Deftones - private music (Album Thread)

[tongues_of_flame]

Is it perhaps Infinite Source written about Chi and Cut Hands written about Vega?

speaking of infinite source, did anyone else notice the inversion in souvenir? the lyrics go from "keep holding me / close and tight" in the former to "me holding / you tightly" in the latter.

Seems to be a lot of holding someone in space on this record

I really like the new album and would love to hear some of them live, but it seems like they aren't going to play any new ones outside of those three.

They used to change up setlists a decent amount. They played mostly every song on every album live, up through the touring cycle for Gore.

I was really disappointed with the lack of Ohms song when they toured for that album, but then DDLD in '22 they busted out so many rarities. It was one of my favorite Deftones shows. (Ceremony, Error, 976-evil, Goon Squad, Rapture, Needles and Pins, RX Queen).

Not sure we will ever get a Private Music heavy show at this point. I would love to hear more from PM and Ohms live but I don't think it'll ever happen with either album.

Makes me appreciate all the random songs I've heard live in the past like (L)MIRL, Boys Republic, Geometric Headdress, Street Carp, Teenager, etc)

Last part of your post made me realize I shouldn't bitch. I've heard some rare songs. Can't even breathe, deathblow, THATH (although I'm not sure if you can call this a rarity since it was a tour staple in the WP era)

I remember them opening with THATH once. So great.

I've seen them 51 times so I guess there aren't many surprises left. Always had a personal (selfish) goal of seeing one new song live every time I've seen them. It's happened almost every show aside from the last two. 

Goddamn I've seen them 9 times and started to get tired of the setlists lol. So what songs have you NOT heard at this point?

The way the conversation for the album has dropped off here considering the months of anticipation is shocking

Every Album Cycle:

Phase 1: Fans speculation, searching out and finding clues, whining about no news from the band. Balls become blue.

Phase 2: Silence breaks and the singles roll in, the forum goes wild with everyone's opinions/criticisms.

Phase 3: Days before the album's release, it leaks and the forum EXPLODES with new accounts and lurkers who come to just beg for the album leak.

Phase 4: Some reviews get written, some butts get hurt, people argue and post how others are wrong even though their counterpoint makes less sense, etc. etc..

..and then the forum dies... until next album cycle. Rinse and repeat.

Hahaha holy shit, I think it's true

[Moana91]

Going by mainstream popularity/success, where would you guys place this one in relation to the rest of the discography?

I suck at this shit

[DefFsho]

I guess I'm ready to learn how to post all pics and cool stuff from my last 28 year history with this band. I know someone asked me recently, but I've never done it or seen it much done on here. Pretty soon I'll get with someone I know that's pretty savvy With basic tech stuff.Lol ill show off some cool personal collections from over the years at some point. Nobody else to share them with bc its Deftones

I'd say going by mainstream success it seems to be doing well, they're probably at the height of their popularity so I'm sure it's beating out many of their previous albums.

I do, its weird I already responded to this with no......because I thought you meant the verses both in the song infinite source. Glad I read it again yeah I see it. Wow, waves jk

It's my understanding that in the last couple years Deftones has somehow made a resurgence, apparently on TikTok as it's been mentioned here before. As I was waiting for the new album to drop I kept tabs on whatever popped up on Youtube Deftones-related and I actually saw many people younger than me make videos doing album to album reviews, and loving the entire catalogue.
I assume this follows the trend of gen Z's "nostalgia" for the 90s and early 2000s, including the trend of nu-metal (it's been through many memes) and now a younger audience is just finding out that Deftones is just that fucking good, regardless who prefers the early stuff of the rest of it.
And I guess that leads us to Private Music making numbers, 30 years after the release of Adrenaline. I don't use Tiktok, I don't care about it, but seeing a new generation of people find out about Deftones and love it? HELL YEAH.

i'm not gonna lie, i've been off of tiktok for a few months (kept getting brokeback mountain edits and couldn't take the gut punches anymore) and if anything, i've been seeing a SHIT TON of what i'm assuming are music commentary/reaction type channels when it comes to people making content on deftones, specifically their albums (mainly private music and ATF). at first it was just 1-5 people, but now it's big and small creators of all kinds.

you're doing better than i did because i thought to upload images on here i had to make them 50x50 (see the asgore smirk i resized and made more or less incomprehensible when i was sending the leaks)...to be fair, this was when i was trying to add my pfp so i guess i assumed the dimensions were the same when it comes to sending images through the forums.

The more I listen to the album I understand why Chino's vocals took so long from having the music tracks. A lot of the riffs feel recycled and don't play for as many bars before the chorus.

Chino and I am guessing Frank spend a lot time colouring in their channels to take the songs somewhere different. It's like the change in dynamic at Gore is still there but Steph is more included. He doesn't bring anything new to his input as far as I can hear. If Gore has this much keys and colour, it would have lifted songs like Xenon especially, maybe L(MIRL) too (I hate the drum sound in that latter song... but there are decent remixes/remastered versions online too)

I heard all of Adrenaline, all of ATF, all of White Pony include BTS, Boy's Republic, and I count Pink Maggit because they used to play the intro live.



I've see all of self titled, except for Anniversary and Moana.

From SNW didn't hear UUDD, Pink Cellphone or Combat

From DE - didn't hear This Place is Death

From KNY - didn't hear Romantic Dreams, Leathers, Graphic Nature, Gauze.

From Gore - didn't hear Doomed User, Pittura, Xenon

Ohms - only saw Genesis Ohms Error and Ceremony. Nothing else was ever played live if I'm not mistaken.

Nothing from PM, yet.

(This was a fun exercise. Off from work today so I had time to go through the discography lol)

Hell yeah. Thanks for doing that. Also had the pleasure of hearing pink maggit used as an intro during the self titled tour.

Now I'm curious about all the times I've seen them and how much of the discography I've heard lol

[Moana91]

B_S_79, where did you hear Deathblow ?!?!
