Deftones - private music (2025)
Private Music marks Deftones’ tenth studio album—the longest gap (five years) between releases—showcasing a band confidently in control of their signature heavy-meets-dreamlike sound. The album opens with thunderous riffing and finely balanced dynamics, evolving through tracks that juxtapose aggression (“locked club”) with ethereal melodies (“infinite source”). It remains classic Deftones, but with a sleek, polished production that accentuates both emotional punch and sonic depth. There's a sense of reflection and subtle experimentation here—even the fuzzed, distant textures evoke a haunting nostalgia. Universally praised, the album earns high acclaim for its cohesion and expressive clarity, even as some fans yearn for more instantly memorable hooks.
