However, I feel like the negative connotation attached to that is unwarranted. We saw a relative flop when ?Gore? was released, for its experimental nature and odd production choices. Deftones yet again released a more challenging and less ?commercial? album with ?Ohms? and although a fantastic release in its own right, it did split the crowd somewhat. As a result I think that Private Music serves as a superbly executed break for the fans, where they don?t necessarily want to be challenged and just want to enjoy the music for the very reasons they fell in love with the band in the first place. TL;DR - There will always be people that find issues and get salty with the way general consensus plays out. Just enjoy the ride.Deftones Diamond EyesDeserta Every Moment, Everything You NeedThis album is unbelievable imo.

As an album, it sounds great and is arranged very nicely. Could it be more diverse? Probably. Does it need to be? I’m not so sure… When issue is had with the genre tropes that are inevitable with the artistic direction that the band has chosen, I would suggest that it’s not a case of being a bad album, more a general dislike for the genre itself. Hundredth Somewhere NowhereSpent time listening to the album for what it is. Although is still prefer the EP and their previous album, I really enjoy to direction that the band has moved into. Would just really prefer more songs like "Whatever" and "Iridescent". Hundredth Faded SplendorI really enjoyed the singles but was hoping that the rest of the album would match the tone of Blitz and Waste a bit closer. The record is still lots of fun imo with some cool stand outs (Curve/Big Love) and definitely worth diving in. There’s something frustrating about the fact that half the album was released in the lead up to the full body of songs, which takes the wind out of its sails somewhat. Would be nice if Sputnik allowed more specific ratings (cough cough…) as I’d give Faded Splendor 3.7 at least, rather than the pigeonholed 3.5.

The concept of melancholic soundscapes, mixed with lo-fi "emo-esque" dreampop holds up well in my opinion. However, as much as I'm drawn in by the swirling ambience, I do find the vocals a quite grating and underproduced in comparison to the instrumentals.

What lets it down is the cringy lyrics. The melodies are fine but I can’t help but grit my teeth during some of the vocal delivery.

Also, pretty cheeky to call it a new album, when it’s really just an extended EP. The Microwave DNA is still clearly there and there are some cool moments, but it’s just too ploddy for me.
