This is not the product of today’s typical one-hit wonder band. Listeners will do themselves a disservice if they go to iTunes and cherry-pick a few songs.

The band’s line-up was the same, except that Sergio Vega (formerly of Quicksand) played bass.Īs I said, this is a fantastic album. He is still recovering from an automobile accident and did not participate in making their latest album (or supporting tour).ĭiamond Eyes was released on May 4, which was two weeks earlier than planned, probably because the entire album had already been leaked out onto the internet. There was a pretty long gap between Saturday Night Wrist and Diamond Eyes, due to serious injuries to their bassist, Chi Cheng. The Deftones, based out of Sacramento, have been cranking out hard-edged alternative music since 1988. In May, the band released their sixth album, Diamond Eyes, which is an even better album. We will not tolerate anything that is not officially released, or where the label said a word.Īgain, thanks to everyone who has fully complied, and sorry to those who didn't see eye-to-eye on this.The Deftones Saturday Night Wrist album from 2006 introduced a new sound for the band, and was their best album to date. No links, no public requests for leaks by private messages. However, like I said above: no leaks of the other stuff. Talk ahead, we have no problems with it anymore. Now moving forward: the cover art, the tracklist and details about the singles are free. However, I found myself in this very unusual position of trying to play ball with the fans and the officials at the same time. I am all for communities speculating and figuring things out, it definitely is part of the fun. They did this out of respect for the work I provide for this community, however I instigated this.Īll of this was fully exceptional. u/optemoz and u/theataraxian fully complied while we didn't necessarily see eye-to-eye. I also need to say: if you have any problems with what happened, I'm the only one who should get the heat.

I need to press that since some people thought those things or even that I had the new record early on: I didn't, and I don't. I was not commissioned or paid, I didn't have access to special privileges, or anything like that. For the record: the label has deleted the teaser from this subreddit themselves, and we decided to go with it too.įor the sake of transparency, I had no interest in this other than helping out I band I owe a lot to. The other point of the policy was to protect the subreddit from being erased over repeated copyright infringements. Our point was to help it roll out the way it should be, amidst the crazy hyperactive digital age we live in. As you can see with the current teasers, they have a solid, elaborate plan. The point of the policy was for Deftones to be able to do things on their own terms, as opposed to all their previous releases where we all got stuff in advance. I also want to thank all the people who have complied. Some of you were very frustrated by the range of the policy, which I fully understand. To cut it short, I was approached by officials to help moderate the leaks on the platforms I could, that is DeftonesLive, the subreddit, and sharinglungs. Requests for links and such will be deleted.īefore we move forward, we need to clear things up regarding the recent, admittedly hard policy on the leaks: We strongly encourage you to wait until it's midnight where you live to listen to it legally, but you do you. We consider it as fair game and we encourage you to finally discuss everything.

The single has officially gone live on Spotify and YouTube, and the album title as well as tracklist are up on Apple Music: only for parts of the world where it's already Friday, and a leak of the single has followed for parts of the world where it's still Thursday.
