This week, Deftones make a highly anticipated return with "my mind is a mountain," their first single from the upcoming album private music. The track combines raw energy and atmospheric elements typical of their style, yet it lacks the wow factor and memorable hooks found in their earlier work. While it satisfies hardcore fans, it feels more like a solid late-career offering rather than a groundbreaking comeback.
Do you think fans have set unrealistically high expectations for bands with such a rich legacy, or is it fair to anticipate significant evolution in their sound?
