Deftones "Diamond Eyes" 2025-03-21 Finding Wildflowers (Alternate Versions) featuresDiamond Eyes works the way good records used to; each song carries you a little further away from your crappy day until finally, you've been transported to a place that feels a whole lot better than where you started.
