The Studio Album Collection

Review

The Studio Album Collection by Deftones is a comprehensive anthology that showcases the band's evolution from raw, aggressive alt-metal origins to a more experimental and atmospheric sound.

Chino Moreno's emotive vocals and the band's dynamic arrangements shine throughout, offering both longtime fans and newcomers a deep dive into their sonic journey. It’s a must-have for anyone looking to experience the full breadth of Deftones' influential and genre-defying catalog.
