**💭 Thoughts:** *Diamond Eyes*, Deftones’ highly acclaimed sixth album, has the band fully embracing a combination between alternative metal and shoegaze. Personally, I’m more a fan of Deftones’ sound throughout their first few albums, however this record is still great. **🎶 Tracklist Review** 1.) Diamond Eyes 🔵 2.) Royal 🔵 3.) CMND/CTRL 🔵 4.)
