All the albums I've listened to in 2026:
AutumnsMusicThe opening to this album is one of my favorite songs this year - the rest, I’m not super sure about. Not bad, but none of it really has stuck with me outside of that ripping intro. Will have to check out more Deftones at some point though and see if another record really gets its claws into me!

Listening Log
HellerphantHow are Deftones still this relevant? private music sounds like an amalgamation of their entire discography, immediately nostalgic, but with enough new exploration to feel a little alien at the same time.

- About this album: A textured mix of alternative metal, shoegaze, and atmospheric rock. The record’s dynamics — from heavy, riff‑driven passages to dreamy, expansive soundscapes — balance intensity and restraint, blending heaviness and ethereality, exploring themes of spiritual rebirth, mental struggle, and transformation. But mostly, it just rocks.

- Song To Sample: “My Mind Is a Mountain,” an explosive opening track that combines heavy guitar, pulsing rhythm, and haunting vocal melody.
