Deftones have even nodded to shoegaze and postrock: “Cherry Waves” is just as creamy and heart-wrenching as anything My Bloody Valentine has ever released, while “Mascara” could pass for a lost Slint demo. Hell, if Deftones’ 1998 single “Be Quiet and Drive” had picked up a bit more airplay upon its release, it could have usurped “Everlong” as 90s radio rock’s most ubiquitous post-shoegaze emotional banger.
