Fans of the Deftones' unique take on alternative metal will find plenty to cherish on B-SIDES & RARITIES. In addition to boasting the band's trademark heaviosity and atmospheric tendencies, the collection also contains a host of great covers, including inventive, hard-hitting takes on songs by, surprisingly enough, the Smiths, Duran Duran, and even Sade (her wistful, dreamy "Ordinary Love"). This eclectic set will remind listeners that the Deftones have one of the more wide-ranging and experimental palettes on the heavy music scene.
