Nah, the vocals are the only thing that is very far, they are too post grungy and edgy sounding. It sounds more like old chevelle or RED than it does like deftones. The whole interesting thing about deftones is chino using a lot of fry and being on the line between connected singing and spoken word + using a lot of really cool effects and layering to make the sound “new age-y” in nature and as such sounding “sexy”.

This really did nail that early-mid 2000s Deftones sound. As much as this band kinda gets memed their influence has definitely shaped a tonne of the bands that have come up in the past decade or so. I'll always be a fan of Deftones and whilst their first 4 or so albums are easily my go tos I always manage to find stuff even on their later albums that I can really enjoy... they found a rather unique sound against other bands out there and have stood out and are still out there making music today because of it.
