So uh...1 new song?

[TeleFreak80]

Recycled much?? This is not new. I had most of these tracks over 5 years ago.

[im not mental]

weren't most of these songs on b sides and rarities?

The Sade cover is the only interesting one, and these have been available for Gods know how long.

Yeah, most of these were on B-Sides and Rarities, and the Cars cover came with White Pony as an iTunes exclusive.

That said, I'm a huge Deftones fan, and would buy this.

Deftones are always awesome, these songs have been around awhile but are still incredible, so this is a new single with a crap load of extra b-sides

[hriday_hazarika]

Their cover of The Cars' "Drive" is incredible.
