Deftones’ “Private Music” — Track by Track Runtime Breakdown

Deftones’ upcoming album Private Music is not just a continuation of their sonic evolution—it’s a carefully timed experience. Clocking in at just under 43 minutes across 11 tracks, the album strikes a compelling balance between brevity and depth. Here’s a closer look at the runtime of each track and what it tells us about the band’s intent.

⏱️ Track-by-Track Runtime Breakdown:

1. My Mind Is a Mountain – 2:51
   A high-energy opener that wastes no time, setting the tone in under three minutes.

2. Locked Club – 2:52
   Back-to-back with the opener, this is another compact burst—likely intense, focused, and immediate.

3. Ecdysis – 3:28
   Slightly longer, hinting at a potential structural shift or layered dynamics.

4. Infinite Source – 3:32
   Keeps the flow tight but allows enough room for atmosphere to build.

5. Souvenir – 6:10
   The longest track on the album, this appears to be Private Music’s emotional or experimental centerpiece.

6. cXz – 3:12
   A return to tighter pacing—possibly a textural or rhythm-driven piece.

7. I Think About You All the Time – 4:08
   One of the more emotionally driven titles, and its longer runtime suggests it may lean into melodic depth.

8. Milk of the Madonna – 4:08
   Shares its length with the previous track—could be a sonic or thematic pairing.

9. Cut Hands – 3:01
   Snaps the album back to a sharper pace; the title implies something raw or visceral.

10. ~Metal Dream – 3:02
    Possibly the most “Deftones-sounding” title, it’s short and likely intense or ethereal.

11. Departing the Body – 5:59
    A near six-minute closer, likely an expansive and atmospheric ending to the record.

🕒 Total Runtime: 42 minutes and 23 seconds

The album is remarkably balanced. With only two tracks exceeding the five-minute mark (Souvenir and Departing the Body), most songs fall comfortably in the 3–4 minute range, maintaining a dynamic pacing throughout.
