Deftones are a band that was mildly popular in the late 90s/early 2000s. You know, back when nu-metal was big.
Apparently they want to acknowledge the nostalgia factor that still keeps them going in 2011, by releasing their albums on vinyl, yet another nostalgic object which only sells because people are, well, nostalgic.
“This fall, Reprise Records will release a limited edition vinyl box set from Deftones. ‘Deftones: The Vinyl Collection, 1995 – 2011’ will be available October 25 exclusively via Deftones.com and BecauseSoundMatters.com. The collection is a seven-album (8 LP) retrospective containing the band’s six studio albums — 1995’s ‘Adrenaline,’ 1997’s ‘Around The Fur,’ 2000’s ‘White Pony,’ 2003’s ‘Deftones,’ 2006’s ‘Saturday Night Wrist,’ and 2010’s ‘Diamond Eyes,’ and the limited-edition 2011 Record Store Day release ‘Covers.’“
