Another CD/DVD hybrid release, Deftones: B-Sides & Rarities combines a 14-cut CD together with a 10-music video DVD featuring the California heavy metal band. While the CD is dedicated to covers of songs by various artists (Sade's "No Ordinary Love," Duran Duran's "The Chauffeur," Lynyrd Skynyrd's “Simple Man,” among them), the DVD offers an unrelated compilation of all the band's music videos. On the latter, the Deftones marry impressive technical aptitude with musical monotony (marked by chunka-chunk-chunk arrangements) on "My Own Summer" (featuring pointless images of shark cages and the Deftones playing atop the ocean), the homemade-looking "7 Words," and others, all of which are uniformly unexceptional. DVD extras include a video for the song "Root." Not recommended. Aud: P. (T. Keogh)
