PALMS [new Chino Moreno side project]

[Hank]

lol I know

and yes that song is quite a number

[schlueter]

Glad he does a lil bit of yelling and wasn't all whispers. Mission getting lots of plays

[the deft ones]

Cheers guys

It feels odd to recognize that for the most part, the vocals are the odd man out. After the first listen B- feels about right with Mission Sunset being the clear highlight.

[DeftonesNZ]

Yeah but I think the production has done Chino no favours, they've tried to make it sound dreamy and distant but he just sounds poorly mixed in the end, I wish that had got some one who really knows what they're doing to take care of that part of it. If Chino's part was mixed properly this would be epic it's still great though.

100% agree. Its certainly more of the mix than the vocals. Theres also something disconcerting about listening to a record and it being obviously "pasted" together in a way. (The way some songs on Saturday Night Wrist are missing certain dynamics, for example)

[DeftonesNZ]

Yeah I got that feeling to, the instrumentals just seemed to be all clear and on the same level and then the vocals sound like they are on their own track playing at the same time.

[asshole]

that link doesnt work for me...

[DeftonesNZ]

have a look on getmetal.org

yea
somewhat like the effect on " When Girls Telephone Boys " and alot of other songs Chino has been on.

Man , you guys act like whoever makes the actual music doesn't get to listen to it before it's produced and released. I'm sure that's how they wanted it to sound. Sure we all have our opinions ..I just don't see that agrument and would like some examples of what you are talking about.

[asshole]

thanks...got to wait 30 minutes

[DeftonesNZ]

Yeah but this was self produced and I think that was a mistake, they obviously had an idea of what they wanted to do but the execution just isn't that great, Chino was obviously meant to sound dreamy and atmospheric but the way they've done it sounds a bit like Chino was poorly recorded, he sounds slightly muffled and compressed, you can definitely see what they were going for and they didn't do that bad of a job but I think they should have taken the idea they had in their head to someone who really knows how to get that perfect sound, the music itself is great but it just sounds like we're not hearing the songs at there best.

[bewareofrats]

So, has this officially leaked?

Is that a serious question? And I love how someone gives everyone a link, then people still wanna ask for a link lol

I don't know what is considered an official leak.  It's not on main torrent sites that I saw.  I first saw it was on getmetal so didn't even know if it was legit as I've never heard of that site.

So, is the leak album quality?

Cool man . I didn't know it was self produced and now knowing that, It's a great point you made. Still it's how they wanted to present it to us so I can respect the sound but can also see what your'e saying. I don't find the vocals to much of a problem really. I do think the end of Shortwave radio could have been so much better along with Antarctic Handshake. Those songs have so much building up but just seem to fizzle out while a song like Mission Sunset just explodes into what I expected this band to be when I first heard they formed.

That is one gorgeous song .



I dig this effort though and have always loved the guys from Isis so I hope we hear alot more in the future.

[Sushi-X]

Anyone got lyrics yet?

[DeftonesNZ]

Yeah this albums pretty great, I love this sort of music and this albums going to be thrashed by me, Really good job by the Isis guys as-well a bit of a departure from what they're used  to but they nailed it,the instrumentals are top notch. I see a lot of potential I just wish Chino would be more involved in the writing as it might make him gel in more and slightly better production, but overall it's awesome considering it's their first album and given that Chino's schedule got in the way.

I don't know what you consider "main torrent sites" but it's been on all the good torrent sites like wcd for around 8 hours now.I checked spectrals myself,they are legit.
If you can't find a torrent for it by now,your on the wrong sites.

As far as production is concerned,we all the know vocals were recorded months after,and you can really tell at certain points.
None the less,it's still a great album,and its nice to hear Chino yell a bit,was not expecting much of that.

Isohunt and Piratebay are the ones I normally use.  A few show up on isohunt now but they show 45 mb for 320 so it doesn't add up.

No,320 is a fake.

[schlueter]

About a 12er and few pipes and cigs in. It's fucking great. Perfect timing for summer time bs.
