The instruments are pretty good. Especially the drums from Aaron have a nice beat and the guitars are good as well. I guess Chino kind of ruins it for me. Maybe it's his new style of singing or the production on his vocals. I don't know, but those stretched, crooned vocals are so penetrant and annoingly high pitched. I already had problems with some of Chino's vocals on Koi No Yokan, like on Graphic Nature. It's the same thing. High pitched crooning that feel like they'll pearce your ear drums every moment. I kind of miss how Chino used to sing on Diamond Eyes. His vocals on songs like You've Seen The Butcher were so sexy!

I know what you mean, but really, his vocals on both Palms tracks have reminded me more of ATF-era Chino than anything... minus the screams.  But Koi did have those moments you described, for sure.  I just don't hear it in Palms.

What the heck, I thoroughly disagree

Here's my rip

Palms - Patagonia

[sicily]

anyone taking a crack at the lyrics, not for nothing but the prod quality is so muddy, the mix aint right, and his vocals sound too raw.

[hi man]

I like the song but I totally agree the mix is awful and chinos voice is really drowned out with the delay.

[play]

dont like it at all. fuck

[Penicks]

not a fan

[Jerry_Curls]

Chino should just go full on dreampop...don't sing so loud.

I like it, some very beautiful moments. His verses are starting to sound alike. I'll wait for the full album, I just hop he doesn't yelp throughtout the whole album. I love how on Crosses, his singing is on point yet different from what he has done before.

Love it!! Can't wait to hear the rest!!

[pony_01]

chino seems so confused choosing notes to sing.. i hope this grow on me.

[luisch]

¡That bass is so huge!

[sing blue silver]

Sucks. Astonishingly underwhelmed by this project so far.

[Inkblades]

I'm not crazy about Chino's vocals, but Tropics grew on me, so maybe this will too.

[DeftonesNZ]

It's not that bad but Tropics is better, Chino sounds separated from what's going on with the instrumentals but I'm guessing it's a grower I already like it more than I did on first listen.

[asshole]

musically is amazing... sounds dreamy... not really what i expected for the project. i thought that was crosses... vocally sound like the early demos of team sleep... the mix of the vox is not cool.... just saying
