Whilst I like what Deftones do, I find it hard to listen to an album of theirs from beginning to end, generally a few tracks are just brutal and OK in small doses. I'd heard Team Sleep was Chino's side project, was more mellow with beats and programming rather than heavy guitar. What a really good album, the 1st 3 tracks are like a melodic Deftones and much easier to listen to. At track 4 the vocalist changes and Rob Crow takes over, he sounds a little like Billy Corgan to me and perhaps a bit lightweight on the couple of songs he leads on. The female vocal, Mary, is very good, a very distinctive voice and quite haunting but for me this is Chino's lighter side and its great to hear this side of him. There are still plenty of guitars in the mix but much more beats and piano. A very good album.Read full review
after hearing 'our ride to the rectory' i knew i had to buy this, being a deftones fan already i had nigh hopes for chinos side project team sleep, sadly my hopes were too high, and it was not what i expected, however if u approach this offering with a open mind and no previous assumptions or expectations then you might just be pleasantly surprised.
A brilliant album that is getting better and better each time Ilisten to it. The album is very relaxing and ambient, so perfect to chil out to at the end of the day. The riffs are atmospheric and Chino's (aka God) vocals are moody.
I am a huge fan of the Deftones, so I was very interested in hearing Chino Moreno's side project. I wasn't disappointed and this album hasn't been off my stereo since I bought it. People expecting a carbon copy of the Deftones will probably be very disappointed, but if you love Chino's haunting voice then this is for you. Ever Since WW1 is most reminiscent of a Deftone's tune but that's where the comparisons end. Keep an open mind to enjoy the most chilled, haunting, ethereal, magical album that I have heard for a very long time!
Great experimental album, only one dud track..Deftones fans will love the tracks feat. Chino. For Deftones completists only.
