A couple of years ago, I was super excited when I heard the news that Deftones singer, Chino Moreno was forming a band with three members of ISIS. Of course I was interested in how they will sound. Would it sound like ISIS with Chino on vocals? Or would it be a complete different band?
Well, I will say this; Palms sound like a nice cross between Alternative Metal and Post-Rock. I can hear a bit of Deftones and ISIS. But it does have a tropical/dream-like feel. It really does feel like another band. But of course Chino's vocals are very recognizable. Hopefully when you're listening to it, you can get past that. And I have to mention that it's nice hearing Clifford Meyer doing more guitar.
"Future Warrior" starts off great. With "Patagonia", I just wanted to close my eyes and pretend I'm flying above the clouds. And from there on, it's just enjoyable. I don't think this is going to break any new ground. But I'm pretty sure Chino has done it with the Deftones. And Aaron Harris , Cliff Meyer, and Jeff Caxide have did get that whole Post-Metal thing rocking and rolling. So if you enjoy the work of the Deftones and ISIS, I might recommend this. This was a good record by very creative people.
