The two different sides of Team Sleep..

Interestingly, I think there's two distinct styles to the music of Team Sleep: the summery indie rock side (Ever, 11-11, Ever Since WW1, Elizabeth, Our Ride To The Rectory, etc.), and then the electronica-heavy futuristic side (King Diamond, Appollonia, Ataraxia, Staring At The Queen, Paris Arm, Doomed User, bionicA, etc.)...the lyrics to King Diamond (the original version) and Appollonia are also quite sci-fi infused, with references to technology like PRC T3's, computers, relooping, starting, restarting, etc.

Anyway, which style do you like better? I enjoy both tremendously, but Chino simply singing over a futuristic, synth-heavy Crook beat is a winning combination. I hope that whenever they start on the next album, there's a couple songs that are just that.

That seems like an over-simplification of what they do.
never odd or even

Yeah. There is, of course, more to them than just that. Those are just the two of the more prevalent aspects of them that I find interesting.

Team sleep was starting to get good, then deftones had to fuck it all up.
