Sleep have returned with their first new music in 8 years via Third Man Records as well as a big lineup change.

Sleep without Pike just doesn't hit the same for me
| | | Should really have done a name change. Also no KC date boo
| | | Trash song, shame because Dale and Bubba are both legends
| | | Man at least have the decency to chamge the band name to Snooze
| | | The more I hear this song and read the promo stuff around it, the more put off I am from the whole thing. I've seen people say there was a Matt Pike interview where he concedes Sleep is Al's baby, and that's fine I guess. But with this song you can definitely tell that Matt's not there, and without him it's just Sleep Lite. Like the song is more or less the same Sleep style song, but it's just so neutered. Sad times, new Sleep is supposed to be exciting. : (
| | | Sleep have always kinda sucked though tbh
| | | Absolute bullshit. No pike no sleep. Al done lost his fuckin mind.
| | | Between Al and Dale, might as well have just called it Shrinebuilder instead
| | | No Pike/10
| | | I'm not sure that Sleep without Matt Pike is Sleep. Snooze or Nap, maybe.
>>Al done lost his fuckin mind.
Yep.
| | | No idea who this band is, but pretty rad to see "Sleep" news right after "Insomnium" news. Hopefully "Dream Theater" news next.
| | | LOL!
| | | "Sleep have always kinda sucked though tbh"
I award you no points and may god have mercy on your soul, holy fuck.
| | | boring track where are the riffs oh right
| | | woah, this is news!
| | | Sleep without Matt isn't Sleep tbh...
| | | What are we doing here
| | | This stinks
| | | yeah this is fart and poop yikes. no pike no care
| | | Sources say Pike was too high on fire to attend
| | | Seems weird to me that we never had news about what was going on inside the band. It's a complete surprise to me that Matt & the drummer are suddenly out of the band...
| | | how in the fuck did they get the guy from Void in on this? that’s honestly the weirdest part for me lol
| | | ^ That was my thought, lmao.
It's not really Sleep without Matt. Should've done a name change.
| | | to be fair when Roeder got let go by their manager that was the most suspicious part of the camp at the time
Pike not wanting to be a part of it is on brand tbh
| | | Sleep without Matt is just Nap
| | | Not only no Pike, but the way they treated Jason Roeder, this iteration deserves to flop.
| | | This is pretty lame. I wasn’t really a fan before even if I can acknowledge that the other stuff is good - but this is noticeably worse.

Quid modo de me dixisti, scortula? Scias me primum in classe mea in Navy Seals graduatum esse, et in multis incursionibus secretis in Al-Quaedam implicatum esse, et plus quam trecentas caedes confirmatas habere. In bello gorillarum exercitatus sum et summus sagittarius in omnibus copiis armatae Americanae sum. Nihil mihi es nisi aliud scopus. Te delebo cum praecisione qualis numquam antea in hac Terra visa est, memento verborum meorum. Putasne te impune facere posse ista mihi per interrete dicendo? Cogita iterum, scelerate. Dum loquimur, rete meum secretum speculatorum per Civitates Foederatas contactum facio et inscriptionem tuam IP nunc investigatur, ita te ad tempestatem para, vermiculus. Tempestatem quae rem illam miserabilem quam vitam tuam vocas delet. Mortuus es, puer. Ubivis, quandocumque esse possum, et te plus quam septingentis modis necare possum, et id nudis manibus meis. Non solum in proelio sine armis late exercitatus sum, sed etiam ad totum armamentarium Classiariorum Marinorum Civitatum Foederatarum aditum habeo, quo ad summum usum utar ut miserum tuum clunem e facie continentis deleam, stercus. Si modo scire potuisses quam nefariam poenam parvum tuum "callidum" commentum in te allaturum esset, fortasse linguam tuam tacuisses. Sed non potuisti, non fecisti, et nunc pretium pendis, stulte detestabile. Furorem in te effundam et in eo submergeris. Mortuus es, puer.
| | | I do think people are being overly harsh on this and feel bad for Bubba in all this
Riff wise, it's fine, not one of their best but could have passed for a Sciences by side. What it's really lacking is tone though. It sounds thin and weak compared to that album
| | | Track is just boring and sucks, wtf is that goofy synth riff. I didn't order diet Om. Plus this Bubba guy probably plays with a shirt on, weak
