Even In Arcadia

This Album is finally here
When I was four years old I kept imagining different kinds of bands that could make me excited to listen to music. The two key kinds of groups are essentially both idm based metalcore and can be broken down into fire (bring me the horizon, wage war, underoath) and water (sleep token, make them suffer, spiritbox). The reason I specifically loved this one is I was a boy who liked cartoon men and monsters who wanted a power rangers cd- something I could study that was an unusual color like purple or pink. This album is nasty- I've Had Boyfriends Before and the ingredients list based reality of what this is - is very Nasty. I Do want this published because I think it's incredible that a man can play these songs in a power rangers costume and not be called dino-core-but I will say-The electronic/vocal passage on dangerous sounds like being locked in a room with shaggy during an led lights Beer party. There are heavy riffs that sound very aqua monster as in To Say like VEnom- it sounds very intentional- it wouldn't make sense for it not to be based on the research I've done? Otherwise- it's very unique, honestly. The closest comparison I can think of is the 1975, but interestingly enough, this one feels a lot less like queer bait. There's an American Football based passage on gethsemane - but - it's very successfully not gross (I'm pretty sure the riffs on that album are supposed to be). All of the metal moments are great. It's super fun. The hard back case is beatiful- I love a solid plastic case. And it's literally purple with flags and swords and stuff.

Just buy It! Sleep demands reverence.
I’ve been playing this on repeat over and over since it was released Thursday night. This album is all good. Not a bad song on the thing. My favorites are Look to Windward, Emergence, Past Self, Caramel, and Gethsemane. This album is so interesting to hear with the musical breakdowns and change ups. Different styles; hip hop, rap, jazz, electric, pop, metal it’s got it all. Every musician is fantastic and they do the deity known as Sleep a reverential ritual every song. This feels like a very emotionally revealing album for the band and it works brilliantly. I bought the CD form which is great except I wish the lyrics were posted but they are not. Very bare bones slip with band name and record label. This goes with the Sleep Token aesthetic or lore so I get it. Just something I like to have to learn the lyrics of songs. Anyway, fantastic album. Like the title says, just buy it!

Another hit to an amazing discography
I was so scared that this album wouldn’t be as good as their previous ones, they got so popular and I was spooked that maybe their music wouldn’t suffer trying to pander to wider audiences but I can say this is one of their best albumsA great mix of hard and funky getting you hot and bothered in one song only to have you crying in the shower the nextCan’t recommend this band enough to people

Sleep Token's newest addition will capture you
For fans of Sleep Token, this is the next step into their eclectic mysterious musical world. These songs have played in my head from the first moment I heard them. They are rock. They are metal. They are a lot of things. Their lore is a rabbit hole. They are amazing. This album is an experience you can't miss.

1st disc damaged, music itself beautiful
An album of love, love lost and depression. The music is beautiful but don't expect it to sound like their rock songs as most of them are softer and more pop like or somber. Still gorgeous and can feel the emotions of Vessel dealing with the challenges of having some not so good fans.First disc had this weird scratching sound on the first song, but it was an easy replace.

Epic Album
I really enjoyed listening to this album. As someone who is Neurodivergent the music is like song birds to my ears. This is my first Sleep Token album I purchased and I now plan on getting them all. The sounds quality is just superior to what’s on streaming services. Go vinyl!

Buy this album pronto!
Came on time and sealed. Plays great in my car. The album itself is fantastic and I have been listening to it nonstop since I received it. I could always stream their songs but I like buying the CDs for the car because the sound quality is phenomenal and it helps support the band. I love Sleep Token! Worship

10/10
Just an absolutely phenomenal album. I was hoping there weren’t any manufacturing issues, as I heard a handful of people had, but the one I got was fine and sounds amazing.
