Even In Arcadia

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.

Only a few songs that really grab me enough to finish the whole song. Love TMBTE, and this has quite a few motifs from it that get me hooked in, but some of the composition left me wanting more. Not a bad album by any means, but my friend and I both concluded that this album is just mid and feels very "playing it safe." Damocles and Gethsemane are absolute S-tier bangers, then Caramel and Past Self come in at a solid A, followed by Infinite Baths and Emergence in B, with everything else just feeling like it falls short.Definitely still worth a listen.

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!

The Sleep Token – Even In Arcadia vinyl is absolutely stunning, both visually and sonically. The pressing quality is excellent, with clear, rich sound that really captures the band’s atmospheric and emotional style. The artwork and packaging are beautifully designed, making it a great collector’s piece.Listening to it on vinyl adds a warm depth to the music that digital just can’t replicate. Whether you’re a longtime fan or new to Sleep Token, this record is a must-have for your collection.Highly recommend for anyone who loves immersive, genre-blending music on vinyl.

I got just the standard black disk edition, I wasn't expecting much. The poster was really hard to get out of the package without almost ripping the album box, and there seems to be a noticeable scratchy part at the end Provider and into Damoclese on (D3)I'm aware I may not have the greatest turntable or stylus or speaker setup but I can hear it plain as day.

This album arrived on release day. I have to say, it is the most amazing Sleep Token album ever! I highly recommend you pick up a copy of this album on CD, or vinyl! This album is a big step up from Sleep Token's third album, "Take Me Back to Eden". My favorite songs from this album are "Dangerous", "Even In Arcadia", "Damocles", and "Gethsemane". Vessel's vocals are superb on this album. And the instrumentation on this album is fantastic. Please don't hesitate! Go grab a copy of this beautiful masterpiece! You won't be disappointed!

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

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.
