Sleep Token - Take Me Back To Eden (May 19, 2023) • Page 3

Need a fresh pair of Sleep Token shorts from the merch table after that one.

 

Agreed. More merch sales!

They definitely sharted on that one.

 

that pre-game Taco Bell hits different

 

If hands were butts then okay.

 

R.I.P rip-gate

 

No hands could make that kind of SOUND. LOL

 

Yeah that was a full on "fill up your jeans" fart

 

For the yolk-heads out there, a Clear with Black Yolk variant now available to preorder from Sleep Token's (UK?) site: Take Me Back To Eden Double Vinyl - Clear with Black Yolk - Sleep Token.

Probably going to stick with the Gold Nugget variant but this looks decent, if you haven't been able to nab a variant.

 

Sub

 

just got a tracking number for the vinyl. LFG.

 

I got an advance of this last week and the unreleased tracks are majestic - the last two in particular

 

tbh, i was really worried that the singles might've been the stronger points of the album, but this has me incredibly excited. am i allowed to ask if there are any additional heavy songs like The Summoning or Vore?

 

Title track builds into really heavy shit in that vein

 

Same here.

 

......drip

 

AOTY so far for me. Easily their best album to date.

 

agreed.

 

Patiently waiting for Friday to give it a full listen, front to back. I did get a chance to read a few reviews that dropped this morning. Either reviewers love the boundary pushing of the album or it's Imagine Dragons. Quite the spectrum lol.

 

part of me wonders if the latter comparisons are prominent amongst people not familiar with the band's other work, because i get the comparisons re: genre-bending, but Sleep Token is infinitely more creative with their genre-bending than ID's more predictable output, imo.

 

This is my first official entry into Sleep Token but I still think comparisons to Imagine Dragons, X Ambassadors, etc. is a bit lazy. And from what I've read about previous albums, this is what this band does. They could write 10 "The Summoning" tracks for an album to appease certain sites but that isn't who they appear to be. I don't hold too much weight into surface level artist/band comparisons.

 

Imagine Dragons comparisons are baffling to me. Just listen to Vore.

 

Anyone who compares ST to Imagine Dragons loses a lot if not all credibility with me.

 

I've just started listening to them and definitely there's a few songs that remind me of Imagine Dragons or have elements that are reminiscent. But by no means would I describe a full album or their discography as sounding like Imagine Dragons.

 

It's just a way to describe the way he sings sometimes. I don't like it when he does that, and I also think it sounds like Imagine Dragons who I also don't like, so the comparison is easy to make, if not lazy.

 

surprisingly, i see fewer people make vocal comparisons to Dan Smith from Bastille. the first time i heard them two years ago, my ears immediately perked up like "is this... Bastille?"
