oh shit, and Revolver's warehouse is 3 hours away from me, so i might be getting this tomorrow or Wednesday at this rate (hopefully before Thursday because i'm going out of town for a wedding)
Qobuz's listing has an early "review" of the album. some interesting tidbits on some of the songs. https://www.qobuz.com/us-en/album/even-in-arcadia-sleep-token/zo922etceg5ma#description
i only put it in quotes because it's four paragraphs from a digital music storefront/streaming service mostly listing song details - not really critiquing it the way most music journalists would. it's informative and makes me excited to hear the full album, but i wouldn't call it a review in the traditional sense.
I’m going zero dark thirty this week on reviews. Want to go into my first listen with just the singles as a reference to the album.
Preorder from band’s site is arriving Friday for me. If it does, then that’s two in a row with ST preorders arriving on release day. Impressive and appreciated lol
Ironically, I got into Sleep Token because of BILMURI and not the other way around haha. Excited for this release.
idk if this is gonna overtake TMBTE, but damn that was great. some of their best material on this album.
Ending of Infinite Baths is exactly what I wanted Highlights for me are Look to Windward, Gethsemane, Infinite Baths, Damocles, and Past Self Really solid all the way through
It is such an interesting record. Definitely a continuation of TMBTE however in terms of sound it is not a significant change from it. I got into them during the last record so the sound and the song structures are definitely familiar and after TMBTE it is at times a bit predictable? as well. But nevertheless the songs are great, Vessels singing sounds the best on this record and oh my the harsh scream/singing during that part of the title track is something else. It might not top TMBTE for me, but after that much of anticipation it would have been really hard to, however they definitely exceeded my expectation.
only ever heard a few Sleep Token songs but this album is pretty cool! got indoctrinated by hearing all the singles on repeat in my housemate's car, lmao
