"To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Sleep Token. The music is extremely progressive, and without a solid grasp of advanced music theory most of the songs will go over a typical listener's head. There's also the band's lore, which is deftly woven into their characterization, while their mythology draws heavily from H.P. Lovecraft's stories, for instance. The fans understand this stuff. They have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these songs, to realize that they're not just good, they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence, people who dislike Sleep Token truly ARE idiots. Of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the effortless agility with which the band seamlessly fuses Prog, Metal, Pop, Funk, and Hip-Hop, or how Vessel's vocal range puts even the most acclaimed opera singers to shame. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Vessel's genius lyrical storytelling unfolds itself into their ears. What fools, how I pity them.
And yes, by the way, I DO have a Sleep Token tattoo. And no, you can't see it. It's for the worshippers' eyes only, and even then they have to demonstrate their unwavering devotion to the ancient deity Sleep beforehand. Nothing personal, kid."
A Facebook comment on their song getting being no.1 on the charts. Cringe to the max.
