dead is better [2]

Album Rating: 4.5

I actually love his singing, but I seem to have an affinity for bands with vocalists other people often find annoying (Coheed, TMV, Periphery, TYS).

Album Rating: 2.0

Vessel can sing. He can hit the notes. But the notes themselves, they are g ay



sorry

Album Rating: 3.0

not trying to double up on the societal judgment here so i'm glad there's some heavier music charting again, even if it isn't "the best" it could be

"Vessel can sing. He can hit the notes. But the notes themselves, they are g ay" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA 10/10 reference

"I actually love his singing, but I seem to have an affinity for bands with vocalists other people often find annoying (Coheed, TMV, Periphery, TYS)." yeah actually fair enough. i just have an extremely short leash for lower-pitched vocalists, especially ones like CORPSE where it's so overly edgy that it's cringe. and this album commits a cardinal sin to me in vocal production...on its lead single!

Band transcends genre, and cultural norms. At their worst, they are a pop band breaking the mold for what is pop in its contemporary form. In an era of pop where songs are only getting shorter, and song structures more simplistic, Sleep Token songs just get longer and more adventurous. The band is barely metal at this point, but I simply don't care. They are genre fluid in its most purist form. No matter what they write, their melodies are always drenched in an undeniable regal divinity.

Yeah, I can get how people would find it annoying. I feel like in a different context, I might like it less. I can't think of any other vocalist I really like that sounds like him. Someone here described it like he's trying to sing with a mouthful of marbles, and y'know, I agree. But perhaps the marbles in his mouth are the ones I've lost along the way.

Well to be fair Sleep Token does fit that 'thinking man's metal' tag. I don't remember if it was a guy from Pelican or other Post-Metal band who said it but that tag suits a lot of metal acts because of their changing, slow-mid paced tempo combined with intricate melodies and complex songwritings. I definitely lean towads that kind of pensive state inducing metal

Undeniable regal divinity

really activates your almonds

Truly makes you witness god

I feel like intricate and complex is super generous. Some decent syncopation happens in their music from time to time but that's pretty much it.

'thinking man's metal'

if the man in question is thinking about dudes in Party City capes serenading him with butt rock vocals all day over reggaeton beats and djent licks then yeah I can see it

tbh this isn't THAT bad but its definitely not for me at all

Damn how did you find Vessels side project?

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Sleep Token.
