睡眠代幣的藝術性在神秘主義的光環上籠罩著，長期以來一直張貼或猜測。

該組織的隱蔽身份受到了讚美和批評。自然，人們是好奇的生物，這麼久以來，可以看到面具下面的東西。

Shrouded by an aura of mysticism, Sleep Token’s artistry extends long past any fanfare or speculation. The group’s concealed identities have received both praise and criticism. Naturally, people are curious creatures, so many long to see what lies underneath the masks. However, Sleep Token’s creative daringness surpasses any conspiracy theories by far, not because of the spectacle that accompanies secrecy, but because of efforts to defy genre and expectations. Their highly anticipated new record, Even In Arcadia, sees Sleep Token at their most evolved creatively and emotionally.

睡眠代幣的藝術性籠罩著神秘主義的光環，長期以來一直張貼或猜測。該組織的隱蔽身份受到了讚美和批評。自然，人們是好奇的生物，這麼久以來，可以看到面具下面的東西。然而，迄今為止，睡眠代幣的創造性大膽超過了任何陰謀論，這並不是因為伴隨保密的奇觀，而是因為努力抗拒流派和期望。他們備受期待的新唱片，即使在阿卡迪亞，也可以在創造性和情感上看到他們最不斷發展的睡眠代幣。

Most impressively, Sleep Token’s fanbase accurately guessed the record’s track listing on Reddit. Though they couldn’t have been prepared for the tsunami wave of emotions that hit from the breakdown in “Look To Windward,” a precursor for the rest of the album. Ironically, most of the LP’s themes deal with Vessel’s identity struggles, whether beyond the mask or otherwise. His internal struggles run deeply, seemingly overtaking much of his mental space. The album intro says, “I used to know myself,” and that someone else “used to know me well.” His newfound fame has made it nearly impossible to maintain meaningful personal connections. At times, he can hardly connect with himself.

最令人印象深刻的是，Sleep Stoken的粉絲群準確地猜到了Reddit上唱片的曲目列表。儘管他們不可能為海嘯的情感浪潮做好準備，這些情感浪潮是從“到迎風”中的崩潰中擊中的，這是專輯其餘部分的前身。具有諷刺意味的是，大多數LP主題都涉及船隻的身份鬥爭，無論是超越面具還是其他方式。他的內部鬥爭深深地奔跑，似乎超過了他的大部分心理空間。專輯介紹說：“我曾經認識自己”，其他人“曾經對我很了解”。他的新成名使幾乎不可能保持有意義的個人聯繫。有時，他幾乎無法與自己聯繫。

Many artists have broken the fourth wall, articulating the daily struggles that come with living as a public figure. However, the irony lies within Sleep Token’s anonymity. Sure, audiences have since uncovered the truth behind who Vessel is … but they still do not know who Vessel is. Sleep Token double down on the idea that parasocial relationships exist between artists and fans regardless of the presence of a mask or not. The LP details further the inner turmoil not just with his identity struggles but also with his internal morality. The facade Vessel must uphold to pursue endeavors as Sleep Token presents itself as a heavy burden to bear. Each track unveils new layers of his struggles, pride, and personal choices.

許多藝術家打破了第四堵牆，表達了作為公眾人物生活的日常鬥爭。但是，具有諷刺意味的是在“睡眠”代幣的匿名性中。當然，自那以後，觀眾發現了誰是船隻的真相……但是他們仍然不知道誰是船隻。睡眠代幣雙重觀念，即藝術家和歌迷之間存在副社會關係，無論面具是否存在。 LP不僅以他的身份鬥爭，而且還與他的內部道德”進一步詳細介紹了內在動盪。當睡眠代幣表現出沉重的負擔時，立面船必須堅持努力。每個曲目都揭示了他的鬥爭，驕傲和個人選擇的新層次。

This record stands tall as one of the most sonically interesting out right now. A long-time friend of mine is a Sleep Token aficionado, and I believe I’ve finally seen the light. We initially met in the Fall Out Boy fandom—before the stans roll their eyes, please hear me out. I implore you to bear with me on this. The group shares many similarities, and I can see where she would feel the pull towards them coming from point A. Sleep Token’s contemporaries have been writing about struggles with public perception, morality, and the concept of the self since 2005. Moreover, they also genre-bend the way Sleep Token does. Arguably, Sleep Token takes it five steps further, unbothered by the potential backlash of treading too far off the beaten path.

這張唱片是目前最有趣的最有趣的唱片之一。我的一個長期朋友是一個睡眠的象徵愛好者，我相信我終於看到了光明。最初，我們在秋天的男孩狂熱者中見面 - 在Stans翻了個白眼之前，請聽到我的聲音。我懇請你對此忍受。該小組分享了許多相似之處，我可以看到她會在A. Sleep Token的同時代人寫的關於公眾感知，道德和自2005年以來的自我概念的鬥爭中，他們會在哪裡感到向他們的吸引力。可以說，睡眠代幣將其進一步走了五個步驟，這不受距人口太遠的踩踏的潛在反彈。

The result of their creative choices is certainly worth any negative reviews (not from me, stay safe though). Their articulate balance between R&B, hardcore, and something new entirely is mind-boggling and evokes a feeling I hadn’t experienced since I was a teenager. Admittedly, I had a hard time telling my aforementioned friend what my favorite songs from the LP were because they don’t sound like anything that’s in the mainstream today, or ever. Even In Arcadia is Sleep Token’s strongest work to date. They have found unbreakable group synergy, which has transmuted into a coherent full-length LP. I would be more surprised if Even In Arcadia is not nominated for any major awards—though the rock categories for all of them remain un-televised …

他們的創造性選擇的結果肯定值得任何負面評論（雖然我要保持安全）。他們在R＆B，鐵桿和完全新事物之間的表達平衡是令人難以置信的，並喚起了我十幾歲以來我從未經歷過的感覺。誠然，我很難告訴我上述朋友我最喜歡的LP歌曲是因為它們聽起來不像今天或以往任何時候都在主流中。即使在Arcadia，也是迄今為止，Sleep Token最強大的工作。他們發現了牢不可破的組協同作用，該組已轉換為連貫的全長LP。即使在阿卡迪亞沒有提名任何重大獎項的提名，我也會感到驚訝 - 儘管所有這些搖滾類別仍然沒有涉及……

To answer my friend’s question, “Dangerous” has consistently stuck as my favorite track in Even In Arcadia. To me, it is the most sonically stunning of all the arrangements, upholding that signature balance of genre-bending and left turns that Sleep Token is known for. Lyrically, the track tugs at my heartstrings; that chorus had me staring at my ceiling for a hot second. Moreover, Vessel’s voice has grown on me with time. Other artists, like Magnolia Park, have similarly integrated R&B vocals into heavier music. However, there’s a smoothness to Vessel that his contemporaries mask with rugged angst. There’s a place for all of that, but Sleep Token’s is ooey gooey, satisfying to the soul.

為了回答我朋友的問題，即使在阿卡迪亞，“危險”也一直堅持為我最喜歡的曲目。對我來說，這是所有安排中最令人驚嘆的，它堅持了彎曲和左轉的標誌性平衡，而睡眠代幣則是眾所周知的。從抒情上講，軌道拖著我的心弦。那個合唱讓我凝視著天花板很熱。而且，隨著時間的流逝，船隻的聲音在我身上增長。其他藝術家，例如木蘭公園，也將R＆B人聲融入了較重的音樂中。但是，他的同時代人用堅固的焦慮掩蓋了船隻。所有這些地方都有一個地方，但是睡眠代幣的是Ooey Gooey，對靈魂感到滿意。

I encourage skeptics and fans alike to think deeply as they listen to Even In Arcadia for the first time. By my fifth listen, I assumed falsely that I had unpacked each layer and examined every crevice. I was sorely mistaken; there is something new to unpack every time you tune in. From the strong lead single Caramel to the full album rollout, Sleep Token have absolutely outdone themselves with Even In Arcadia.

我鼓勵懷疑論者和粉絲都在第一次在阿卡迪亞聆聽時深入思考。在我的第五次聆聽時，我錯誤地認為我已經解開了每一層並檢查了每個縫隙。我很誤會。每次收看時，都有新的東西可以解開。
