睡眠代幣的“甚至在阿卡迪亞”有望成為傑作

在全球成功並認識到他們的突破專輯“ Take Me Back to Eden”（TMBTE）之後，Sleep代幣鞏固了自己的金屬場景。 “ TMBTE”是我有史以來最喜歡的專輯之一，很難跟進該Calibre的專輯。

Sleep Token have become one of the most recognized and beloved bands in metal today. After the worldwide success and recognition of their breakout album 'Take Me Back To Eden' (TMBTE), the band is continuing to break boundaries and experiment with sound on their new album, 'Even In Arcadia.'

睡眠代幣已成為當今金屬中最受認可和最受歡迎的樂隊之一。在全球成功並認可他們的突破專輯“ Take Me Back to Eden”（TMBTE）之後，樂隊正在繼續打破界限，並在他們的新專輯“甚至在Arcadia”上進行聲音嘗試。

TMBTE is one of my favorite albums of all time, and it was going to be hard to follow-up an album of that caliber. When the band announced new music in its usual cryptic fashion on social media, posting a short video with one word "Prepare," I was so excited and listened to their previous music non-stop for two weeks. TMBTE was a piece of music I connected with on such a deep level and an album that reflected how I felt, so I knew it was going to be hard to top. I fell in love with the mystery and intrigue surrounding the band, with their intricately designed masks keeping their identities a secret from fans. This mixed with their unique style of music and the constant mention of "gods" and beings beyond comprehension in their music creates a spiritual experience for fans.

TMBTE是我有史以來最喜歡的專輯之一，很難跟進該Caliber的專輯。當樂隊在社交媒體上以通常的神秘方式宣布新音樂時，發布了一個簡短的視頻，其中一個單詞“準備”時，我非常興奮，並在兩個星期內不停地聽了他們以前的音樂。 TMBTE是我在如此深刻的水平上與之相連的一段音樂，並且一張反映了我的感受的專輯，所以我知道很難登頂。我愛上了樂隊周圍的神秘和陰謀，他們精心設計的面具使他們的身份成為粉絲的秘密。這與他們獨特的音樂風格，不斷提及“神”和他們在音樂中無法理解的眾生為粉絲創造了精神體驗。

Even In Arcadia introduces unique, experimental sounds that transcend music. "Emergence," the first single released for the album is a prime example by starting with soft and angelic vocals from lead singer Vessel. The song picks up pace quickly and introduces heavy drums and guitar into the mix of almost rapping from Vessel, then slows down to heavenly vocals. The difference and combination of the tempos in different parts of the song along with the beautiful saxophone solo to end the track are why it’s one of my favorites on the album.

即使在Arcadia中，也引入了超越音樂的獨特，實驗性的聲音。專輯發行的第一張單曲是“出現”，這是一個典型的例子，它是從主唱船隻的柔和而天使般的人聲開始。這首歌很快就加快了步伐，並將重型鼓和吉他引入了幾乎說唱的船隻的混合，然後減慢到天堂般的聲音。節奏在歌曲的不同部分以及美麗的薩克斯管獨奏以結束曲目的差異和組合是為什麼它是專輯中我最喜歡的。

The intro track to the album, "Look To Windward," is another one of my favorites. The song starts with a slow synth beat, increasing in pace as it crescendos into a drop into heavy metal and screams from Vessel. The song then switches styles again, with Vessel rapping following the drop, then goes into stunning falsetto vocals and a piano combination coupled with more heavy drums. The song is a rollercoaster of emotion and a beautiful mosaic of different styles and elements mashed into one.

專輯“ Look to Windward”的介紹曲目是我的另一個最愛。這首歌以緩慢的合成器節拍開始，隨著它逐步逐漸變成重金屬並從船隻尖叫時，它的速度增加。然後，這首歌再次切換樣式，在下降後說起來是船尾說唱，然後進入令人驚嘆的虛假人聲和鋼琴組合，再加上更重的鼓聲。這首歌是一首情感的過山車，也是一首美麗的鑲嵌，多種風格和元素被搗碎成一首。

My favorite track on the album is the title track "Even In Arcadia." It starts off with an eerie opening of what seems to be chimes and nature sounds which were used in a teaser for the album. Vessel took my breath away with stunning vocals in a stunning soul music style verse. The track again uses piano, which pairs exquisitely with the vocals and emotional lyrics. It ended with the introduction of a heart-touching violin and slow beat; the song left me wanting so much more. Without a doubt, it is now one of my favorite songs from the band.

專輯中我最喜歡的曲目是標題曲目“甚至在阿卡迪亞”。首先是看來是專輯預告片中使用的鐘聲和自然聲音的令人毛骨悚然的開口。船隻在令人驚嘆的靈魂音樂風格詩歌中屏住了我的呼吸。曲目再次使用鋼琴，與人聲和情感歌詞搭配精確。最後，它引入了令人心動的小提琴和緩慢的節奏。這首歌讓我想要更多。毫無疑問，這是我樂隊中最喜歡的歌曲之一。

The album ends with a bang, as the closing track "Infinite Baths" encapsulates the band's unique sound perfectly. It began with a simple keyboard beat and almost pop-like vocals, tying into an ethereal chorus. Its emotional lyrics start as the drums pick up and tempo slows before picking up pace again leading into a massive breakdown. Vessel shows his insane vocal range, going from beautiful R&B style vocals in the chorus to guttural and raspy screams as drummer, II, also shows off his immense talent with a complicated solo to end the song. It is a heavy, head-banging end to an emotional and beautiful album.

專輯以轟動結束，因為閉幕曲目“無限浴室”完美地封裝了樂隊的獨特聲音。它始於簡單的鍵盤拍子和幾乎像流行的人聲，並綁在一個空靈的合唱中。它的情感歌詞始於鼓拾起，節奏減慢，然後再次提高步伐，導致大量崩潰。船隻展示了他瘋狂的聲音範圍，從合唱中美麗的R＆B風格的人聲到鼓手II時的喉嚨和raspy尖叫聲，也以復雜的獨奏來展示他的巨大才華，以結束這首歌。這是一張情感和美麗專輯的沉重，頭頂的結局。

Although Even In Arcadia is an amazing representation of the band and continues to break boundaries in music, it still can’t top TMBTE. The album, however, is still one of my favorites and is a perfect follow up. It is a spiritual experience that needs to be heard to fully understand the depth of emotion and creativity that flows through the album. One thing for certain is that Sleep Token are only getting started and already cementing themselves as one of the best bands on the planet. I can’t wait to see where the band takes fans next.

儘管即使在Arcadia也是樂隊的驚人代表，並且繼續打破音樂的界限，但它仍然無法超越TMBTE。但是，這張專輯仍然是我的最愛之一，並且是完美的後續行動。這是一種需要聽到的精神體驗，以充分理解專輯中流動的情感和創造力的深度。可以肯定的是，睡眠代幣只有開始，並且已經成為地球上最好的樂隊之一。我迫不及待地想看看樂隊接下來會帶球迷。
