睡眠代币的艺术性在神秘主义的光环上笼罩着，长期以来一直张贴或猜测。

该组织的隐蔽身份受到了赞美和批评。自然，人们是好奇的生物，这么久以来，可以看到面具下面的东西。

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.

睡眠代币的艺术性在神秘主义的光环上笼罩着，长期以来一直张贴或猜测。该组织的隐蔽身份受到了赞美和批评。自然，人们是好奇的生物，这么久以来，可以看到面具下面的东西。然而，迄今为止，睡眠代币的创造性大胆超过了任何阴谋论，这并不是因为伴随保密的奇观，而是因为努力抗拒流派和期望。他们备受期待的新唱片，即使在阿卡迪亚，也可以在创造性和情感上看到他们最不断发展的睡眠代币。

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的粉丝群准确地猜到了Reddit上唱片的曲目列表。尽管他们不可能为海啸的情感浪潮做好准备，这些情感浪潮是从“到迎风”中的崩溃中击中的，这是专辑其余部分的前身。具有讽刺意味的是，大多数LP主题都涉及船只的身份斗争，无论是超越面具还是其他方式。他的内部斗争深深地奔跑，似乎超过了他的大部分心理空间。专辑介绍说：“我曾经认识自己”，其他人“曾经对我很了解”。他的新成名使几乎不可能保持有意义的个人联系。有时，他几乎无法与自己联系。

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.

许多艺术家打破了第四堵墙，表达了作为公众人物生活的日常斗争。但是，具有讽刺意味的是在“睡眠”代币的匿名性中。当然，自那以后，观众发现了谁是船只的真相……但是他们仍然不知道谁是船只。睡眠代币双重观念，即艺术家和歌迷之间存在副社会关系，无论面具是否存在。 LP不仅以他的身份斗争，而且还与他的内部道德”进一步详细介绍了内在动荡。当睡眠代币表现出沉重的负担时，立面船必须坚持努力。每个曲目都揭示了他的斗争，骄傲和个人选择的新层次。

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.

这张唱片是目前最有趣的最有趣的唱片之一。我的一个长期朋友是一个睡眠的象征爱好者，我相信我终于看到了光明。最初，我们在秋天的男孩狂热者中见面 - 在Stans翻了个白眼之前，请听到我的声音。我恳请你对此忍受。该小组分享了许多相似之处，我可以看到她会在A. Sleep Token的同时代人写的关于公众感知，道德和自2005年以来的自我概念的斗争中，他们会在哪里感到向他们的吸引力。可以说，睡眠代币将其进一步走了五个步骤，这不受距人口太远的踩踏的潜在反弹。

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 …

他们的创造性选择的结果肯定值得任何负面评论（虽然我要保持安全）。他们在R＆B，铁杆和完全新事物之间的表达平衡是令人难以置信的，并唤起了我十几岁以来我从未经历过的感觉。诚然，我很难告诉我上述朋友我最喜欢的LP歌曲是因为它们听起来不像今天或以往任何时候都在主流中。即使在Arcadia，也是迄今为止，Sleep Token最强大的工作。他们发现了牢不可破的组协同作用，该组已转换为连贯的全长LP。即使在阿卡迪亚没有提名任何重大奖项的提名，我也会感到惊讶 - 尽管所有这些摇滚类别仍然没有涉及……

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.

为了回答我朋友的问题，即使在阿卡迪亚，“危险”也一直坚持为我最喜欢的曲目。对我来说，这是所有安排中最令人惊叹的，它坚持了弯曲和左转的标志性平衡，而睡眠代币则是众所周知的。从抒情上讲，轨道拖着我的心弦。那个合唱让我凝视着天花板很热。而且，随着时间的流逝，船只的声音在我身上增长。其他艺术家，例如木兰公园，也将R＆B人声融入了较重的音乐中。但是，他的同时代人用坚固的焦虑掩盖了船只。所有这些地方都有一个地方，但是睡眠代币的是Ooey Gooey，对灵魂感到满意。

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.

我鼓励怀疑论者和粉丝都在第一次在阿卡迪亚聆听时深入思考。在我的第五次聆听时，我错误地认为我已经解开了每一层并检查了每个缝隙。我很误会。每次收看时，都有新的东西可以解开。
