睡眠令牌 - 即使在Arcadia专辑评论中

实际发生了什么？资本的上升很快就会缩小，但是我们为什么已经在这里呢？

This article from Metal Injection provides a summary of Even In Arcadia album.

金属注入的这篇文章甚至在Arcadia专辑中提供了摘要。

According to the article, Sleep Token's new album, Even In Arcadia, is a sprawling and ambitious work that sees the band venturing into new sonic territory. The album is also notable for its lack of urgency, which is perhaps fitting given the band's patient rise to fame.

根据这篇文章，Sleep代币的新专辑即使在Arcadia，也是一部庞大而雄心勃勃的作品，使乐队冒险进入新的Sonic领土。这张专辑也因缺乏紧迫感而闻名，鉴于乐队的耐心升高，这也许很合适。

Even In Arcadia is the third album by Sleep Token. The band's previous two albums, Northern Sunlight and Countertopology, were released in 2019 and 2020, respectively. The band has also released three EPs: The Chain, Sugar and Sleep Token.

即使在Arcadia，也是Sleep noken的第三张专辑。乐队的前两张专辑分别于2019年和2020年发行。乐队还发布了三个EP：链，糖和睡眠代币。

Sleep Token are an English metal band who have been slowly but surely building a devoted following. The band's music is a unique blend of metal, electronic, pop and experimental music.

睡眠代币是一支英国金属乐队，他们一直在缓慢但肯定会建立一个虔诚的追随者。乐队的音乐是金属，电子，流行音乐和实验音乐的独特融合。

The band's patient approach has paid off. In the US, three of Even In Arcadia's pre-release singles charted on the Hot 100. In the UK, meanwhile, Even In Arcadia has become the band's first album to reach the top 40.

乐队的耐心方法已经获得了回报。在美国，即使在阿卡迪亚的预发行前单曲中，有三个在Hot 100上都绘制了。与此同时，在英国，即使在Arcadia，也已成为乐队的第一张专辑，进入前40名。

As hype beasts and outlets continue to bend over backwards at any mention of Sleep Token, lauding every breath taken as some evolution of the artform, it’s honestly just tiring to watch.

当炒作野兽和插座在任何提到睡眠代币时​​继续向后弯曲，称赞每一次呼吸是艺术形式的演变，老实说，这只是累人的观看。

As a result of this, Sleep Token have boomeranged round from a potentially cool alt-crossover act to the epitome of corporate rock not that far beneath Linkin Park. ‘Organic’ groundswell doesn’t look like this, nor does it feel like Even In Arcadia with how many hands are blatantly in the pot. You can practically hear the barks of besuited overlords ringing all the way through, mandating a mainstream feel without dropping a vestige of the initial labyrinthine, heavier appeal, and imploring the added genre beats are highlighted for good measure. In the lineage of Sleep Token releases, this mightn’t have its ‘built by committee’ vibes scream out, but they’re unquestionably, chronically there.

因此，睡眠代币从潜在的酷炫的Alt-Crossover法案到林肯公园（Linkin Park）不远的企业岩石的缩影中繁荣起来。 “有机的”地盘看起来并不像这样，即使在阿卡迪亚，锅中有多少只手。您几乎可以听到一路响起的霸王的树皮，要求主流感觉，而不会放弃最初迷宫的遗迹，更重的吸引力，并恳求额外的类型节拍是很好的。在“睡眠代币”版本的谱系中，这可能不会让它的“由委员会建造”的氛围尖叫，但毫无疑问，它们是长期的。

If you’re a metal fan—as in, someone who listens to metal on a regular basis, with even some variety to your range if you’re feeling spicy—it’s totally inconceivable that Sleep Token could be your ‘favourite band’. It’s everything you’d want a metal album not to be—cold and clinical, in part out of a dormant tech-metal background, but mostly due to a complete lack of human impulse or intensity.

如果您是金属风扇 - 就像是定期聆听金属的人，如果您感到辣，甚至可以将您的范围有所不同 - 完全不可想象的是，睡眠代币可能是您的“最喜欢的乐队”。这是您想要一张金属专辑的一切 - 冰箱和临床，部分原因是在休眠的技术背景中，但主要是由于完全缺乏人类的冲动或强度。

There’s an added dearth of meaningful progression to contend with, as it groans and gallumphs from one set piece to the next. And in true Sleep Token fashion, there’s not a lick of urgency or fluidity to this. You’d hope that’d be a granted concession if they insist on making hour-long albums, instead of allowing Even In Arcadia to feel every one of its laborious minutes.

从一组到下一块的gro吟着，还有一个有意义的进步局面。以真正的睡眠代币方式，对此没有紧迫或流动性的舔。您希望如果他们坚持制作长时间的专辑，而不是在Arcadia感到每一刻都在努力，那将是一个理所当然的让步。

If anything, it’s the use of metal on this album that finds Sleep Token’s creative strides at their most lacking. Rare is it that a transition to real heaviness won’t feel shockingly graceless, like laying down an immobile slab of sound that further drags an album that’s already far from spry. Sure, it’s produced to sound like a complete monolith, and deepening the swerve to land in black-metal on Caramel and Infinite Baths is more daring than expected, but it’s hard to feel all that amazed by this. All it does is propagate Sleep Token’s thudding non-pace; it doesn’t justify it.

如果有的话，这张专辑中的金属的用法发现Sleep notken的创造力最大。罕见的是，过渡到真正的沉重感不会让人感到震惊，就像放下一张不动的声音，进一步拖累了已经远离Spry的专辑。当然，它听起来像是一个完整的巨石，并加深了在焦糖和无限浴缸上降落在黑金上的转弯，这比预期的要大胆，但是很难对此感到惊讶。它所做的就是传播smaled smotken的非节奏。它不能证明它是合理的。

That’s not to say the rest of this instrumentation is off the hook, though. Somehow, an already ungratifying business model has only become more so on Even In Arcadia, as it’s hard to think of another recent album that grows more draining and tiresome with each subsequent spin. Pianos slosh about; simplistic trap beats rattle along with little import; a haze of production smothers it all and draws out anything colourful or textured; it’s nothing engaging.

不过，这并不是说这种乐器的其余部分都脱颖而出。不知何故，即使在Arcadia，已经令人不快的商业模式也变得更加越来越繁荣，因为很难想到另一张最近的专辑，随后每次旋转时，它会变得越来越疲惫和累人。钢琴Slosh;简单的陷阱击败了嘎嘎声，几乎没有进口；生产的雾雾都窒息了，并吸引了任何五颜六色或纹理的东西；没什么吸引力。

But what might be worse is how little a sense of direction factors into Even In Arcadia. For what’s presumably meant as tentpole epic, a disproportionate amount of time is spent meandering into the ether. It doesn’t help that Sleep Token are fond of eschewing more traditional song structures, so as they stretch themselves even further on Look To Windward, Infinite Baths and the title track—y’know, the start, end and centrepiece of the album; nothing important—they feel borderline out of their depth.

但是，更糟糕的是，即使在阿卡迪亚，方向感因素也很少。对于可能是Tentpole Epic的含义，花费了不成比例的时间来蜿蜒进入以太。睡眠代币喜欢避开更多传统的歌曲结构，因此，当它们在迎接迎风，无限的浴场和标题曲目上，您知道，这是专辑的开始，结束和核心，这无济于事；没什么重要的 - 他们感到偏离他们的深度。

That’s the kind of heretical claim that the Sleep Token conclave absolutely despise hearing, but what’s the argument against it? Even In Arcadia does frequently sound enormous, that’s true, but it’s not enormous in a purposeful way, just one that’s big and empty. What’s more, when Sleep Token’s whole approach is founded on this clunk

这就是一个异端的说法，即“睡眠代币”绝对鄙视听证会，但是反对它的论点是什么？即使在阿卡迪亚（Arcadia）中，这也经常听起来很大，但这是事实，但这并不是有目的的方式，只是一个大而空的。更重要的是，当睡眠令牌的整个方法建立在这个笨拙的地方时
