睡眠代币的“甚至在阿卡迪亚”有望成为杰作

在全球成功并认识到他们的突破专辑“ Take Me Back to Eden”（TMBTE）之后，Sleep代币巩固了自己的金属场景。 “ TMBTE”是我有史以来最喜欢的专辑之一，很难跟进该Calibre的专辑。

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.'

睡眠代币已成为当今金属中最受认可和最受欢迎的乐队之一。在全球成功并认可他们的突破专辑“ Take Me Back to Eden”（TMBTE）之后，乐队正在继续打破界限，并在他们的新专辑“甚至在Arcadia”上进行声音尝试。

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是我有史以来最喜欢的专辑之一，很难跟进该Caliber的专辑。当乐队在社交媒体上以通常的神秘方式宣布新音乐时，发布了一个简短的视频，其中一个单词“准备”时，我非常兴奋，并在两个星期内不停地听了他们以前的音乐。 TMBTE是我在如此深刻的水平上与之相连的一段音乐，并且一张反映了我的感受的专辑，所以我知道很难登顶。我爱上了乐队周围的神秘和阴谋，他们精心设计的面具使他们的身份成为粉丝的秘密。这与他们独特的音乐风格，不断提及“神”和他们在音乐中无法理解的众生为粉丝创造了精神体验。

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，也引入了超越音乐的独特，实验性的声音。专辑发行的第一张单曲是“出现”，这是一个典型的例子，它是从主唱船只的柔和而天使般的人声开始。这首歌很快就加快了步伐，并将重型鼓和吉他引入了几乎说唱的船只的混合，然后减慢到天堂般的声音。节奏在歌曲的不同部分以及美丽的萨克斯管独奏以结束曲目的差异和组合是为什么它是专辑中我最喜欢的。

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.

专辑“ Look to Windward”的介绍曲目是我的另一个最爱。这首歌以缓慢的合成器节拍开始，随着它逐步逐渐变成重金属并从船只尖叫时，它的速度增加。然后，这首歌再次切换样式，在下降后说起来是船尾说唱，然后进入令人惊叹的虚假人声和钢琴组合，再加上更重的鼓声。这首歌是一首情感的过山车，也是一首美丽的镶嵌，多种风格和元素被捣碎成一首。

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.

专辑中我最喜欢的曲目是标题曲目“甚至在阿卡迪亚”。首先是看来是专辑预告片中使用的钟声和自然声音的令人毛骨悚然的开口。船只在令人惊叹的灵魂音乐风格诗歌中屏住了我的呼吸。曲目再次使用钢琴，与人声和情感歌词搭配精确。最后，它引入了令人心动的小提琴和缓慢的节奏。这首歌让我想要更多。毫无疑问，这是我乐队中最喜欢的歌曲之一。

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.

专辑以轰动结束，因为闭幕曲目“无限浴室”完美地封装了乐队的独特声音。它始于简单的键盘拍子和几乎像流行的人声，并绑在一个空灵的合唱中。它的情感歌词始于鼓拾起，节奏减慢，然后再次提高步伐，导致大量崩溃。船只展示了他疯狂的声音范围，从合唱中美丽的R＆B风格的人声到鼓手II时的喉咙和raspy尖叫声，也以复杂的独奏来展示他的巨大才华，以结束这首歌。这是一张情感和美丽专辑的沉重，头顶的结局。

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.

尽管即使在Arcadia也是乐队的惊人代表，并且继续打破音乐的界限，但它仍然无法超越TMBTE。但是，这张专辑仍然是我的最爱之一，并且是完美的后续行动。这是一种需要听到的精神体验，以充分理解专辑中流动的情感和创造力的深度。可以肯定的是，睡眠代币只有开始，并且已经成为地球上最好的乐队之一。我迫不及待地想看看乐队接下来会带球迷。
