Think of this (and the previous two albums) as a Broadway show. Sundowning: Act 1 - we’re introduced to Vessel and Sleep. Sleep is “wooing” vessel to spend eternity in this world he/she has created specifically for Vessel. TPWBYT: Act 2 - Vessel has accepted to stay with Sleep, and journeys through the various possibilities for his eternity with Sleep Take me Back To Eden: Act 3 - Vessel sees a “door” for one option that is guarded (The Summoning), and has to convince Sleep to let him see it. Sleep says he cannot see in, unless this is for sure the option he chooses… so he does. What follows is (at first) a world full of love and warmth with a woman who seems familiar, but he grows very attached to. As the album progresses, Vessel gets flashes of who he once was, and begins having to face these demons that he had in real life, all while chasing this woman who feels familiar. It turns at “Are you really Ok.” He recognizes the woman from his real life relationship, watches her self-harm, and can’t fix her, despite an incredible love for her and wanting to. The apparition is her ghost after ultimately succumbing to her own self-harm. We start to learn that Vessel is a normal man, and he went through a traumatic event with the woman he loved. It was toxic, and she needed help (likely mental health concerns), and when she died, he spiraled, and created this world of Sleep and Vessel to fill the void that was now missing. TMBTE the track is him finally deconstructing what’s happening and tearing down Vessel, Sleep, the whole thing. Euclid is a rebirth. A re-awake ing from this depressive funk he has been in, after her death, and finally making peace, and moving on. A new version of himself. That’s my take anyway.

You are spot on. The chaotic mix of genres are representing the chaotic mix of thoughts and emotions a human brain goes through in the process of forging relationships. I believe that this album was Vessel getting over a relationship that caused pain. That pain may have initially started by the other person but ultimately he realized the pain was from himself to himself. The interesting thing is that it concludes with him rising above only to start the familiar refrain from the Sundowning album which makes me think the cycle is starting over. Even he understands that it is much harder fight to maintain that growth as a person.

Easily my most anticipated album of the year, this was the big one and it didn’t disappoint in anyway. The six songs they released are all very strong especially Vore, Chokehold, Granite and The Summoning but in my opinion they’re not even the best songs on the album as the six unreleased ones are just next level Sleep Token. I love them all but my top three are Probably the last three Rain, Take Me Back to Eden and Euclid but then Ascensionism, Are You Really Ok? and The Apparition are fantastic as well, I’ve heard this album 8 times now and can honestly say that I haven’t skipped one song. This is without a doubt my album of the year and a masterpiece. I agree with you about what TMBTE is about and the rest of the trilogy(you need to listen to Sundowning and This Place Will Become Your Tomb)Vessel recovering from a traumatic relationship but I feel that the girl was self harming(Are You Really Ok?) and eventually committed suicide leaving Vessel all alone lost in depression. I believe that he found peace when he was asleep so began to think about it as the ancient deity Sleep and in his way begun to worship it, in this album Vessel is finally getting his life back together, able to fight through the depression and ascend to a state where he can feel positive about himself and as a result become someone new. This is of course my opinion, I could be wrong but I feel that Sleep Tokens music is open to interpretation. Worship

There are many callbacks to their other previous songs in this album and specifically in euclid, which is showing that it marks the end of the trilogy of their 3 albums. The line "This night belongs to you," in euclid is referencing their first song called This Night Does Not Belong To God on their first album Sundowning and the whole verse beginning with "the whites of your eyes," is the 2nd verse of that song. Also, "This bough has broken through" is a callback to one of their first songs from their first EP titled 'One'. These are just a few of the references/callbacks in this album, and it's really quite fascinating how many there are.

Resonated CONSIDERABLY more listening as a whole album and I feel like the more you listen the more taxed you can feel emotionally and those songs only grow on you as you re-listen because of it.

DYWTYLM hits for me a little better than it did for you because I actually really enjoy the slowness and lack of beats in that one compared to the rest of the album. Rain would be at least an 8 for me. The beginning just pulls me in... I think I also relate to "Just a stoic statue, fit for nobody"... and then he talks about rain as the beat comes in and the imagery makes me feel like I'm getting rained on in a beautiful way.

I can not understate Acensionism and Take Me Back To Eden...All the others I had to listen to to like...But those two from like the first few seconds I was just grasped into it I'm entrapped by soft singing that holds so much emotion so the way those two start just speaks to my soul And TMBTE was my first introduction to the band as a whole so it'll always be special to me

This album is breathtaking. I absolutely loved Euclid and got so emotional. As someone who has followed ST from the beginning, it really hit me hard hearing old songs mixed with this new album. I am so proud of them and how far they have come 🥺

You have to check out The Night Does Not Belong to God off of the first album, it makes the ending of Euclid hit so much harder

The album's vibe is summarized by these end of times: "As we watch it all end" kind of feeling. Absolutely beautiful album.

I hoped you'd do the whole album. I thought I already had my favourites but I think I've changed my mind another 4 or 5 times since the full thing dropped. There are parts of every song that are just simply magical and take me somewhere different. Sleep Token have me hook, line and sinker.

I'd say my top 5 are (in order): Chokehold, Granite, Ascensionism, The Summoning, and Take me Back to Eden So many bangers on this album though. It carries a lot of meaning and emotions that people can, in one way or another, relate to. Musically, vocally, and lyrically, this album will be one that's referenced for a while.

This whole album is just like a movie and I feel like the songs just get better and better for every time I listen to them. Also the lyrics in every song are so well thought through and I feel like they (as you said) really make you feel like your going through it/feeling the same emotions as Vessel.

I love how everyone has their favorite songs, thats what makes Sleep Token so good. A lot of people i noticed like Vore, and Chokehold a lot, but they are my least favorite tracks on the album along with Are You Really Okay. While DYWTYLM and rain are some of my favorite tracks on the entire album.

All these songs are incredible even on their own, but I honestly believe they complete this album to such a degree that it wouldn't be complete if any one song was missing. It was an amazing piece and I can't get enough. Truly beautiful

I agree with you for the most part. I would switch the score for Chokehold and The Summoning. I also would raise the score of rain to an 8.5 and lower Euclid to a 7. But overall I loved watching your reaction, or anyones first reactions to Sleep Token and Vessels Genius. Great job spreading the word.

18:37 the almost monologue-style narration landing right on that legendary piano bridge is so perfect and satisfying it’s almost like spoken word, what I like to call, “jazz rapping” where the words are usually just talking and SOMETIMES the cadence fills a pocket on the beat, usually jazz or jazz style tracks, in the back ground. Anyone know what that style is? Or what’s that called in music terms?

Their lyrics are sooo good. It is hard for me to pick a favorite from all these tracks. They are all special and they are all so so good. Ascensionism is very high up, so is Granite, the summoning and Euclid. Album of the year for me so far, and we're not half way through yet :O
