      This is literally the best quote ever. To me they don't belong in a genre. They just make music. In a dictionary under music you should find "Sleep Token" as a perfect description for what real music really is.

Then as I got older I started appreciating heavier music and Sleep Token just blends everything so well. There's truly something for everyone. The entire TMBTE album is a masterpiece.

    I think my favorite thing about this band is they really let every band member showcase what they can do. I feel like you can literally hear it all separately and then all together and it’s blended so well. My favorite thing is when you relisten to these songs, a different instrument sticks out. For me, I’ve been listening more to the drums lately and it’s just insane talent 😭…. If you’re a music fan in general, you should love this band 🤷🏻‍♀️ I enjoy watching your reactions to these sleep token songs!

    Half algorithm, half deity
    Glitches in the code or gaps in a strange dream
    Tell me you guessed my future and it mapped onto your fantasy
    Turn me into your mannequin and I'll turn you into my puppet queen
    Won't you come and dance in the dark with me?

    Talking about songs that I wish had longer interludes, I've got an absolute curve ball for you: two songs from Clown Core, "Toilet" and "Computers". Both songs have an absolutely insane sax solo over a synth melody and it's just amazing. I want to suggest you check either song out, but I'm not sure you'd be down with it. The reaction to it might be worth the content though because it's wild lol.
