I've listened to the full discography so much I couldn't imagine rejecting or omitting anything at this point. I have some love for all of it, and every song has its place. I certainly have my favorites, but it feels like a whole continuous thing that continues to grow. Definitely a fan of this song. It's got an insidious vibe to it. Thanks for your reactions!

I'll be honest, this album took me a bit of time to warm up to. As I look back now, I can't understand why at all. Every song is right in my wheelhouse and I love all of them today. It's a total masterpiece. I've struggled to put my finger on why I didn't get off to a great start with it, but the closest I can come to explaining it is that it really is different from Sundowning. I dunno. If anyone who doesn't like this album is reading this, give it a few spins again if you've only listened to it once or twice. Another great reaction, my man!

Life has a big impact in our enjoyment of what we listen to as well! There have been plenty of times that I have gone into a first listen with a dark cloud over me and it ruined the whole experience. I later go back and love it! First impressions mean a lot but sometimes a second chance is warranted 😊

I jumped in after TMBTE came out and I listened to this immediately after Sundowning and was pretty iffy on it as well, but now I’m the same as you: “why the fuck didn’t I enjoy it immediately?!” Now this is typically my go-to ST album, and High Water is up there on my favorite songs of theirs

In 2021, when Tomb came out, I was in the tomb of my life, due to Covid and it’s aftermath. I listened once, and realized that I was not ready for the deep analysis I gave to Sundowning. When Eden singles came out I took Tomb along with the excitement of watching ST explode into the ether. For me, I love all of the art given to us via ST. I really enjoy your reactions. Carry On! 😎

I’m assuming you will do the music videos for the ones off this album! I agree with the other comment that this was not an album I went to often. Just a select few songs. And now I go to it often. TMBTE is still my favorite album because it holds a special place in my heart, but I can’t decide if I like the first or second album better. They’re pretty equal but all the songs and albums are amazing in their own way. All of sleep token songs and albums are above any music I’ve ever listened to honestly. And the more I listen, the better each song gets. It’s wild.

Im really enjoying your reactions. Youre honest opinion and raw emotion is what I like. It's been quite a ride so far. As to the identity of the band, it's out there and I've seen it. Im not outing them here, it's not my place and truly it doesn't matter. The music soeaks for itself. The anonymity adds an element to the live performances, the way the band interacts and Vessel's infamous dance. To me they are 4 guys, Vessel, II, III and IV.

On first listen to this album, I found I preferred Sundowning. Since listening to it multiple times, it has grown on me to the extent that I'd be hard pushed to pick a favourite between it and Sundowning. I think it depends on my mood as I find that TPWBYT is heavier lyrically, ie the subject matter is emotionally deeper. Great reaction as always. Stay safe 🤘 ✌️

This is my favorite album, BUT it was kind of a grower for me. After a few listens I understood the album, and it still is their best in my opinion. Eden is definitely a bigger album in every sense of the word, but it has a couple of skippable songs, at least for me.

I think i’m biased but Sundowning & Two are my favorite albums/ep lbut that’s because those are how I discovered Sleep Token, and I found them at a very different point in my life so lyrically and emotional sundowning is my #1. but sonically… TPWBYT is my favorite if that makes sense. like it’s a treat to the ears… obviously it still hits the emotions but I get jam to it a bit better lol

Its weird to say it was divisive. I think... for those of us who came in with Sundowning, and even those from the EP days, it was unexpected. Sundowning felt like it was ramping up for something more like Eden, and it fell short of that expectation. Eden kinda feels like something that capped off that expectation, both for them to blow up, and for the the sort of heavy we knew they were capable of. And thats coming from someone whose not like INTO metal. Ive had a taste here and there, but nothing that made me want to devour it the way ST has. It whet my appetite with Sundowning and then went a different direction. And the songs that are heavier or most appealing to those on the metal side on Tomb, im only now finding an appreciation for. Still not a fan of Like that, or the repetition of Hypnosis, still prefer the instrumental versions. But album wise i ended up liking the singles and poppy soft stuff the most. (Atlantic, High Water, and missing Limbs are the ones that stuck with me after i overplayed the singles). So its my least favorite album, and i very much love it. The divisiveness is just because of expectations (which i am always overall happy that ST always subvert and undermind or blow out of the water). But its just weird to call it divisive when its such a chill album when i feel like they have so much more about them that is far more divisive? Like Hey Ya and the other early covers. I suppose Tomb ends up just being the poster child for the obvious gatekeepy "but is it metal" discussion that had to be spun out again when they blew up this year and new people had to rehash it. I feel like the music needs one of those maturity warnings, but instead of that, its Vessels message from that first interview about defining genres in big black and white letters.
