No idea what the forum consensus is on Sleep Token, don’t seem a particularly DiStastic band, but your own ratings for this album?

I kinda don’t want to listen because of this…

The band begins every Instagram caption with “behold,” refers to its singles as “offerings,” and calls live shows “rituals.”

Don’t mind this - more bands should do world-building and lore.

tbf loads of bands that people actually like do this shit as well, wearing antlers on their heads doing some kind of fake folk music “rituals” zZzZz

I suppose if your music is as shit as theirs supposedly is, you need the accoutrements to distract people with

Not many bands that have an obvious Meshuggah influence are very good.

Havent heard this one but I listened to the previous one a bit and laughed my heid off when I realised they were Gen Z Tool

Sleep Token’s first ep is really good.

Indie points please.

DiS loves it 0.2 more than P4k.

Very amused, if thinking it’s slightly childish, how even here they’re carrying on their beef with Benson Boone

I’d listened to them a bit before out of curiosity and thought it was bad, but this is even worse from a flick through.

You know how someone like Ed Sheeran appropriates already naff pop sounds from like 10 years ago and makes them more palatable for suburban mums? Well it’s that but with djent guitars underneath it.

“djentrified for mass consumption”

Hehehe

Proper “am I out of touch? No the kids are wrong” moment with this band. Apparently they’re massive but, despite liking lots of UK metal, I’d literally never heard of them before.

His zingers aren’t quite as good, but I picked out ‘metal for Disney adults’ and ‘like getting pissed on and told that it’s raining’.

They’re massive on tiktok and the likes, fucking sold out Wembley Arena a year or two ago and played despite the fact the singer had lost his voice and they largely played instrumental and then an argument broke out with their fans over if they were trolling or not

Lolllllll the fucking state.
