I'm on heavy rotation on Haken live songs they've released (and I've ordered the blu ray).

Anyway., from 4.50 to the end is simply amazing.



rant alert: that's what music is all about, not that giacomo turra kind of shit.
 
A few months ago my wife became OBSESSED with Sleep Token which is amusing because she hates metal. Just listening to it non stop, consuming all the socials, buying the merch, etc.

I liked the last album, it was a cool blend of really heavy modern metal with the soaring R&B inspired vocals. I mean I've been digging that kind of stuff for decades, like Sevendust and Dance Gavin Dance (very different but same concept).

But holy shit the new Sleep Token album is fucking terrible. I can't really say that to my wife, but it sounds like Imagine Dragons. It's all slow pop ballads and the stuttering R&B over a drum loop. There's maybe 2-3 songs that have guitar in it from what I can tell. I dunno I couldn't get through it.

Not sure if I'm missing something or if the band was always just an R&B pop act pretending to be metal but woof it's unlistenable to me.

That's because it is an Ed Sheeran Side Project. :crazy

I am joking, but I also might not be wrong. :LOL:

I can't do the Metal with Pop Music Production approach. It's the blending of
2 worlds that should never collide, in my opinion. I prefer my Rock more Raw
and not so Pro Tool'd and Ableton'd to Death, too.
