Just was dreaming with my ex and I coming back together, then woke up at 3 a.m and just started thinking about this song, maaaan, sleep token have great lyrics

[@matelanczi9342]

"Are you really okay" is like a good friend or parent genuinely caring about how you feel and you should stop pretending and just let it out. It's so beautiful!

"It's 50 shades of grey with masks and breakdowns" Easily one of the funniest and best lines in a KZbin review EVER! I didn't think Sleep Token would be my thing, but I freaking love them now. So many cool elements. Binge-worthy for sure.

[@aclanara]

"are you really okay?" is by far my favorite song on the album, i understand people don't putting it on their top ones but it just hit me like a train. first time i heard vessel singing "please don't hurt yourself again" i cried for like 10 minutes straight and put the song on repeat and literally listened to it a hundred more times. it's just so beautiful and touches me on a personal level. love this song very much. probably my favorite of them tbh, along with blood sport (i think you can tell the type of music i prefer lol)

[@rob3040]

I love that this song comes after a super heavy track. It’s so jarring…which is exactly what it should be. We should never be sensitized to a human being suffering so much that their best recourse is to end their own lives and rob themselves of possibility.

As a metal fan but also a massive stoner rock lover, the comments on long song lengths made me laugh. I'm oddly normalized to 10+ minute songs and actually feel normal music is too short now. This album is a wonderful mix of everything that brings many groups together!

Been listening to Sleep Token for a few years right now, when they weren't even in half as popular as they are now. And I loved them so much. Now, they became so popular and I reeeally don't wanna be that guy, but sometimes I miss the time when they were "my own little secret". Now if you say you listen to Sleep Token it doesn't impress anyone cause everyone knows them. And of course it's nothing bad with this, I'm really happy they get the recognition they deserved and will continue to support them in the future. But Sleep Token are a special band, covered with mistery and some kind of sanctum around their lore and personalities, and I'm just worried that the new massive fandom will destroy it. Because people like to uncover everything. Let's all hope the band won't lose anything due to these reasons and keep being as awesome as they always were ❤

[@Its_Revan]

Are You Really Ok? Is one of my favourites on the album. I have a bad history and ongoing problem with self harm and it makes me cry every time I listen to it honestly. Such a beautiful song

[@retrocobra2744]

You know being confused as fuck with what Vore is about until Are You Really Okay is listen too really connects the dots.

[@tylercraig5633]

I was completely blindsided by this album in the best way possible! The vocals are absolutely amazing, looooove the riffs and the heaviness overall but provides an EXCELLENT balance of the softer parts while not overdoing it on either side, FANTASTIC production too. Solid 9/10. Easily my Metal AOTY for me right now

[@Naughtylius]

About "Are you really okay". I think this track is absolute masterpiece and deserves more recognition. This is an actuall ballad on a heavy album, something that is so rare these days. Not overcomplicated tearjeker, but just a piece of simple music with lyrics and climate that just sting right into the heart. Its also genius to put this between really heavy songs, so there is some kind of harmony and balance in this album, that makes it even more pleasent to listen as a whole. Like someone thought "hey, lets put this simple, soothing track right here, but make it dark enough so the tension of whole album will not stay behind". Amazing, just amazing...

[@paulmowers2071]

It’s got so much jazz and blues in it. And the vocals are phenomenal using a bass voice that transitions to falsetto effortlessly. Transitioning from chest to hear voice it’s just is flawless.

[@TheScaredHorrorGamer]

Take Me Back To Eden was my first full exposure to Sleep Token in terms of albums, and I was not disappointed. I've listened to the album multiple times since release, and it's been such a beautiful experience since first listen. My first actual exposure to ST was the Chokehold single, and I really think it was the best band exposure I've ever experienced in my life so far, and I'm looking forward to future Sleep Token projects while looking back to their previous releases, especially their last two in the trilogy. Also, Nik, I love your shit, dude, funny af.

[@LotoTheHero]

So, I went and gave this entire album a listen. Never heard of them before. Oh My God. I wasn't really sure what to expect. The clips in this video don't do them justice. You can explain this band to someone, but you have to listen to understand what they really are. This is the most interesting band I've discovered in a really long time. Thanks for putting them out there. Other than saying I love the music and they are incredible I really don't know what else to say. I'm completely blown away, and I'd guess this is many peoples response to hearing them for the first time. Really really love "Are you really ok?". There are other songs that are musically more interesting on that album, but that one really resonated with me.

[@danielsalazar300]

I have to agree apparition and maybe chokehold are my 2 favorites. They are the perfect blends of what they were experimenting with but the core of the songs being on different sides of the spectrums really fun album to listen too and hopefully they only get better from here

As someone who has been going through tough times lately, Are You Really Okay has been my favourite track of the album. I really, really loved the album a lot. They really outdid themselves with this album. One thing I would say is that they should’ve kept Vore, Aqua Regia, and Chokehold to be released with the album, and not earlier, as they released like half of the album before the release date…

[@MichaelWilliams-tw7ft]

I can’t remember where I saw it, but I remember reading somewhere about either George Lever or Vessel saying that sleep token was going to take place in chapters. This is the closure of the first trinity in my opinion. If you look at it as well, it’s the story of a relationship; the ending of Euclid looping back into the beginning of TNDNBTG shows how a relationship cycle starts unto itself again. Idk, just my thoughts about the lore!!

[@Nurse_Sean]

Ive said this a thousand times and I'll say it again, a 11/10 album for me. I haven't experienced a musical journey like I have with this album. I can't say I've ever heard a band blend generes like this in a song let alone an album as flawlessly like this. The emotions and story telling is insane. I love EVERY song on this album, and Are You Really Ok? just destroys me. TMBTE floored me, Euclid made me emotional, introspective and hopeful truly giving a new perspective on their whole sonic journey. I could go on and on. I truly found it ground breaking and I feel will set the tone for metal core in the future. It reminded me of when I heard the green day American idiot album for the first time, never heard 7 or 8 min songs that were ballads that was so pivotal in the rock scene.

Been a fan of ST since the Sundowning era of 2019. I got to say, I think this is their most consistent and highest quality work to date. I know they’re not everyone’s cup of tea, but coming from someone who listens to a variety of metal sub genres, it genuinely feels like they’re pushing the metal genre forward into the 2020s.

[@HellRazor1281]

I love your analysis of the album overall and the commentary on the potential impact it’s going to have regarding genre fusion and possibly bridging the gaps between the endless subdivisions of metal music. It’s absolutely insane and brilliant that it’s essentially all being done in anonymity with the Stranger Things meets American Horror Story/Slipknot hybrid of the identity of Vessel and the band. Absolutely got Led Zepp vibes from Are You Really Okay? Spot on.

This is one of the best album reviews I have ever heard. Or read. Thank you, Nik.

[@kmfnj]

2:54 - Man, I get what you're saying about the musicality, but honestly "Are You Really Okay" is probably my favorite track because of the subject matter and how well the lyrics deal with it. I've been on both sides of depression and SI/SH, and man, this track floors me every time with how well it captures feelings of helplessness, frustration and worry for someone but also hope that they can pull through. I feel like it's intentionally "less innovative" so the message in the music can have the spotlight.

[@connormccrea9887]

Every time I see long songs from an artist I love I get very happy because I hear them for longer

[@tacticaltoaster5777]

I was moving out of my dorm for the summer the day the album dropped so I listened to the whole thing on my drive home (about two and a half hours so I had plenty of time). About a quarter of the way through Are You Really Okay I broke down crying. It's such a simple song but so gut wrenching when it hits close to home, and it did for me. The whole album was emotional and I'm glad to have listened to it. Rain is probably one of my favorites rn from the album songs, followed by Vore and The Summoning from the singles. Ascensionism and TMBTE are both so good too when I got time to listen to them full.

[@PCamron90]

AOTY easy. I am absolutely obsessed with this album right now, as well as this band. I knew I was going to love this album when it finally got released based on the singles, but I did not expect it to become one of my favorite albums ever, period. Every single track is great. Dissecting the entire tracklist has only grown my affection towards it more and more and more. The production is immaculate, the vocals are delivered with such emotive intent, the R&B sections are silky smooth, the metalcore breakdowns are spine-crushing and face-melting, the softer parts are gorgeous, and the lyrics... my God, I can't even pick which ones are my favorites, they're all so poetic. There is a deeper, darker theme to this album that I don't want to speculate too much on, but to say they've outdone the rest of their material so far is an understatement. I adore this record. It is the sexiest thing I have heard in a while. My favorite tracks, if I had to narrow it down, are The Summoning, Ascensionism, Take Me Back to Eden, and Granite. Worship.

Been listening to it for about 24 hours. This sums it up perfectly.

8:17 There's already Chris Daughtry who did a cover of Chokehold during a concert.

I’ve never had more of an epiphany listening to an album… I went in having only listened to the summoning so expecting a metal album and getting a plethora of genres (some of which being completely opposite) was very surprising and a very awesome experience

"Are You Really Okay" made me teary eyed in a way no song has since Snuff by Slipknot.

The apparition. This is the sleeper banger of the entire album. Thank you for showing it love.

As a person who loves and listens to all genres of music, Sleep Token was such a breath of fresh air when I discovered them in 2019. Seeing them rise in popularity this year was such an experience! Really like this review of the album, very spot on!🤘 They are definitely changing the rules of music genres.

The best way I can describe the album is a love letter to the band and their fans with references of past work, and also a great introduction album for new worshipers

[@chengsaechao6586]

As a lover of almost all genres of music I am glad to see a band be able to combine so many styles and be praised for it.

[@spooktoken]
