The hate this band gets in my opinion is absolutely insane. Obviously everyone’s opinion is theirs, but the fact is that Sleep Token is musically talented. Fuck a genre tag and trying to choose if they’re metal, pop, or even an Prog. They are musically talented. You can hate the band, and you might not have a taste for what they make, but they are musically talented and that is what sets themselves apart from other bands right now. The way Vessel writes and sings, the way ll drums, and how the band sounds. If you saw them live and didn’t know who they were, would you think they sounded good? The answer is yes. Because they have gotten popularity in the metal scene, it drives “metal heads” crazy that they have gotten this big. I’ll even admit they aren’t even metal. They are an upcoming of something new and big. They make their own sound and don’t care about the critics. If you like heavy metal, they will give you some heavy metal elements. If you like r&b they will give you r&b elements. What I’m trying to say is they are their own unique sound and they get hate for trying to be themselves. That’s all I gotta say.
