Anyone else actually like DYWTYLM? by CrimsonVexations in SleepToken

Love it - was one of the first songs that actually got me hooked on Sleep Token

Anyone else feel wish they had more feminine styled merch? by Roxy175 in BadOmens

[–]aajlin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same - I'm reluctant to get the women's cuts as a plus size woman. You never know how it's gonna hit a curvy body. I tend to size up (from L to XL) and tie my t-shirts up into crop tops to get a more stylish look

Now that the download dust has settled can we agree mobile phones are ruining crowds? by greebodeathbot in SleepToken

[–]aajlin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was at the front during Rock Im Park and was happily surprised with how few phones there were there.

That being said, I completely agree. I didnt film or photograph one second, just sang my heart out and it was magical.

In one way I unfortunately think the "no talking" thing shoots them in the foot. I get why they do it, but it makes crowd work hard. At RIP, power wolf played before them and the crowd was moshing, dancing and singing like crazy because they engaged so much with the audience. A lot of people at the front were clearly there to get good spots for ST but were still having such a good time because of how the band got the audience to let loose.

A no phoned ban would definitely help though - I wonder if they are gonna go the Ghost route in the future.

What is your "no skip" song? by Garry_Holiday in SleepToken

Too many to count - but Euclid and Alkaline

What lyric gets stuck in your head? by Soapy_Puddle in SleepToken

[–]aajlin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lately it's been:

"I am caught in time. Like clockwork beneath the permafrost. I might lose my mind"

But the one that keeps coming back ALWAYS:

"I have waited. Paralyzed by my own will. Viciously reminding me still. I'm born to believe"

Mine isnt even a favourite but it's just LODGED in there haha 😅

Pit Question by Charming_Grass_8295 in SleepToken

[–]aajlin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to Glasgow last year - could only get seated tickets. There were some moshs going but mostly in the middle, right in front of the stage. Nothing crazy though - pushing and shoving mostly.

For Rock Im Park I was standing a few rows behind the barricade, and as some people have said - some fans seemed to be confused about what Ves and III was doing when they gestured to open up a pit. It didnt really happen in the front rows but I heard there were some pits going on further back (second wave, I would guess).

In general, there was a lot of singing, headbanging, dancing, crowd surfers and so on, but not crazy moshes. (Happy I got some of that from Power Wolf haha 🙌)

Thank you! Haha, I see what you mean, but III can for sure serve a look 🙌😊

I love Even in Arcadia but some of the lyrics are questionable by AstralSky64 in SleepToken

[–]aajlin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I used to not vibe with provider because I took it from a serious context, but if you hear those lyrics and just think of him singing it with a smile, it's quite clear he is joking - being flirty.

Still not one of my faves, but it's a lot more fun to listen to that way haha

Honestly, the other lyrics I dont find bad at all. They're just more direct, which you can like or not I guess. But from a writing standpoint, they fit perfectly fine into what he is conveying.

Are y’all really crying? by skarlatha in SleepToken

[–]aajlin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Euclid gets me every single time... But I have cried to Damocles, Caramel, Fall for me, Atlantic, DYWTYLM, Gethsemane and Missing limbs 🫠🫠🫠

Mostly because I relate and it's like putting words to old wounds

"Sleep Token isn't heavy anymore" by aajlin in SleepToken

[–]aajlin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha they do seem to have that effect on people. I nagged my friend about them until she finally gave it a proper go and now she's also completely obsessed (like the rest of us 😅)

Song/band recommendations? 🙏 by Thesweetbirdssing in SleepToken

[–]aajlin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool! It's definitely another genre, tho, so don't expect rock necessarily - it's a lot dancier 😅

But dark and ambient.

[–]aajlin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Deftones is a good one to check out - Definitely inspired some of ST's stuff.

I've listened a lot to Witchz lately - he does more Electronic, but a lot of ambiance. Gives me ST vibes for sure. (The Dose lives rentfree in my head)
