If you’re lucky enough to have never heard a Sleep Token song before, allow me to give you some context: They’re an anonymous British band who, by blending unexceptional metalcore with lots of nauseating soulful-white-boy vibrato, have become one of the most popular and defining heavy bands of the 2020s. They just put out their fourth full-length offering — that’s what they call their own records! — titled Even In Arcadia, and regular Stereogum contributor Eli Enis wrote such a scathing pan of it that I had to listen for myself just to see if it was really that bad. Eli’s right. It’s really that bad. And yet, Even In Arcadia is currently the #1 album in America.
