Take Me Back To Eden

Where does one even begin with Sleep Token's 'Take Me Back To Eden'? Calling it a mere album feels like calling the universe a collection of stars – a vast understatement. From the moment 'Chokehold' begins, you're not just listening to music; you're embarking on an odyssey through the cosmos of sound. Each track is a universe unto itself, with 'The Summoning' and 'The Apparition' creating a supernova of emotions, and 'Granite' and 'Aqua Regia' offering a meteor shower of melodic and rhythmic brilliance. 'Vore' and 'Ascensionism' aren’t just songs; they're musical epiphanies that make you question everything you knew about progressive metal. 'Are You Really Okay?' and 'Dywtylm' strike chords in your soul you never knew existed, while 'Rain' washes over you with a cleansing flood of sonic bliss. The title track, 'Take Me Back to Eden', isn’t just a song – it's an eight-minute-plus spiritual ascension. And 'Euclid'? It's the mathematical proof of musical perfection. This album isn’t just heard; it’s felt – in every nerve, every heartbeat. It’s like discovering a new color, a new dimension. You'll find yourself listening to it loud in quiet, dark rooms, letting the complex tapestry of sounds enfold you, transport you to realms you never imagined. In 'Take Me Back To Eden', Sleep Token hasn’t just created an album; they've crafted a new mythos, a sonic odyssey that redefines not just music, but existence itself. It's a journey through the heart of darkness into a universe of light, a journey that leaves you reborn. Forget every music review you’ve read. This album isn’t just a masterpiece; it's a cosmic event. Buy it, experience it, and let it transform you. This isn't just the best album of the last decade; it’s a new chapter in the story of music.

One of my favorite albums of all time; of course I had to have a physical copy. This CD comes in a cardboard sleeve rather than a plastic case, but it seems nice quality for what it is. Mine arrived perfectly undamaged and as described.

Top three still in ranking depending on the day. Probably their most seamless production from track to track. Follows the narrative in a linear way once you figure out the story. Musicianship and mixing goes to a higher level in this masterpiece. Top three ST albums: Sundowning Take Me Back To Eden Even In Arcadia This place will be your tomb is a super emo suicide album with a few good tracks but I widely avoid this album. Lore aside, it just doesn't have the life the others have and it's a rather boring listen imo.

Perfect album. Arrived fast and in pristine condition. Worship!

Can't stop listening!

I am in awe of the creativity, work, and ingenuity that went into writing and producing this album. The coherence of the themes makes it both a standalone masterpiece without compare and a final third album in the Sundowning/This Place Will Become Your Tomb/Take Me Back to Eden that closes with positivity, wistfulness, and wisdom. I want to start the first album as soon as the last track of Take Me Back to Eden finishes, and I often think, "I can't wait to get to one track!" only to replay the current one multiple times. We are not going to see a CD like this again -- unless Sleep Token/Vessel makes another, and in any case, I am sure that the world will continue to benefit from his endless, beautiful artistic viewpoint in whatever form it takes, even if it is just to review the corpus repeatedly.

This is by far my favorite Sleep Token album. The record arrived in a sturdy packaging and was in excellent condition. The sound quality is great for our little record player.

This album is the most transcendental experience I have....maybe ever had. It brings light to the darkness...for real. This will be a terrible review, but every now and then one's ear comes across something...by accident, oddly, that makes your heart sing. I have never heard an album like this, original, which is not a word that one can often use anymore. It starts you off in the dark, but leaves you feeling that there is still light and good in the world. There is a long list of different styles going on here: melodic metal, death metal, jazz...yeah...pop........yeah, heavy beats..........yeah, but all in all progressive metal at its best. This is the best album I have heard in the last 10-15 years, really... I hope that as you are reading this that I have helped introduce or at least reinforced some good music over the years with my reviews. I am a fan of progressive/symphonic rock (which this is) but an even bigger fan of passionate, heart felt music and lyric. If you know what I am talking about, stop reading reviews and order this album. Listen to it loud and in quiet surroundings if possible (in the dark if you can). This is something that only comes around so often...don't waste it.
