This Place Will Become Your Tomb

Had a friend tell me he's going to the Sleep Token show and his head nearly fell off, when I told him I hadn't really listened to them... so here I am, late to the party, but man, if "The Atlantic" was the only good song on this album, it would be worth owning just for that track alone, but it's not - still my favorite song on here (and overall from Sleep Token thus far), but there is an array of interesting, and honestly more mellow than I had expected tracks, on this album. 'Take me back to Eden' perked my interest in this band and I can assure you, that this album is also worth picking up. Good music. I love the ambiance of the music and that it has feeling/emotion to it, that is strongly conveyed to the listener.

Awsome cd

Very good quality great songs undamaged

Though this has a cardboard case, it comes with an art booklet that I absolutely adore.I love the music, this plays on ps3 and Xbox 360 but will not be played through a ps5 (I tested it multiple times and ps5 does not support it). The album was sealed when I got it, I was a bit too excited about it and unwrapped it before I could get pictures. I'm so happy to have a physical copy of their music no one can take away from me.

This album is AMAZING!!

In my other two reviews, I covered the ethos and technique of Sleep Token's Sundowning-This Place Will Become Your Tomb-Take Me Back to Eden trilogy; which perhaps follows Dante's Divine Comedy Hell-Purgatory-Heaven tripartite pattern, except thematically placing heaven/sky in the first and hell/earth in the last.In this one, I am discussing the purpose of the lyrical and musical drive. Sundowning runs with the ecstatic innocence of first love, expansive as the hills, arms reaching out, soaring. The listeners are taken into a night in which we forget all that we knew by day, retreating from explicit memory into an underlying, vulnerable tenderness that is the same as life to us. Failure in offering ourselves to whom we love means something worse than death. Somewhere, eternal love exists, but we are stuck in time, inexperienced, and suffering without understanding why.By the time we reach the complex Take Me Back to Eden, we know that finding long-lasting temporal love might not be a possibility, and that our greatest setback might be our fear of accepting ourselves as we are, with insomnia of the soul. These musical prayers and day-to-day sacrifices that we thought we could use as a "sleep token" pass to get through the gates blocking our goal of overcoming suffering -- whether through finding perfect love, death, or sleep -- might actually not work. Celebrating them as intrinsically worthwhile might be the mature decision. The love always present in our own hearts might be the greatest heaven, and we wish that we could have seen that when we were in our first relationship. Now that we see that our love is powerful regardless of whether the specific relationship lasts, we are more able to provide an unconditional love to ourselves and others while fully grounding ourselves in the world around us. This Place Will Become Your Tomb bridges the gap between these two. As is even more obvious in concerts than in the album, Vessel amps the angst in the instrumentation, large sonic waves heaving like the ocean itself. As the album art indicates, the place that will be our tomb is water -- the formlessness from which all things emerge and will return. Unlike other artists' albums that focus on messy break-ups, this one consistently uplifts, like the movement of a Fibonacci sequence. A jubilant struggle to keep the relationship alive, the magnitude of the effort, the height and depth and width of the love, the physics and the medicine -- there is triumph. The death to self in which you are participating, regardless of whether you can tell it's healthy, is a solemn ritual of the universe in which you yourself, a microcosm, is participating. And that is reassuring.

Ordered it and literally got it within the next day or two I believe.

A friend introduced me to this band and I gotta say they are a great listen!!
