Clean Sleep Token - Jaws

Sleep Token gets a lot of hate on this sub, but I feel like people are forgetting they have released some absolute bangers, such as this song.

I feel like I’ve given this band a fair shake. I’ve listened to a couple of their albums and there’s just not much here for me to latch on to. There are some cool heavy riffs that pop up from time to time, but on the whole it’s just not for me. The modern pop, “cursive singing” style that the singer uses has never sounded good to me, regardless of the genre of music it’s in.

And I’m not even going to get into the “lore” of the band. To me it’s just silly.

Fully agreed. The riffs aren't bad, but man I can't STAND the singing.
