Teaser fatigue?

Folks seem very unhappy that another teaser was released this morning. I came here to post this and then get murdered for it, but here goes.

I am more than happy to delay my gratification for the product these guys put out. Everything they do seems to be for a reason so I’m going to assume that applies to the teasers and edging clinic they’re putting on right now. I’m an old school Tool fan converted to a fully fledged Worshipper. You wanna what it’s like to be teased? Go wait a decade for an album from Tool. Go get teased for a new album that turns out to just be some sort of stupid merch to try and fill the bands coffers while they deliberate on nuances of an album. I didn’t, but go spend $4k for a special 2 day concert on the sand in Mexico only for them to play the same setlist both nights. Sleep Token? No. They’re going to announce a full tour AND an album AND release a single AND tell you more are coming. We’re very lucky.

All I’m saying is this: we haven’t waited long at all for another album. We have an ACTUAL date in sight. These dudes worked their asses off to make Even in Arcadia so I’m willing to let them play with their food a little bit. Enjoy the show and enjoy the ride. This won’t happen many other times. We all know the patience is worth it with Sleep Token. They’re special.

Let the downvotes rain down on me.

Edit: spelling derps. Also to post thanks to everyone who is level headed. A little hope restored in humanity.
