"Dangerous" is a song by anonymous English rock band Sleep Token from their fourth studio album Even in Arcadia (2025).
Susan Hansen of Clash wrote "Suitably, starting in a state of introversion, the electronic ballad-esque 'Dangerous' offers a quietude prior to storm vitality that engages". [1] Reviewing Even in Arcadia for Pitchfork , Eli Enis commented that the album's "fleetingly pleasurable moments arrive when Vessel sings mournfully over stormy guitars and pummeling rock drums", mentioning the "explosion" in "Dangerous" as an example. [2] In a ranking of the album's songs, Mackenzie Cummings-Grady of Billboard placed "Dangerous" at number 10 (last place), stating "While Sleep Token's use of trap and dubstep here is admirable, 'Dangerous' just doesn't rattle my insides the same way other songs do. Even in Arcadia is filled with moments that are truly suffocating, where the guitars are so heavy, and the screams are so dense, that it envelopes everything around me. When that's the bar, a dubby bass hit just packs less of a punch. 'Dangerous' at times feels crowded, with Vessel's voice drowned out by the mash of guitars and beats and backing vocals that perforate the song". [3]
