Rain would have to easily be the next song to react to. At first rain didn't grab me but after months of listening to this album it's easily the one that gets stuck in my head the most, by a country mile.
While I like all of the songs on the album, all of them don't have the same re-listening potential. With that being said, Rain is easily a song that I can listen to over and over and over again.
The thing about the chorus is that AMV comment is so accurate because it sounds EXACTLY like a Breaking Benjamin chorus. It just hits that larger than life, wall of sound vibe that very few other bands can, that BB was known for.
YES! THIS! So many times Sleep Token reminds me of Breaking Benjamin. Not that they're copying them, but the lyrics combined with how Vessel and II craft the music evokes the same exact emotions/sensations. The progression and resolution of chords, breathtaking drops, all of it just makes my brain happy.
I love this and I love you for this. BB is what got me into modern rock and they’ve been my favorite band forever, until Sleep Token came along a few years ago.
Dude I absolutely love your Sleep Token reactions. I’ve been goofy smiling and giggling at how happy their music makes you. Keep em coming! I’d love to see you react to some of their older stuff too.
Eventually you’re gonna get to “Are You Really Okay?”, and good luck. That one HURTS. Never heard such raw emotion and pain translated so plainly into music without corruption.
Doesn't the drummer write all the percussion cause it's just him and vessel that write the music the guitarist and bassist are hired help when they perform live right ?
@@deadlikedinosaurs7211they aren’t necessarily hired but they are only for shows. what makes me think they aren’t hired is because the chemistry between all 4 on stage is unmatched to almost any band i’ve ever seen live
I've listened to this album probably a hundred times but man your energy is so contagious i felt that first trap beat drop like it was my first listen again 😂
This song would be so cool for an AMV lol as you as you said it i imagined the Ichigo vs Aizen fight scenes. Sleep token just never miss for real!!! their whole discography is a banger!! Glad to see you keep falling deeper into it!!
I told you this one is absolute fire. I am a major Sleep Token fan and The Apparition is my favorite of all. But dude you are right that they dont have trash songs Everything hits If you want some suggestions for things that show Vessel's voice I recommend Atlantic , Bloodsport, Give but some of those hit emotions real heavy. If you want fire The Offering, Descending , Rain are all good interesting choices If you want your face melted and mind blown go for Vore and God's If you want to break your own heart Take Aim and Missing Limbs and Are you really okay are like heart wrenching
Bro I'm obsessed with this album, seeing them live tonight actually 🤯 I love ur reactions to these ST tunes, especially we both appreciate those beat drops 👌🏼
Every single one of their songs are so cinematic, they have so much potential for visual storytelling!! I haven’t seen an AMV in like 10 years but little high school me would be going nuts for that.
That part at 6:18 is probably my favorite part of the album, just drops the fattest catchiest chorus of 2023. This song and “Vore” have the best choruses on the album imo.
Bro you is on to something about those AMV videos......unlocked a childhood memory with that. This song hits me personally. Beautiful album, no skips. Ill see them in Colorado.
Got you "trapt", huh? I can't ever get enough... 👌! Thank you again. Don't know if you wanna go back, but Jaws is another amazing track. Video is very sus, but whatever. Awesome song, along with all the rest😊
I swear these guys could make beats for Drake and Kendrick Lamar, they are damn good at it for being a rock band. I grew up a rock guy and 2PAC got me into rap in high school, now I listen to about everything, and these guys deliver in many ways that I appreciate.
2:46 had me so weak, I saw it coming too! Legit crying you got the best reacts for SleepT, you have a genuine appreciation for music when you listen to it and it really shows. I got money says you gonna have merch soon lol👀
Sephiroth rising for that drop. This song totally has tortured sexy villain going for it, Hellsing, Sephiroth at their most dangerously drop panties death blow vibes.
Bringing up the early RU-vid days of anime ANC’s? Another man of culture, I see. Love the energy, man. This was a fun video. Genuinely made me grin from your appreciation of killer music. I’d actually like to see what a rapper could do with a remix. Some of my favorite hip-hop is rappers working with rock artists (jay z with Linkin Park, tech 9 with slip knot, etc.).
I'd love to see you react to "The Love You Want". Also Falling in Reverse did a reimagined version of Papa Roach's "Last Resort" that's really awesome. Plus that song is big right now so it would get you views. And the lead singer makes sure you can do reactions to his songs without worrying about copyright claims. In fact, he even reacts to reactions lol.
I felt the same way lol that last beat they faded out with they shoulda let run for like 2 minutes and just let the drummer jam on it at the very least lol
This is easily one of my top 5 albums. It’s epic, beautiful and emotionally haunting. Had it on loop for weeks when it came out and still listen to one song or another most days
The vocal melodies are so ear wormy, not my favorite off this album but it ain’t like it’s anywhere near being a bad song. And yea, wish this was longer (proud of you for saying it’s not long enough) 😂 And I think people keep asking you to react to ascensionism/tmbte is bc they’re the only songs where he’s gotten close to rapping. “Dark signs” is another big banger from their first album “Sundowning”, no rap there but still bangs.
The way the you were is one of their original songs and it is the only one that really shows the singer vessel the most if you want a taste of their old music and a good look at the mysterious man that is Vessel 🤘
I agree but checking out something live would blow his mind too. Like Nazareth live at the Leeds festival in 2018 or sugar live. That's where you really see the chemistry between in those videos
The older stuff is just as good. After this album, definitely check out older songs like Higher, The Offering, Atlantic, Alkaline, etc. His cover of I Wanna Dance With Somebody is also legendary.
Love these guys so much, and it's great watching you experience them as we all have! For more Sleep Token, check out Rain, The Love You Want, Blood Sport (from the room below), Alkaline, Higher, Atlantic. Honestly anything from them is worth a listen! Here are some other songs/bands you should check out! Mystery by SHREZZERS Delight by SHREZZERS Phoenix by SHREZZERS Demure by SHREZZERS Strawberry's Wake by Dance Gavin Dance Pop Off! by Dance Gavin Dance Feels Bad Man by Dance Gavin Dance Tale of Jenny & Screech (full) by Ren Hi Ren by Ren Keep up the great work!
Love your reactions! Definitely need to save Euclid for last though. Also: even if you wanted to go, every show of theirs is sold out 😭😭😭 I had to pay a scalper an embarrassing amount for a ticket
Hey I'm just throwing this out there.. there is a man by the name of Will Ramos that is in a band called Lorna Shore. Now they are a death core band and you absolutely need to listen to them. But Will LOVES Sleep Token and does vocal covers. Now if you listen to the covers (absolutely mind blowing) then his band.. you would never believe they are the same people.
@@harrisonrossxl what do you consider it cuz just avoid everyone else has been calling it that I know it's not like a fast rap or whatever but it's bars and it's its to a hip hop beat.
Here’s my ST recommendations: The Love You Want High Water Is It Really You? Blood Sport Blood Sport - from the room below Jaws Alkaline Vore Nazareth When the Bough Breaks Honestly all of their songs are top tier
Ok now look at me!!! I think you should also make a double music reaction but for covers that sleep token made You gonna love the vocals in 'is it really you' from loathe and Did you know sleep token made a cover of 'hey ya' from outkast? Yeah
please react to Higher by Sleep Token. Might be my favorite off of their first record. I found this band when Take Me Back To Eden came out and I have to say after listening to their whole discography I think I might enjoy their first record more than their newest. Check it out!
I'm new to your channel but if you want the polar opposite (if you haven't already), you should check out their songs Vore and Gods. The Apparition is an emotional song in a beautiful way, but those two...are heavy.
Actually, talking about listening to this whole album, if the last song you do is Euclid, and if you listen to The Night Does Not Belong To God right after if you do react to songs from Sundowning, your mind will explode.
Those tickets for the show are probably $300.00 each. You willing to pay that kind of money to see essentially a brand new band on the scene? I sure as fuck did and this will be my 3rd time seeing them.
