2023 was Sleep Token's year without any doubt. They didn't just blow the roof off, they blew the whole fucking building off. This band went from a supporting act and playing 500 seats venues as a headliner (by the end of 2022) to selling out their whole world tour and playing 6000 seats venues within just a few months.! And they deserve the whole world...
2023 Sleep Token has changed me in so many ways. They literally make you ascend to another level when you hear them. I wish nothing but happiness for Sleep Token. May they forever create for us to consume and worship.
@@theskincareskinny5006 If you‘re new to the party, please don‘t get fanatic. Yes, they are outstanding and deeply touching - but it‘s still just a band making music. I‘m listening to ST since 2018 and saw them five times live, three times this year. Speaking about the audience this year, the shows were the worst I’ve seen in ages. The crowds were always so embarrassing and annoying. This band deserves every possible success, but their newly fanbase is just a total pain in the ass. Already far worse than this annoying circus that also surrounds the band Ghost. Ghost lost a lot of fans from day one (including me) because of all these fanatics that hopped onto the train during the last 5-6 years. And there are already a lot of ST fans from day one who hate what this newly fanbase makes of this band. Enjoy, love and cherish their music but please, keep yourself calmed down and don‘t get fanatic about them. It ruins the joy of liking and loving their music. Peace.
@@godscoldhands77 yeah honestly when I love a band, I LOVE a band… but I’m not a d!ck about it 😆 the last band I felt this passionately about was Tool, when I first discovered them waaaaaay back in 2001 (still love them btw). I am not a person who goes to a lot of concerts/shows, either… the last kind of bigger show I went to was Big Gigantic in 2016, before that was Nateva festival in my hometown in 2010, and before that was Tool in 2007. But I do want to see them live at least once. Feels a crime not to.
@theskincareskinny5006 I find it interesting how many of us are massive Tool fans and then discovered ST. This has that intensity and aww from when I first heard Tool thoroughly. So many bands are amazing to me but not every single thing they do! I'm obsessed
I started off just being obsessed with The Summoning but with each play through of Take Me Back To Eden I find more and more to love about the whole album.
"WHY ARE YOU NEEVVVVVVEER REALLLLLLLLLL!" my favorite track on the album. Not as intricate as something like the Summoning or Take me Back to Eden but this one just hits different.
I don't think it's the best on the album, that'd have to be the title track, but it is my favorite, especially that moment. After months and hundreds of listens it still gives me chills every single time.
It's really just ii and Vessel. Iiii & iv are just touring members. On the Albums Vessel does everything sorry of the drums, ii covers that (obvs). They truly are incredible.
We NEED to hear Euclid with a full orchestra. There’s actually a guy that has made his own orchestral arrangements and added them to Sleep Token songs, his channel is Jamie Turton, and his version of Euclid is sublime. It just sounds like it was meant to be.
Thank you for doing this one! My husband and I saw them live recently and they were INCREDIBLE! Every person in the room knew every word to every song bc the power of the lyrics alone is unmatched. Sleep Token is one of a kind.
How come? I’m pretty fun to be around. I correct peoples spelling and grammar. I point out the short comings of others. I think it’s wrong when people are different than me. I rarely help people in need if ever. I’m selfish. I’m unreliable. I lie pretty much all the time. You truly don’t want to be friends?
The line- "Just let me go or take me with you"... all over goosebumps! Incredible song, even after listening to it a thousand times! Also, the clip at the end was 🤌!
This is the song that absolutely broke me. This whole album came at a time I needed it the most but this song... rudely accurate for what I was feeling. I'll be getting a tattoo of the line, "just let me go or take me with you" in the ST alphabet
Agree 100% I had probably heard at least 10 of their songs and I liked them, they were catchy and fun to sing but when I heard this one, I knew I was f*cked 😅
i have one complain to this specific song... it's short! lol. they knew they wrote a beautiful song and it being written that way will leave audience wanting more and more. that's why their songs stick so much and us listeners keep one song on repeat sometimes... and the whole album is a banger!
Pause as many times as you feel you need to! I enjoy hearing your thoughts on details of the songs. Your reactions are really enjoyable! This song is really good - I'm excited to check out more.
It's like Goth rnb. It's Sleep token, there's no genre😅They're coming back to tour,so far it's a festival near Vegas? Radio city music hall, and sonic fest in Columbus Ohio so far.
So glad you are enjoying the Sleep Token rabbit hole. Looks like there will be another US tour in spring so keep an eye out for announcements. They just announced RCMH for May. I've seen them twice and can honestly say you will love their live show. Worship
You popped up on my feed and had to check out a reaction to one of my fav songs. I really enjoyed watching your reaction. Love your energy. Sleep Token is such a gift and I’m happy to be alive during their era 🤠🫶🏼
The most incredible band I've found ages. The application of all of these different styles, poetic lyrics, and a truly otherworldly craft for creating songs that transcend time and space sonically... A sound broader than can believed in a room larger than imagination. Their production and sonic approach is second to nothing.
Loved your reaction brotha. Personally I think this song is criminally underrated! The dark chords under the chorus are absolutely fire and the vocals + drums go together so well. Interesting choice to go black and white with the video. Was that a call back to something like an old black and white ghost movie?
WHY ARE YOU NEVER REAL..... Def a fave for me. Like some other people have said, I think this is the most underrated song on the album and I really hope it gets concert time in the new year 😍
That line is just so deep, it’s not just the lyrics or the delivery but notice how low the guitar is chugging when he says REAL. I believe these guys play in drop D1 which is an entire octave plus a step down from standard guitar tuning. You just can’t get much lower than that and the absolute heaviness of the tone really underscores the weight of the line “why are you never real”. That chug there is one of my favorite parts of the song
Sleep Token is the quintessence of talented people in one place,at one time.❤ Every track is special. These drums, these guitars, this incredible vocal going under the skin and flowing inside... resistance useless .storm of emotions every time.want more and more...
Is it just me, or does it still feel like there is A LOT of headroom with this band even with how good everything already is? I feel like they’re just in their groove and like they could just turn it up and get even more intricate and technical and keep it as beautiful as this at any moment’s notice
I have a feeling their fourth album will put them in greatest band of all time conversation (although I’m ready to give them that title lol) on a public level. It’s time for them to be handed awards. It’s been grammy time since the first one
"why are you never real, these shifting states you follow me thru, unrevealed, just let me go or take me with you" que full body melt mode lol def give Rain a spin next!!
This also happens to be an amazing song for testing audio equipment, especially imaging, detail and seperation when everything hits towards the end. It hit my top listened to songs purely because I was testing IEMs with it. Entire song has it all, multiple genres, not too long, can get a really good sense of and IEM or headphone from this song alone. Not just that he sings in a low register and then later higher, so you can test it for vocal too.
Thank you for reacting to this. I had never heard this group, and this song was beautifully haunting. Lots of great elements to it. I've found a new band to delve into.
I listen to them for about a year now and still havent listened to all of their songs on purpose xD i love hearing songs from them for the first time. And i can still pull from that feeling...so great, never did that with another band
I absolutely love this man's voice! It's rich like butterscotch and chocolate.....mmmmm...He doesn't wear a shirt so yeah, he's too sexy for it😂. Love the Sleep Token reactions. Hope you'll do some more ❤ Worship ❤
LOVED! your reaction 🥰🥰 Sleep Token has my heart and soul! I was going through a rough time mentally and emotionally but they brought love and happiness back to my life! Worship ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Honestly that whole album is a masterpiece listened to from beginning to end and a nice cap on what seems to be an album trilogy. I feel the pain that he carries and they transport you to that place so well and convey those feelings like experts.
2 is a monster absolutely the power and time the feels. Not to keen on the doom lyrics but how they do what they do is very very good. And I'm an old guy,but listen to music a long time, these guys are good. The look it could have been just a gimmick. But with the power and feel of the music it works. I mean at this point I couldn't see them going on stage without it. 👍🏿👍🏿💯
The "I'm too sexy for my shirt" comment sent me hahaha. Seeing as he wears a mask but exposes his chest freely... you may be right hahaha what a legend
My favorite part of this video...Polo sayin' he has no problem reliving the entire experience, sorry, NOT sorry. 🤣 I'm with ya bro, I'm with ya. This is my favorite Sleep Token song. Thanks for reacting to it. PLEASE do more Sleep Token. 💯🔥🤘😝🤘💕✌️
Ok. NOW, listen to the live version. Better yet, listen to the lead up track off this album, and then listen to it on the live album. THEN, watch the Page/Plant video from the '90's. 😎
Man, all respect to you and your wonderful understanding of music. Sleep Token has quickly become my favorite band ever and I can’t get enough of what they do/have done.
Great reaction! It’s been cool to see all the different people bonding over this music. Sleep token reminds us whoever you are and what walk of life you come from, we all feel the same emotions.
Hey you havent reacted to Radiohead in a while.... heres my recommendations: There There How to Disappear Completely Lotus Flower Reckoner Street Spirit
I recently subscribed to your Channel.. I see you're an individual who appreciates good music and recognizes talent when you see it, regardless of the genre or the era... Anyone who is a fan of Beth Hart and Joe Bonamassa is somebody that I definitely need to turn on to some really good stuff ,that I'm guessing, most of your listeners won't know.. start with this one... Holly Cole.. when she was with the Holly cole trio.... Que Sera Sera.... From the "no smoking in bed"CD.... Also the" I can see clearly now" track... If you have the time give the entire CD a once over.... Well worth it.... Hoping you will read this!!!! I will stay tuned...
'WHY ARE YOU NEEVERRRRRRR REAAAAAAAL, THE SHIFTING STATES YOU FOLLOW ME THROUGH. UUUUUUUUNREVEALED, JUST LET ME GO OR TAKE ME WITH YOUUUUUUUUU' - Me wailing along with Vessel every time the drop comes. You're right, a bunch of beautiful surprises on this one
Great stuff as usual. I have been watching you for a while now and truly appreciate how you allow the music to play without getting to involved and simply appreciating the music. I am not sure if this is the proper way to make a song request but I will anyway... Check out David Gilmour, "In Any Tongue" from the Live from Pompei concert video! I don't believe you have done this one from David and would love to get your reaction on the guitar solo.
Saw them open for nothing more and in this moment… crowd had no idea what they were watching while me and friends went insane… at the end we screamed “sorry for the lame ass crowd” and got nothing but dirty looks… I think everyone knows now… I think everyone knows…
A lot of the songs you are reacting to is the music I grew up with. Part of it is age, but race/culture seems to play a huge factor. I'm curious about what you grew up with and how you managed to miss all of this.
This is a bad representation of her voice. It is Barry Gibb . Try listening to a song that Streisand did, it’s called “ Memories “ from the Show CATS or a song called “Tell Him “ with Celine Dion.
