Love the reaction. You can’t go wrong with Sleep Token. As for new bands, you NEED to listen to Bad Omens. The lead singer is a HUGE Sleep Token fan, and you can hear the influences on The Death Of Peace Of Mind. Don’t ‘sleep’ on this recommendation 😉
You cannot go wrong with any of their offerings. If you have not listened/reacted to Jaws, it is such a VIBE. I also suggest then reacting to Vessels cover of “Is it really you?” originally released by another British rock band, Loathe. It is only Vessel and a grand piano. You are soooo welcome in advance ;D
Jaws is honestly God-tier and so underrepresented. So gorgeous, and a masterclass in drum writing. So is Calcutta, I think it would make her cry. The way he delivers those lyrics 🥺 both are beautiful love songs.
Ugh. Yesss. The lyrics in this song hit hard. The "you take what you want then leave," "cause anything's better than the way I feel right now," and "you make me wish I could disappear" being screamed at the end are too relevant if you've ever been used and left by someone. Thanks for another great reaction.
She should listen through the albums in order, and save Euclid for last. I think she'll appreciate it so much more with all of the callbacks to the other albums. 🙏🏻
Since TMBTE came out, Ascensionism has been my unequivocal favorite offering of theirs. It’s at least 4 different genres baked into one immense Sleep Token offering
So glad you’re loving sleep token! Regarding other bands…. Ima suggest Bring Me The Horizon, and the song Kingslayer featuring Baby Metal Please do the official video, and then their live performance together in Tokyo! Then down that rabbit hole 😁 You shan’t be disappointed!
JAWS BY SLEEP TOKEN NEXT. My favorite song by them to date. The lyricism. The instrumental. Extraordinary (like all of their songs but this one is has a special place in my heart)
I heard this song for the first time at work. When the rap/hip hop part started I nearly fell it was such a shock! The line “Lipstick, chemtrails, red flags, pink nails” is one of my favorite lines of music ever!
Love this reaction! ST never fails!! I don’t know if you have done Imminence or not but they are amazing! Eddie playing the violin in metal music. Chef’s kiss! Check out Death by a Thousand Cuts!
Please do Hypnotise and Higher! Hypnotise has gained noteriety for being one of their "saucier" songs, if you catch my drift 😂 and has had numerous vocal covers done by many popular RU-vid musicians. Higher is from their debut album, and is for me the one song that laid the foundation for what Sleeptokens signature sound and niche would become. I know you'll love both 😊
Everything aligned in this song to make it my favourite of their discography, but there's not bad Token song, honestly. Tesseract's recent release 'Legion' is epic. Dan absolutely kills it with the vocals.
I love how you wear your emotion on your face when you listen. It’s awesome. We can tell exactly how you feel as you listen. Keep it up. One of the better reactors out there
It’s been so great to see you discover Sleep Token and your journey through their masterpieces - love seeing your reactions and your growing love for them! I was lucky enough to see them at Wembley last month, such an emotional and mesmerising gig, they certainly get their hooks into you ❤ you need to see them live if you ever get the chance. Great content, I can’t wait to see more! Also, my tip - check out Tesseract, especially their record ‘Legion’ I guarantee you will fall for them too! 😊
There it is.!! Watching you listening to Sleep Token is absolutely enjoyable, I'm always happy when there's a new one. You're really lovely.! ♥ There are so many more badass songs to discover...don't stop it.!
This Journey into you loving Sleep token is fun to watch. It's an experience you won't understand unless you do it yourself which I have. Love your videos
Loved your reaction. It's one of my favorites as well. For something different from them I'd recommend Are You Really Okay... A few other bands you may like... TOOL, Gojira, Spiritbox, Pink Floyd. Keep em coming! Can't wait...
This song is the emotional equivalent of going a few rounds with Mohammed Ali in his prime. Hearing it live is indescribable, Vessel always cries during this song
You should listen to Sleep Tokens 'The Love you want'. If radio was still a thing it would be played in regular rotation. The video is amazing as well. Very artfully done with dancing and swords and Vessel tying bows onto limbs. Yeah, it's lit!
A band Ive had on repeat these past few weeks is Stoneside. The album God of the Mountain is amazing. Their channel says they write music for the dead ( departed ) hence how atmospheric and haunting the sounds can make you feel.
YES!!! Totally amazing band, I've been completely nuts for them ever since they release History of Violence. It was actually their frequent comparisons with Sleep Token that got me into ST in the first place.
They’ve saved me from a cowards way out more then once. They showed me the way and showed me how much more there is to life. Legends. Thank you for giving them a fair shake and appreciating them so much!
I think I've been saying you need to hear this since your first ST song. Didn't disappoint. This is my favourite song, though it flip flops between Take me Back to Eden, this and "Atlantic" from their second album. Thanks for finally getting to this one. =)
As a new band, I recommend SPIRITBOX, their latest EP "The Fear of Fear" was undoubtedly one of the best of 2023, you can start with their song Jaded which belongs to that EP
Now you can go listen to these songs a million times like the rest of us! Nothing like that first listen but Sleep Token only gets better and deeper with each listen. 🤘😍🤘
I have a few suggestions for up and coming bands that I've heard recently that are amazing. Here's a song from each. 😁 The song "Sinner" by the band "Of Virtue" , The song and video for "The Loneliest" by "Maneskin" (I guess they are pretty well known now but this song and video are AMAZING), The song "21 Gun Salute" by "Catch Your Breath" , The song "Drown" by "Dark Devine" , The song "Bang Bang" by "Revnoir" , or the song "Panic Waves" by "Our Promise". The bands are so under-rated. Anyone reading this, please look them up. Sleep Token will always be my favorite but I love variety. ❤
When you are done with the Sleep Token rabbit hole; Deftones - Diamond Eyes, Digital Bath, Change Tool - Well... That's a whole rabbit hole in itself to spiral down that's worth the trip
You’re one of the very few reactors that seem truly interested in the music you’re listening to and your reaction appears genuine and not fake like to many others.
I really appreciate your comment. I don’t fake my videos, the day I don’t feel a song I react to I’ll admit it. I also work hard to balance a full time job and edit so you appreciating the content means a lot ❤️ have a great day 😊
Loved the reaction Vanessa. Easily my favorite song off the album. When you get time plz react to there song Bloodsport (from the room below), you won't be disappointed I promise. Worship. ❤
I also can't not recommend Spiritbox. They are a female fronted Canadian metalcore band who are on a meteoric rise in popularity because they write undeniably amazing music that incorporates and compliments Courtney LaPlante's deep, rich and beautiful vocals into a perfect blend of heavy and pop inspired vocal styles. Think Leona Lewis with hella drums and guitar 😂Absolutely have to check out their songs Circle With Me, Jaded, and Ultraviolet 😊
The lyrics to this song are so damn good. The fact that they created a song that even comes close to equaling the power of what Vessel is saying here is incredibly impressive. For me, personally, yeah, this is the best thing they've done so far.
Nice🤘🏼🤌🏼 #Worship Also, another band you should listen to is Cake. Different sound but you might like it. Start off with "Going the Distance". It's their most popular song. If you like that you'll probably like the rest of their music.
I would absolutely enjoy seeing you react the Sleep Token’s song “The Love You Want”! It’s off an older album, but I think you would be captured by the lyrics and..it’s Sleep Token..
This song is absolutely amazing I absolutely looooove Sleep Token favorite band off all time, can’t stop listening to them tbh lol one band I do listen to that’s completely different though is Electric Callboy they are absolutely funny as hell and roooock out is a completely different way but still amazing, check out Hypa Hypa or We Got the Moves for sure but keep doing Sleep Token so many good songs still
