the song names in this EP are all named after places of worship- nazareth, jericho, calcutta (an old name for Kolkata). i feel like this EP is really where the band locks in on their yearning and worshipping sound, so the names are very fitting. vessel really did so well making every single word and song title mean something.
Under recognized meaning behind the track names... Calcutta City named for god of destruction and death, Nazareth meaning the place of the branch (or bough), Jericho meaning city of the moon. It's the trilogy
As far as I know youve only got two songs left, and only one of them is a cover "The Way That You Were" is an original, plus the cover of Loathe's "Is It Really You?" Both are ballers and bawlers.
I don't know if you noticed this, but Jericho actually has the same driving synth sample as in Jaws! Their production is top tier! This is definitely up there as one of my favorite Sleep Token songs! Loved the reaction, guys!
@@jasonlafrance2942 I feel like I can hear it in the second verse of Euclid too. I may be reaching, but I feel like it's in there as a base, slowed down with other notes peppered in. I can't find a good enough instrumental to be sure and it's driving me crazy! Around the 1min mark onwards, particularly hits me around the "hope to god you don't know this feeling" line for me. As I say, I could be full of 💩 but it's driving me mad
Dine on old encounters, say my name again, you taste like new flesh. He’s remembering when times were good, and now he only gets them in his dreams so he’s trying to stay with that feeling as much as he can. Then he wakes desperately wanting her to call for him again
YESSS one of their best songs idc. Was waiting for kyle’s “take me to church” 🤣 Edit: if you listen thru all the albums at once.. POST IT! We’d love the commentary
“You taste like new flesh” can go both ways, sometimes it’s nice to have the experience, then there’s times while having new, it hurts and makes you miss what you had them lyrics always hit me hard
I would love to watch and experience a full Sleep Token experience with you guys. My first exposure to Sleep Token was The Offering and Sugar, via my partner's music, and I fell for his voice and wondered what else he did. Then I just fell deeper, and deeper...and now I'm in too deep to resurface.
My hot take: Calcutta, Naz and Jericho are the best 3 consecutive songs in Sleep Token's entire catalog. Lot of other good picks, but this is it for me. Thanks for the ride, boys. Worship
I first heard this song live back in 2018, I was completely blown away, Vessel's voice melted my brain!! At 4:52 I literally ascended right there and then!! It's such a beautiful song and not having it on the setlist anymore is breaking my heart!! Please bring it back, there are new worshippers out there who need to have their ears blessed! ❤️
I feel like listening to the other singles and EP's I can actually hear elements from each and every album. And still to this day this is one of my favorite band to listen to. Worship. ❤
I'm so disappointed you didn't start off by saying "Let's Jeri-GO!" hahahaha. I loved watching you guys react to this, I've been waiting for this one from the beginning and knew you'd love it. It is still, to this day, one of my favorite Sleep Token songs (I'd say it's my #1 favorite, but let's be real - whenever I listen to this band, I have a favorite, and then another song comes up in the shuffle and then it's like "OH wait, *THIS* is my favorite!" every single time hahahaha. But this one is definitely something special for sure, and never fails to make me feel things.) HOLY CRAP I'd absolutely love for you guys to do a podcast hangout of you just listening to the entire discography from start to finish and vibing. And I'm so freaking stoked to hear you break it all down; you've had some fantastic insights and connections and I can't wait for more. You'll need a big pegboard with red strings lmao, I wanna see it all mapped out even though we all know there are never any answers, just more questions ;) Thank you both for sharing this journey with us. It's been incredible, and almost felt like it gave me back that "first listen" feeling that was so profound with Sleep Token songs. Worship
The music video for “Jaws” isn’t the music video for Jaws. It’s actually the music video for “Nazareth”. Mute the video for Jaws and press play on Nazareth at the same time and let your mind be blown 😅
The strange eating / feeding / drinking topics go throu the whole discography. I personally have to connected to an ED. Just because I had one. I could be many things though. The weird thing in this one is for me: years beneath this bed. Why beneath?! This part gives me sleepless nights 😂.
These last few videos have been so bittersweet. I’m so thankful going on this ride with you two. Love your reactions and how genuine they are. I’ll totally be keyed in and hype af for a podcast.
I am going to be a nuisance once again and shamelessly beg for the Drumeo Offerings (hour+ long playthrough/interview + separate 'the summoning' playthrough). It would be such an epic way to end the journey. Until the next music they put out, of course.
It's so nice to watch y'all, as guys who listened to the new album first, come back and seriously appreciate the beginning. I feel like a lot of new fans don't enjoy the EPs as much as they deserve. Love it.
I’ve been waiting for this one . By far my favorite song from their EPS and one of my favorites of their discography. The Vocal layers, strings, Melody, and beauty during the outro of the song is just breathtaking.
All the songs from Two have names with Biblical/Christian significance. Calcutta - links to Mother Teresa (Saint Teresa of Calcutta) Nazareth - links to Jesus (him being Jesus of Nazareth) And Jericho - as you said, the walls of Jericho etc.
Hey Eric and Kyle, my favorite band Starset just released a new single called Brave New World. Would love to see you react to that, and just react to more Starset in general, for the 1000 likes price of course
Never seen an artist or band whose discography tells a better story than sleep token. It’s a lot to sort through and open to interpretation. That makes it for everyone and that’s why I think it’s so beloved
This is one of my absolute favorite songs. Top 5 fo sure. Currently its my "on repeat" song. Before this was Mine. This song scratches something deep inside of my brain and soul with that raspy voice and break down. It goves me goose bumps. The offset cymbals in the end. The deepness and reverb in the bass drum. Ugh. Perfection.
More questions than answers, isn't it life? Happy to have witnessed this journey with you guys, I didn't think you would react more to them after The Summoning but here we are 🖤
I'm so happy to have gone through this journey with you guys and I agree on everything you said about what Sleep Token has done to change and help our lives for the better. A truly unique band, one of a kind. ❤
I’m making bracelets for the show in Pittsburgh, and I start at one and go through the whole discography. Btw it was nice to meet you at the Punk rock Flea market!
I really hope you guys go through some of their live performances and dig further into the room below set. But even if you don't i've had such an amazing time watching you two go on this journey. Thank you so much for taking us with you.
I have absolutely loved following your journey through the Sleep Token discography!!! Watching you lose your minds, seeing the stunned looks on your faces and crying along with you on the emotional rollercoaster has been a pleasure
It was a great journey throughout their records! I got to discover your channel thanks to your reaction to take me back to edén and i've been here ever since. Looking forwsrd to see more of your reactions, you two are great :)
New All That Remains song called Divine came out 2 days ago. First new song since their lead guitarist passed in 2018. Shortly after guitarist Jason Richardson joined. And as of this year former Shadow of Intent drummer Anthony barone joined. Great song. They are finishing up their new album and will hopefully come out soon
been here for the whole sleep token ride! cant wait for is it really you. I know you guys have reacted to a few Imminence songs a year back. I HIGHLY recommend checking out their new album "The Black" shook my world just like sleep token! Would love to see reaction videos of them though! their whole album is un-skippable in my book.
Thanks guys, as a long time fan of Sleep Token, it's been a wonderful experience seeing all these reactions, and I love the poetry of you guys finishing it off just about where my Sleep Token journey started. Much love, and I can't wait to experience more Sleep Token with y'all
I just found a live version Sleep Token did of Hallelujah back in 2022 as part of The Rooms Below....if you haven't yet, you need to see it...Vessel straight up crying while singing yet still being in total control of his voice....amazing.
I loved this journey with you guys ❤ I discovered Sleep Token via the Hypnosis cover by Will Ramos. And my life has pivoted the same way it did when I discovered Tool. Just fundamentally changed haha As soon as Take Me Back to Eden was released, I sat down and dedicated a time block to listen to the entire Sleep Token discography in order and I recommend it. The absolute catharsis of Euclid is insane after going through the almost 4 hour ride lol Thank you for sharing ❤
I have absolutely loved this journey with you guys! I'm excited for you to do the singles and that idea you have for a podcast would be amazing! Now that you have gone through all the albums, you should absolutely watch some of the live performances. Start with some from a few years ago, and then up to now. Their growth is such a beautiful journey on its own, and the Teeth of God tour has been absolutely magical so far. Worship!! 🫶💜
Ok, so I was busy all day and didn't see this until late, but needless to say I almost broke my remote trying to click on this! I was also screaming at the RU-vid ads for interrupting the video! 😂 So glad to see the reaction to this! I'm so glad that we got to go down this road with you, it has been amazing!! Keep rockin' those reactions guys!! I will be there for them all!! ❤
I am waiting for you two…. To come and do the II Drumeo interview and song play through that is an hour long. After you get through the sleep token agenda, please fellas do not ignore that!! #WORSHIP This song deceives you, it’s all mellow and smooth and then it’s a smack to the jaw again!! 🔥🔥🔥
