SLEEP TOKEN - ASCENSIONISM [MUSICIAN REACTS] 

Stream my new song here: open.spotify.com/album/1DCvNVTl4rcInAEDMhH9Eh?si=i4Qmwqk1R9Wr7ZPCnukGuA

That scream for "you're gonna watch me ascend" gives me chills every time

The heaviest thing in this song was the lyrics, damn how well written everything is, when the end exploded, and the singer sings "you make me wish I could disappear" with so much rage, it left me paralyzed, I even cried. Vessel Who made you so bad? Come I want to give you a hug please

Something I read in a comment section elsewhere about the Take Me Back to Eden track and the heavy part at the end, that I agree with and understand it as, is that rage finally came out and he’s had enough and he’s screaming “Take Me Back to Eden!”. Like, having an argument and trying to talk civilly and then just losing your mind at the end and start yelling.

Sleep token is now the benchmark for modern music writing. Phenomenal album. There are very few bands in this world that invoke genuine emotion and overwhelming feeling through their music. If anyone listened to this album and took nothing away from it, I honestly feel sorry for you. This music is a gift.

people: what genre are you? sleep token: exactly

Great song 😃. You might be interested in hearing how well the new album is doing statistically. #2 for US and U.K. in the Spotify album charts, #5 globally, and #3 in the official U.K. album chart. So satisfying to see how well they’re doing and I agree that they can only get bigger. I’m pleased you took more to this one 😊

Dude it makes me so happy to see dudes vibing to this shit as hard as I do 😂. Such a good song both lyrically and musically. Genuinely amazed.

You gotta listen to the album from start to finish-- I think it helps justify a lot of the style shifts, especially with TMBTE. I think EUCLID is my fav song.

Had a strong feeling this one was gonna be one you loved. It's so well-written and composed, the production is amazing, and it's just so impactful. Best one on the album composition-wise for me.

Breaking up with my girl makes this album impossible for me...We listened to it a lot. I can't wait to be able to hear this again without falling apart.

This is def one song i wish i could hear for the first time again

This and The apparition are just next level!!

Honestly totally stoked you finally checked this song out its my all time favorite sleep token song

It actually upsets me how good this song is, it's just not fair. Glad you vibed this one more than Take Me Back To Eden, you should definitely check out the other songs on the album, not a single filler track on it.

When I heard this and are you really ok when the album dropped my jaw was on the floor

Definitely a vibe! Glad the heavy worked for you here. Such an amazing song. This whole album is fantastic!!!

I think if you would've listened to the album in order (or just this one before TMBTE) you would've vibed with TMBTE WAY more. After all the other songs before TMBTE you probably would've wished they would've gone super heavy, and then having heard how heavy TMBTE gets after all the other songs probably would've made you vibe with it way more. Hopefully that made sense LOL

"On the way to mount Eden" make me cackle thank you. Also, WORSHIP.

This band keeps getting better and better...

I'm glad you're back on sleep token reactions! Hoping to see one to apparition and euclid

One of the best songs I've ever heard.

7:08 bro….this was my exact same reaction my first time hearing that…that scream hits the f*cking soul !

I SO need videos of them doing all this in studio, like during song development!!

I initially didn't really like the Rap bit, but that's just me that I'm not much into Rap, but love the atmospheric kind of chorus stuff in the background in that section, and the more I listened to this track the more I actually kind of appreciate that. Not a very big fan about rap as I said but I thought that the way it was done here was very clever and love the quality of the mix as well. Really well separated and put together, every sound is full of life and depth. And right after that section you get his looping voice swelling up with increasing amounts of reverb and pitch shifting down and the production there is so damn clever and creative I think, as his voice is pushed further and further in the background with the reverb, blending in with the ambient textures, until it then slams right back in your face up close and intimate with the whispering, and then culminating in being fully open with guitars and all the rest. That really creates an incredible contrast which I really love. I think it's so beautifully done, very creative, inspirational and clever.

I mean I WAS having a good day until Vessel broke my heart with that scream. Again. Fucking sobbing.

This is going to come out of nowhere, but I ran into you years ago at the tower on Destiny 2 after being a fan of your music for a good while. Was looking through reactions for sleep tokens new album and came across your channel. Hope all has been well!

I knew you would like this one haha. Great reaction brother. You always get so into it and I'm here for it

the first drop in this song is my favourite on the album

I just discovered this band today and I’m loving every track I hear. If I was a reaction channel I would just record all day with their music

I've been listening to sleep token at least once a day for the last year and a half. This album has been on repeat since release

Solid break down bro. 🔥🔥🔥

I’m glad you were feeling this one. My favorite honestly.

Hells yes sleep token !!!! 🎶music is life 🎶 Masterpiece ! ✌🏽

What a great reaction. Love to see someone going bananas - I act like this every time I listen to ST. Just beautiful...

Yesssss as soon as I heard this track I was hoping you’d react. I’ve had it on constant repeat

My favorite part is the mosh-cry part at the end. "You make me wish I could disappear."

This one and Rain are my two favs..

This song wrecks me. Absolutely amazing!

the thumbnail looks like ur eating a lemon nice reaction.

Told you that you wouldn't be disappointed! Keep up the great work man. Always a pleasure to hear your thoughts, whether critical or not.

The like the pree-uhh.. pre--uhhh. Not going to lie, intrusive thoughts almost took over.

I hope they release "Let's Go Back to Mount Eden" on the deluxe edition ✨

I love Alkaline.

Love that you do these along with the rap. Please keep doing sleep token.

Balls of steel, bro. I was a puddle after this.

Time to go down the imminence rabbit hole. The lead singer plays the violin while doing clean and unclean vocals. They just dropped a new song today. Imminence- Desolation

Euclid next! I'm trying to see you tear up in the thumbnail

You have the best reactions on YT bro. You can tell you’re actually engaging with the music and understand what’s going on. But at the same time, you’re not like those pompous “composer” or “vocal coach” reactors, etc who are just overly dramatic and snobby.

I mean they're the fire, no better way to say it. Finally some refreshing music in these times.

I strongly recommend a song called SUGAR of their first album

O heeeeey glad you upload so fast ❤️

Agree with your take in the reaction to Take me back to Eden, and the the difference in the transition they used here that makes it fit better, and not be so jarring. I think given the lyrics that was done intentionally in TMBTE as it fit the story telling in the song. On 3rd, 4th listen, now that I am expecting the sudden switch I like it a lot more but still wish there was a better transition to it….that being said, that may be the only thing I didn’t care for in the whole album. I would recommend going back and listening to the album as a whole once you are done with reactions as it was written to be listened to that way. The ebb & flow and story telling works amazingly well as an album. Love getting your take, you always come in with an honest ear. The Apparition should be up next. Also, don’t listen to the closer without revisiting Sundowning and the EPS, you’ll appreciate more…

Please listen to Take Me Back To Eden one more♥️🙏 The lyrics throughout are absolutely incredible. Loved this reaction…I felt the same way when I heard this for the first time! WORSHIP!🤘🏼

Man u gotta do euclid, think you’re gonna vibe to that one

I totally agree with your explanation of the heavy in this song vs TMBTE… it kinda threw me off in TMBTE also and It’s grown on me cuz I’m prepared but i still prefer that it didn’t end as heavy.

Worship ❤

This flip is when Loucifer is responding

Me getting ready to unleash an almighty headbang at the drop at 05:25, RU-vid: Here’s an advert 😒😒😒

YOU MAKE ME WISH I COULD DISAPPEAR

10:01 precum

It’s actually a conversation between god and Lucifer

I sware maynard from tool and this guy need to calibrate i would lose my shit

Im gonna Subscribe to your Channel, excellent reaction

Do Rain it’s another banger

worship

what do you about some arabic music or maybe indian kpop you definitely should try these

I agree about the heavy working on this track unlike the 'Take Me Back To Eden'. I mean, the heavy was good as fuuu** but a little bit too much to a transition even with all that building

This and TMBTE kinda have same vibe but don't it weird

❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥

Alguém brasileiro aqui?

Either way we need more of Nicki Minaj's Music

Ascensionism*

I still feel The Apparition is better.

You know metal is dead when a band like this is getting all the attention.

The mixing on this record is just 🤌🏼✨ phenomenal✨🤌🏼

Woahh we have the same headphones. A man of culture.
