Sleep Token is the breath of fresh air we've been needing in musical art and lyricism for some time now. Enjoy the rabbit hole. And if you get an opportunity to see them live, do it!
Well said Sleep Token is what we’ve all been needing. Watching/ helping newbie’s get iIndoctrinated into their music makes me fall more in love with them. I got to see them in October and hands down the best show I’ve seen, felt like a spiritual experience- I suppose ritual is an accurate description. Worship
Metal Bands are slowly making a comeback bro Sleep Token will tour with Bring me the horizon next year btw now you gotta do Bad Omens "The death of piece of mind"
"Life is dark. Life is bright. Life is ugly. Life is beautiful. Don't get lost in genres they'll only disorientate you. Music is for everyone." -Sleep Token
This man’s got one of the most open minds when it comes to music. Boy got Lucki and Slime season 3 on repeat but he vibin to sleep token. Respeck, my g 💪
Yeah they pretty much do it all. You want some soft jazz? Arena rock? Pop? Hip hop? Metal? They'll do it all in one song. 🙃 There's three whole albums and a couple of EPs to experience for the first time. Welcome to the Sleep Token cult - you've been summoned. It's always a joy to see people get hooked that get it. It seems at some point it grabs you and you're trying to get everything you can find. I saw them live a few weeks ago and he sounds as good (if not better) live.
Such a genuine, unspoiled first reaction. Youre a real one. Love your immediate wish to listen to it for the first time again, thats what we are all here doing😂 so thanks for fulfilling that for us and getting real, real close to those feelings again.
My favorite quote possibly ever made by Vessel in one of the only 2 interviews he's done “Life is dark. Life is bright. Life is ugly. Life is beautiful. Don’t get lost in genres, they’ll only disorientate you. Music is for everyone.”
“I didn’t know what I was expecting, not this though” - welcome to the Sleep Token experience. Rap, R&B, Heavy Metal, Piano Ballad, Jazz. You name it, they’ve probably got it and probably in the same song. Heard them for the first time this year and haven’t been able to stop listening since. Just a great band that genuinely makes you feel something. Great reaction, look forward to the rest of the album!
“I wish I could erase it from my memory and do it again” - dude, every time I listen to every track on this album that’s how I feel. Please do yourself a favor and listen to the whole thing front to back 🤘🏼
“What’s happening here will be talked about through history” beautifully said brother! It will be talked about as the moment when the idea of genres existing exclusively to each other was destroyed completely!
"I don't really understand what just happened to me" hahaha me after every Sleep Token song ever. Their music legit altered my brain and the way I view music. They are incredible in what they do.
Welcome, I'm so happy you found Sleep Token! 😂 your reaction was so genuine and incredible, so fun to watch. I'm excited to subscribe and to see you react to more of their music. I saw them live in Detroit a month ago, and honestly, it was a spiritual experience. This band has helped me in healing my soul, and pulled me out of a very dark place. I hope you fall in love with them the way the rest of us did. 🖤✨️🙏🏻
Welcome to the worship brother. You're in for a wonderful ride. All three albums are connected in a trilogy concept, with a lot of songs having interconnected lyrics to others songs. I recommend you go back to the very first album, start with the first song and go through the entire discography. There isn't a bad song in their entire collection. Also, you may be interested to know that the band is completely anonymous, and the singer (Vessel) writes the lyrics and the music, plays the piano and guitars in the recordings. The only other member that join him in creating is the drummer (Known as II) The other two members on stage only join for live performances (Known as III and IV). I would strongly compare Vessel to a modern day Prince in the fact that he produces all of the music and creates it all himself. He is incredibly talented. Enjoy whatever you choose to intake from the band and we are glad to have you aboard brother.
Best present ever! Thank you! And YOUR WELCOME I TOLD YOUR ASS. he said I gotta listen to the whole album in less then a minute. But no, thanks for listening!
😂😂 wait until you hear the summoning.😮 Like rollercoaster. Not heard the full album yet. So I'll do the whole thing with you. Ive heard a good chunk though. 😊 Alkaline and the album it comes from is also an amazing album. Just can't for the hell of me think what it's called. Hate when that happens ❤
That feeling - that ‘woah’ moment - was so pure, I loved it! Can I tell you how much I loved that this was your introduction to ST? Phenomenal. Welcome to the obsession, sir. Your journey has begun and it’s just going to get more intense. Worship. 🙏🏼💜
I hope you do get to reacting to the entire album man. It's one of those rare ones for me, no skippers, perfection. Helped me through 2023 so much, was a garbage year for me. Much love.
I’ve been a fan of sleep token for like three weeks and they’ve been on replay the whole time. Like headphones on 24/7 literally fall asleep with them on 😂 Listening to TMBTE was quite literally a spiritual awakening/emotional journey and I am so glad to watch the same happen to someone else too. They’ve given me back the love and excitement I used to have for new music and I’m incredibly grateful for it. They’re amazing and I love them all! Definitely watch some live performances too their personalities really show. Then you’ll find out how goofy these guys are on top of the sensational music. Worship.
Welcome to the Sleep Token fandom, we keep tissues on hand at all times for random bouts of crying! TMBTE was also like a spiritual experience for me, and you sound SO MUCH like me three months ago when I was at that three week mark 😂 Don't worry, it doesn't suddenly stop becoming awesome at any point. And even if a song stops scratching a particular itch, move on to a different album for a while, you'll find something you like there, and when you jump back in it's amazing all over again ☺I always love seeing people who reacted the same way I did to this music.
Yeah, i tried but can't find my memory reset button. So I find new reactors to watch get their first listen. You'll enjoy the ride. Yes it's the same man singing the whole song we call him Vessel. 🖤
Welcome to the cult bro, every song they’ve release is pure heat! Vessel (the singer) writes and produces everything minus drums. And their drummer is one of the best out there. I think you’d like The Apparation and Take Me Back To Eden off this album and you gotta check out their older albums.
I aint realize this was double reaction when I commented, appreciate you checking em out! Looking forward to more from u man, keep this good energy about you
What you said about erasing them from your memory to hear again really hit home. There is nothing like hearing these guys for the first time, they are AMAZING!
Loved your reaction. I have to admit there is something very spiritual about their music. I lost my wife to cancer and they helped me through it. They have changed my life for sure. I love this band as well and I’m sure you do now too. Stay blessed.
Much respect to your reaction to this amazing band. I've only found them recently myself by complete accident and have been hooked ever since. This whole album is complete 🔥. You've seriously got to check out The Apparition and Rain next. 🤘 unless you really want something to pull at the heart strings, then i highly recommend Blood Sport (from the room below). Keep it up bro.
These were my first songs too, brought me to tears right off the bat. Sleep token is a spiritual experience! They are beautiful and heavy and their contrast makes everything stick out. I’m a metal head and I don’t think I’ve heard a heavier band in both sound and emotion. Different vibes, but they remind me of early Korn. Just raw emotion!
Welcome to the fam!!!! I felt the same way, like you found your forever music. You should really check out everything! Every one of their songs is on my playlist! You'd love Jaws, and Granite!
Go thru the complete for. from the Sundowing then TPWBYT, and TMBTE. You will be mesmerized & want to put on repeat for months if not longer!!! Im a forever Worshipper 🫶 They hit your Soul in places you didn't know existed. Great reaction🤘
Subbed. One of my favorite Sleep Token reactions yet, and ive seen so many. Genuine amazement at the music and writing, and you can see and feel that genuinly enjoyed it. Enjoy the Journey, Sleep Token deserve everything, Album is a Masterpiece and should go down as one of the all time greats.
Definitely two of the best off the album, so different and so special, both of these songs go through genres so effortlessly and it doesn’t feel forced, make sure you give granite and the summoning a listen
My friend you are in for one helluva ride with this band. I hope you enjoy it as much as the rest of us do. Based on your reaction - which was wonderful by the way - I trust you will :)
He is definitely HIM an what just happened is u have ascended! Lol Seeing them live was EVERYTHING for me! 🔥 Can’t wait to see u do the whole album. Worship! 🙌🫶🏼
🚨🚨 Trigger Warning!! I have never done any kind of hard drugs in my life... When I heard this song for the first time, I damn near had an out of body experience! The way this song made me feel took me to a whole other plain of existence! I love listening to Sleep Token so much it's a low-level addiction, and I keep chasing that high wishing I could feel that feeling of hearing them for the first time once again!!
For me Sleep Token and Spiritbox are pionering this new generation of metal who cross boundaries. Hope you get to Spiritbox at some point! This Sleep Token album def the album of the year!
I recommend some (mostly old) stuff that this reminds me of, generally with beautiful voices or vibes Between The Buried And Me - Colors II (2021) TesseracT - Altered State (2013) Glass Ocean - Glass Ocean (2014) Intervals - A Voice Within (2014) Killswitch Engage - End Of Heartache (2004) - reached 21 on billboard 200 Periphery - Periphery II (2012) - reached 33 on billboard 200 plus one wild card that is vibey chilled australian rock/hip hop with one guy playing the saxophone Chase Atlantic - Chase Atlantic (2017)
Any time you click on a sleep token song, don't try to guess what its gonna be or happens next lol. They love genre bending and KNOW how to make well-written music with ups and downs.
Just start with Chokehold and go from there😂 Not a skip on the whole album. And if you want to get really freaky, go back through their whole discography. They are a phenomenal band....They have covers too, the did Hey Ya by Outkast, Dance with somebody by Whitney Houston, and When the Party's over by Billie Ellish. I love Outkast, but their version of Hey Ya makes it just hit different. Glad you enjoy them. Expect your follower numbers to increase if you do jump down the rabbit hole and cover all their stuff. You won't be disappointed if you do.... they make you feel things you never have before and take you on a roller coaster ride lol. Vessel (the lead singer) writes all the music, lyrics and performs all instruments and vocals during the recording session except for the drums which is II. The base player, III plays with them onstage live along with IV the guitar player. You say he's special, but I don't think that word is strong enough 😛 He's down right PURE GENIUS, The whole album is 🔥🔥🔥 New sub here. Will be back for any and all Sleep Token! ❤W O R S H I P❤🤘😎🤟 PS.... Don't be ashamed to cry 😂😂 They do that to people, just enjoy it! We've all cried at some point listening to them.
Welcome to the rabbit hole my man. They literally don't miss. I strongly recommend you go through their entire discography chronologically and listen to the pure talent right from the start. ST reactions also pull hella views so take that for what you will. Is there a way to possibly change the audio if the music a bit? It seems suuuuper muffled like the eq balance is off. Love the vid - instant follow.
Subbing for more of this! If you haven't already listened to this album yet and you want to REALLY feel amazing, you need to start back at the beginning and listen to their other two albums first, then this one. Trust me, it pays off. I didn't get that experience and I'm sad I didn't get it, but I've seen other people who listen to everything in order get that moment and it's super satisfying to watch. I hope you get it. Even if you don't, it's still an amazing journey. Welcome to the Sleep Token fandom!
I’ve been a fan of Sleep Token for less than a year myself and they have become my favorite band of all time. I would HIGHLY recommend listening to “The Night Does Not Belong To God” off of the album Sundowning before you do the album reaction. Trust me, it’s worth it.
My one recommendation is if you’re gonna pause the song, then back it up like 5 seconds when you start up again. Give you that little bit of buffer to maintain the continuity and vibe of the song. Otherwise, I love the commentary and energy. Good luck w/ the channel! :-)
Great and genuine reaction! Sleep Token IS on another level…I HIGHLY recommend you react to the song “Nazareth”, off of their second EP, called ‘II’. PHENOMENAL…🔥🔥🔥🔥
Ironically I said the same thing about nothing game changing coming out anymore, that music was getting redundant and going downhill, then I found these guys. All 3 albums, both EPs, and the loner songs like "Jaws" are all fire.
Vessel can really do it all but in reality it's less him being above others and moreso his apparent love and desire to share music. In his own words, “Life is dark. Life is bright. Life is ugly. Life is beautiful. Don’t get lost in genres, they’ll only disorientate you. Music is for everyone.”
The two you listened to here happen to be their most genre-mashing, turn-it-up-to-11 type songs. Most of their other stuff will pick one or two genres and ride a more consistent lane, or just have one major switchup. You'll definitely see what I mean if you listen to more. Aqua regia is all RnB/pop, granite is pop+metal, DYWTYLM is pop pop, Vore is hardcore metal. Same mostly goes for their other albums, if anything those have less metal.
