I highly recommend their cover of Hey Ya and also Jaws. They were released independently of Sundowning and the EPs, but are considered essential listening to many of the fans.
I beg of you to watch them cover Hallelujah. They don't have it on their channel, nor have they posted it. I believe it was a live room below concert in 2019, can find it on youtube.
In terms of their live set, these are very common songs from each of the records (but they will assuredly pull a deep cut or two to mix in with the popular songs) From Sundowning: -TNDNBTG (but has been recently pulled from the sets since Eden cycle) -The Offering (almost always played as encore) -Higher (if not played as the encore, second encore) -Bloodsport (pulled back out live recently with their 2023 closing show in Wembly) From TPWBYT: -Atlantic (was on last US tour) -Hypnosis -Alkaline (consistently on every tour) -Like That From TMBTE (lots from this cycle since new obv): -Chokehold -The Summoning (with II drum solo, there’s live video of this on RU-vid from Dallas date) -Aqua Regia -Granite -Ascensionism -Vore -Rain -TMBTE (debuted during Germany shows late 2023) We are also currently on Euclid Watch (waiting for debut performance, likely UK first)
Another great reaction Ashlena. I absolutely LOVE Vessel's voice stripped back & raw. I'm pretty sure he could cover just about anything and still make it his own. Speaking of which, please check out Sleep Token's "Is it really you?" by Loathe. It's hauntingly beautiful ❤️ I'm so happy they've finally received recognition for what they do. I've been a follower since they formed back in 2016 & to watch their growth & them play from smaller venues around the UK to this is has just been incredible!! 😍 #worship
Love your reactions to sleep token! Just seen they got singed with RCA today! I’m so excited for them and can’t wait to see what they have planned for the future. They’ve came along way. I can’t wait for your reaction to This place will become your tomb! So many great songs on that one.
After you do Tomb and the EPs, don’t skip the stand alone singles (Jaws, The Way That You Were & Hey Ya by Outcast). Then do a full reaction to the Room Below show from Lafayette. It’s got Hallelujah that was mentioned, but that show is absolutely incredible. Just Vessel, a piano and the 3 back up singers, Espera aka The Vesselettes that they tour with.
Oh let’s go!!! I didn’t know whether or not you were gonna do the deluxe but I’m so happy you are. Love your reactions, can’t wait to see you react to old sleep token with the EPs and jaws
Seeing them live has been everything! I'll see them for the second time in May. I'm manifesting that they play Euclid and The Night Does Not Belong to God in the same setlist. They played Chokehold, Like That, The Summoning, Rain, The Love You Want, Ascensionism (my fave), The Offering, Alkaline, Hypnosis (amazing!), and that's all I currently remember. I can't wait to see them again!
They recently re released sundowning on vinyl and I was so stoked to get one. Not sure if they sold out again. What’s nice is they usually have various special vinyl color pressings. Best of luck.
I think the cover of "I wanna dance with somebody" is really underrated, since I have herd that cover I have never listen to that song the same way. its a really sad song.
Yaaas. I'm loving the full album features. I think Vessel 1 stripped down is much more vulnerable and fits so well. Plus it gives 2 a break from his insane drumming. I'm excited for you to get to Alkaline on This Place Will Become Your Tomb.
They played Whitney’s original of Wanna Dance With Somebody after their concert in Detroit I went to and everyone in the stairwell was singing along, it was amazing. According to other people I talk to they play it after their other concerts too. And as far as their concerts go get there maybe a few hours early, my sister and I showed up 20 minutes late to their concert in Detroit and it took so long to get in that we missed all but one song from their opener
You should check out the cover sleep token did of is it really you? Loathe did the original version and is worth a listen to as well. Since you loved the bonus tracks, it will hit harder
Great Album reviews for Sleep Token, and really happy you got to the deluxe version as well! Fell in love with the Whitney cover, and convinced my fiancé that it will be our first dance song when we get married this year ❤
Once you finish This Place Will Become Your Tomb, I definitely recommend listening to Take Me Back to Eden again once you have the full context of the three albums.
There is a German Band with a very strange name: AnnenMayKantereit... of course they sing German ( and english also), but I am sure you would love the voice of the singer. For me it sounds similar...
These tracts sound like 1 take proformances to me, as well. Sounds like they just recorded Vessel and his piano and then did some very minimal post-production by adding a little bit of reverb to his vocal for no other reason than to match the natural reverb and sustain of the piano and it sounds like they may have added a some MIDI strings to help soften the ending of this version of Bloodsport. To me, this version of Bloodsport is the definitive version. I love the studio version as well but this one resonates emotionally with me on a whole other level. Another banger of a reaction! Thank you!!!
You’re going to have trouble releasing the whole album as a singular package. If I were you I’d record the whole thing at once like you’re doing then chop it up and release it one by one. That way they get the copyright claim for each song and they probably won’t block it
Hi! how are you? I wanted to ask you if you would react to Melanie Martinez's new MV, I really love your reactions and I love seeing you react to my favorite artists, sending you lots of love❤❤
