THE STUPENDIUM | WOOL OVER OUR EYES | Cult of the Lamb Song! REACTION 

I'm glad you enjoyed it, man! Thanks for the reaction! I may be biased, but I'd certainly enjoy hearing your thoughts on other songs! ;)

Shwabadi did say reacting to a stupendium video and catching everything in the first listen is a full time job…

There are so many things about this song I love as someone whose actually played cult of the lamb. I don’t think I’ll get everything but some things off the top of my head: 1. The chorus line “he who waits beneath” - not only is it a clever little ‘oh respectful and ominous way to refer to our god’ but also its *literally* what the guy is called in-game! His name is He Who Waits, and we learn later that his name is Narinder! 2. “Lethargy is heresy” you can give your followers a necklace in-game that prevents them from sleeping. They will no longer need to sleep and can work throughout both day and night 3. That little humming in the background? It’s faint but you can hear it at some points: it’s reminiscent to the actual in-game music! There’s a few parts - most noticeable with Clauneck’s part (the tarot guy). 4. Mentions of sins! You can start collecting sin from your followers after defeating 3 bishops. 5. “Heavy hangs the neck that wears the crown” - not only mentioning the heavy responsibilities of the Red Crown’s vessel - you are meant to go out and kill the bishops and build your own cult and free He Who Waits, you’re not the only red crown vessel who has been tasked with this, just the current - but also, Lambert was beheaded at the start of the game! Its how they meet He Who Waits (who is a 3 eyed cat if anyone wants to know) so its just a funny little reference to me. 6. The whole donation bit - yeah cults rely on the funds of their followers, but also it’s a mechanic in game! Both as a doctrine and as something you get during sermons. 7. Clauneck’s part is just fantastic. He’s the bird thing with the tarot - you can hear his in game noises in the background music! He sounds like creaking wood. Im not gonna analyze the lyrics that much because frankly, there’s so much there that I can’t figure out where to stop. Clauneck is a character in game you meet on your crusades, he draws you three tarot cards and you can pick one for a specific battle boost. From more health, to giving damage when you roll and hit someone, to a lot of other really helpful benefits. 8. Fervor! The line “for your fervour has been fated now” fervor is an actual thing in-game! however its used during the battle mechanics, its still cool as fuck that stupes included it. 9. Speaking of you can use devotion in-game to upgrade your cult and get more things. items like buildings for the cult: better houses, better farms, outhouses, scarecrows, quality of life items etc. 10. OH. the line “lest you be plated at the feast”! Thats my hands down favorite line because of the double entendre. You can be a cannibalistic cult in game! You can harvest the meat of followers who died and have doctrines based on cannibalism. So this line has two meanings to me: if you refuse to pray and submit to our god, then you will either be sacrificed to Narinder (thus giving the cult a power boost), OR, you can be eaten! Either way, you will be sustenance for the flock.

Stupes gives a whole banquet so there's a lot to eat even if you devour a lot the first course! I'm always torn between a reactor breaking it down fully in the video or not because I want them to enjoy the song as a whole first, just like the average viewer got. It's what the song deserves, especially when the viewer knows it hits that good spot. 👍

stupes is always underrated lol should be way more popular. I mean every aspect. lyricism rhymes pattern artistically hell they even get philosophical with it.

YOU GOT MY RESPECT because of this things: 1. You used right pronouns, many reactors are using wrong pronouns 2. You said that song is awesome So sub to you bro!

Great video! I'd love to see more, and a breakdown video sounds cool as hell.

For high-speed clever lyrics, try "No One's Home" or "Ad Infinitum" (although with the latter, it helps to either read up on it or play Deltarune 2).

Hey man, im hoping to catch your vids as they come out,

Great reaction, thanks! Looking forward for more Stupendium in the near future!

To the Stupendium’s fan: what type of song do we want him to react to next? Ratchet and Clank/Fallguy or Control/Deltarune?

to me it's like what the lamb would be saying during the sermons.

That last chorus with the extra beat for a backing simply just slaps.

Well, subscription gained... You are the only person I have seen make the same correlation between Stupes and Old school Em.. well more Slim shady. The beats, the lyricism and the rhymes.. Their work always puts me in mind of that caliber of talent.

I'd love to see you break down some of Stupendium's work, it's always so cool to see how other people interpret their work and how it impacts everyone differently. ☺️

I would love to see more reactions from Stupendium. I also do like the idea of a longer form video, but I admit I just generally like longer form content. Either way, you do you!

You should react to a pizza the action - easily one of their best songs

If you felt a bit overwhelmed you should take a peak at Ad infinitum, its insane. Or if you want a comedic song Vending machine of Love is fantastic.
