the band as a whole feels like a shotgun to the heart. i watch reaction videos of these guys cuz i need that validation for myself that others can feel what i feel. you sir understand those feelings and break them down along with how they coexist with each song which alot of people fail to do in reaction videos. for that you have my subscription. worship.
I couldn't agree with you more,I found this channel looking for reactions to sleep token and braindead is the best so far because he understands the feelings and vulnerability that these songs bring us all WORSHIP my friend 🫶
Hi! I love the joke, my husband animated the Nemo seagulls. Also I am a ST addict too and am enjoying your journey through. What a beautiful, mind opening ride.
That is amazing! Your husband animated something that provided me hours of entertainment, between me and my friends whilst trying to claim the last food item! So thanks to him for that 🙂 and thank you for watching, I am happy that you are enjoying the journey!
One of my favorite things about Sleep Token is the different instruments and sounds, like the jack n the box you mentioned, that they incorporate to make their music so alluring and fulfilling. This song was a favorite of mine because like you, i can't see them live but not cuz I'm holding out...but i binge all their concerts on UA-cam and this song was one that they played live and it just blew me away. Vessel looks like a masked music conductor (technically he is 😅) when the "gunshot" guitar and and drums hit...man, just fills you up inside with joy! Great reaction as always.... Im glad you're really enjoying the journey. It boggles my mind why some people don't like them. I mean to each their own, but i just can't say enough how special this band is. My go to reaction is that i want others to listen and enjoy it with me. That's why i like reaction videos cuz they validate my feelings 😊.... I'm not sorry 😂😂😂 Anyway, keep on keeping on! ✌️ ❤ WORSHIP ❤️
Thank you for watching as always Nikki 🙂 I am glad you are still enjoying them 🙂 I am glad that my reactions are able to validate your feelings in some way 🙂
Watching you fall in love with Sleep Token is making my life. I love how you understand the intricate musicality of the songs, all the way to the orchestral way of writing to make sounds that fill rooms and sounds that fill cathedrals. Another great reaction. Worship
I can listen to this song while I’m on a run, and I can sing my ass off. Or at least try. But then this song can get me on a day like today, and ‘over all the wasted years’ can just send me into a spiral… I was one of the lucky ones to see them at the Philadelphia show, and yes - I cried.
This is me and my girlfriend’s song. We’ve been long distance for almost 2 years since she moved to the UK. There are certain lyrics that have helped us strengthen our relationship and make it work even though we’re 5k miles apart. This past January I visited her to celebrate our 3rd anniversary and seeing them in London was my gift to her. When they played Mine that night, it was magical. Slow dancing, singing to each other, tears welling up; we were the only people in the entire venue.
That is an amazing story! Thank you for sharing. Long distance relationships can be very tough but incredibly rewarding when you finally get to see each other 😊 I am so happy that they played your song on the night!
We are very similar, for me all music invokes emotion, the beauty of capturing a feeling in the moment of expression Sleep Token does it in a way I can't describe
Thank you for starting this journey and taking us with you,i love how you break these songs down and show emotion and vulnerability.I seen them in September and it was the most incredible experience of my life.Worship
One of my favorite things about watching Sleep Token reaction/analysis videos is the number of them that start with "So this song is a little different!" I feel like the band has so much versatility while still having a cohesive, identifying sound. And I totally agree about the gunshot guitar and drum! This song hits like a sledgehammer to the chest. I saw them live last month and held it together until Atlantic. Then again during Ascensionism when the pure talent of II hit me, of *all* things. (I've honestly not paid much attention to drummers before this one. But something just hit me about the way he plays.) Loving the journey! Personally cant wait until you do Distraction.
I am loving the journey. I hope you get to see them live some day! I have been blessed to see them three times within the last year and it is an amazing experience. I have some videos from Philly and Red Rocks on my page.
I was lucky enough to see them live at Wembley Arena in December 2023. The show was absolutely amazing! There is a video about it somewhere on the channel 😊
Having just seen them live at a festival, I can tell you it was all hype songs with dancing and moshing. They never played any of the slower/ballad emotional songs. I really want to see them in concert some time instead of a festival as I know their set is more varied that way. Thanks for all the reactions!
@@BraindeadBreakdown yes. Though I think shortly before the new album started dropping I started getting obsessed about other tracks that have grown on me even more
I guess that's why they call their concerts, 'rituals'. They did one interview in 2017 which kind of lays out where they are coming from. It was a Metal Hammer interview, I think. Worth googling... Regards 😊
I will Google it when I am done with the journey. I have heard there are identity spoilers and I want to avoid those for now, so I am avoiding googling them wherever possible at the moment 🙂
@@BraindeadBreakdownoh for sure. This was a legitimate written interview with them and Vessel as 'Vessel'. No revealing of their identity. Wouldn't want to do that to anyone who enjoys the mystique. I was curious... So... Anyways, as Vessel states in the interview - 'Who we are is not important'. 😊🙏 Edit: Yes, Google with caution if you prefer to keep the anonymity of the members.
Perfect timing! Just came off the hypnosis reaction. Just started the whole sleep toke playlist yesterday morning at work and just let them all play through and it helped me get through my morning! I was crying with you the whole way through 😂 had to stop after bloodsport, my heart couldnt take it anymore 😂 sappy bastards unite! But it was a pleasure. Loving all the reactions and you have great things to say about the music.
@@BraindeadBreakdown more so tearing up. I'm an emotional guy like you and that's exactly why I connect with this band so much. I've been listening to them since 2019 so they are not new to me but it never fails to hit me right in the feels and especially seeing someone else experience the same emotions as me. Not everyone gets as moved by music as people like me and you. It's moments like these that make me cherish the fact that Im an empath. I can feel the pain in vessels voice on another level.
I am happy that the right people have been finding the videos so far! I was initially very nervous to post the emotional side (as you may have been able to tell in Ascensionism) but the ST audience quickly embraced that side of me! I am thankful for that. 😊
@@BraindeadBreakdown it's all love from us my man. I can appreciate when someone isn't afraid to show their true emotions. I'm a bad example of that lol so it gets to me seeing others share that side of them because that's how I'd like to be. Also, so far the most enjoyable time I've had going through sleep tokens entire discography with a reactor. Keep it up! Much love ❤️
@@miataqc8763 Not to come barging in on y’all’s discussion but I wanna just say that Sleep Token fans seem to be the kindest fan group I’ve encountered. I don’t see mean comments, everyone is supportive and kind and welcoming and happy to lend virtual tissues and hugs 😅 Other than a few unhinged lone actors (and every group has those) ST fans seem to be pretty grounded and generally just Good People. Glad I found all of y’all 💜
They did just finish their US tour, so they are going to be back over there, but I'm with you on the money aspect of it. I didn't get to go to a single show over here. Glad you liked this one. The "music box" sound reminds me of the 2 string instrument that geisha play. Another great reaction 😊
The first 7 songs from this album rank very high on my favourite Sleep Token songs! That's not to say that the rest of the songs aren't great too. It's all subjective. Sleep Token are finishing their tour with a gig at Wembley Arena in December. Unfortunately, they sold out the 10,000 capacity in just 10 minutes! I missed out too, as I was in an online queue and it sold out before my turn😢. Stay safe 🤘 ✌️
Sleep Token defined= "Limerence" 😅 I didn't know this word till Sleep Token. I knew the feeling but wow! Seeing Vessel song this song live is intense. Also, do you think he loves waltzes?
Just to say, man - Id be happy to donate what i can if the opportunity to see them live comes up for you, and its unaffordable. I suspect others here wouldn't mind at all either, if it's within their means. (I hope you dont feel that inappropriate to post) - Neil
Really enjoying your Sleep Token reactions. It’s great that you’re reacting to the entire discography in order. Loving your enthusiasm for this incredible music. Just wanted to mention that tracks 5 (The Love You Want), 6 (Fall for Me) and 7 (Alkaline) all have music videos and give you a heads-up to prepare yourself for Fall for Me because it hits hard. W O R S H I P
Thank you for watching, I am happy that so many people seem to be enjoying it! I have already recorded the videos for 5 and 6 but I won't give anything away 🙂
@@BraindeadBreakdown We can’t listen to these songs for the very first time again so are living vicariously through you. I must admit I am looking forward to your reaction to Fall for Me as much as any song on TPWBYT. High Water is another. W O R S H I P

Definitely one my favorite songs by Sleep Token.
I can understand why!
I can listen to this song while I’m on a run, and I can sing my ass off. Or at least try.
But then this song can get me on a day like today, and ‘over all the wasted years’ can just send me into a spiral…
I was one of the lucky ones to see them at the Philadelphia show, and yes - I cried.
I would have been crying right alongside you, my friend!

Their tickets were really pricey here in the US too. I saw them in Spokane Wa. They were damn good live.
@@ddevil4980 I've been living for the concert videos here and on tiktok since I couldn't afford to go

That sucks Brian! Hopefully you manage to get tickets next time! These songs are all amazing so far 🤘
I actually like the tail end of the album more than the first half.
Sleep Token is great live. But man their tickets are pretty damn expensive.
I haven't actually looked but I am guessing good tickets are out of my range 😂
@BraindeadBreakdown yeah, I put them on my credit card. It's not the best idea, but that's a problem for future me. 🤣
😂😂
You mentioned the songs without the vocals. Has anyone mentioned the instrumental albums for Sundowning and TPWBYT. They're very good for the kareoke
I am no singer but they would be amazing to jam along to on my guitar! 🙂
Sleep Token defined= "Limerence" 😅
I didn't know this word till Sleep Token. I knew the feeling but wow!
Seeing Vessel song this song live is intense.
Also, do you think he loves waltzes?
I want to see them but like I said in the video, gotta finish the journey first 😂
None of us would fault you for seeing them live 😂
I would fault myself though 😂 Not that it matters, I can almost guarantee I will have finished the journey before they come to England 😊
Just to say, man - Id be happy to donate what i can if the opportunity to see them live comes up for you, and its unaffordable. I suspect others here wouldn't mind at all either, if it's within their means.

Fall For Me is heavy, man. I'm convinced that there is the use of subliminal messaging on the video, also. A bit like in the film Fight Club.
Maybe a frame by frame investigation is necessary!
@@BraindeadBreakdown We can’t listen to these songs for the very first time again so are living vicariously through you.
I must admit I am looking forward to your reaction to Fall for Me as much as any song on TPWBYT. High Water is another.
