I was not expecting Veric
😂
HaHa, love it 😂
🤣🤣
As good as it was to see Veric, I was dissappointed that he didn't have a special 'vessel' to drink his beer from today like usual
Worship veric😂
You're about to hear High Water for the first time, you have no idea how jealous I am about that !
My thoughts exactly
Real
Bro same
My absolute favourite on the album and I can’t wait for the reaction!
Hot take but High Water is one of the best songs ever written. I'd trade my first born child to hear it for the first time, again.
I started cackling at work after seeing Eric in full Vessel uniform.
SAME!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!
"LEEEEEEEEET
THE TIIIIIIIIIDES
CARRY YOOOOU
BACK TO MEEEE"
The paaaaasssstttt the fuuuuuuture through death...MY ARMS ARE OOOPPEEEENNNN
this part makes me wanna float and sob at the same time
Also. “I will go beyond the farthest reaches” Reminds me so much of “I will travel far beyond the path of reason” 🔥
Agree!!!!!
And BTW telomeres are structures on chromosomes to prevent them from becoming entangled.
Vessel loves science
Like lovers entwined 😳😳😳
To keep them separate 😢
I love how this song sounds like a beautiful love song, and he uses the title to say "I have to protect myself from this."
@lfreeman0828 This is a perfect explanation!
The Vessel Cosplay is sooo amazing🤘😭🔥 And I love Telomeres, it´s just so different🫶
One of the different things about Telomeres… is that it just has this strong “hopeful” feel about it. It’s like you’re being carried on this wave of joy and potential… it feels like it’s describing that soul-expanding feeling of love, when it’s at its authentic best… the promise of that glimpse of light, that keeps you coming back to it - even though most of the time, it’s grounded in a pain that keeps ripping you apart..
It has all of this but then when you look up what a Telomere's function is, it leaves you with this painfully bittersweet feeling every time you listen to it.
@@zoodlebeans Yeah. I’ve been thinking about that as well. How the length of Telomeres decides how long a life will last. That it’s a certain time, and that’s it.
I could not pay attention to anything bc of Veric. Plot twist: Vessel is also the guitarist on the album. This one became one of my favorites after a while despite not really having strong ST vibes. The voice, the jazzy guitar, the DRUMS, it's like they're trying to outshine each other and we win.
II has successfully made me appreciate drumming. I never thought of drums as beautiful before sleep token.
Agreed
the jumpscare from eric having this costume XD
Love how Eric dressed up as Vessel!!! Really brought the mood in❤❤❤
High Water is a crusher in a few ways. Top 5 Sleep Token song for me. Maybe top 3
Telomeres is one of the most beautiful sleep token songs lyrically,
‘Your eyes and your limbs are instruments to pick apart the distance’
‘Let the tides carry you back to me’ gets me every time.
I wish people could appreciate the lyrical complexity, it’s simple but so powerful.
I was like Kyle when I first heard Telomeres two years ago. Now? It's one of my favorites.
Then again, every Sleep Token song is a favorite now. Thread the Needle has become my new repeater
One of my absolute favorite ST songs for this reason. A beautiful masterpiece for my heart and my mind
The guitarist is Vessel himself ❤
I know! 🤯 that blues guitar solo is kind of what makes it so special! If I had to guess I believe that he is stronger on the piano as a writer. When I heard that guitar, I was like holy shit This guy is the most talented musician I’ve ever heard!
@@LanceM-rt5gqpiano is definitely the instrument he's the best at but honestly he's really good on all the other ones he plays as well
"Farthest reaches" - there's GPS coordinates in the booklet that labd on "Point Nemo" - the furtherst landmass from any other landmass in the world
The speed in which I clicked on this… I love this song so much - and waiting patiently isn’t my forte. Hurrah!
Edit: I spent my 20s-30s madly in love with the Deftones (Sextape specifically) - so this song hits me and calls back all of those memories. It might be an acquired taste…
Holy shit. Just noticed the Vessel cosplay. 🫠🥵
It's always fun to see the other people who immediately made the Deftones - Sextape comparison like I did. I loved that song so much and there love this so much as well.
Sextape is one of my favorite Deftones songs and this song scratches that same itch in my brain and it makes me so happy
Tbh a lot of their music feels like a love letter to Deftones specifically
What I love about this song (besides everything else about it) it’s how it really sounds like it’s underwater, that solo sounds like it’s WET
Just like me fr
@@joshlewis8860i love you
I don’t think y’all are prepared for the last two songs. I also cannot take Eric seriously here 😂🙏🏻
His voice, the drums, the guitars..I don't care what anyone says, this song is a fkn masterpiece and my ears LOVE it 🔥🫶🏻
It absolutely is!
II had no reason going so hard in an otherwise slow song, but I love it
its offical! first ever reactor to dress as vessel LOL. and holy crap that body paint is BLACK! great as always boys, proud to be a subscriber
Can't wait for High Water.
My first listen or two of Telomeres, I wasn't sold. Then at one point, months later, I couldn't get the chorus out of my head. Now I just love losing myself to the chills I get from the chorus.
Btw, for those who wondered about the name but never looked it up: telomeres are the caps at the ends of chromosomes. They play a role in aging and cancer, when lost. Take what symbolism you'd like from that.
That's how it went for me too! I used to even skip it because it didn't catch me immediately, but one day on my way back home from work it came on and for the first time I really listened... and the chorus hit me like a ton of bricks. Telomeres has been my favorite ever since.
Listening to the instrumental version of this album is a must! On your own time of course.
Without the (respectfully) distraction of vessel’s angelic voice, one can really, truly appreciate the layering and the build up of sound that vessel creates in each piece. And, in my experience, better understand the stories that vessel and ii write lyrically and musically, both separately and together.
Love the cosplay btw!
It gets better the more you listen to it, I didn’t care for it the first few times and now I’m obsessed with it
I love how casual they were through the whole video as if Eric dresses up as Vessel all the time 😂😂😂
I’m SO excited and nervous for High Water. This song makes me sob, smile, hope, and then sob again.
The Vessel cosplay sent me 💀
I adore this song, it’s such a beautiful piece in its own right and then the way it flows when you listen to the album in order… gorgeous.
This one definitely takes some seat time to appreciate, IMO. It's a really lovely song, but definitely has its own vibe. It does grow on you though.
(And I echo the note someone else mentioned below -- Vessel does everything on the albums but the drums! So guitar solo was all V-man. A wizard of a guy.)
1.) I will never get enough of Eric cosplaying as Vessel! 😂
2.) Telomeres... look up what it is and what its function is. Hes singing what sounds like a gorgeous love song, while using science in the title to tell us that he knows hes so in love with her, but that he has to absolutely has to protect himself from this toxic relationship.
3.) I CANT WAIT FOR HIGH WATER AND MISSING LIMBS!!
Kyle- you broke my heart with not loving Telomeres as it was my wedding song when i got married a few months ago! I have to say, I just found your channel a few weeks ago and it has been really fun watching the both of you go through all of ST's music and watching you fall in love with them. I found ST in 2019 and was a casual fan at first, not SUPER into them but liked them well enough but then Chokehold came out last year and that is the song that made me fall in love with them. Over the last year, I went back and listened to some of their songs (over and over again) that didn't "hit" me at first and after several re-listens, I finally GOT it. So hopefully some of the songs that you aren't super into now, after some time, it may hit you out of nowhere.
I have always called this one their Coldplay influenced song. I definitely hear it in some parts of this track.
The first time I listened to this song, I also thought it was less impactful. Fast forward, and now I CRANK it and sob. Something finally clicked where it connected some wires in me, and man, the relative "simplicity" of this song is so emotional. It ain't a show pony, but it's my favorite off the album now.
Lol love the Vessel cosplay! Telomeres gives me early 2000's rock vibes. Reminds me of something from a soundtrack but not in any kind of negative way. It's cinematic to me like TMBTE.
Deftones influence in full force.
THE COSTUME!!!
This is absolutely my favourite Token song other than Higher - pretty big nod to Loathe/Deftones in the sound.
I read a lot of spiritual cosmological symbolism from this one too - the "farthest reaches", "light bends and wraps beneath us", "..as you collapse into me" all make me think of black holes after a star collapses on itself. This lends itself to the idea of rebirth and repurposing of matter in a cyclical way - and the way that all life and existence was born from star matter originally.
Telomeres are the end-caps of our DNA which prevent the strands from getting /tangled up/ with each other which would lead to cells not being able to replicate (be reborn) and thus the death of the organism.
"Let the tides carry you back to me, the past, the future ,through death" being yet another reference of him feeling connected to something or someone in such a way that transcends life and the physical realm.
IMO this song is a huge linchpin of their discography - I hope it sinks in and grows your appreciation on the next few listens! 🫶
Telomeres is being played at my wedding me and my fiances favorite band is sleep token and this song lyrically is so beautiful
I love this
You guys are the only reaction channel I watch anymore and are introducing me to new bangers on the reg, just still a heavy sleep token fanboy 😅
Same for me
Something I really love about this album is that the drumming is so awesome. Not that the drumming isn’t great on the other albums , it just seems more pronounced here
II's cymbal work in this song is absolutely phenomenal
I wish i could hear this one for the first time again
ii doing the most as always.
Kyle, it took me a couple of listens to this one to really appreciate how pretty it is.
Finally, Vessel reveals himself!
Agreed 💯....same....this song grew on me, although it's not a miss like Kyle said, it took more than one or two listens for the beauty of it to really sink in. Now I love it 😅
High Water and then MISSING LIMBS... my god. Tears and TEARs and TEEEAAARS to finish this wild ride!
I had to take a hard stop when I saw you dressed as Vessel. Nice!
Telomeres always makes me feel like I'm wading in small waves. The feel of the melody and even the way he sings.
I knew it! I knew Eric was actually Vessel. you pull that british accent off so good in your music. keep it up with this beautiful, emotional music. the lyrics go hard.
I don’t know why, but seeing Eric as vessel completed me 😭 absolutely love it! Where did you get the mask (asking for a friend) ps. The friend is me 😔
This song has the best drum play out of their portfolio, change my mind. Even on a slow, ethereal song like this II just stays slaying the skins
Idk why Erik drinking from his massive cup with a straw AS VESSEL has me losing it 😂
Man, didn't know you were actually able to get Vessel to join you on a reaction, hella sick
How'd you get V to react??? 🤣
And that guitarist is Vessel playing the solo. He plays all the instruments, except for drums on all their albums.
Another part of the lore. Very faintly on the cover of their first two albums, there were symbols that turned out to be longitudinal and latitudinal coordinates to a point in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean known as Point Nemo, which is the furthest point from any land in the world. I wonder if this is related to the lyrics, and maybe symbolic for the ocean taking him as far away from humanity as possible.
This song is a grower. It's one of my favorites now.
I can't wait until you guys get to the ep's of theirs. I'm excited for what you all have to discover yet with Sleep Token ❤
Strong Deftones influence which is just amazing. 2 bands that are up on very unpopulated levels of talent, songwriting, and creating soundscapes within their songs.
I was so happy I could see this in the first few minutes of it dropping. Biggest smile seeing Eric!
TMBTE is my fav album, but TPWBYT is the album I can't live without
This song pops off live. Whole other vibe.
For real, when did they play it live??
I dont think they've ever performed it live....
@@TeeBagGee that’s what I was thinking
I swear, there are times where Vessel seems like he takes inspiration from Chino Moreno and Deftones. This is specifically one of those songs that sounds like it could be a cover of a song from "Diamond Eyes"
Oh my god I thought it was just a thumbnail edit
Eric. You are amazing
Selfishly hoping you guys go back and listen to One and Two after this.
I love this song sooo much ❤. Top 3. And you’re in for a treat with High Water.
The ending of this is my favorite instrumental from Sleep Token
I’ve been waiting on the edge of my seat for this, and you guys did not disappoint 😂😂 love it, Telomeres just hits the ears different, especially with that guitar solo
I almost spit my drink out seeing Eric in full Vessel get up lol.
This song gives me metal coldplay vibes and its super awesome. I love that I can never predict the style or road this band will take. Its just so fun and emotional and eye-opening to take this Sleep Token journey. Thank you for guiding me to this band ❤❤
to me this feel like a death of a person in vessels arms
him saying "as you collapse into me" and "this is the start of something"
seems like to him, this is the start of something in him after the loss of this person.
This and high water are two of the most underrated songs of theirs
I need to know how long it took to get the body paint just right 😂
the daily reminder from lil Ves is hillarious lol
The scream my sister just screamed seeing Eric's cosplay 🤣
My favourite song of that album. Beautiful.
High Water next. The absolute best outro to any sleep token song. It's absolutely intoxicating
This and Euclid are not only my favorite Sleep Token songs, but some of my favorite songs of all time. They are just absolutely gorgeous and, for some reason, make me feel like everything will be okay.
I wasn’t expecting Eric to be Vessel in this, I thought the thumbnail was edited a bit but nope! Amazing work on this!! This is gonna be one of my new favorites of sleep token now!
Holy shit I wasn’t expecting a Vesselric today 😂😂 this is the best
This song definitely took me more time to get into compared to other Sleep Token songs but still good because they just dont miss. 😂😂😂 Eric cracks me up. Seriously the hip-hop head dressing up as Vessel, never thought that would happen.
This song wasn't initially my favorite on the album, bur now it is my favorite song out of all their albums.
I'm sure someone may have mentioned it, but Telomeres are essentially the reason we age and die. Every time our DNA replicates, it gets slightly shorter. Telomeres are nonsense DNA at the end of our chromosomes that act like a barrier that protect us from the shortening of our DNA strands, but eventually they run out. But yeah, I think its a really cool title over our mortality and fits the vibe of the song really well.
I love how this connects with some of the lyrics too.
"Your eyes and your limbs
Are instruments to pick apart
The distance within".
For me this song describes eternal love felt so deeply it could almost be at a cellular level. To love with every fibre of your being, that it's almost a cosmic experience (the light bends and wraps beneath us).
And telomeres being essentially the measure of life (the distance within), then "The past, the future, Through death, My arms are open"...OMFG. Initially this was probably one of my least favourite songs off TPWBYT, but now it's absolutely one of my favourites
I'm just living for Eric in his Vessel era, honestly. Telomeres isn't one of my favourites on Tomb, but I can appreciate the guitar solo and Vessel almost allowing the song to breathe by pacing the vocals. mans a genius, enough said. great reaction video as always.
Not sure if its been mentioned, but for the first two albums the recording personnel in the studio were as follows:
Vessel: vocals, guitar, piano/keyboards
II: drums, samples
George Lever: production, engineering, bass
(For the Take Me Back to Eden album, Vessel recorded all the same instrumentation - as well as the bass guitar)
So excited for High Water, one of my favorites!
Telomeres is such an absolute love song and it's so smooth.
So excited. You're getting my fave tomb song next. High Water is just uuuggghh. That song changed my life.
Absolutely amazingly well done Vessel look Eric. How hard was it to get all the paint off lol?
Telomeres is my absolute favorite song by them.. the last part of the song I always hear the chorus of it. And this is one of TWO songs that has an actual guitar solo. I looooooooove this song lyrically as well
missing limbs is too good, i know you both will fall in love with that song. shortly after that will be Nazareth, that’ll be a huge one for you too! much love for you guys!
LOVE that you come in full costume!! So fun!!
Lol the big cups are even more amusing when you're dressed as Vessel, excellent job on that btw
This is my favourite track on the album.... HOWEVER, the next track is high water and i wish i could experience that first time again. Its incredible
This wasn't a favorite until I gave it more time. It's such a beautiful song. 🖤
First of all, thank you so much for continuing to react to Sleep Token!!
Second of all, that cosplay is AWESOME dude it looks so good on you and seeing you guys specially with it literally made my day (and i wasnt having the best day today) so thank you guys so much for everything 🙏🤍🤍🤍
This one had to grow on me. Now, it's one of my favorites. Give it a chance.
Nice song and solo. Thanks guys and take care.
Next track is going to be AMAZING NO DOUBT! Loving Veric lol
Was impatiently waiting for the next ST song! And Eric, epic outfit!! Lol
So excited for you guys to finish the album but also sad that the journey is almost over!
yoooo the vessel outfit goes crazy 😆
The next one is high water, one of my favorites from sleep token, been waiting so long for their reaction to it!
The drums are immaculate in this song
I slept on telomeres for a while because it didn't do it for me at first either. I actually didn't really get into the back half of Tomb (after Alkaline), but I started to listen to it more, and just really felt the change in direction in the pace and tone and completely fell hard for it. Tomb is my favorite album front to back now, and I find myself listening to it the most out of all 3 full albums. II absolutely kills it and really shines on this album, and of course, Vessel's vocals and lyrics are so incredibly captivating. Also, remember, every part of all the albums was written by Vessel except for the drums. Keeping that in my mind when I listen just keeps me in awe of Vessel's (and ii's) talent. It's okay that you didn't care for this one Kyle, but I'm hoping you give it some time to sink in like many of us, and over time you will love it as well. Eric, you killed it on the costume man, awesome job 😂💜
This track really grew on me the more I listed to this album. The hopeful bits make the sadder bits in other tracks that much more impactful. Slow start, but it really opens up into something beautiful by the end. The name is an interesting choice and not sure I 100% get why they chose it. But maybe it makes a bit more sense when you envision something coming into being as the track goes on.
