SAME. I love seeing people new too them react to this track. I haven’t hardly put it down since release, and still love going through YT and finding people reacting for the first time too it
My favorite new hobby is finding people reacting to this song and watching their faces when vessel starts spittin. Makes me remember the first time I heard it and gives me my little dopamine hit for the day.
OMFGGG YESSSS! It's literally my favorite thing to do!😂😂 I ALMOST get to experience it for the first time agian through the reactors ❤ Watching people react to HURRIKAN from ELECTRIC CALLBOY is hands down one of the best things ever😂😂😂 CUZ BABY AINT NOBODY READY FOR THAT SHIT😂😂😂😂😂.
This is my new hyper fixation for the week 😊 It’s so good, I got to watch them at Sick New World(they were one of my main reasons for going) we were in a dazed state of mind bc of how tired we were that the entire worship felt ethereal.
Fun fact: only Vessel and II do the studio recording. All of the recorded lead vocals, backing vocals, guitar(s), bass guitar,, piano and song writing are all Vessel. The drums are all II. I'm looking forward to the day that III and IV record with Vessel and II. ❤❤❤ Worship.
@@erinmartin1768 yeah i’ve seen videos of him doing them live. it definitely shows how talented vessel and II are that they do everything on the studio albums
I say the exact same thing but I sometimes wonder if IV came in to help for some vocals. I also wonder if the lyrics could be written as well by II. What a band. I imagine one day they will come out with in the studio videos like making of TMBTE etc…only time will tell!!
The best take on Sleep Token I’ve ever heard is ‘I wish I could hear their songs for the first time again’. That being said, I’m constantly hearing new details in their songs that I’ve listened to literally on repeat for the last six months. This band is like no other I’ve ever experienced. Seeing them in NYC in May and I am beyond excited.
@@ashton_b99i saw them on May 4 in Dallas! It was a breathtaking experience. During the main hit of Rain, lighting struck and it started pouring. Truly a religious experience.
So, they're ALL masked. Their identities are hidden, likely to keep the mystery going and to protect themselves from the spotlight in their day-today lives. It makes the band even more wholesome to me.
Just think, on any given day we'll never know if that bloke behind us in the self-checkout queue in Tesco is Vessel or not. I'd like to think it was, just to make my shopping experience have that extra edge. ☺️
"How is this not the biggest band on the planet?" Honestly, they're getting there. They've gone from 200,000 monthly listeners to over 3 million in 1 year. These guys are blowing up. Give them time.
I hear that. I love seeing it happen. Since late 2018 or so, I was hitting up my favorite reaction channels to play Jaws, or Bloodsport (from the room below). Skip ahead to The Summoning and watch them explode over night, was amazing. ~Worship
Sleep Token has consistently put out some of the most intense lyrics that make me feel the music on a whole other level. Particularly with this song. "I'm a winged insect, you're a funeral pyre," is such a great way to describe a very specific "moth to a flame" attraction that is so volatile and consuming.
When I heard that lyric, it reminded me of a past relationship where it felt exactly like that. I hadn’t heard it worded so well before. They truly have a way with words.
Even in comparison of the mere breadth of consumption. Because what is a moth to the mammoth of a funeral pyre? What a way to make someone feel, that they are drawn to another’s monstrous, devouring, all consuming energy, while a mere insect. One blink and you’re gone yet a pyre will continue to burn
When the last meteor shower peaked in Dec., i threw a recliner in the bed of my truck, took a rather heavy dose of mushrooms & listened to this entire album 3 times. It was so perfect.....& one of the most incredible experiences I've ever had.
@@aimeehutchinson7203 with a good pair of ear buds/headphones & 3g of shrooms, the album is incredibly powerful, beautiful, & magical. Its hard to explain, but I genuinely can't recommend it enuff.
I think you just represented every Sleep Token fan hearing them for the first time. It's literally an emotional rollercoaster, this song especially. You actually looked emotional at one point, which just shows how good they are. I love that you appreciated every bit of this song. This is by far the best reaction video I've ever watched - We took the journey with you lol.
@@DreadnaughtyArt I haven’t gotten there yet 🤣 I listen to two maybe three songs at a time. They create so much emotion and feelings for me that I play those three song’s over and listen and vibe. I may sound crazy but it wipes me out listening to them because of all the feelings. PLUS it gives me more to be excited about discovering the new songs while I wait for new content from them.
"Grow back your sharpest teeth, you know my desire" is a reference to an earlier song of theirs, The Offering. No doubt you'll hear it eventually. I'm loving watching you discover this band and having such a blast! It's truly an experience. I was lucky enough to see them live last year. It was a bad festival venue, half the crowd wasn't into it (their loss), and I was stuck in the back. It was still one of the best shows of my life. They gave every ounce of passion and energy I've seen them give in videos of massive stadium shows with dedicated fans. It was glorious.
So happy I got to relive my experience of this song through this UA-camr. Sleep token is not just music. Sleep token is a spiritual awakening. I honestly didn’t know my heart had a G-spot.
Thank you for your reaction. To be honest, this song evokes every possible emotion in me, and it's just unreal. I'm really glad that you like Sleep Token. I'd love to see your reaction to "Ascensionism", that song is also exploding in my chest. Worship.
I absolutely love the band - but I have to be honest with myself, this band is Demonic, and apart of the Agenda we see. Truly though one of the best bands of all time in my opinion.
@@peaceofmind6804 From the continued listening to them I understand why you say that but I don't necessarily think they are exactly "demonic". I think the masks are more-so so they can be who they want to be and act how they want without judgement of their looks (which to me makes sense as an average weird white man lol) but they lyrics and music are about Vessles dealing with the dark side and "Sleep" being the ultimate sleep. I get the Demonic/Cult side of it but i don't think that's the true intentions. I could be wrong but that's my take
It’s worth it to go back and listen to their albums fully. There is a full circle moment from the first track on the first album to the last track on TMBTE. ❤ As a newer Sleep Token fan my only regret is not learning about them sooner. Going to see them live in Chicago, absolutely cannot wait!!!
Love your reaction videos. My bf couldn’t understand why I was so obsessed with vessel and so I played him a few concerts from on here and now he’s got every single sleep token song there is and he’s never liked this kind of music before. Vessel can sing any of us right outta our clothes. 😂
And Vessel writes 100% of every song aside from the drums, which is II's god tier drum creations. The level of talent, skill and intelligence in this band is otherworldly.
Agree on the "how are they not the biggest band in the world?" ... they have everything to be the biggest band!! Sleep Token, Dayseeker and Imminence, the three bands with vocalists that everytime they open their mouths, they inspire me, make me got chills
What makes it even more incredible is that Vessel writes and performs all lyrics, vocals, piano/synth, guitar, and bass for the album recordings. III and IV only play bass and guitar on tour (and then Espera are the backup vocals/chorus behind Vessel). Vessel and II are the sole musical writers and performers on the recordings, though, and it is.. just unreal that anyone is capable of all of that.
Man, I wish I could be in your shoes again! Discovering this band has been such an incredible experience. If you really want to get into it listen to the album Sundowning, then This Place Will Become Your Tomb, then TMBTE again and it’s like a cathartic experience! This trio of albums goes down as one of the best pieces of work in modern music history!
Gotta say, I’m excited to see one of US reacting to music like this. I am new to Sleep Token and this is the song I first heard from them and it BLEW ME AWAY.
One of my favs. I love how at the beginning it’s like he’s asking “take me back to Eden” and at the end when he’s screaming it’s like a plea to be taken back. I also love that the end has Chokehold layered in.
In the beginning he also says "I WILL travel far beyond the path of reason" and in the ending he says "I HAVE traveled far beyond the path of reason." Like at first it was a warning, like if you don't take me this'll happen and at the end it's aggressive and demanding
I am a 53 yrs old dude! I have seen them twice. Once in Detroit and once in New York. I will travel almost anywhere to see them, by far the best concert I've attended. Love your reactions
God this is is the shit I LOVE as a longtime Sleep Token fan. So happy that people are discovering the boys through their latest album, and more people are giving more of the spotlight to Vessel's MAJESTIC voice and vocal range. Had sooo much fun watching this dude, get ittt🫡🫡❤️❤️ plus if you take reccomendations, I'd say Ascensionism is something you should check out for more of Vessel's rap, Atlantic from a previous album is a spiritual experience more than anything, and AN ABSOLUTE MUST is Blood Sport. A must.
As a ST fan since 2019, I'm also happy they're finally getting recognized, but I dislike that all these bandwagon fans are buying up all the merchandise and causing live ticket prices to skyrocket. I went to go buy tickets to the ATL show and it would cost over $500 for my wife and I to attend.
@@Reversoul yeah but I mean it's a pretty inevitable part of them gaining more recognition yknow? Their success is rising so more and more people are interested in seeing them live. I've also been around since 2019 and I've *unfortunately* never had the pleasure of seeing them live but, it is what it is :/. their music is reaching a wider audience and that's a good thing. But yeah I do get it
It's like not fair right. How he can sing very very well, can scream, can rap, tall and cool. And here I am smiling while listening to his voice and looking like a potato.
This is my most favorite ST song. It’s beautiful. I smile, I grimace, I cry. That slow down with “it goes to show does it not…” that bit brings me to TEARS.
If you love the rap drop in this song you should listen to Granite and Aqua Regia from this album. Or just start from number 1 and react to every song from Take Me Back To Eden...it's the BEST album of 2023. II's drumming, Vessel's voice and lyrics...are just amazing. Please keep these reactions coming!
One of the BEST BANDS I’ve heard in a long time. Vessel’s voice is HYPNOTIC! Just flawless. The talent in this group is undeniable. The drummer is maaaad skilled!
They're polymorphic metal. They can/do everything. Strongly suggest you watch Drumeo's interview of II. Do Vore! It's got so much going. Just people are turned off by the initial screaming...they forget they're capable of almost all forms of Metal
I just wanna say that I love that we live in a day and age that genre no longer groups ppl up like years ago you had ppl who loved rap/pop/country/rock/metal/RB/Funk/EDM etc and there wasn't widespread mixing between those different genres ppl generally stuck to their particularly style preference but now its like all genres are wide open and all ethnicities are enjoying sooo many different styles of music now! Makes me proud AF to be a musician because I get a front row seat to witness music doing what it was always supposed to be doing, bringing ppl together!❤🎉
I too wonder how this band isn't the biggest thing happening in music. They are gaining momentum and they are headed for stardom. There is a reason for it. Their music is the freshest, most original, and progressive thing produced in a decade.
TMBTE is probably my favourite song on the album, for sure. Vessel's voice is phenomenal, and then that punchy aggressive ending just makes me wanna just throw down! I was lucky enough to bag a ticket last Sept to see them in Manchester and they did not disappoint! Worship.
Absolutely see them live! I saw them for the 4th time at their biggest show in the U.K.s Wembley Arena in December. They’re phenomenal performers. I’d say they sound even better.
This song is a freaking MASTERPIECE. The end makes me go absolutely feral every time, it goes SO HARD. I haven't seen them live yet but it's my DREAM to attend as many of their shows as I can one day. This band is my second favorite, number one is the Swedish metal band Avatar (who I excitingly enough saw in concert again yesterday). Avatar is definitely worth checking out too. Johannes Eckerström (the lead singer) is an absolute powerhouse and a force to be reckoned with. Nothing but sheer raw talent and energy exuding from that guy 🤘👹🤘
So many of their songs are pure rhapsody's. I cannot stop listening. Waiting for the drop and change, hanging on every word and chord. Dying inside of pleasure. Just sheesh.
I just found out about this band by listening to progressive djent at the gym...I am also a musician that love metal as a Spanish dude, but this band is insane I have no idea who they are until today me researching you tube....but wow musicly this band is insane...
As someone who is a singer/songwriter, I first listened to Sleep Token and was blown away. Every line is masterful. I'm so glad to see more people loving them.
I heard of Sleep Token probably last year, but what REALLY set me off was 2's Drumeo episode. I watched that video last week and I've been engulfed by them ever since. So much substance behind their music...I used to think that Tool was the deepest band but now I'm beginning to think that ST has them beat. Such an amazing band.
Vessel had/has a side project called Blacklit Canopy, it's a duo and he sings and plays guitar, there's a live video of Patient where you can see Vessel without his costume back in 2014
My husband is not a fan but let me tell you they take me to another realm. They make me feel every emotion at once. Vessels vocal range is absolutely beautiful. Thank you for this. Never checked out your videos until seeing this and I’m so glad I found you! Thank you! And no he doesn’t show his face and honestly love that he keeps the mystery, some fans hate it but I don’t want to know what he looks like (not that it would change how amazing his voice is BUT I don’t wanna know. Lmao.)
as soon as i read the title the words "this man is not ready to hear this" came to mind I've never gone through a divorce or anything close to the kind of emotions displayed in that song but I still found myself tearing up over it
I’ve seen them live in August 2023 and it was FANTASTIC they perform the same live as their recorded songs! I’m going again in May this year! They have a N.A. Tour for summer!
So excited for your rabbit hole journey on sleep token. No one does any reactions to a beautiful song called Calcutta, earlier EP. but think you'd dig it. Or Bloodsport
This song is one of their absolute best. My husband was on the fence until he heard this song and Rain. Listen, the apparition and ascensionism are both fantastic.
My cheeks hurt from watching your reactions it makes me so happy to watch others fall in love with this amazing band that blows genre off the planet. I love the soft and hard stuff but ive never heard such beautiful lyrics mixed with the drums guitar and bass. Vessel is an intimidating pianist. I dont know why they arent on the radio. You made my morning. 😂 keep groovin 💗✌️🎶🎶
Love seeing the appreciation of this band,they are something so different that noone has never heard before. Vessel is a genius with his words and you are right, his voices pierces through us right to the soul ❤
I LOVE watching people experience Sleep Token for the first time 😭 The word that comes to mind for me when describing Vessel’s voice is OTHERWORLDLY. He’s just unreal lol
Dude, came back to watch your reaction to Sleep Token again. And I see you're so close to 100K!!! Come on people, let's share this and get him there! LET'S GOOOO!!!!💯🔥🤘😝🤘💕✌️
The part where you start gritting your teeth. That was my same reaction but with tears in my eyes when I first heard this song. You got a sub from me brotha.
Sleep Token should be the Biggest band Right Now!! They have already crossed many genres within all they’re albums & singles since 2016 They’re Fn Amazing! & that’s an understatement
The thing a lot of people don’t realize is that Vessel does everything instrumental outside of the drums. 3 and 4 are touring only members. That’s a lot of why everything comes together so well, because it’s mostly just one guy.
What’s great about this song is it’s the end of the album and they loop back around with samples to chokehold which is the first song of the album. Tying it all back together coming full circle. They are elite musicians and so talented.
So excited to see you reacting to this! I’ve been on your TikTok and insta hyping this song for about a month 😅 and hands down agree, “How is this not the biggest band, ever.”
I love watching peoples reactions to vessels voice :) the reactions that come out of people are so funny and honestly genuine. Vessel is god sent with his vocals
First time watching you. Sleep Tolen became my fave band last year. You have to see them live. I’ve been to a lot of concerts and they were the best concert experience of my life. Thanks for this! It was like the first time I heard them!
1:49 "I hope it stays chill the whole way through"
OH HE NOT READY...
hahahaha that was exactly where my head was at too. dude had no idea what he was in for!
Spoiler: it was not chill 😂
@@Nora-di9pw Oh I know 😭
Oh no he isn't
i literally laughed out loud when he said that
Kyle here from Rykerroad. Dude, to see you rewind the rap part was so awesome! Such a solid reaction. Keep up the great work!
Love you and your brothers videos
❤❤❤ RR subscriber here!! Just subbed to DonVon
RYKERROADDDDD
Much love brotha!! lol thank you they killed it! Preciate you watching
Love your content RR!!!!
"How is this not the biggest band on the planet?"
Word, man.
They will be
@@mplevey Eventually...
They're up there with Bad Omens and BMTH, they're blowing up with each album
@@JohnDoe-mv2benever gave them a chance until take me back to Eden. What a mistake that was, but we here now
@@mplevey exactly.. and if any indication can be taken at how fast their next north American tour sold out, it's pretty much solidified.
"Its chill - i hope it stays like that the whole time"

SAME. I love seeing people new too them react to this track. I haven’t hardly put it down since release, and still love going through YT and finding people reacting for the first time too it

That line "I'll take a pound of your flesh before you take a piece of my paystub" is soooo hard
Their song Hypnosis is basically just Vessel flexing his vocals and II flexing his drumming.
Jaws is another like that , the end is low key a drumming masterpiece.
Hypnosis is a beautiful song.
Hypnosis is my favorite
@@tommyjohnson43ii murdered jaws. That's my biggest reason I listen to it. One of the few songs ii outdoes vessel
Vessel flexing vocals and II flexing drums .... 90% of their discography
Aqua Regia is a song that should be played on every radio station.
It's an underrated song.
I agree. One of the best songs ever in my opinion... I mean all of their songs honestly lol
Agree 💯
Aqua Regia is some grade a baby makin music. Love it.
It was my top song on Spotify last year. Absolutely amazing.
It was my top song on Spotify in 2023. Seriously so good!
The best take on Sleep Token I’ve ever heard is ‘I wish I could hear their songs for the first time again’.

Just wait until you hear Ascensionism. That song completely disassembled my brain and then put it all back together again. Great reaction!

Nice reaction. Hearing Sleep Token is almost spiritual. Not a common one people speak of but I absolutely love Atlantic.
Yesssssss! I just started the album TPWBYT and love Atlantic.
@angelal5198 it's epic when they finally drop in the music, so good 👍
Atlantic is great, also a bit underrated imo is Descending

And Vessel writes 100% of every song aside from the drums, which is II's god tier drum creations. The level of talent, skill and intelligence in this band is otherworldly.
you should listen to this whole album, but make sure you listen to Euclid LAST. it genuinely makes the whole thing hit so much harder. worship 🙏🏻
Euclid and give are my two faves atm
Make sure you listen to "the night does not belong to god" BEFORE euclid
Euclid is at the top for me with Are You Really Okay and Atlantic. This band has forever changed me
worship!
Ascensionism has to be soon!!!!
Agree on the "how are they not the biggest band in the world?" ... they have everything to be the biggest band!!
Sleep Token, Dayseeker and Imminence, the three bands with vocalists that everytime they open their mouths, they inspire me, make me got chills
Your face at 5:00 is everything. This song reaches cross genre lines so fucking beautifully.

I've also been around since 2019 and I've *unfortunately* never had the pleasure of seeing them live but, it is what it is :/. their music is reaching a wider audience and that's a good thing. But yeah I do get it
Ascensionism, sugar, the offering, the summoning, higher, dark signs... Man I could go on for days!! Such an amazing band! They have everything
This band gives me GOOSEBUMPS everytime!!!! no other band is similar, they’re just insane!
I remember the first time I heard Sleep Token I instantly fell in love can’t get enough
You must listen to their albums completely. This track references lyrics from past songs, tying it all together. It’s such an experience.
It's like not fair right. How he can sing very very well, can scream, can rap, tall and cool. And here I am smiling while listening to his voice and looking like a potato.
Bro I’ve never heard of them till today and holy hell they’re so good 😮💨
I first discovered them in June and my life hasn’t been the same since, listening to the album song by song will take you through a journey
@@ZeyadAltholoth- Me too! June was a fortuitous month indeed! 😁
This is my most favorite ST song. It’s beautiful. I smile, I grimace, I cry. That slow down with “it goes to show does it not…” that bit brings me to TEARS.
If you love the rap drop in this song you should listen to Granite and Aqua Regia from this album. Or just start from number 1 and react to every song from Take Me Back To Eden...it's the BEST album of 2023. II's drumming, Vessel's voice and lyrics...are just amazing. Please keep these reactions coming!
That scream style is one of the toughest ones to nail brother!
He a beast! 💙
They just go so hard. Constantly! My favorite part of this song is the whole song.
Thank you for giving us this brilliant reaction video. It's been a joy to watch. ❣️ Worship❣️
I love this band so much cuz the shit fuckin moves me like no other thing on this whole earthly existence ❤
One of the BEST BANDS I’ve heard in a long time. Vessel’s voice is HYPNOTIC! Just flawless. The talent in this group is undeniable. The drummer is maaaad skilled!
They're polymorphic metal. They can/do everything. Strongly suggest you watch Drumeo's interview of II.
Do Vore! It's got so much going. Just people are turned off by the initial screaming...they forget they're capable of almost all forms of Metal
stunning voice... love this track
I just wanna say that I love that we live in a day and age that genre no longer groups ppl up like years ago you had ppl who loved rap/pop/country/rock/metal/RB/Funk/EDM etc and there wasn't widespread mixing between those different genres ppl generally stuck to their particularly style preference but now its like all genres are wide open and all ethnicities are enjoying sooo many different styles of music now! Makes me proud AF to be a musician because I get a front row seat to witness music doing what it was always supposed to be doing, bringing ppl together!❤🎉
I too wonder how this band isn't the biggest thing happening in music. They are gaining momentum and they are headed for stardom. There is a reason for it. Their music is the freshest, most original, and progressive thing produced in a decade.
Saw them live. Them with everyone around you feeling the same emotions. It’s a life changing experience. Hope you see them soon my dude
This is my all time favorite reaction to this song 😭😭😭😭💕💕💕
Vessel is just pure emotions just so mich feelings in once it touches my soul so deep. Worship❤
My favorite sleep token song! yaaaas. In behind that, Alkaline. Glad you're diggin it ^_^
TMBTE is probably my favourite song on the album, for sure. Vessel's voice is phenomenal, and then that punchy aggressive ending just makes me wanna just throw down! I was lucky enough to bag a ticket last Sept to see them in Manchester and they did not disappoint!
Worship.
Absolutely see them live! I saw them for the 4th time at their biggest show in the U.K.s Wembley Arena in December. They’re phenomenal performers. I’d say they sound even better.
This song is a freaking MASTERPIECE. The end makes me go absolutely feral every time, it goes SO HARD. I haven't seen them live yet but it's my DREAM to attend as many of their shows as I can one day. This band is my second favorite, number one is the Swedish metal band Avatar (who I excitingly enough saw in concert again yesterday). Avatar is definitely worth checking out too. Johannes Eckerström (the lead singer) is an absolute powerhouse and a force to be reckoned with. Nothing but sheer raw talent and energy exuding from that guy 🤘👹🤘
So many of their songs are pure rhapsody's. I cannot stop listening. Waiting for the drop and change, hanging on every word and chord. Dying inside of pleasure. Just sheesh.
I never even notice how long this song is because I love it so much
I just found out about this band by listening to progressive djent at the gym...I am also a musician that love metal as a Spanish dude, but this band is insane I have no idea who they are until today me researching you tube....but wow musicly this band is insane...
As someone who is a singer/songwriter, I first listened to Sleep Token and was blown away. Every line is masterful. I'm so glad to see more people loving them.
An all around beautiful song by them with no screaming is 100% "Granite". Granite is my number 1, Take me Back to Eden is a very close second though.
I heard of Sleep Token probably last year, but what REALLY set me off was 2's Drumeo episode. I watched that video last week and I've been engulfed by them ever since. So much substance behind their music...I used to think that Tool was the deepest band but now I'm beginning to think that ST has them beat. Such an amazing band.
Vessel had/has a side project called Blacklit Canopy, it's a duo and he sings and plays guitar, there's a live video of Patient where you can see Vessel without his costume back in 2014
It was the innocent, "how can be do both of those" for me. Love seeing everyone who is reacting to sleep token for the first time. 💜
My husband is not a fan but let me tell you they take me to another realm. They make me feel every emotion at once. Vessels vocal range is absolutely beautiful. Thank you for this. Never checked out your videos until seeing this and I’m so glad I found you! Thank you!
And no he doesn’t show his face and honestly love that he keeps the mystery, some fans hate it but I don’t want to know what he looks like (not that it would change how amazing his voice is BUT I don’t wanna know. Lmao.)
as soon as i read the title the words "this man is not ready to hear this" came to mind I've never gone through a divorce or anything close to the kind of emotions displayed in that song but I still found myself tearing up over it
I’ve seen them live in August 2023 and it was FANTASTIC they perform the same live as their recorded songs! I’m going again in May this year! They have a N.A. Tour for summer!
I’m going too! Can’t wait to see them!
So excited for your rabbit hole journey on sleep token. No one does any reactions to a beautiful song called Calcutta, earlier EP. but think you'd dig it. Or Bloodsport
This was the first Sleep Token song I ever heard and I fell in LOVE right away! I need to see them live.
This song is one of their absolute best. My husband was on the fence until he heard this song and Rain. Listen, the apparition and ascensionism are both fantastic.
I absolutely love this song!
My cheeks hurt from watching your reactions it makes me so happy to watch others fall in love with this amazing band that blows genre off the planet. I love the soft and hard stuff but ive never heard such beautiful lyrics mixed with the drums guitar and bass. Vessel is an intimidating pianist. I dont know why they arent on the radio. You made my morning. 😂 keep groovin 💗✌️🎶🎶
Love seeing the appreciation of this band,they are something so different that noone has never heard before.
Vessel is a genius with his words and you are right, his voices pierces through us right to the soul ❤
They are INCREDIBLE live.
Worship!
The best description of Sleep Token I’ve heard is that they perform every lyric like it’s its own song.
Also highly recommend having the lyrics pulled up as well. Vessel is an amazing lyricist
I LOVE watching people experience Sleep Token for the first time 😭
The word that comes to mind for me when describing Vessel’s voice is OTHERWORLDLY. He’s just unreal lol
Dude, came back to watch your reaction to Sleep Token again. And I see you're so close to 100K!!! Come on people, let's share this and get him there! LET'S GOOOO!!!!💯🔥🤘😝🤘💕✌️
As soon as you highlight my comment on tiktok saying this was finally up I bolted over! The perfect reaction to a perfect song.
The part where you start gritting your teeth. That was my same reaction but with tears in my eyes when I first heard this song. You got a sub from me brotha.
Sleep Token should be the Biggest band Right Now!!
They have already crossed many genres within all they’re albums & singles since 2016
They’re Fn Amazing! & that’s an understatement
The thing a lot of people don’t realize is that Vessel does everything instrumental outside of the drums. 3 and 4 are touring only members. That’s a lot of why everything comes together so well, because it’s mostly just one guy.
Sleep Token is my favorite genre of music.
You right how is this band not the biggest in the world every song is a hit they know how to put a piece together
What’s great about this song is it’s the end of the album and they loop back around with samples to chokehold which is the first song of the album. Tying it all back together coming full circle. They are elite musicians and so talented.
In my world, Sleep Token is the biggest band! WORSHIP!! 🫶
So excited to see you reacting to this! I’ve been on your TikTok and insta hyping this song for about a month 😅 and hands down agree, “How is this not the biggest band, ever.”
The way I describe Vessel's voice is heavenly
Worship. Enjoy the ride
I love watching peoples reactions to vessels voice :) the reactions that come out of people are so funny and honestly genuine. Vessel is god sent with his vocals
First time watching you.
Sleep Tolen became my fave band last year. You have to see them live. I’ve been to a lot of concerts and they were the best concert experience of my life. Thanks for this! It was like the first time I heard them!
Honestly listening to sleep token is an experience everyone should experience. I absolutely adore them. Worship.
I’ve been waiting on you to do this reaction because this song really shows how diverse and well rounded these guys are. A beautifully composed piece.
