My parents are old rockers but they’re not a fan of screaming in music. I played my mum a few tracks, she went away and listened to the whole album, she fell in love with it. She’s nearly 70. 😂
"Life is dark. Life is bright. Life is ugly. Life is beautiful. Don't get lost in genres they'll only disorientate you. Music is for everyone." -Sleep Token
The song Euclide (probably spelled it wrong).. but that song got me good. My girlfriend thought something was wrong lol. Nope just hit me in the feels.
This is the first song I heard from the 2nd part of their TMBTE album. It just disintegrated me. Jaw to the floor, tears in my eyes, and I had to take a walk. Couldn't listen to one more song of them because I was too overwhelmed. You felt it too. don't you? Years of emotions packed into a 7 minute song.
Yes indeed, I felt it! I didn't think there would be a video of me crying on the channel within a couple of weeks of me posting videos 😂 but here we are, the song destroyed me a bit!
@@BraindeadBreakdown I highly suggest listening to Euclid. It kind of destroys you but puts all those pieces back together again. Sleep Token truly are something special.
This reaction is so perfect, my friend. This is what really, really good music does - it makes us feel something. When it's this profound, it hits with a lot of force and it was a privilege to be able to watch you have that raw experience, and Christ, it takes a lot of guts to share that with the world so mad, mad respect to you for that alone. This band is special to a lot of us because of this exact feeling. Trust me, you're among people who absolutely understand what you just experienced. It's like the Sleep Token rite of passage. I'm excited to see where this journey takes you!
I am glad you enjoyed the reaction! I am also happy at the response the video had, I was quite nervous to post it initially. Strap in for the ride, I have a feeling it is going to be a great but bumpy one when it comes to Sleep Token!
Sleep token is such a gift. I cherish the day I found them. Their music hits me hard as fuck. They are so refreshing. Style wise and such masters of their craft.
I’ve never understood & I’ve always felt bad for people who do not feel music the way you have experienced here in this reaction video 😕 I like to watch these music reaction videos because it’s a way to vicariously experience the song for the first time again 😌😘
I love watching your videos. Never apologize for being sensitive or having deep feelings. If not for these human traits, we wouldn’t have Sleep Token. Worship.
Love your reaction, this is exactly how I felt when I first heard this song. I had to keep pausing it and just stare at the wall lol. When you get it, you get it and Sleep Token will make sure you feel all of it.
Watching Ascensionism live this year was everything! A purge of frustration and emotions stored for years. It was beautiful sharing it with other diehard fans. 🤘🙏
I saw them in September and thought it would be Ascensionism that took me out. I was dumbfounded, though, when Vessel played the opening notes of Atlantic and I burst into tears. Literally just sobbed for 5 minutes straight while I purged my thoughts and emotions. Seeing them live was easily one of my greatest life experiences.
It’s my favorite Sleep Token song. It’s when more perfect live….and don’t feel ashamed about it making you emotional. Music does the same thing to me. I own it.
im so pleased so find a person who feel sleep token art that deep like i do. seldom did i see here reaction like yours. people likes to just vibe and enjoy their music but never to get their eyes fill with tears. i appreciate your trust and sincerity. thank you.
Thank you for watching, I am glad you enjoyed it! There is a whole playlist of Sleep Token Reactions on my channel if you are interested? This song (and comments) inspired me to take a look at them in chronological order 😊
@@BraindeadBreakdown yeah, im literally going through their art again and again but now im doing it with you, good company though. please, do not miss their cover on the song «is that really you» by loathe, it is insane, hope youd like it too!
I will do my best, I am going through as best I can. If I end up missing anything, I will circle round to it at the end! I hope you enjoy the company 😊
Sleep Token became my favorite band this year. I’ve just been continuously blown away and touched by their music. Cried to quite a few of their songs myself. Vessel has a way of bringing emotions to the front stage in a beautiful way. And don’t even get me started on how good their drummer is!! 😂😂 Loved your honesty and reaction to Sleep Token! Their music will take you all over the map in the best ways.
Thank you for coming and sharing the experience with me, I am glad you enjoyed it! More Sleep Token videos are coming to the channel for sure! (Starting today at 5pm UK time)
Glad you really liked it man! This band is the best in the world imo. You should have the lyrics pulled up while you're running through their songs. Every single one of their songs is an emotional lyrical masterpiece
I have thought about that, I would have to try really hard not to get ahead of the song though 😂 I am starting to think it is necessary though, in cases like this it may be hard to figure them out past a certain point.
@@BraindeadBreakdown the trade off will be worth it. Sometimes he speaks in lots of metaphors and being able to follow along by reading the lyrics I personally think is very helpful
Their music is very emotional and at times the beauty and alignment moves me to tears as well brother. It’s just an ode to their artistry. If you really want to catch the feels wait til you hear “blood sport” the room below. It is intense tragic beauty! ::big hug:: from a fellow music lover
Another few beautiful songs are “give”, “drag me under, and “Jericho” is an oldie early stuff but is gorgeous A. mazing heavy songs include “hypnosis”, “the offering” , “higher”, and “gods”, and “high water”
9:42 As someone raised in a musical household, this moment is SO satisfying; it has a similar sort of thematic resolution as the end of Bach's cello prelude. ❤
The thing I love about Sleep Token is their use of genres to create the different emotions they want to portray through a song and it literally does feel like a rollercoaster. I also think the masks help with someone showing their vulnerability, which Vessel is a master at. It’s not a surprise to see so many people, like yourself, feel that vulnerability too. There’s been such a stigma regarding men showing emotions , which isn’t a good thing in my opinion, that I have nothing but praise for anyone, particularly a man, openly expressing it, as hopefully others will see it as an actual strength in character, which it is, not a weakness. Great reaction! 😊
Sleep Token has that effect on people 😊. Their music is so good and takes you through a gamut of emotions. Vessel is a genius! FACT!! You never know what you are going to get from song to song. Thats the beauty of Sleep Token! They can do it all. Glad you're going down the Rabbit hole..... can't wait to see you react to more. ❤ Worship ❤
@@BraindeadBreakdown might want to have some tissues ready for Blood Sport ( both the album version and the other From The Room Below) Emotional rollercoaster for sure. 😊 I've never really heard a band like ST before and they are so good the more you hear the more you want to listen. You already experienced how they can make a 7-minute song seem short lol. You just get so engrossed into the music that it just carries you away and time does not mean anything. Looking forward to some more, I know you're going to enjoy all of it!
I HATE making this comparison, but Vessel is the Taylor Swift for metal heads. He perfectly encapsulates every emotion in just one song. And it's in each and every song. The lyricism, the overall construction, production. It's fucking incredible. Leo (opps) is a musical genius. He'll take you high, low, high, and low again and ending it with an even bigger high. I hope this band gets the true recognition that they truly deserve
I have thought this in my head multiples times but haven't wanted to say it 😂 for me it isn't because of the song writing though (I am not hugely familiar with her work) it is because of the fans! Sleep Token fans are very devoted to their favourite artist just like Swifties are and it is honestly refreshing to see in this area of music!
Looks like Sleep's got another one, folks. Welcome. There seems to be a point with this band (unless you immediately hate it) that you just ~get it~. I could tell from your smile in the Back to Eden video you were on the path, but I see the switch flipped here. If you like an emotional journey, oh boy is this is the band for you. If you're wondering where to start, I'd start at the beginning with EPs 1 and 2 and carry on through the albums in order - this gives the most emotional payoff as a fan. But if you want a fast fix, you could begin with the latest Take Me Back to Eden album from the beginning but don't listen to the last song (Euclid) until you've listened to all the other tracks on all three albums. The albums are intended as a trilogy, and that song is somewhat of a series finale for all three albums. 🙏
Thank you very much, I will take that advice! I don't necessarily know if I will do reactions to every single one but I will definitely document the journey to a certain extent. I will try to do them in order from now on too 😄
@@BraindeadBreakdown I will say that I would watch you react to all of their songs if you did. This is the only band that I can say I legitimately would rate every song they have AT LEAST and 8. Hell even some of their songs on the first two EPS are my favorites. They've killed it from the start.
Sleep Token has a way to make you feel so so much even just the music without the lyrics you can hear a story being told 🖤🙌 beautiful reaction thank you for being vulnerable
This was the first song to ever put tears in my eyes on a first listen, it’ll always hold a special place in my heart. It wasn’t even because of how emotional of a song it is, instead I was just so shocked that my body had no idea what else to do
If music makes you feel when you don’t want to, then they’re doing it right. I cry more because of music more than anything else. It helps open me up when I try to stay closed.
Thank you for showing your raw emotions. This band in particular does the same thing to me. It does not matter how many times I listen, I still ugly cry. Another one you should check out is Euclid! Though having the background knowledge from the previous albums will make it even better, I guarantee it will bring you to tears as well. You have a new sub too! ❤
❤I loved your reaction, It was so close to mine. Tears aside (I also had many), there were moments that you had a look, a soft smile, like everything fell together, like it all finally made sense, like you understood and agreed. I had that too. And what you said about combining music is right on point. Thank you for sharing this. I'm a fan😊
Subscribed just because of this reaction. I will admit my husband had this band on in the background at times before I knew who they were and it just didn’t click for me. One day I decided I would just listen start to finish of the TMBTE album and was instantly hooked. This was only a few months ago and now I legit listen to all three albums almost every single day. I just can never get enough. Hands down best music I’ve ever heard in my life. They do something for me that music has never done before. Worship 🙏🏻
Definitely! Looking forward to it! I definitely think you should start from the first album and go in order. The three albums are apart of a trilogy and it’s truly amazing.
@@Lauren__M I am going in order, don't worry! 😊 The videos for "One" are already up on the channel and the videos for "Two" will be going up over the next few days. No spoilers though 😂
Choke hold hit me out of the blue this summer.l, a but like this. I then downloaded the album and sat up from sun down to sun up listening to it. I did not go to sleep, ironically. I played it over and over and over... Paused to listen to the June dawn chorus, drank coffee and put it on again.
Music that moves you! Yesssss! I didn’t think I would ever fall this hard for a band and their music again. I only found about them this year and immediately went down the rabbit hole. I too am a soppy bastard! Found myself crying, again, just this morning, for the umpteenth time, to High Water. Damn!
Wow, what a reaction! I had a feeling from your reaction to TMBTE that you'd like this one, but had no idea it would move you so much! From what you have disclosed about liking genre blending music and emotional songs, I think you will quickly discover that that is what Sleep Token are all about! Stay safe 🤘 ✌️
I couldnt decide whst to do with my extra hour but the Gods and the YT algorithm recommended you. Like That, I'm hooked. Your reaction to this song was what so many of us felt that first time. They've become my favorite, my playlist is all their original songs. So many of us fans have found comfort in the music. I credit ST for helping heal wounds i has resigned myself to never have heal. The lyrics, musical composition, production and genre blending soothes souls. Now, I'm off to watch more of your reactions. Worship 🖤
Thank you for choosing to spend your extra hour watching me! I hope you find more to your liking 😊 I am so glad that Sleep Token were recommended to me!
This song hits me harder every time i listen to. Sleep Token became my favorite band in march when they release The Summoning and with each release (and the oldest too) i consume it all the songs every day til now. thank you for reaction ♥
I absolutely love seeing that this got you on an emotional level. I cried through the whole album, not just for the lyrical content, but the musical composition. I love it! I am a new subscriber of yours and can't wait to see you go through the whole Sleep Token discography! Their entire body of work evoked this reaction from me. Cheers!!
Thank you! Don't worry, I already have 😊 you will find it under the playlists section of my channel. I hope you enjoy them! Unfortunately I started with Take me back to eden and Ascensionism before going back to the start. But from there they are in order.
The raw emotion in your reaction is beautiful. You validated my own feelings for me. This is the first video of yours I’ve seen and you’ve got a new subscriber. I’m glad you posted this and want to Thank You! Sleep Token doesn’t create a song they create an experience in every single one of their masterpieces. When a song is 7 minutes long and you want more you know your life has changed. The rabbit hole is welcoming and amazing.
Thank you very much! This was only the 2nd ST video I posted and I have been on a journey since then! 😂 The comments on the video definitely helped validate my feelings towards the song. I was scared to post it initially but now realize it was a good idea 😊
I have just been on my Sleep Token journey which is why I found your channel. Your reaction is so honest, excitable & emotional just as my first Ascension to this incredibly talented band. I hope your journey & Vessel inspires you to achieve your music dream. Maybe he is just the person you have been looking for. Be inspired & go for it. New subscriber here x
I am glad you enjoyed watching, thank you! It seems a lot of people have found solace on Sleep Token 🙂 if it helps, there is a playlist that has all the videos in order.
Man you got me going! I’m so similar with music, music releases my emotions. Please do a reaction on every song from the album, your journey into their music is similar to mine and I’m enjoying watching your journey. Stay safe dude 😎👊🏻
Thank for watching and commenting! I will be doing Sleep Token reactions chronologically from now on! The first video goes up today at 5pm UK time with "Thread the Needle." I hope you enjoy the future videos should you decide to watch them!
Hey man, just got here. Really enjoyed your reaction and personal input. It’s clear you absolutely love music. You earned a sub, buddy. Can’t wait to check out more. 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Now that this one has prepared me, that one might not effect me as much. Just because I know what I'm in for with this band now. We will certainly see though!
Thank you for taking the time to get this reaction up and the courage it took to upload it! Just subbed and looking forward to more bro. If at all possible: do not react to Euclid until you’ve been through everything else they have. It’ll be worth it.
Thank you for taking the time to watch, comment and sub! It means a lot, I am still early in the journey. Don't worry though, I am going to do them chronologically from now on 🙂
You say that now, wait a day. I have a short going up tomorrow where a police siren interrupts a video recording. Let's just say I had a very unwholesome reaction 😂
In case you are unaware, this album is the final part of a trilogy. To get the full effect of what ST can do to your emotions, you should stop doing the tracks from this album and go back to the start of the first album, Sundowning. Dude, this is one long trip and by the time you get to the last track on Take me back to Eden, you ugly cry. But without the last track is great, but you won't appreciate it half as much as doing the 3 albums. Dig in dude. You're going to need some emotional armour for trip. Worship and enjoy
I consider very few albums as a whole to be "masterpieces". U2's "Joshua Tree". Steven Wilson's "Hand, Cannot. Erase." Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon". Beck's "Sea Change". TMBTE has unapologetically shoved its way onto that list. It is absolutely a masterpiece, IMO. Thanks for reacting to Sleep Token, from one soppy bastard to another. :)
Just subscribed to the channel brother! This song got its hooks in me and made me a fan of Sleep Token too. 😊 Since you enjoy hip hop, I wonder if you have ever listened to NF? His music is SO, so emotional and heartfelt (sometimes heartbreaking), but if you listen to his major songs in order they tell a story of his life. People often refer to this as "The Journey." Personally I would freaking LOVE to see you react to NF The Search, or just start at Intro 1 and enjoy! Keep it up man!
Thank you for the sub! I have not heard of them, I am not massively into hip hop, I just appreciate it. My brother is the hip hop head, I have considered a dual reaction series where he introduces me to hip hop songs! But that is up to him 🙂
I highly suggest just starting from the beginning and working your way through their first EPs and then all three albums…it’s a rollercoaster of a ride and a very emotional one at that! Make sure to watch the ones that have music videos because for a few of them, it’s very important, in my opinion! Definitely do not react to Euclid until you have finished all three albums..I understand your reaction 100%…music is the universal language and Sleep Token speaks volumes..hell, they scream! I’m very much an empath, or whatever you want to call it, and music makes me extremely emotional…I form an insanely strong bond to songs that speak to me and I will play them over and over and never get sick of them…I’m sure it drives my husband crazy 😂 He’s a musician, but it hits him differently.
This is the path I have taken with reactions now. All videos up until the end of "Two" are now up on the channel. Thank you for coming and watching and thank you for your comment! 🙂
Dude if you want hip hop and metal perfectly blended, look up BxMxC by Babymetal. Another big group like Sleep Token who have taken the helm of eradicating genre in the metal scene.
Great reaction. only criticism i have is, the audio levels for the music are way too low. I have pretty good headphones and its very low, id up the sound from the video a little bit
Very happy with the reaction .. I’m a new fan of this group but it’s definitely a standout .. I also love genre mixing .. one critique I must make, I can hear you breathing on mic way too much .. kinda takes me out of it
Oh brother! 🥹 (I wanna call you bruv but I’m American so idk if it’s chill HOWEVER) my earnest feelings are love and hugs. I’ll be honest gently, I wasn’t sure how you were feeling at first. Thought “fuck well I reckon most folk don’t know how I feel taking in new music,” wanted to scroll, didn’t, and I’m so wholeheartedly grateful I didn’t. Music is the best as you say. Subscribed. And a guaranteed hug if you ever find yourself in Southern Utah ❤❤❤
Thank you very much my friend! Bruv is fine but usually I reserve "bruv" for my actual brothers, I am more of a "dude" man myself 😂 Thank you for not scrolling, I am glad you enjoyed the video! I hope you enjoy more in the future 😊
Update:
I played this for my older brother who is into Rap and Hip-Hop and he playlisted it within 4 minutes. WIN!
My parents are old rockers but they’re not a fan of screaming in music. I played my mum a few tracks, she went away and listened to the whole album, she fell in love with it. She’s nearly 70. 😂
@@StuC84 I have a feeling my mum would love it too and she is 62! 🤣
Great
I will NEVER tire of watching Vessel make grown men cry
There is plenty of that in this channel! 😂

Thank you for showing your raw emotions. This band in particular does the same thing to me. It does not matter how many times I listen, I still ugly cry. Another one you should check out is Euclid! Though having the background knowledge from the previous albums will make it even better, I guarantee it will bring you to tears as well. You have a new sub too! ❤
Great reaction. Can’t go wrong with anything from them
❤I loved your reaction, It was so close to mine. Tears aside (I also had many), there were moments that you had a look, a soft smile, like everything fell together, like it all finally made sense, like you understood and agreed. I had that too. And what you said about combining music is right on point. Thank you for sharing this. I'm a fan😊
Thank you very much for watching, I am glad that you enjoyed it! The Sleep Token journey was amazing from start to finish, I love them!
I'm with you, mate..this song had me in tears more than I can remember. Exceptional band! Instant like and sub! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
I totally understand.. sleep token takes you places
Welcome.
Worship!
Subscribed just because of this reaction. I will admit my husband had this band on in the background at times before I knew who they were and it just didn’t click for me. One day I decided I would just listen start to finish of the TMBTE album and was instantly hooked. This was only a few months ago and now I legit listen to all three albums almost every single day. I just can never get enough. Hands down best music I’ve ever heard in my life. They do something for me that music has never done before. Worship 🙏🏻
I bet you are so glad you did listen to it properly! I know I am now. Thank you so much for the subscription, I hope you enjoy the trip with me 😊
Definitely! Looking forward to it! I definitely think you should start from the first album and go in order. The three albums are apart of a trilogy and it’s truly amazing.
@@Lauren__M I am going in order, don't worry! 😊 The videos for "One" are already up on the channel and the videos for "Two" will be going up over the next few days. No spoilers though 😂
Choke hold hit me out of the blue this summer.l, a but like this. I then downloaded the album and sat up from sun down to sun up listening to it. I did not go to sleep, ironically. I played it over and over and over... Paused to listen to the June dawn chorus, drank coffee and put it on again.
They have got a hold of me too man! I haven't got back to this album yet though because I am doing reactions to every song 1 by 1 in order 😂
Music that moves you! Yesssss! I didn’t think I would ever fall this hard for a band and their music again. I only found about them this year and immediately went down the rabbit hole. I too am a soppy bastard! Found myself crying, again, just this morning, for the umpteenth time, to High Water. Damn!
I have showed this song to a couple of people now and they both had a similar reaction! Thank you for watching 🙂
Hearing the British accent in their work really drew me in. ii interviews are the same even with a voice synthesizer.
Wow, what a reaction! I had a feeling from your reaction to TMBTE that you'd like this one, but had no idea it would move you so much! From what you have disclosed about liking genre blending music and emotional songs, I think you will quickly discover that that is what Sleep Token are all about! Stay safe 🤘 ✌️
I was not expecting that kind of reaction myself, it took me by surprise for sure! I am hooked now, they got me good.
Keep the journey going. This band is so special.
I couldnt decide whst to do with my extra hour but the Gods and the YT algorithm recommended you. Like That, I'm hooked. Your reaction to this song was what so many of us felt that first time. They've become my favorite, my playlist is all their original songs. So many of us fans have found comfort in the music.
I credit ST for helping heal wounds i has resigned myself to never have heal. The lyrics, musical composition, production and genre blending soothes souls. Now, I'm off to watch more of your reactions. Worship 🖤
Thank you for choosing to spend your extra hour watching me! I hope you find more to your liking 😊
I am so glad that Sleep Token were recommended to me!
@BraindeadBreakdown I'm still listening. I won't make it all the way thru tonight but I'll get there.
Your emotions are beautiful. Never stop being a soppy bastard.
I couldn't stop if I tried! 😂
Thank you for being so open, so honest with your reaction. liked and subscribed immediately. I became a fan after one song. I get it.Worship.
This song hits me harder every time i listen to. Sleep Token became my favorite band in march when they release The Summoning and with each release (and the oldest too) i consume it all the songs every day til now. thank you for reaction ♥
Thank you for watching! I am happy you enjoyed it! 😊 The song hit me pretty hard too
Worship.
I absolutely love seeing that this got you on an emotional level. I cried through the whole album, not just for the lyrical content, but the musical composition. I love it! I am a new subscriber of yours and can't wait to see you go through the whole Sleep Token discography! Their entire body of work evoked this reaction from me. Cheers!!
Thank you for your subscription! I really hope you enjoy coming along for the ride as much as I have been enjoying taking it! 😊
You sound JUST like III when he talks, it’s crazy!
Please put together a playlist of just your ST reactions- your reactions to this music and how you're approaching your journey with them is awesome.
Thank you! Don't worry, I already have 😊 you will find it under the playlists section of my channel. I hope you enjoy them! Unfortunately I started with Take me back to eden and Ascensionism before going back to the start. But from there they are in order.
The raw emotion in your reaction is beautiful. You validated my own feelings for me. This is the first video of yours I’ve seen and you’ve got a new subscriber. I’m glad you posted this and want to Thank You! Sleep Token doesn’t create a song they create an experience in every single one of their masterpieces. When a song is 7 minutes long and you want more you know your life has changed. The rabbit hole is welcoming and amazing.
Thank you very much! This was only the 2nd ST video I posted and I have been on a journey since then! 😂 The comments on the video definitely helped validate my feelings towards the song. I was scared to post it initially but now realize it was a good idea 😊
This song gives me chills every time ❤️ Sleep token #worship 🖤
Absolutely the best reaction to Sleep token
Thank you 😂
I have just been on my Sleep Token journey which is why I found your channel. Your reaction is so honest, excitable & emotional just as my first Ascension to this incredibly talented band. I hope your journey & Vessel inspires you to achieve your music dream. Maybe he is just the person you have been looking for. Be inspired & go for it. New subscriber here x
I am glad you enjoyed watching, thank you! It seems a lot of people have found solace on Sleep Token 🙂 if it helps, there is a playlist that has all the videos in order.
I loved seeing this, instant subscribe. Sleep Token really Does That to people. So glad to see you going down the rabbit hole 💜
Thank you for the sub! I am pretty deep into the rabbit hole now! 😂
Wonderful reaction! New sub with this one!
Thank you for subbing! 😊
Honest reaction my friend, they make me bring out something in me too, just magical 😍
Thanks for sharing bruv! That was a great reaction
Thank you for watching, I am glad you enjoyed it!
My favourite song ever ❤
Man you got me going! I’m so similar with music, music releases my emotions. Please do a reaction on every song from the album, your journey into their music is similar to mine and I’m enjoying watching your journey. Stay safe dude 😎👊🏻
Thank for watching and commenting! I will be doing Sleep Token reactions chronologically from now on! The first video goes up today at 5pm UK time with "Thread the Needle." I hope you enjoy the future videos should you decide to watch them!
Hey man, just got here. Really enjoyed your reaction and personal input. It’s clear you absolutely love music. You earned a sub, buddy. Can’t wait to check out more. 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Thank you for the sub! I hope you find plenty to enjoy on the channel 🙂🤘
If this one gotcha emotional 🗣️Dont listen to “Are You really okay?” 😉
Now that this one has prepared me, that one might not effect me as much. Just because I know what I'm in for with this band now. We will certainly see though!
Never be ashamed to show emotion. Emotions are our indicator that we're alive and feel things.
Thank you for taking the time to get this reaction up and the courage it took to upload it! Just subbed and looking forward to more bro.
If at all possible: do not react to Euclid until you’ve been through everything else they have. It’ll be worth it.
Thank you for taking the time to watch, comment and sub! It means a lot, I am still early in the journey. Don't worry though, I am going to do them chronologically from now on 🙂
Most wholesome UA-camr alive, you’re the best sir!
You say that now, wait a day. I have a short going up tomorrow where a police siren interrupts a video recording. Let's just say I had a very unwholesome reaction 😂
Good reaction 👍
If you get a chance to listen to Nazareth by Sleep Token I'd love to see that video!
I have already done Nazareth, it is on the channel along with a playlist of the Sleep Tokek videos in order 🙂
In case you are unaware, this album is the final part of a trilogy. To get the full effect of what ST can do to your emotions, you should stop doing the tracks from this album and go back to the start of the first album, Sundowning.
Dude, this is one long trip and by the time you get to the last track on Take me back to Eden, you ugly cry. But without the last track is great, but you won't appreciate it half as much as doing the 3 albums. Dig in dude. You're going to need some emotional armour for trip.
Worship and enjoy
I am already doing this, there is a playlist on the channel if you would like to follow along? We are nearly at the end of Sundowning now 😊
I consider very few albums as a whole to be "masterpieces". U2's "Joshua Tree". Steven Wilson's "Hand, Cannot. Erase." Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon". Beck's "Sea Change". TMBTE has unapologetically shoved its way onto that list. It is absolutely a masterpiece, IMO. Thanks for reacting to Sleep Token, from one soppy bastard to another. :)
Love your reactions!!
Not sure if you have heard them, but if you like genre merging, check out Zeal and Ardor, they mix blues with black metal and it works so well.
That sounds like an amazing combination! 🙂
Welcome to the ST doom figure party my friend! 🙏💜🎶🙌😊
Just subscribed to the channel brother! This song got its hooks in me and made me a fan of Sleep Token too. 😊 Since you enjoy hip hop, I wonder if you have ever listened to NF? His music is SO, so emotional and heartfelt (sometimes heartbreaking), but if you listen to his major songs in order they tell a story of his life. People often refer to this as "The Journey." Personally I would freaking LOVE to see you react to NF The Search, or just start at Intro 1 and enjoy! Keep it up man!
Thank you for the sub! I have not heard of them, I am not massively into hip hop, I just appreciate it. My brother is the hip hop head, I have considered a dual reaction series where he introduces me to hip hop songs! But that is up to him 🙂
Subscribed!!! You are awesome!
Thank you very much for the subscription!
I highly suggest just starting from the beginning and working your way through their first EPs and then all three albums…it’s a rollercoaster of a ride and a very emotional one at that! Make sure to watch the ones that have music videos because for a few of them, it’s very important, in my opinion! Definitely do not react to Euclid until you have finished all three albums..I understand your reaction 100%…music is the universal language and Sleep Token speaks volumes..hell, they scream! I’m very much an empath, or whatever you want to call it, and music makes me extremely emotional…I form an insanely strong bond to songs that speak to me and I will play them over and over and never get sick of them…I’m sure it drives my husband crazy 😂 He’s a musician, but it hits him differently.
This is the path I have taken with reactions now. All videos up until the end of "Two" are now up on the channel. Thank you for coming and watching and thank you for your comment! 🙂
@@BraindeadBreakdownwatching them now! 🙌🏻
Wait till you listen to Euclid....that one will hit hard
Yeah, a few people have warned me about that one.
dude I'm with you
Dude if you want hip hop and metal perfectly blended, look up BxMxC by Babymetal. Another big group like Sleep Token who have taken the helm of eradicating genre in the metal scene.
I have heard Babymetal before, they were not for me at all 😂 sorry about that!
Blending linkin park breaking Benjamin with slaughter or Lorna shore 8:08
I came all the way back to the start before watching Eculd. Your Rain/TMBTE hit me hard so I wanted to see your progression before Eculd.
Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy watching through my ST journey! It was an amazing one to go on and I am so glad that I took it! 😁
Great reaction. only criticism i have is, the audio levels for the music are way too low. I have pretty good headphones and its very low, id up the sound from the video a little bit
Thank you for watching, this was an early video. I have since tweaked the levels.
Very happy with the reaction .. I’m a new fan of this group but it’s definitely a standout .. I also love genre mixing .. one critique I must make, I can hear you breathing on mic way too much .. kinda takes me out of it
Sorry about that, I have been trying to improve my production skills. Hopefully in the future that isn't an issue you have to deal with!
Apparition next my man.
After this video I started going in order, I will get there eventually 🙂
Good call, Euclid (last song on TMBTE) will hit you harder that way.
Oh brother! 🥹 (I wanna call you bruv but I’m American so idk if it’s chill HOWEVER) my earnest feelings are love and hugs. I’ll be honest gently, I wasn’t sure how you were feeling at first. Thought “fuck well I reckon most folk don’t know how I feel taking in new music,” wanted to scroll, didn’t, and I’m so wholeheartedly grateful I didn’t. Music is the best as you say. Subscribed. And a guaranteed hug if you ever find yourself in Southern Utah ❤❤❤
Thank you very much my friend! Bruv is fine but usually I reserve "bruv" for my actual brothers, I am more of a "dude" man myself 😂 Thank you for not scrolling, I am glad you enjoyed the video! I hope you enjoy more in the future 😊
It’s funny you sound just like the bassist from sleep token whenever the bassist talks on stage I’ve notice you sound just like him 😅
A few people have said I sound like III as well 😂 I wouldn't know as I haven't seen them talk!
