Let’s not sleep on the guitarist who kills it with his back up screams during live performances
I kind of want a version with IV’s scream in it
Have you seen them live? I would say it's vessel thats the back up when it comes tovthe screams
@@wrathfangehh not really, vessel does the highs which is every bit as audible as IV’s lows. Imo anyway
@@wrathfang vessel may have on the album but of the couple live vids of rain it’s iv doing the “rain down on me” scream so vessel can continue the chorus.
@@sgtkrugerI agree, as iv also starts one of the screams in The Summoning so that Vessel can finish off what he’s doing before joining in and ending it.
The way his cadence and the instrumentation hits with the line “I’m coiled up like a venomous serpent," just hooked me, absolute phenomenal track!
When Vessel II hits that double on the China right before that line it’s just pure bliss. Unbelievably tight musicians.
Agreed. Hes so deliberate with every piece. The way he places his consonants, the way he warps word pronunciation, the way he layers music. It's not common in music these days and god it HOOKS you
Your intros and outros = 🤌
You're the only reaction channel focused on the music and production details.
I love watching you for production analysis, and there's another reactor I love watching for lyrical analysis.
Don't change!
At some point, you should take a look at the lyrics through Sundowning, This Place Will Become Your Tomb, and Take Me Back to Eden. Highly recommend doing that before listening to Euclid.
When I saw them in Dallas, he began Rain on the keys doing a nice little solo on his own and then it kicks right into it. And then of course it has one of the hardest drops of the night when that guitar and bass hit. Then everybody is clapping and chanting throughout the rest of the song. It was great!
That’s awesome!
I don't know how every radio station in the world isn't playing this song every few hours. That halftime pre-chorus is so good and the whole thing is a massive earworm. If it was possible to listen to dessert, this would be it.
Vessel is a GENIUS! he writes, composes, sings, does the vocals, produces the songs and plays the piano.. ITS AMAZING!
You missed out plays bass and guitar too! 😊
When it fully drops in man, fully body melt mode!!! Plus II's fill runs on this one oooof I could live those lol
Haha yup!
One thing to note is that the line "wash the salt from my hands" is a call back to Atlantic where he says "Wash away the blood on my hands"
For so long I have waited...😉
feeling like a stoic statue waiting for this release!!! DROP IT ALREADYYYYYYY
But i... finally think I can saaayyy.. that I'm ready for this reaction 😂
Ba dum tiss
Took me long enough lol!
@@oldstonerun 😂
Vessel and Ren bringing sing rap back!! And I’m here for it 🤣🖤
There is so much to be said about ST and yet so little can be said. It's a paradox all good art and music have in common.
Sometimes I need to pause their songs and just breathe to calm myself down lol. They get me so freaking HYPED. It's almost the same feeling as when you see a super cute puppy, and you grit your teeth from all the excitement. That's how I feel about ST music 🤘 All-time fav group by far!
Totally loved your reaction to this one. "So Good" 😊. Yes! I like the breakdowns you do so don't worry about pausing lol 😅
The first song I heard by ST was the Summoning. My daughter told me about a few others, this being one of them. I don't know anything about drums (other than they sound good) but when i heard this song, i told my daughter that the drummer was good (understatement I know). She asked me had i listened to Rain yet and I laughed and told her ON REPEAT!! Safe to say that next to the Summoning, this is my favorite on this album. Although the whole album i can say is my favorite song lol😂😂
Good stuff! Can't wait for you to deep dive and go through their older stuff. Don't forget you have to listen to The Night Does Not Belong To God before you do Euclid!!! If you don't listen to any of their older stuff, you have to listen to that one before the end of TMBTE album!! Its a must!! 😊
Look forward to more, love your face when they surprise you! 😂
Take care, til next time.
❤ Worship ❤
@OldStoneRun P.S. I noticed the effects you pointed out better, thanks for that. I had the piano tuned in and the layered vocals, but the cathedral sound effect and the screams at the end (not the obvious one) I was able to catch. Also on a side note wanted to say I watched a live performance of Ascensionism and the part where it breaks off into "diamonds in the trees pentagrams in the night sky" before the breakdown he sang "you make me wish I could disappear" while fighting tears. Well, after watching that and wondering why he put the wish I could disappear line there instead of the ending I went back and listened real close and could hear that exact line under the echos of diamonds in the trees. Amazing what they hide in their music. And if no one said, yeah that's Vessel playing the piano. 😊
I love Sleep Token they have shot to the top of my playlist this year and I am enjoying going back and listening to their older songs like Jaws, The Offering and Gods
Jaws is so good
WORSHIP.
Lol evil piano?! Chaotic evil 😈 and you love it! We ALL love it.
Absolutely! Lol
One of my favorite tracks on the album as far as musical build and progression goes.
Ah man this one was so good!
@@oldstonerun anxiously waiting on your reaction to II's drum playthoughs!!
@@drsquatch9908haha. Dude. His drum skills are on another level
at 10:00 That super low in the mix guttural "rain down on me" gets me EVERY time. truly turned into a favorite on this album.
Hits so hard, I think I about blew my speakers just cranking it for that part lol.
So good!
@@SunDiegoRockStarhaha
Seeing them live was the best show I’ve EVER been to!!
WORSHIP.
I’m jealous
This is my favorite ST song at this exact monent.
Sleep Token is amazing ♥ I love all of this album
Omg this one is just my favorite... So emotionnal T_T
And Jusssst Like the raiiIiiIinnnnnnnn
This song is so good
I really like your reaction pausing every 1 second in hours reaction 🤣 knowing every details
How do they keep adding layers and it's still all intelligible??? Idk about the whole *worship* thing, but I would for sure go to their school 😄
Lol agreed man. I’m going to need to look into that school as well
I love watching your sighs as you're resigned to witness the beauty. Worship, love what you do!
Great reaction. I like the details u give me, I just wish I had better headphones to hear everything u hear. Can wait for the next reaction.
You've done it again man......awesome as ever. Watching you react and break down the song always gives me a big smile. Looking forward to the next one.
Been waiting for this one! I really love this track and think it's overlooked in the scope of the rest of the album.
At 8:36 vessel is calling back to a track on their first EP 'fields of elation' with how he is singing those few lines.
So many little easter eggs in TMBTE
Wow! That’s insane!
Hahaha!! Awesome. I agree completely with your last point 😂.
It’s funny watching you try avoid pausing when you hear something, but rest assured those pauses are why we are here. I learn something new each time. Last time I finally noticed the literally constant drone in the background of Alkaline.
With respect to his runs, I believe that sometimes his native accent emerges, so you get very unique takes. There are some unique “runners” mostly in female pop artists, but not often in other genres, especially metal. When I hear Vessel, I sometimes think of Eddie Vedder: 3:03 and on of “Are You Really Ok?” But I have also heard him sound like Robert Plant and Roger Waters.
I have also heard portions of music that sound like Massive Attack and others sound like the Cocteau Twins, not derivatively though. The musical influences of these guys and their producers must be massive. You cannot break the “rules” if you don’t know them and Sleep Token is almost always breaking a rule, from song structure, to genre niches, to mixing, to each unique artist’s performance.
Yay! I always accidentally open UA-cam on your newest ST reaction days. The algorithm knows me. ❤
Great reaction, as always. I’d love to hear you react to some older Sleep Token. Telomeres is my personal favorite but there all so good.
Thanks Caroline! Will do! Telomeres… I don’t think I’ve heard of that one yet.
Wheeeeen are you gonna do Euclid?! 😮💨🤌🏻
Gotta be soon I’d imagine!
I WANT you to pause and go back. Sleep Token was my intro to your channel, and I've mentioned it before, but I love that you pause to explain so often. I enjoy Sleep Token so much, I appreciate the music as a whole but I want to dive into it and tear apart everything that brings it together. There's something different in each song that tingles my brain, and I want to appreciate every little detail. Your channel accomplishes exactly that, for Sleep Token and so many other artists. It's not just enjoying the music, it's also taking the appreciation a step further to acknowledge the work put in. Even for bands that aren't Sleep Token, or my cup of tea, I can appreciate the hard work for their craft.
The way you reacted at 5:15 is exactly the same reaction I had when listening for the first time. Watching you react is like reliving my first experiences over again, it's wholesome and fun and brings so much joy. I commend your self restraint in not listening to entire albums ahead of time!
So glad to see you’ve done a reaction to this one dude! It’s my current favourite that has been on repeat nonstop for weeks now, yet every time I watch one of your videos I can hear new things like it’s a new song. I never noticed the choir in any songs before I watched your summoning reaction. It’s a beautiful thing to share in and you’re incredibly knowledgable and your ability to hear all these things first listen is nothing short of a magical power to me 😂 keep it up my guy! Love your reactions and breakdowns 💪
Would love to see ur reaction to Bloodsport ( room from below). One of my favorites. Just Vessel and a piano...
I love your reactions, you've already become part of the fans. I assume you are going to end up listening to the whole TMBTE album, after that I would love to see you continue with the first albums, especially The offering, Higher, Atlantic, Hypsoisis, Alkaline and the love you want.
There is lots more then just the other 2 albums there is also 2 EPS a few singles some covers and some live videos that he should check out to
He already did Alkaline. But yeah, I hope he goes through the whole discography
@@NikkiWright-STLVR23 Yes I know, I completely forgot when I posted the comment I was too excited to write.😅😅😅
@@danigeocr completely understandable 😄
I may be a little late to the party but I've done my homework and even got extra credit lol. I have binged all of their albums back to back on repeat since May lol.
@@NikkiWright-STLVR23 I discovered the band since April and it's practically what I listen to every day and now with the tour they are doing in the USA, the guys are performing more on stage and sharing more with the people.
Another ST song, another genre grafted song to take is on a journey. 💕 🙏 🎼
This is one of my favorites from the album. And live it’s an absolute beast.
The way you end this video is so relatable.
Looks like its time for you finish up with Euclid 😊 my fav song on the whole album
At first I didn’t get Euclid, so I had to hunt down Sundowning and TPWBYT and then OOOOOOOHHHHH!!!! 😂❤🖤❤️
I love seeing how much you love Sleep Token 😁
You want a singer with range and emotion, with runs and out-of-this-world technique? Dimash (Qudaibergen) He does mostly neo-classical stuff, so nothing like ST at all, but his voice and what he does with it is amazing!
SOS is THE song everyone reacts to, but I'd recommend "War and Peace" as something he composed himself and "Samaltau" from the Tokyo Jazz Festival because it's just absolutely beautiful. Neither are in English, but I don't think it matters - just consider his voice another instrument.
Nice ending lolol
Vessel writes in Mixolidian key a lot.
You love a song. Then you come to Old Stone to understand why you do 😂
Sleep Token like to have their privacy and stay anonymous so when it comes to production and editing it has to be perfect and it has to be somebody they really trusted because they were identities get out that would be a travesty.
Depression's had me by the balls lately and I've been very down, finding happiness almost exclusively in Sleep Token. Today I ate lunch by myself on campus and stumbled upon your reaction to Alkaline and watched it on my way back to my desk and I. could. not. stop. smiling widely. it made me sososo happy, and once I came home in the eve I watched all of your Sleep Tokens reactions chronologically and they made me sooooo fucking happy 😭😭😭 nothing makes me quite as happy as someone else enjoying something I love, and your perspective on the songs is so much more in depth than my music layman ass, which not only helped me appreciate the songs EVEN more, but also made your being impressed with it sososos much better. many many thanks my guy, wish you all the best 🫶🏻
and while I know 💀 that you must get these a LOT and there's so many more bands to check out and you have a personal life as well, I really hope to see your reactions to more Sleep Token songs, in particular as you've only reacted to one of my favorite songs (Ascensionsm). The other favorites include Hypnosis and Descending, closely followed by The Apparition. ALSO NAZARETH? GOOSEBUMPS. so many good songs help 😭😭😭😭
Do I see a Goodfellas poster back there 😁
😉
Music reactions on UA-cam.. but they actually listening to the whole damn song the first time around and thennnn go back again and pause it 1629274 times
They have to pause or youtube blocks the video
It's almost a religious experience. That little part where he sings about opening his eyes to the future, I seriously think he's talking to the fans, IMO
If you are an experienced adult, I HIGHLY recommend listening to this band with your partner while eating some mushrooms....it's hot.
I think if you wanted to please both the people who just want to see you react to the song and the people who want you to break it down you could always do a first listen without stopping and then go back and re listen and break down the song then
I would prefer more raw vocals without mixing
