So this is where the Sleep Token journey began for you Chase. Hooked right from the very beginning, and can i just point out how you recognized in just one single song that they felt "rock, metal, jazzy, bluesy, and pop"?!❤ How interesting, wonder what they do now..
@@xMRxZEROx Don't get me wrong I enjoy him as well! Actually had tickets to see him in San Francisco with a the Contortionist in march but yanno.... Covid lol
@@Shorsey30 Awe man. That blows. I need to see him again. Last time I saw him was the acoustic tour he did with Avatar after he broke up DTP. Wasn't the same, but still good. I'm definitely checking these guys out though. Amazing.
@@xMRxZEROx see man I'm on the opposite side, I just recently got into Devin because I was going to see him and I fell in love with what I've heard! Sadly if haven't really found it in me to dive deeper into his catalog of music yet. I've heard maybe five songs total, but really enjoyed them. He's clearly EXTREMELY talented. I have been listening to sleep token since November of last year and have since heard every single song released by them. And while some tracks are "weaker" than others I truly mean it when it say all of them are at the very least great. Not good. Great. Let's play do this here in the comments if you're interested, give me a couple songs to listen to by Devin, and I'll give you a couple by Sleep Token! If you're down I'd love that!
Your videos were absolutely a part of my journey into loving these guys over a year ago. The day i realized i needed to know more, your reactions gave me everything i was looking for. And now im watching you fall in love with them for the first time. Kind of surreal 🙃 Eta: oh and congrats! 💐
After almost a year of following your Sleep Token journey I've finally seen this. Where it all started for you. First listen and it was like watching someone at the beginning of falling in love 😊. The first look. I think you are brilliant at picking up and explaining all the intricacies and sonic nuances. I love watching your reactions and am so happy to have you as a guide to my own Sleep Token journey. ✌️❤ Greetings from Greece.
Very very grateful for the support. Love my video history with the band. They're incredibly special to me and I know so many many other people. Thank you for taking the time to watch these.
This is the song that was on my Spotify Discover playlist on my birthday in 2019 that brought this band into my awareness and pretty much changed my life forever.
Revisiting this video 3 years later, after watching Chase become a fan, is so interesting. Chase clearly knows what he is talking about because he hits the nail on the head with insights into II’s technique and Vessel’s vocal style, even on his first viewing
So happy you “got” this music... Personally speaking, I can’t imagine a music connoisseur not adoring this band. Saw them live last December and it was a similar experience: Knew zero about them going in, and instantly became a fan. All of the above suggestions are great, (pretty much every single one of their songs is phenomenal), but no one has mentioned ‘Jaws’ yet, and I can pretty much guarantee you that one will utterly blow you away as well. Enjoy! 🔥🤘🔥
Only just found this channel and I'm so glad I did! Been wanting more ST reactions of their earlier stuff, so I'm so glad I found them! I only discovered them in December last year, and have absolutely fallen in love with the band. Can't wait to watch more of your videos!
Normally i have to bother other reactors to check out Sleep Token, so it's wonderful to discover you the opposite way. I guess i have to give you another band i love dearly. Caligula's Horse - Dream the Dead I believe the lore of sleep token revolves around having anxiety and longing for peaceful sleep. The band has a gimmick but much of it all is just artistically painting raw emotion. The song Higher by Sleep Token is usually very popular and gives you the full oomph.
It was an absolutel pleasure. I immediately put them on my playlist. Love the way they put this song together. Really appreciate the comment, support and feedback. Definitely doing more coming up and will be sure to give these other guys a listen.
@@ChaseCarneson I know you'll love Dream the Dead like crazy, I can tell you have an ear for music. Now's the perfect time to get into Caligula's Horse, they have an album coming out soon supported by two really strong singles already, so expect to see them a lot in the progressive metal conversations this year. I try not to bombard people with a huge list of songs but I do have a few bands i can see you really digging and it'll be fun joining you as you give really good input on the material :)
They do the "build up" sound wonderfully in I'd say 70% of their songs. Usually leading up to a crunchy breakdown. But they really have that style of building up to a crescendo that I absolutely adore. Please react to more of them!
@paravarium I’m SO glad someone else loves Caligula’s Horse and Sleep Token. Safe to say C-Horse directly led me to Sleep Token. Both criminally underrated bands with amazing vocalists.
Great reaction, dude. Not many people have reacted to Sleep Token and a lot of people are missing out because of it. I loved how you broke down the music as well, talking about the lack of bass in the beginning and the percussion in the second verse. It's nice to hear someone really break down the music rather than just say how awesome it sounds.
I LOVED this. Metal that fuses pop and other types of production is my JAM. Will have to listen to more. Would love to see you react to Tool because I think there’s so much you’d be able to talk about and pull out.
I love levitate ... but The offering, Higher, Gods and Sugar are the standout album tracks. The build up in marketing was brilliant in releasing a track every 2 weeks. 👍
So I finally went back a month later and saw this, and I definitely can see why you've been stuck on the Sleep Token kick, this was fantastic, definitely checking out the others now. Also, spot-on with the analysis, I definitely agree!
Thank you for reacting to this. I always love watching how people react to songs I love and there inputs. You definitely nailed it. To me these dudes should be the sound of humanity lol I loved your input!!
Such a great and detailed breakdown of this wonderful song. I’ve been a big fan of Sleep Token and o have to say I appreciate how in depth you analyze the song, it’s the level of analysis a band like this deserves. I’m subbing to your channel for sure.
Woah, this is super interesting. I haven't heard of this band before... I got an almost "Bastille" vibe from the opening vocals, then they went full on Deftones around the 5:30 mark (of their song/video). Definitely interested in checking out your other reactions to this band!
I watched this just after your recommendation in your 10k milestone video, congrats again ;). An incredible piece of music combine with good visuals that combines all together in the middle. Wauw !!
Porcupine Tree's "Darkest Eyes" took me probably 25+ times hearing it before I felt like I could wrap my head around what they were doing and (mainly) why they were doing it. This would take more spins I think, and I'm not sure I'd ever be "comfortable" listening to it. This isn't "Oh I'll throw this on the drive home" music, I'd have to be in a very specific mood to seek this out. Yet's it's fascinating, too. Can't say I wasn't entertained.
Very interesting! Never heard of them before, but definitely worth exploring more. If exploring for something new I recommend MYRKUR. Very creative and different, I saw them live in Dublin. Stole the show for me.
Seeing as that you're looking at other types of music too, maybe you should check out DeWolff? They do psychedelic rock (think Jimmy Hendrix). Anything live should do. I ran into them while shooting a festival and felt they were clearly the revelation of the festival. Restless Man (Live @ BNN That's Live 3FM) would be a good one to get an idea, I think.
I figured if you like it, I'll like it. Well, no doubt it intrigues me musically, but it isn't something I can listen to regularly because I would just knock out. Considering the band's name, maybe that's the point. LOL

It's kind of fun to read these comments with today's perspective :)
My goodness Sleep Token is one of the best bands that have ever existed and I don't mean that in hyperbole
Clearly someone has never heard of Devin Townsend. 🤟🏻🤣
But now that I've heard the song. Damn. I'm impressed. And that's not easy to do these days. But I still love Devin. 😳

Thank you soo much! I’ve got quite a few videos up for them. Easily one of my favourite artists I found on this channel. Hope you enjoy 🙏
@ChaseCarneson I will definitely check them all out! Thank You! They are absolutely brilliant 👏🏻
I just now got into this song. This is probably the most “throw it on and chill” music I’ve ever heard.
those "guitar leads" at the end are actually the dudes falsetto. not kidding one bit, he hits notes like that a lot
Really????? That's incredible. More coming soon for damn sure.
Probably with a lot of effects, so easy to make that impression.
I love that they muffle and another the sound out instead of just fading it. I'm this band is just too unique...
Please do more Sleep Token! I'd recommend The Offering, or Higher next.
Yes. If we had a time machine, I would have put The Offering first.
Yes higher is so damn good. Band is simply amazing like I wanna but stuck in a time loop with the whole album
Higher. Higher all the way. Such a mind-blowingly good song. I’m a death core guy and that ending made me shit myself. It’s insane.
oh my god the way you fully went to pause and stopped. yesssss. this is my new fave band like EVER!
Normally i have to bother other reactors to check out Sleep Token, so it's wonderful to discover you the opposite way.
I guess i have to give you another band i love dearly. Caligula's Horse - Dream the Dead

Funny enough I never ever got Into too, so that would be perfect.
Yeah, Aenima and Lateralus. 40% of 10,000 days. All you need.
Can’t get enough of this band ❤️ so refreshing to have genres broken and fused and just pure musicianship be the focus.
I love levitate ... but The offering, Higher, Gods and Sugar are the standout album tracks. The build up in marketing was brilliant in releasing a track every 2 weeks. 👍
This breakdown/reaction was unbelievable. Absolutely thoroughly enjoyed it. Keep it up man.
Really appreciate this. Have a bother reaction to Jaws on the channel when you get a gap.
So I finally went back a month later and saw this, and I definitely can see why you've been stuck on the Sleep Token kick, this was fantastic, definitely checking out the others now. Also, spot-on with the analysis, I definitely agree!
LOVE these guys. Glad you're enjoying them too.
This was so lovely to watch man. Love your analysis and you have such a pleasant voice!
Thank you for that, Ollie!!!
The music Coldplay never dared to play.
Never thought about it. Sleep token really is ultra experimental Coldplay.
Thank you for reacting to this. I always love watching how people react to songs I love and there inputs. You definitely nailed it. To me these dudes should be the sound of humanity lol I loved your input!!
Looooove these guys. Actually have another one coming out soon so hang in there.

Awesome! Thank you! Glad you liked it. I LOVE these guys.
Higher or The Offering next by Sleep Token buddy. Won’t regret it
I just heard these guys for the first time yesterday. So many awesome songs, but Higher is just killer. I want to know who the drummer is.
Porcupine Tree's "Darkest Eyes" took me probably 25+ times hearing it before I felt like I could wrap my head around what they were doing and (mainly) why they were doing it.

where it all began
Very enjoyable analysis of the production techniques used! I really appreciated your reaction and insights. Take care, friend.
Thank you, sir. More coming daily!
Thank you for giving me new music! Absolutely love your channel.
Would love to see you react to Fields of Elation 🤔 because to me Vessel’s vocals sound soo fricken different.
Great reaction overall! Hope to see more sleep token on this channel
Thanks for that, Joey! More to come for sure. Loving their vibe.
This voice sounds sooo familiar, or resembles some other singer I know, but can't think of who it is
Worship!
You have to react to more of them is my favorite band
I can guarantee I will be doing just that. loved my into to them and can't wait to record more.
@@ChaseCarneson I can't wait any longer to see you'll react to them.
Very interesting! Never heard of them before, but definitely worth exploring more.
If exploring for something new I recommend MYRKUR. Very creative and different, I saw them live in Dublin. Stole the show for me.
Yeah I thought so. Nice one. I'll give them a listen and see what they're about.
Seeing as that you're looking at other types of music too, maybe you should check out DeWolff? They do psychedelic rock (think Jimmy Hendrix). Anything live should do. I ran into them while shooting a festival and felt they were clearly the revelation of the festival. Restless Man (Live @ BNN That's Live 3FM) would be a good one to get an idea, I think.
Nice one, sounds interesting. I think I need to look into them.
Levitate by Sleep Token would be a good next one if you delve deeper. Which I highly recommend! They have not put out a bad song yt in my opinion
Awesome stuff. Let me add that to the plan.
looking at this, i would recommend Leprous - Illuminate
🔥🔥🖤
I figured if you like it, I'll like it. Well, no doubt it intrigues me musically, but it isn't something I can listen to regularly because I would just knock out. Considering the band's name, maybe that's the point. LOL
😂😂😂👌
Jaws or bloodsport, whichever are perfect songs, much more than this
WORSHIP!
Jaws coming soon!
Chase Carneson yay! Thanks!! I’ll be pending on it !
