YOURE THE FIRST PERSON IVE SEEN BOTHER TO REACT TO ANYTHING ON THE EPS OH LIFE IS SO BEAUTIFUL !!!!!!!!! PLLSS KEEP GOING IN ORDER edit: also "WHAT IS THAT?" around 6:30 thats vessel !!!!! thats his old mask !!! and as for the worship imagery, thats intentional!! the lore of sleep token is that vessel was visited in his dreams by a mysterious entity/god we only know as "sleep" who offered him fame in exchange for worship, so their music is a "token" to "sleep" :) hes in a very toxic codependent relationship with sleep too which youll find as a common theme in their music !!
I'd say do their 3 albums, in order. There is a purpose to them. Sadness, longing and anger done so well, Im jealous of anyone who isn't emotionally moved by something they have done. And you may very well be 5 songs in and not feeling it, but then by the end you’ll be crying when Euclid ( last song on last album) is playing.
@@Caustic968 It's vessels way of coming to terms with the fact he will never convince sleep to accept him and saying fuck it I'm over this bs to find happiness in himself instead of others
These 5 songs are a surprising intro. Normally people start with something on This Place Will Become Your Tomb or Take Me Back To Eden, so this is an interesting deviation from the norm. It'll be fun to watch you work your way through their discog!
I’m so happy you started with my first song from them. 2017-2018 is when I discovered them and fell instantly in love. Seeing them grow this much has been fucking awesome to see
Amazed by you getting more and more into metal each new song. Now it's time for the Sleep Token journey, going down every song. You won't be dissapointed ♥ #WORSHIP
Jaws is a blaady BELTER, gives me shivers every time amazing transitions and the first real showcase of II’s drumming ability, the man is a monster on the skins
My Mother and I have thoroughly enjoyed watching your reactions for the last several months. Slipknot ones are my fav. We travel near home and attend as many concerts as we are able to. Its always a wonderful adventure. We will be seeing Sleep Token for the first time this May 1st. So grateful to have that opportunity. They don't have a single song we dislike! A couple of my fav bands that i have not seen on your channel, Spiritbox, Darko US and Face yourself, just recommendations that are worth checking out. Thank you for sharing! 🖤🖤
It's really unexpected choice. You've decided to start from the VERY beginning which is kinda bold move. They stayed pretty the same but their sound evolved and matured and it became much less underground. So most people hear at least 1 song from the last album and begin their journey from the beginning to understand the story. upd I haven't seen the vid before comment and well it seems you are definitely familliar with him and his regular voice. Nice that you've noticed the ethereality of the sound. It is very minimalistic yet aesthetic. I like thread the needle arrangement because it sounds like pure night. such a strange and unusual feeling of comfortable silence and all these synth noises remind me about shadows and dim lights. His falsetto was his prominent feature back then, i suppose. It gave some tenderness to this first tracks. But he sang in different voices way before sleep token, so I am comfortable with anything he offers. it's just a theater, a vibe.
These guys are literally my favorite band. Their music is SOOO unique. The Summoning would probably be right up your alley or the song Take me back to Eden
Aqua Regia is the song that got me into them which is pretty jazzy of a song. There's no metal parts in it, although i am a big metalhead myself, but the vibe of the song just grabbed me by the soul and took me along for the ride that is sleep token. Now they're all i listen to
The evolution of Vessel's voice from then to now is insane. James Blake (is that his name?) on steroids. Add in the metal elements, not to mention a giant fist full of other genres.... you'll be in love.
Omg I’m so happy ur doing this! And u started at the beginning beginning 😊 My favorite all time artist! They’re amazing live!! Can’t wait for u to get a little deeper. U will be blown away! Thank u 🫶🏼 Worship!
FROM THE START!? YES TEDDY!! My absolute favorite band. I definitely recommend doing this in chronological order. There's a whole story behind it and it will blow you away. Buckle up for a beautiful, emotional ride
Teddy. You need like a solid 10 reactions of this band. My favorite band currently, had album of the year with Take Me Back to Eden 2023. II the drummer one Drumeo's Drummer of the Year. You should react to Sleep Token - Alkaline next
I love that you started with their older stuff!! I would love to see you go through in chronological order from oldest to newest. I recommend you listen to the 3 songs off of the Two ep before starting the Sundowning album! My favorites off Sundowning are the offering, dark signs, higher, give, sugar, and bloodsport (which is half the album cause they are all soooo good 💖)
I had only ever heard one ST song before their latest album came out and they just didn’t catch my notice. Then everyone in RUclips land started reacting to the new album and I fell in love with it and had to go back and learn about the band’s mythology and listen to the whole discography from the start. Atlantic and Rain are two of my fave songs from all the albums and I think Ascensionism is maybe my fave off the newest album.
HUGE fan of yours and an even bigger fan of ST. This is the hottest metal band out right now, but to get on board and truly appreciate where Vessel's talent is you will have to jump to the last two albums. I do commend you for trying to start from the beginning.
Nice one. I enjoyed your reactions to these. In regards to what to watch next, Honestly, you've started at the beginning, so just continue on. They are that good. Now and then an artist turns it's medium on it's head with originality and artistic merit. This is currently that artist. Cheers.
God I'm sooo happy you're doing the Sleep Token journey. Been a big fave of mine for about 5yrs now and they just get better with each album. Great live too! Looking forward to part 2 😁
You're starting with a song that 90% of sleep token fans don't know about 😂 its cool that you're starting with the very first song they did as a band. Its like the summoning of the vessels in my opinion. Im happy that you discovered them. They are a great band. Not metal I know but they are amazingly talented
I really think you’d like Masochist by Polaris, the Sonics are like one big AUDHD comfort blanket and the lyrics cut deep and personal which I know are close to your heart ✌🏼
Sleep Token are the best band I have ever come across and the recent album is definitely my AOTY! You should go down the rabbit hole now. They’re genre bending and use elements of everything from rock, metal, RnB, trap, hip hop, gospel, and more. Even if you don’t like one song don’t write them off as every song is different and as you can see from this one they switch up completely through the songs, also don’t be thrown off by some of them being 7-8 minutes long either as it goes by far too quickly. You should start at the beginning and work your way through as they tell a story and have call backs to a lot of them. The band are anonymous, I and others know who they are but won’t reveal out of respect to the band and fans but the singer goes by the moniker Vessel, drummer, who is a beast is II, bassist III and guitarist IV. From London UK. As far as their discography goes they brought out two EPs called One and Two, then 2 singles called Jaws and The Way That You Were, then the three albums Sundowning, The Place Will Become Your Tomb, then TMBTE (Take Me Back To Eden). They’ve done five covers that I’m aware of. One being Hey Ya by OutKast, I Wanna Dance With Somebody by Whitney Houston, Is It Really You? By Loathe and When The Party’s Over by Billie Eilish, Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen. His Vocal range I believe is B ♭2 to F#5 and he has a wonderful chest voice, head voice and scream. I have never hyper fixated on a band like I have with these! Loved the react and hopefully see many more. 🖤 The trilogy = Seduction. Destruction. Liberation.
2 recommendations from me - also a former rap/hip hop listener.. haven’t listened to any of it for years now since starting on heavier music. BMTH - Empire (Let Them Sing) Architects - These Colours Don’t Run Loving seeing you on a similar musical journey and transition that I went through. It really is fantastic 🫡👌🏼🤟🏼
Ascenionism encompasses so many genres and my fave song. Take me back to Eden, blood sport (room below version), the summoning, missing limbs. They are my favorite band so I love them all lol
If I have one recommendation that so far I haven't seen people mention, is the 'live' offerings ii, their drummer, present. The 3 uploaded on their channel and the video on Drumeo's channel. The talent he has is phenomenal. Something I think you'd appreciate massively
Nazareth, the first ST song I ever heard. it gave me literal goose bumps, brought me to tears and pure joy! Still one of my favourites of theirs till this day 5 years later.
Thread the Needle is one of my favorite Sleep Token Songs. Glad you’re starting with the old stuff. All the newbies want you to do the new album, but this is the rout to go.
I waited patiently for you to finally jump into this rabbit hole called Sleep Token😂and so...welcome! it will be a fascinating journey full of amazing discoveries!!! you will not be disappointed! I promise!!! and, yes... WORSHIP 🖤🖤🔥🔥🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Subbed to watch you take this journey. It’s good you’re starting at the beginning. It’s already been said but this music will Vessel’s story. Giving himself to Sleep, being his Vessel and the toxic relationship that ensues. Grab a chair and a box of tissues. You’ll be moved to tears more than once. But by the end, you’ll worship just like the rest of us.
PLEASE do the albums in order, it makes for such an impactful and meaningful resolution. This is such a beautiful thing you’ve discovered, if you give it a chance Sleep Token will not disappoint. I saw them live and the entire time I was either screaming or holding myself and swaying/crying. I can’t wait to witness this beautiful journey
which sleep token reaction are you looking forward to the most?
Like that form the album this place will become your tomb
Alkaline music video 🔥
vore
All of them
Blood sport will make you ugly cry. We all know how much you love to cry and show your emotions 😅
The Summoning, Chokehold, Alkaline, Take me back to Eden, Blood Sport, Hypnosis ❤
I second this!👆🏻🔥
all those plus ascensionism
I know people want surprise factor so they choose The Summoning, but i think The Offering is a great early song that best represent Sleep Token.
@@Eric-nx6cpI'm right there with you I wish people would start at the beginning.
Yep, Ascensionism is a must too
Man, starting from the VERY beginning? Dope. This is going to be a wonderful ride!
Right! Every one always starts with TMBTE, which is great… but this is far better. You get the whole scene painted out for you!
It's honestly my favorite release. Something about it is so pure and beautiful.
YOURE THE FIRST PERSON IVE SEEN BOTHER TO REACT TO ANYTHING ON THE EPS OH LIFE IS SO BEAUTIFUL !!!!!!!!! PLLSS KEEP GOING IN ORDER
edit: also "WHAT IS THAT?" around 6:30 thats vessel !!!!! thats his old mask !!! and as for the worship imagery, thats intentional!! the lore of sleep token is that vessel was visited in his dreams by a mysterious entity/god we only know as "sleep" who offered him fame in exchange for worship, so their music is a "token" to "sleep" :) hes in a very toxic codependent relationship with sleep too which youll find as a common theme in their music !!
Ryker Road did them all as well
"Thread the Needle"? It's so good to see somebody react to a less known ST song. I'm here for the journey. Worship. 🤘
Right? The success of the latest albums has overshadowed this masterpiece of an EP. I still think When The Bough Breaks is one of their best songs.
Welcome to Sleep Token, where they will steal your soul (and you will give it gladly)
😀 you've put it they way it is :)
I'd say do their 3 albums, in order. There is a purpose to them.
Sadness, longing and anger done so well, Im jealous of anyone who isn't emotionally moved by something they have done.
And you may very well be 5 songs in and not feeling it, but then by the end you’ll be crying when Euclid ( last song on last album) is playing.

MATE, WE NEED MORE SLEEP TOKEN!!! Someone has commented a list….. LETS GOOOO
THIS IS THE ONE THAT WE’VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR! 🙏🏽 #WORSHIP 🖤
I’m so happy you started with my first song from them. 2017-2018 is when I discovered them and fell instantly in love. Seeing them grow this much has been fucking awesome to see
Amazed by you getting more and more into metal each new song.
Now it's time for the Sleep Token journey, going down every song. You won't be dissapointed ♥ #WORSHIP
The summoning
starting at the beginning is such a good choice. Keep going. You wont be disappointed
Jaws is a blaady BELTER, gives me shivers every time amazing transitions and the first real showcase of II’s drumming ability, the man is a monster on the skins
Acensionism
my fav
OMG THE EPS?! YESSSS!!!! No one really does reactions to them! Only seen one other channel do it.
Teddy mate, you're in for a treat with this Journey! Wish I could hear Sleep Token again for the first time
been through their whole discography a few times now and jaws has still gotta be my favorite song of theirs. period.
actually scratch that, atlantic

oh man what a rabbit hole you've stepped in😁👍 it's gonna be an awesome journey! enjoy😎
I can not wait to see what you react to today. I love Granite, The Summoning, and Akaline from them the most.
WE NEED A REACTION TO ‘The summoning’ and ‘take me back to Eden’ also CAN WE GET SOME PIERCE THE VEIL?! Love the videos keep up the work!!❤❤
It's really unexpected choice. You've decided to start from the VERY beginning which is kinda bold move.

These guys are literally my favorite band. Their music is SOOO unique. The Summoning would probably be right up your alley or the song Take me back to Eden
Maaan your channel grew quick! Damn. You deserve it. Good luck
I keep re-watching this react sesh waiting for more Sleep Token 😂❤ i love your reacts! ❤ Worship
The Apparition is definitely the most interesting song imo ! Based on progressiveness and climax, its a TRIP
I second that, definitely one of my favourites from them.
All of them, one after another 😊
Oh my, I did not expect you to discover sleep token, but I am HERE for it.
i commend it lots that you start with the OG stuff of theirs, its very much still the most unique, beutiful, very raw emotionally and quite poetic
If you love these for the musical aspect but also lyricism, you are going to LOVE these fellas. Get on some mooooore!
Aqua Regia is the song that got me into them which is pretty jazzy of a song. There's no metal parts in it, although i am a big metalhead myself, but the vibe of the song just grabbed me by the soul and took me along for the ride that is sleep token. Now they're all i listen to

Im sooo hear for the sleep token rabbit hole. Teddy going to lose his mind when he reaches Take me back to Eden!!!
Progressive metal would be a start for a genre designation. Reminds me of The Contortionist.
Love that you start from the very beginning 😍 I'm excited for you to experience their development
For me, ascensionism is one of the most perfect pieces of art I ever heard.
Omg I’m so happy ur doing this! And u started at the beginning beginning 😊 My favorite all time artist! They’re amazing live!! Can’t wait for u to get a little deeper. U will be blown away! Thank u 🫶🏼 Worship!
This is why i love your videos. You can harmonize with nearly any kind of music. So great!!!
FROM THE START!? YES TEDDY!! My absolute favorite band. I definitely recommend doing this in chronological order. There's a whole story behind it and it will blow you away. Buckle up for a beautiful, emotional ride
“Didn’t need that in my ear” and that’s like my favorite thing ever. lol
Teddy. You need like a solid 10 reactions of this band. My favorite band currently, had album of the year with Take Me Back to Eden 2023. II the drummer one Drumeo's Drummer of the Year. You should react to Sleep Token - Alkaline next
As a Sleep Token lover, The Blanks’s cover of “Hey Ya!” Is the God tier version of any cover to exist
anything from sundowning gonna be crazy defo their best album
I have never listened to Sleep Token before. Sweet Lord, this is a mood.
I love that you started with their older stuff!! I would love to see you go through in chronological order from oldest to newest. I recommend you listen to the 3 songs off of the Two ep before starting the Sundowning album!

Sleeptoken was on the list I put together when you did the spit it out reaction!
Glad to see this on your channel! 👍
I just seen my comment from 3 months ago , I've re watched this I don't know how many times 😂 till that part 2 comes out hopefully
React Take Me Back To Eden 🫂
Yes, please. I've been asking for weeks.
@@theraven7790 ME TOO BRO! JAJAJA
Let him take his time. Would you tell someone to skip to the end of great mystery novel?
Erm NO! Album reactions are on patreon only,us that can't afford to pay won't get to see any.😢
Bro where is part 2?
Nice one. I enjoyed your reactions to these. In regards to what to watch next, Honestly, you've started at the beginning, so just continue on. They are that good. Now and then an artist turns it's medium on it's head with originality and artistic merit. This is currently that artist. Cheers.
You need to react to the entire Take Me Back To Eden album 😍
Ascensionism is pure bliss
Ascensionism! Worship! 🙏🏼
I would DIE if he did will ramos cover of CHOKEHOLD.
You are reacting to all my favourite bands and songs! I’m fully here for this
This is the rabbit hole that if you stick with it it will suck you in deeper than you ever expected possible
Take me back to Eden is a masterpiece. Will most certainly make you very emotional and cry
God I'm sooo happy you're doing the Sleep Token journey. Been a big fave of mine for about 5yrs now and they just get better with each album. Great live too! Looking forward to part 2 😁
Definitely excited to see your reaction to Sleep Token!!
Also here to suggest Nine Inch Nails
You're starting with a song that 90% of sleep token fans don't know about 😂 its cool that you're starting with the very first song they did as a band. Its like the summoning of the vessels in my opinion. Im happy that you discovered them. They are a great band. Not metal I know but they are amazingly talented
Hope you enjoy the journey! This band is special
Watch all the songs in order. You won’t regret it.
Their Take Me Back to Eden album is one of my all time favorites ❤
Same.
Hey Ya is heartbreaking. Fear intimacy of self investment into each other as nothing stays forever eventually everybody leaves.
But also fearing being alone with the intrusive nature these issues demanding to be addressed.
I really think you’d like Masochist by Polaris, the Sonics are like one big AUDHD comfort blanket and the lyrics cut deep and personal which I know are close to your heart ✌🏼
Brave song/ep to start with.
Edit: he holding a heart.
You got the symblism bang on, my dude. This was the birth of Vessel.

You need to check out "Walk" by Pantera so you can experience the most iconic guitar riff in all metal
freaking great stuff here.
2 recommendations from me - also a former rap/hip hop listener.. haven’t listened to any of it for years now since starting on heavier music.
BMTH - Empire (Let Them Sing)
Architects - These Colours Don’t Run
Loving seeing you on a similar musical journey and transition that I went through. It really is fantastic 🫡👌🏼🤟🏼
Also i have to mention... Sleep Token is often... kinky :D
I hope you do their entire discography ❤ Worship 🙏
Thank you so much! Can't wait to see more my favorite Sleep Token from my favourite react channel ❤
JAWS got unreal groove man!
Ascenionism encompasses so many genres and my fave song. Take me back to Eden, blood sport (room below version), the summoning, missing limbs. They are my favorite band so I love them all lol

This is what I’ve waited for!
Love sleep token. Can’t wait to see the journey!!!!!!👍🏼❤️

Welcome to the soul journey that is Sleep Token. I'm excited for you
The Love you want, Dark Skies, Chokehold, Hypnosis, Granite, Alkaline, The Summoning to name a few. Sleep Token are awesome 🤘🏼😜🤘🏼

More sleep token, I don’t care which just more
I think you'd love their song "Sugar."
Do the song Jaws by Sleep Token.
first song i ever listened to by them and I have been a fan since ❤
4:27 the face of how impressive Sleep Token is.
