      I appreciate your ability to change your view from the beginning where you said it had little replay value to the end. It really did seem like a simple song at first but by the time you reach the end you realize just how complex it is and you just HAVE to listen to it again with a different lens each time

      HYPNOSIS.....you HAVE to cover. HYPNOSIS....what a song .

    Before I posted this video I listened to it so many times. I love how the same exact verse sang 2 completely different ways at the beginning and at the end of the song transforms. The temperature changes. Listening to it again I really love the middle and interlude shit I love the entire track. Once I understood the structure of the song it clicked for me.

      @happyninja42 Год назад +12

      Yeah it's really neat how they sang the same song, but just structured it differently, to give it entirely different moods. I think it's an interesting thing to point out in your own song. How interchangeable and fluid musical styles can be. And how, with just a little effort and thought, you can make the SAME song, sound like 2 entirely different songs. You are not alone in the "it sounds like a totally different song now" camp. xD It's a huge tonal shift, but the cool thing is that it still works. Because the middle section brings the mood down from the heavy metal to a progressive rock kind of vibe, and just lets your brain dial down from the 11 the previous section put it at. So you just kind of start grooving to that chill ambient solo, and then, Funktown kicks in. And it works! 🤣

      If you watch some of the recent live versions of this, in that soft interlude part, instead of that electronic "skittery" stuff going on, they are having the drummer do improv/solo stuff and it fits so well (in addition to the atmospherics). It's actually pretty impressive, I didn't realize how good he is

    Yesss! So psyched you got to this one. The second half of the song is a stronger representation of what Sleep Token “normally” sounds like. They’re masters of blending genres but there are very strong notes of pop, soul, R&B and even gospel throughout their catalog.

    Sleep Token is definitely one of those verrrrry abstract bands. Kinda like Tool. They take you in very different directions. And they flip sounds mid-song so flawlessly.

    You really owe it to yourself to give both granite and aqua regia a listen. I noticed that you really got into the song when the song went full on funk/r&b. Those 2 songs are definitely r&b influenced. The range of this band, and the lead singer Vessel’s vocals, are insane.
    The drummer II is amongst the best drummers I’ve seen as well. Maybe check out the Hypnosis drum video, if not for the channel just for personal viewing. Glad to see you change your mind!
