The pure facial expression of what... the fuck? When the funk section started 😂 i love it so much
No one has ever said "It's Jazz" with quite that amount of quiet desperation. Love this so much!
Hahaha. Quiet desperation lol
This is the funniest shit I’ve read lately hahaha so true
Jazz✅Metal✅Funk✅Pop✅ethereal✅Non Traditional Timing✅
They’ve got it all.
You can also highlight good poetic lyrics, storylines, and call-backs to the list, with cool costumes, rune symbols, next level drumming, and awesome vocals. Worship.
RnB and rap elements too 😊
@@frostedflakes108 Absolutely!
Watching you get every prediction wrong about this song was a sitcom lmao 🤣
This song is like going to a fine dining restaurant and given your entree first, followed by dessert, then the appetizers and a truffle banana sugar Sunday with crazy straws jammed in it to top it off. It makes no sense but it’s delicious.
haha, thanks. I'm along for the ride now!
Sleep Token, "they are so frustratingly beautiful..." Hangs head in utter defeat and surrenders to the musical genius that is Sleep Token. Absolutely loved this reaction!
lol thanks for watching! Thanks for the kind words as well!
On the album Vessel does all vocals, plays guitar, bass, piano, synths and production. II does drums. III and IV join them for live shows.
To be fair, on this album, the Carl (Carl Bown) was in charge of the production, engineering/mixing but I am pretty sure Vessel was heavily involved as well.
Tho III and IV have great energy and make the shows pop. III's dancing and spinning alone. Between him and Vessel's happy hoppy hare dances...
@@chromesthesia the happy happy dances are everything 🤣
@@urfvsuthrngal318 it's so cute
@@animyrch You're totally right. I should have said Vessel helped with production and given credit to the amazing Carl Bown!
12:32: to be fair, none of us knew where it was gonna go from here the first time we heard this song.
lol I imagine everyone felt like I did on the first time listening to it
“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.” - Vessel 2017
Worship 🙏💜
Came for the song, stayed for the delighted confusion
Thanks man
@@oldstonerun Loving your reactions buddy, keep up the good work!
@@bradglenvoices thanks man!
I love watching people listen to Sleep Token for the first time. It literally is just the rollercoaster of facial expressions and its SO fun
Sleep Token - your musical rules do not apply here.
Worship!
I’m noticing that’s very true
Ive said it many times and ill say it again. If this album/band doesnt win a Grammy this year...
Doubt it happens, but man I hope so!
Reactor: "What time signature is that?"
Me: "Yes."
Worship!
Haha right!
“What is this?” None of us know, we just know we love it 🤣 worship 🙏🏻
😂😂 I made my husband listen to this & his response was “It felt like the musical equivalent of how it feels driving with (our teen) giving me directions… it was just left turn jazz, right turn metal, OHHH TURN TURN THERE breakdown… I had absolutely no idea where this was going to take ne & at the end we just hit the breaks and I… 😳… I don’t know, I need a moment” 😂😂😂😂😂😂 I was like, weird but strangely accurate 😂😂😂
Hahahah I love the comment lol. I know exactly how you and your husband feel haha. Great comment
I'm so enamored with Vessel's voice I can't stop listening to him. His screams during live performances are just 🤌😩
Sleep Token, Unprocessed, and Polyphia restored my faith in music, and I found all of them through each other. It was like, "If you like Polyphia then you're going to love Unprocessed", "If you like Unprocessed then you're going to love Sleep Token". I'm a 51 year old black guy and these 3 bands incorporate everything I grew up listening to despite my unique taste in music for my race at the time. I've never been so hopeful for the future of music. I found Sleep Token about 8 months before they dropped the first single to the new album, so glad they blew up!
Ever see Foo Fighter's music video for "Run"?? That's going to be me covering Sleep Token at your local community center when i start collecting SSI, but I'm still working cuz i can never retire.
I had never heard of Unprocessed, looked em up. Thanks for putting me on!
Unprocessed does not get enough love! Agreed, about being excited about music again because of those 3 bands.
Blesses be 🖤 I found Loathe through Sleep Token 🤘🏻😌
What a great comment man. Thank you. I’m definitely going to have to check out these suggestions now!
Love your reaction to the band. They are an amazing talented group. They got it all
Thanks!
Sleep Token has renewed my love of music. I had forgotten. ❤
I 100% agree!
If you think it's not the same person scream, wait until you hear Vore.
I keep seeing Vore on here, I need to just do it already!
@@oldstonerun yes. But not literally. I'm sure swallowing people whole is illegal
@@oldstonerunpleaseeee
I watched Vore live on RUclips and it’s definitely Vessel screaming and singing. It’s all him
@@oldstonerun phrasing!
AMAZING breakdown for the layman. Killed this!
Thanks for the kind words!
Guitarist screams with him to help layer it
14:16 bites the lip* "ugh"...that's what this is lmao
Haha
"This band makes me feel like I dont know anything about music."
Proceeds to click off the video, and go sit in the closet and cry, replaying the song, over and over...😜❤
#The best review for a band...EVER!
Hahahahaha. Totally! Thank you for the kind words as well!
The funny part is you were talking about doing music math and their last song is Euclid the father of geometry!
Great breakdown. You hit all the right points and you def know what youre talking about.
This song is their Andy Kaufman mind F to the music world
Thanks Ian!
I love how much they confuse you 😌 I feel like you and Chase Carneson would def be able to chat forever about their music.
I love Chase! I rewatch his reacts all the time 🖤
Now I have to check out who Chase is! lol
@@oldstonerun haha he’s brilliant 🖤
@@TobiiRheaStarr Same :') He's the sweetest guy, too. Loves interacting with fans of the channel.
@@earthscorcher yeah he’s in the Fb groups too ☺️
Ok I'll go listen to sleep token for the millionth time today
Hahaha
Thank you for continuing on the Sleep Token journey. It's wonderful to watch someone else experience what we have experienced
Heck, it's my pleasure!
The whole album is one of a kind imo every song has its own special touch and listening from start to finish is a masterpiece
I’m starting to notice this!
I'm becoming addicted to watching these reactions. I truly appreciate you explaining what it is that makes their music so good. 💛 Worship.
Thank you for commenting and watching!
If you enjoyed the jazzy party of this song...pls listen to Aqua Regia, easily one of my favourites from this album 😀😀
thanks! I don't know if anyone has mentioned that song in the comments. Interesting.
@@oldstonerun the piano on that song is fantastic!
Watching your brain break in real time was hilarious, loving your ST reactions keep it up! Worship!
Oh its broke haha, thanks!
jokes on all of us. The lead singer, vessel, wrote and recorded everything but drums. on all his stuff. 😂😂
Lol it’s insane
I have this recorded live and you can see Vessel doing all of the screaming, apart from a part that overlaps in vocals, where IV takes it on 😃
That’s awesome!
Already liked the video even if it's not out yet because I am sure I'm going to learn so many new things about a song that I have been playing for over 7 months 🖤
That’s so freaking awesome. Thank you so much. Hope I find something in the song for ya!
@@oldstonerun Oh, I did. Awesome analysis! As I suggested in another comment, you should listen to the live version of The Summoning from the shows they did this summer (headliners in Germany and other festivals), because II does a drum solo in the 2 min electronic part that is absolutely FIRE
@@NahIamgood dude hell yea! I’m going to check out those live versions for sure!
Great reaction! I laughed all the way through because of the confusion you had so many times. I think this is why Sleep Token is artistic perfection when it comes to music. You should just do the rest of the album now.
lol, it really is confusing the first time hearing something like this!
7:34 soundin like Vessel there hahaha
edit: this is why context is such an important aspect to life. in ST’s discography especially. if you’re a long time fan of them, that last section is fucking bonkers. BUT if you’re a completely new fan, the last section is JUST as fucking bonkers. it was almost like listening to ST and falling in love with them all over again after hearing this song.
to listen them is one experience, but as a musician myself, I can’t help but be jealous and wish so badly that I could play music with these guys. II (a genius in his own right) is a lucky drummer to be able to share a room and stages with the genius that is Vessel 😭👏🏼
GRANITE IS NEXT IN LINE KEEP THE ALBUM ORDER GOIN
Make it so!
Great comment as always man!
You disappeared for a year...came back out of nowhere and you somehow are becomming one of my favorite music reactors.
lol Marty!! It has been a while man! Life happens sometimes and you gotta take (unfortunate) time away from music and RUclips. But I'm back man.
😂❤😂❤The whiplash be real with these guys, and we can't get enough of it. Believe it or not, the song is done in common time.
I share the exact the same opinions about this band. I haven't been this dedicated to a band, haven't been this excited about music in general for a very long time!
Honored to be marching in this army all up in your channel here!
Lol as always, love your comments!
Sleep Token has already opened shows for Babymetal... I think that's where the inspiration for making musical salads comes from, Babymetal does that a lot, like releasing 1920s jazz in the middle of progressive metal... It does feeling their boldness, I always say those Babymetal producers are crazy...
Really enjoy your Sleep Token reactions my man! Like that you analyze the production techniques and song writing. Looking forward to more
Thanks man so much!
The second songs on each album are notorious for being the heavy hitters (i.e. Hypnosis and The Offering). Both of which you should definitely check out
Ill take your suggestions sir!
Man, smthing a love in Sleep Token songs is that almost every time I listen I find something new
Definitely my favorite reaction, same thoughts went through my uead when i was introduced to Sleep Token, this was the first song I heard, die hard fan now. 😂
Okay so this song's live version hits WAY different, there is a drum solo at the end of the synth track before it slips into that finale! not sure if he does it every show but the one in Australia? god DAMN
I have to check out the live version man
Thanks for continuing with Sleep Token and for such a great reaction. I have really enjoyed your in-depth analysis of all your Sleep Token songs so far. Even though I've heard all Sleep Token's songs countless times, you've pointed things out in your 4(?) Sleep Token reaction videos that I hadn't noticed. So thank you for that. Hopefully, you will continue down this wonderful rabbit hole! Stay safe 🤘 ✌️
thanks so much for the kind words and great comment! Down the rabbit hole I go!
Sleep token army haha, welcome to the club my friend
haha, thanks
'I dont even know where i am in this freakin song!'
Welcome to sleep token my friend! ❤❤❤😂
Worshippers just like to see other people be flabbergasted as much as they were 😀 Especially people who understand all the work that goes into it.
Also, I know a singer who could keep up with Vessel and actually beat him range wise, but he's a (mostly) neo-classical solo artist and maybe not quite up your channel's alley.
lol thanks! I try to understand all the work that goes into it. Until bands like this come and make me feel like I don't have a clue haha.
Even if you dont do a reaction to it, you should listen to the whole album in your own time. Also their previous two albums are just as good. Love your stuff
Thanks so much for the kind words and the suggestions!
"this is jazz" ROFL
Brilliant reaction again. 👏
2 weeks today I see them live in Manchester UK. Cant freakin wait 🖤🖤🖤
You gotta come back and let us know how the concert goes!
@@oldstonerun absolutely mate. I sure will
@oldstonerun Friday night seeing these amazing musicians was stunning. A MUST SEE band live.
I did take a couple live videos that are uploaded to my channel .
WORSHIP. Devour. CONSUME
Duuuude, I’m psyched you paused so much! Like I mentioned before, your insight is outstanding and you’ve quickly become a favorite watch. Anyway, I spent forever trying to figure out how to count this. The opening sequence can be counted as two 6’s and one 4 repeated. Once the verse starts, believe it or not, it goes to 4/4. It sounds like a wacky time signature and I tried everything until I counted it in 4 out of pure frustration. Imagine my surprise. The drummer is modulating like a mofo and moving the 1 but the time signature never leaves 4/4. Absolutely nuts. Oh, and it is the same guy singing and screaming. Also absolutely nuts.
My man! Absolutely love the comment and feedback into the time signatures! You’re the man! That’s awesome
Glad you pause and actually talk about the music. You've got your own style which is why plenty of people will come to your channel in the future
Thanks man, I appreciate it
7:13 I starting laughing uncontrollably. My kids though I had lost my mind 😂
Haha that’s awesome
@@oldstonerun this was the last video while binging your Sleep Token reactions. I love your attention to detail and knowledge of musical themes and patterns so when your expectations got t boned the look of delighted defeat was a golden moment.
@@josefgordon7712 that’s awesome man. Thanks so much for watching the videos and the kind comments! Much appreciated sir.
I love your face when the prog guitar solo kicks in! It honestly reminds me of King Crimson's guitar in "Starless".
Lol! Totally wasn't expected King Crimson style there lol
This band reunited my love for music. Grew up on, Led Zeppelin, the Doors, The Rolling Stones, Alice in Chains, Lynyrd Skynyrd, anything 90s and back I jammed too. Hip-hop rarely does it for me, i love classic country, but the new stuff is garbage, and outside of a few metal bands rock music is horrible these days. Then my sister showed me The Summoning. I was immediately blown away, started listening to the entire album, amd felt like i was flying. Went back to their first and second album and love every song from every album. Im a Sleep Token addict.
I love the reactions to sleep token. They are a mystery through and through and i absolutely love it. Don’t SLEEP on their previous two other albums. You have so much content to go through with them. Enjoy and I’ll be along for the ride. When they preform live they replace the pads with three beautiful singers called vesselettes. Live they are on just another level. Your breakdowns are amazing and show just how amazing this band is. Thank you and much love from Boston
Thanks so much for the kind words and comment! I've never seen Boston, one day though!
To my knowledge all of the instruments played besides the drums is all vessel in the studio someone correct me if I'm wrong
Correct. Only a full band when playing live.
@@BimmyJaywalker and that's so insane that most of what we hear is one man like 🤯
@urfvsuthrngal318 yes apart from the drums. Freakin insane. Vessel is some talent for sure
@@BimmyJaywalker agreed and the drumming in itself is out of this world ii just goes so hard and with such little effort haha like he IS the drums
@urfvsuthrngal318 he's an amazing drummer. In 2 weeks I get the chance to see ST live in Manchester UK 🖤🖤
There is a live version of this song that has the drummer (II) doing a drum solo throughout the middle section leading into the last section. I recommend it for your own enjoyment.
Thanks for the suggestion man
Vessel does the unclean vocals as well. Hearing him do it live is pretty insane.
I can imagine!
Love it! Beautiful confusion!!!
Agreed!
Loved the reaction! I believe you should listen to the live version of The Summoning because in the shows they had this summer, II does a drum solo in the electronic section and is FIRE
Thanks! and Ill take the suggestion!
Love the sleep token reactions so far. I appreciate react channels that can dig deep into the music as opposed to just making faces so you earned my sub.
Also vessel is credited with everything on the albums but drums which II handles. Every sound you hear aside from drums, every vocal is vessel. He has a hand in the production as well. It’s incredible this band is essentially one super talented guy and a crazy good drummer. The bassist and guitarist are touring members for live shows.
Oops.. meant thumbs up!
Thanks for the comment and the sub!!! It's insane that this is 80% one person, insane
Just do the whole album hahaha. Its a masterpiece!
haha, deal!
Your reaction is priceless! I felt the same way when I first heard this. Now, I just groove to it. It's so good!
I love this reaction and breakdown. Awesome channel and knowledge. Chokehold is my personal favorite from this album. Another band with similar prog elements, electronic, djenty, etc is VOLA if you haven’t listened already. I’d check out Witness, their last album and work backwards.
thanks man for the awesome comment. I've never head of vola, guess I need to add them to my list.
@@oldstonerun please do good sir. They are definitely up and coming.
WHOA I never noticed the chanting on the last section. Blew my mind
Vessel does all of the screams on the recorded track but live 4 the guitarist does the screams. You should check out how good Vessel is on Bloodsport from the room below, just him and a piano and also 2s drum playthrough on the Hypnosis track. Then plough ahead with Acseionism. You thought the summoning was wild, and you'll have a complete meltdown on this one😂
lol thanks for the suggestions!
Love love love your breakdown!
thanks so much!
That Funk section has been the reason people have called The Summoning “baby makin music” which is kinda funny to me. I absolutely LOVE this song
Welcome to Sleep Token 😂
Yep all vocals are Vessel. From highs to screams.
He plays all instruments on albums except drums which is II.
III plays bass and IV plays guitar.
They started as touring members but are now full members from what I gather.
Loved seeing you all confused 😂 get used to it, they’re a ride! 🖤
Even the dang falsetto is him and I'm like how the HELL can he sing so high without hurting my skin!
@@chromesthesia he has a beautiful falsetto. I just adore his voice. His vibrato, the emotion in his voice is just *chefs kiss* 🖤
@@TobiiRheaStarr arg his voice is perfection! I want it!
@@chromesthesia I listen to it all day and all night 🤣🖤
Love the comment as always! lol confused I was and still am!
Bro looked like he was in pain when the funk started playing 😂😂
10:50 i was like "NO, don't pause yet" lol
I could not stop laughing at the last part, I freaking love reactions to it!!!
My apologies lol
Worship.
if you want to check out II the drummer's ability there is a playthrough of a couple songs on the last album they posted of him on the drums and it's incredible strongly recommend checking it out.
I definitely have to check out these drum playthroughs!
If you're gonna do any more from the latest album may I recommend the closure Euclid as it's just an incredible piece of music (even more so if you're are familiar with their back catalogue) and a perfect album ending, or Are You Really OK? The reason I suggest the latter is because unlike the majority of this album it's a relatively straight forward and simple song, but yet it's still brilliant. Highly emotional lyrics, minimal vocal effects, finger picking, it's one of their most straight forward songs but yet it works.
Nice comment man. I think you're the first person to mention Are you Really Ok. Makes me intrigued
That guitar rift gives me a paramore vibe vaguely after listening to the rift in decode or just the way its tuned
Well if you want proof he’s also doing the screaming, here’s the best live recording (so far) of them. The Summoning is in the set, along with Vore (has more screams) and the last song, Higher, at the end of the set
ruclips.net/video/b5E7ymvyTP0/видео.html
I didn’t realize my dumbass didn’t even drop the link. Oops lol
The piano plays such an important part in this track. Production wise also very smart: it sounds like it's in the background but the volume of the piano parts really isn't that low.
Very important! Agreed
@@oldstonerun There is a live video of Vessel (that's the singer's stage name) and piano. Track is called Blood Sport (from the room below) and recorded live during a intimate gig. So no wide ambiances, mixes, synth, and so on. Just a man and his piano :)
ruclips.net/video/NdAOUSZLtuY/видео.html
@@meegja this is awesome!
It is hysterical to watch the confusion that people get when hearing this song for the first time!
Also the vocals in the last part fallow the Guitar/keys almost the entire time its played, then when they started with the last half tawords the end when the sound became more full, the 'Choir' has an ambiance added to there sound, to make the sound more full
Nice ears man! I agree!
Chokehold was song 1 of Take Me Back To Eden, The Summoning was song 2. You should do Granite, song 3
man his falsetto is like Darroh Sudderth mixed with leprous and there is a massive Deftones influence.
All of the albums have songs that vary in genre. Vessel and Vessel II are from a different planet. Worship. Vessel does all the vocals and he sounds the same live.
There wasn't an army untill the toolshed, now we have the team slep token ❤️🔥🤫🤯
Hahah it’s a big team!
Lmao I love your reactions!
Lol thank ya!
Sleep Token broke my dude
I believe the genre is "Making Babies In A Church Pew".
haha, sounds about right
vore from sleep token is one of my favorites i appreciate the rawness of it
i spit laughing during the guitar solo XD
Some of Vessel's vocal reverb is him kinda forcing his natural British accent through his vocals.
I've heard that British singers actually have to force their native accents into their vocals since otherwise they sound American (the Brits tend to clip their vowels when speaking, while Americans stretch theirs). It's why we Americans are surprised when we find out a singer is British.
Those stretched vowels are a hallmark of American English in general, but they are also a hallmark of singing in English, especially by a native English speaker.
Great comment and explanation Latonya! Thanks!
Gonna need a hypnosis reaction from you to my guy.
Deal!
Like many people, this was the first song I ever heard from Sleep Token back in January, and I have been obsessed ever since. They've filled a hole inside me I didn't know was there. I cannot state this enthusiastically enough: WORSHIP!
Your reactions of confusion are hilarious.
Haha thanks
Brother! Just WOW!!!
Nate!! Thanks man!
bro is reverse-engineering the stems of the song from the top of his head :D the review is almost as incredible as the song itself
This comment means a lot to me. Thank you!
This song was my introduction to them and it's such an emotional rollercoaster for me, but now I'm hooked! 😂
The Summoning, Chokehold, Acensconism, Rain and Aqua Regia are a solid top 5.
Still making my way through their discography and yet to find a song I genuinely dislike, they're all so good 🙈
11/10 reaction 😂
i really like your reaction videos, so many times with others it feels you wait for 4 minutes of story before they even start to play the song, but you just get right into it, love it! so happy you're liking sleep token, i found them just before they started releasing the singles like this one and instantly fell in love! i just wanted to give a recommendation of maybe going the other way round with the webcam, keeping it fullscreen and putting the video in the corner, your visual reactions are so much more important than the music video! end up with my face against the screen in that little corner haha
