AbiGirl's 1st time listen & reaction to "The Apparition" by Sleep Token!

[@toddmueller8948]

Sleep Token is such a crazy rabbit hole. Between the lore and the inter-connected nature of the songs there's just so much to process.

[@Abigirl_Reacts]

I bet! I'm willing to hear more

[@surfdeprived]

This is a good example of why people should probably include links if they're trying to get something reacted to. Good Band, though.

[@Abigirl_Reacts]

Yea i was confused but I'm willing to give sleep token another try

[@audivawalsh2983]

Ooh Sleep Token, you're going to love them! As others have said this is not the full song, and you're right it's not them. They release under their own name and there's a full version with just the album cover. I also love Granite, Euclid and Rain from that album. The Ass thing about this is that you're watching a different song's MV.

[@Abigirl_Reacts]

Geez I had no clue, explains my confusion!

[@Malty1986]

More Sleep Token please!

[@Abigirl_Reacts]

Which one?

[@vardansahakian]

dear this is not the full versio of this song

[@Abigirl_Reacts]

That sucks! I didn't know that

[@ranahooke1907]

Sadly this was only part of the song.. but I appreciate your reaction!!! ❤❤❤

[@Abigirl_Reacts]

How long is the full song?

[@ohTHATaaronbrown]

Sleep Token confuses me too, it's not just you :) One thing to know about them is that they're an anonymous band. No one has ever come out and said "I'm a member of Sleep Token." Which is interesting, all by itself. I find that for me, the drummer is the standout member.

[@rhyshutchin5]

ii is an amazing drummer.

[@Abigirl_Reacts]

Ii as in 2?

[@ohTHATaaronbrown]

@@Abigirl_Reacts yep, II as in Roman numeral 2 :)

[@rhyshutchin5]

@@Abigirl_Reacts yep! The band members are Vessel (lead singer), ii (2) drummer, iii (3) bass and iv (4) guitar and backing vocals As well as Espera who are female backing vocalist (I think)

[@rhyshutchin5]

Another decent reaction Abigirl but i will preface something. Not every song or artist will have music videos so it's best not to get caught up trying to understand a compilation video someone has made as context will have been thrown out the window. Now in terms of context to Sleep Token, the album this song is off, Take Me Back To Eden, has a very clear message that can only be appreciated after playing the entire album. I would love for you react to each and every song off this album, but only if you react to their videos, even if it's only a visualizer (which most are), as watching you get confused (through no fault of you're own) detracts from the reaction as you miss vital parts of songs and the story being told. Small teething problems as a up and coming reactor but I'm here for the ride, ESPECIALLY if its Sleep Token and BABYMETAL related 💤💤💤 🤘🦊🤘

[@Abigirl_Reacts]

I didn't even realize it was a compilation, dang it! I didn't see an official video

[@rhyshutchin5]

@@Abigirl_Reacts they have their own youtube channel with their songs on there. Great place to start. Also be wary of a lot of random lyric videos as many of them stuff the lyrics up due to vessels accent and annunciation

[@ranahooke1907]

This video was very distracting.. it was parts from other Sleep Token videos pieced together. Fan made.

[@Abigirl_Reacts]

Aw man I had no clue :(

[@daggerSLADE]

Yeah this isn’t the official video … it even says “unofficial video” at the top .. it has clips from other videos and it didn’t even start at the beginning of the song .. fail

[@Abigirl_Reacts]

Yes I knew it was unofficial as I said that in the video, I just didn't see the official one when I searched. This is the first time i heard this band, how was i to know it had different clips from other videos or that it didn't start at the beginning lol I don't know. That's why I said I need to hear more.

[@eliastrivero9075]

As a very first impression of sleep token, this video wasn't the best option, spoiling you almost every music videos of theirs, we know it's not your fault and to be fair, I personally think that no one gets a very clear idea of what sleep token really is at their first listen so let's see it that way. Hope you'll keep descovering these guys' art :) (sorry for basic english :p )

[@Abigirl_Reacts]

Not bad at all, I understood completely!

[@daviddodd7581]

New to this band to and i agree with what you said i just could not focus on the lyrics for some reason and i played it a few times.I will be listening to more Sleep Token because i don't think you can judge a band on one song, its just this one did not do much for me.And a great honest reaction again Abi♥

[@Abigirl_Reacts]

I said the same thing, yes! I agree 💯

[@brentkelsay3439]

What if the sensation of you getting your head touched was you getting a "sleep token"?!? 🤯😁 I discovered Sleep Token earlier this year, they're amazing, please keep going! I discovered them as one of the influences on an incredible young band Freeze the Fall. Other influences include The Warning (!), Spiritbox, and Bring Me The Horizon. Check out Freeze the Fall's amazing originals Daughters of Witches and VHS!🤘

[@Abigirl_Reacts]

Thanks for the suggestions! ^_^

[@stornowayscotland]

Thank u for the reaction of course you look stunning as always 😊

Abi, I am not sure - but you are always more into empathy side of experiance. And it`s hard to feel emphatic if a guy does everything in his power to build and keep a wall (mask) or distance between him (as a person) and the Spectator. For me this is a favorite song of Sleep Token, but this unoficial video makes zero sense and serves as a distraction. I am very confused that the requester didnt provide you with any links. If you jad lisyened just to a stripped simple audio track without any video details + the lyrics you would get a very different impression on this.

[@Abigirl_Reacts]

I agree 💯 because that explains my confusion! I didn't know it at the time about the compilation but I do figured i needed to hear more ^_^

[@DingleBingus-i2t]

Don't really see how you can blame the requester and not the reactor themselves when the video literally says unofficial video. Looking up the song title will literally give you two videos that are much better than the one in the video. The first one being the official upload from sleep token themselves, the second one being a lyric video. It's not wonder they didn't feel the music when they were too focused on the video that made no sense. Like in the future, just listen to the official upload from the band your listening to or pull up a lyric video (even though sleeptoken fans cannot hear lyrics correctly and upload lyric videos with the wrong lyrics.). I feel like this is just basic internet literacy.

[@inviz88]

I would suggest actually going to the artists channel and looking for the song. It would have taken 30 seconds to do.

[@Abigirl_Reacts]

I feel like I did that but I didn't find any music video so I searched elsewhere.

[@KaiSyversen]

Welcome to Sleep Token. :)

[@Abigirl_Reacts]

Thanks 😊

[@mkennedy319]

This fan made video should be stricken from youtube. It's such a disservice to the music.

[@Abigirl_Reacts]

I heard... but didn't realize it during the reaction :(

[@mkennedy319]

@@Abigirl_Reacts Not your fault. I just hope you keep trying.

[@wickedPrints3256]

This was not the right video. Sorry this happened to you.

[@Abigirl_Reacts]

I know, I'm so upset because it's my first experience with sleep token

[@dalj4362]

Shame you reacted to some badly edited fan video. I had to stop watching after 30 seconds.

[@Abigirl_Reacts]

Sadly being the first time I've heard of sleep token, I had no idea this was even a compilation!

[@carriefish]

Oh no, who made that video? 😫 hurts my heart that this was your first taste of Sleep Token 😢 please treat yourself to a proper full-length track, none of the fan-made videos or lyrics videos. 🥲

[@Abigirl_Reacts]

Oh man, I didn't know! I knew i needed to hear more!

[@carriefish]

@Abigirl_Reacts I know you didn't know, that's okay! Not mad at you at all 😂 I highly recommend giving Sleep Token another go. I think that Ascensionism, The Summoning, The Offering, Atlantic, and Like That (in that order) are some great first-time Sleep Token tracks 🫶🏻✨️ Ascensionism, in my humble opinion, is one of the greatest songs ever written. They don't have a bad song, each one is a gorgeous and unique experience. I hope you give them another listen! Subbed ✨️
