Indubitably

[@jonnypeacock3113]

0:43 “We have no idea what genre they are” Us fans still have no idea either 😁 Great reaction!

[@lessur]

i will never get tired of seeing people listen to this band for the first time

[@brentonyoung2176]

That whole album is 🔥

[@DoubleTakeJC]

We might have to check it out!👀

[@TheKenpachiAW]

@@DoubleTakeJC As are their older albums. This last one is pretty much the end of a 3 album story. So if you're up for the rabbit hole which is Sleep Token, i'd advise to start where it all began at the first album, which is called Sundowning. It's followed by This place will become your tomb, and the conclusion will be the album Take me back to eden where this song is from. And they have some earlier EPs too. You will not be disappointed. Worship :)

[@duysin4]

This band just hits different and almost doesn't make sense how good they are. Take Me Back to Eden might just be the quintessential ST song, but Ascensionism is definitely my favorite.

[@TeckTheBlooded]

@@duysin4 TMBTE and Euclid is the climax everyone who's heard the journey enjoys, but Ascensionism is one of the best introductions to the band.

[@ryanstockley9495]

There are so many of their songs u guys need to check out for example Alkaline, Chokehold, The Summoning, Vore, Granite, Take Me Back To Eden. The Offering etc

[@Alzoryne]

they’re such mainstream choices. look deeper in to their music don’t just pick the ones everybody knows that’s boring. High Water, Nazareth, Say That You Will, Telomeres, Atlantic, Aqua Regia, Rain… if you’re going to claim to be a fan of their music and say there’s ’so many of their songs you need to check out’ you would know there are better songs than the ones you listed

[@LiorDar]

@@Alzoryne I would also include Dark Signs and Higher:)

[@TripTVx]

@@Alzoryne damn bruh chill out

[@anarchyfork2676]

@@Alzoryne Well I'd be one to recommend even Thread The Needle, but still, the "mainstream" songs especially The Summoning are songs that A LOT of people still have not heard of, and I doubt they would even recognise the name 'Sleep Token' (for now at least). This is because prog metal itself isn't worldwide mainstream, you don't hear it on your main radio station or shopping centre speakers. These "mainstream" songs serve as a gateway into their other albums, ep's and "smaller" songs that even a lot of Sleep Token fans dont usually listen to. Please, as a hardcore ST fan, understand that the popular songs deserve just as much attention as you and I think the other songs do, and they are not bad choices to start on.

[@CurseMyMetalHand]

@Alzoryne People like you are why people hate fanbases. Stop gatekeeping.

[@lolersauresrex8837]

START FROM THE BEGINNING

[@heatherbennett4512]

@lolersauresrex8837 yes I completely agree. They need to start from thread the needle all the way down ♥️♥️

Sleep Token is one of the most amazing and talented bands of all time. Can't wait to see you guys react to more!

[@DoubleTakeJC]

Can’t believe we’ve never heard their stuff before 🤯🤯

[@larquenquen126]

@@DoubleTakeJC it's OK. I've been fan of rock and metal a very long time, and only just discovered them myself this summer. Whenever you find them for the first time doesn't matter, all that matters is that you have discovered them

[@oneysays]

you will not regret going down this rabbit hole if you guys vibed with this track. should do each song from this album. easily 2023's album of the year. absolute fire

[@DoubleTakeJC]

We will 1000% be checking out more!

[@anjal2609]

Her reaction from 6:50 onwards is exactly what I feel often times when listening to ST songs: Closing off to the outside world to be able to fully concentrate on the music. Little head shakes because I cannot believe how good their songs are. Nearly crying. Big smiles and pure joy. And the best part - it still happens even after listening to them over and over again.

[@DoubleTakeJC]

Literally music that you cannot control how your body responds is the best kind

[@Tarel420]

Welcome to the wonderful world of sleep token :D

[@jimronnysrlie8601]

Sleep token just creeps into your brain and tickles all the rights spots. Their lyrics are just so good!! And Vessel's voice is out of this world.

[@kevinbrown3082]

Contains possibly the best line in any song ever. Can you imagine someone making you feel so bad that you wished you could disappear? You don’t have to but, starting from the beginning is a good idea. The journey is well worth it Sleep Token in the studio are just two people. Vessell and ii. I know. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@jstngerald]

Didn’t have Luka Doncic reacting to Sleep Token on my bingo card, but here we are. Staffy on the couch?

[@mo0onst0nedd]

I've seen others liken Sleep Token to "loud ASMR" & it is soo true. I sleep to their offerings every. single. night. The Sleep Token journey is magical & beautiful & mysterious & ethereal & everything in between. You won't regret the ride..WORSHIP! 🖤

[@_gabear]

My top 3 Sleep Token songs are 1. The Apparition(from the same album as Ascencionism) 2. Hypnosis(this one is so hypnotizing, literally) 3. Sugar(this one reminds me of rogue and gambit from xmen)

[@iiitzHimmy]

Take Me Back to Eden was my #1 album of 2023.

[@joshuahadlock7994]

I absolutely love watching people react to sleep token for the first time. Especially Ascensionism. This song is an absolute masterpiece. And it’s even better live. 🙏🏻

[@UnGranSaurio]

Nobody can resist ascensionism🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@tyronecashin4351]

[@CindyLou67]

Excellent reaction! I absolutely love the diversity of Sleep Token. Ty for sharing & I appreciate y’all 💐❤️

[@DoubleTakeJC]

Glad you enjoyed🙌🏼

[@artylols]

Great song to start off with 😂 the “anger” towards the end is spot on. Vessel the singer will purposely use screams or voice cracks to add to the emotion of the lyrics. I’d recommend continue with this album before earlier projects and just avoid the last song Euclid. Great song to end with after you listened to some earlier projects. Looking forward to more sleep token!

[@tomg3460]

Their song Take Me Back To Eden owns my soul

[@chrisdunlap5482]

Well... Here's a brief synopsis. As stated in other comments, there are 4 members. However in the studio, it is just Vessel playing all instruments and singing including his own background vocals and ii playing drums. They have a 3 album cycle that tells one story of working through the stages of grief of a failed toxic romance (likely a past musical partner). It is wrapped in an invented lore about worshiping a deity named Sleep, but underneath the lyrics all fall back to this relationship and how he got over it. Some reactors go on the full journey in order and that is rewarding, but not necessary. Other songs that are fun to check out are Take Me Back to Eden, The Summoning, Bloodsport (I prefer the version "From the Room Below"), Higher, and Sugar (if you are feeling saucy). But I love almost all their songs.

[@craftistic82]

@@chrisdunlap5482 "and ii playing drums" Understatement of the century. Guy is a percussion maestro 🙏 he orchestrates so much sound

[@chrisdunlap5482]

@craftistic82 No offense was intended. :) I was just highlighting the creativity of Vessel. Without a doubt, ii is one of the best drummers I have ever heard (it's hard to top Danny Carey in my mind, but ii may). There's a reason he shares the songwriting credits with Vessel. He is vital to the sound and a joy to experience live. So I 100% agree with your comment.

[@jeremyjames6456]

Any song that you do from this band can follow that song. Sleep token does not miss awesome reaction guys!!

[@DigitalD20]

Literally all of Sleep Token. The 3 albums are a trilogy. Start with Sundowning, then This Place Will Become Your Tomb, then Take Me Back to Eden. After that hit the EP tracks too.

[@TheGirfGirf]

"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 I think Vessel perfectly sums up the genre-bending sound of Sleep Token. Remove any genres from your mind, close your eyes, and worship!

[@Haydon.F.]

So envious that this was the first Sleep Token you two experienced. Really dig your vibe, guys. Big up

[@DoubleTakeJC]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@simonebravo4772]

Welcome to one of the most surprising bands of the last two decades. "Take me back to eden" is a must listen by them.

[@jonathanbradshaw2665]

I don't mind being JonJon, for you guys. Sooo glad you enjoyed it, it's amazing isn't it? You can try anything off this album but 'Take Me Back to Eden' is my 2nd Favourite if you want to try another materpiece level piece of work.

[@christopherhuff9883]

Saw them in Philadelphia, absolutely blown away, but I want to see them in London on their home turf!!! They’re so unbelievable!!!

[@Rustee42]

Welcome to the rabbit hole. Strap in and enjoy it. Every last bit of it. Start with Chokehold and work your way through Take Me Back To Eden in it's entirety. You won't regret it.

[@KashtheDegen]

Love your reaction to ST and definitely here for it! Welcome to the rabbit hole of Vessels (singer) mind. He is an absolute genius lyrically and how he delivers them makes it criminal. Each genre change is used in a way to convey emotion and it’s feels unreal. Like you are there with him feeling the same thing. Look up the lore cause it lends understanding of everything ST. You are going to hear calls for you to start from the beginning but I recommend to listen to a few more key songs from their most recent album “Take Me Back To Eden” before you decide to take the journey. We are all here for this! If you play ST, the fans will come! Worship!

[@charlesarmstrong901]

The greatest band I’ve ever heard !!! My co-worker showed me them like 6 months ago and I cannot go a day without them their music just touches my soul !!❤❤ it’s so much more than music

The desperation of a man who wants to leave this earth to escape the pain and hurt. It’s followed by ‘Are You Really Okay’. That same person looking back in from the outside after trying to ‘ascend’………. So heartbreaking and sad. 😢

Really nice reaction! This band is phenomenal. I saw them live this year and it was incredible, full of emotion, mystery and just exceptional musicianship. Their music takes you through pain, insecurity, longing, anger, desire, heartache and hope. Someone said they share feelings you’ve always had but couldn’t put into words. I will, from time to time, put my headphones on and listen to their entire discography. it’s worth it to listen to their discography (2 EP’s, some singles and 3 full length albums that are a trilogy of sorts) in order but that would be a lot of reactions! But I am here for it if you do! But if you don’t want to do that I would recommend (and just my humble opinion): Thread the Needle - the start The Night Does Not belong to God The Offering Sugar Higher Blood Sport from the room Below Atlantic Hypnosis Alkaline Missing Limbs Chokehold The Summoning Aqua Regia Ascensionism The Apparition Rain Euclid - The Conclusion
