[@METALBIRB]

What's your personal fav track off the new album?

[@hanssaunders3490]

High Water. No contest.

[@DoomedUser4]

For now tie between Atlantic and Telomeres

[@williamsantos-rf1nk]

High Water for sure.

[@rybo0072]

It's between like that and Atlantic for me

[@jctheii]

Telomeres and High Water, but damn every song is so good🖤

[@MisterBolticus]

This record is absolutely drenched in atmosphere

[@XxNoMErcY99xX]

Are you saying that in a good or a bad way?

[@robertharding4777]

I’m drenched after listening to this

[@sebastian-gman]

That Drummer is incredible!

[@craigbillow]

This whole album is brilliant. The dynamics are off the charts. I can't think of anyone else that continuously pushes their boundaries the way Sleep Token does. Gentle reminder to give Nightlife - New Low a listen so I can stop typing this. Love the channel, my dude. ✌️🤘

[@Jalanko13]

Bruh I just looked up New Low and it’s such a great song! Spread the word, fam!

[@craigbillow]

@@Jalanko13 my pleasure! It's such a jam. I have made it my mission to get Birb dancing in his seat to this one. More ppl need to hear these guys.

[@justynsullivan507]

Love the new Sleep Token album. Not pandering to metalcore fanboys and throwing in breakdowns for the sake of breakdowns. It’s, like, REAL music!

[@ABRAsylum]

Why would they pander the metalcore scene when they aren't metalcore, lol?

[@aidanpatman-clark7131]

@@ABRAsylum I mean, they totally aren't metalcore, but for some reason a shit ton of people think they are, so they expect them to be. It's weird.

[@apollolinaire2607]

They're actually barely metal, even. They're some kind of a pop post metal with loads of alternative rock and neo folk influences.

[@jctheii]

Opening riff reminds me of old Breaking Benjamin

[@samuelfavata7583]

Now I hear "So Cold" vibes, thanks for making this song 1000x better in retrospect.

[@jctheii]

@@samuelfavata7583 glad someone else hears it lol and you’re welcome my friend👏🏽

[@xXXxTaRAntuLAxXXx]

How the hell did I not make that connection.

[@zachbrantley3114]

I don’t even know you but I love you now. Thank you.

[@ptbempire]

Last time I heard something this good was When Deftones released White Pony and Around the Fur. Also, when Fightstar destroyed me with Behind the Devil's Back. This album is phenomenal!

[@loz2590]

Listened to this album with my sister and grandma. Can confirm that this song slaps

[@christianhackl474]

With Grandma😂🧓lol

[@chadschulz5096]

I'm jealous of how cool your relatives are

[@stormfire1995]

This sounds like something that would be in an Underworld soundtrack

[@Nahyoutweakin]

i totally see what you mean about the "90s or early 2000s feel". his vocals almost give off a chris cornell vibe on this track

[@AmberVivicide]

I thought the same exact thing

[@Drake45100]

I believe it reminded you of Deftones, like Around the fur. Definitely some inspiration there in the vocals. This album in a whole ist just crazy. My album of the year since no album did break me so hard

[@missinbrain]

I was thinking Beauty School or Minerva as well.

[@Drake45100]

@@missinbrain ah I meant the album as a whole, Not a Song :D

[@inescunha8449]

Aaaarrgh this track does things to me. Such sharp and groovy drums patterns, the breathiness of the vocals, eerie atmosphere and melodies and a stink face breakdown. And layers. Y E S

[@paulschafer5612]

I loved how INSTANT the Vildhjarta reference was!! I did the exact same thing.

[@HeavyReign12]

I KNEW there was a reason I loved High Water so much THALL TOKEN

[@jbasti227]

This whole album is a masterpiece, one of my favorites this year

[@killersmentality911]

Oh good choice of song for this video.

[@samuelfavata7583]

Facts

[@wormierdock1085]

Vessel is unmatched 🔥

[@nvck9297]

I get Katatonia vibes, honestly.

[@Raijin-RyuX24]

@Metalbirb This song has a deftones vibe to it. The entire album is a vibe though.

[@TheJoeldemartino]

reminds me of Leprous a little

[@samrparker1224]

Same! It sounds like part of it (mostly the middle part) is from Malina or another one of their older albums.

[@TheJoeldemartino]

@@samrparker1224 yes!

[@daywalker0082]

I thought I was going to listen to The Spirit box album a lot but this album I have listened to a lot more the is alkaline still my favorite track but dude Atlanta is amazing

[@Siendorf]

Love love this album

[@samransom2852]

Boom smack guitar right in your face at the beginning! Lol🤘worship.

[@avrianobrien]

The dynamics within the songs are awesome but are all over the place when it comes to the album's overall flow I feel like. Still an interesting album nonetheless!

[@TJD405]

That's by design. Think of abstract art.

[@chuckrudin2629]

Check out FIT FOR AN AUTOPSY- Far From Heaven

[@iujadenn]

You should react to sevendust their death and harmony at the same time

[@Thischarletfire]

Atlantic probably my favorite

[@dfrossness]

I wonder if the 90s vibe it reminds you of is Alice in Chains - those complex rhythm patterns, washy guitars and vocals drenched in, well, heroin. To me they're like a 21st century AIC.

[@christopherbeckman1012]

In this song is awesome , it has a Chris cornall vibe

[@MC-rz9pq]

Far from heaven!!

[@armaang96]

Sounds so much like deftones. Digging it

[@HellSpartanZ]

It reminds me of the offering u mean 😏

[@copperdragon9214]

that breakdown said "fuck it, we goin full mushuggah in dis bish"

[@bernardocosta2803]

Check out the new Fit For An Autopsy track, "Far From Heaven"

[@Suspiciousrock]

what play style of drums is this? Jazz?

[@boogaethje]

A friend of mine referred to Sleep Token as being a Djent Jeff Buckley. Djeff Buckley... wasn't event mad.

[@adel_grimm465]

Ah, I thought is song Hypnosis from band Tardigrade inferno

[@user-kn6dq8uw2p]

Dude the one two punch of this and atlantic to start an album tho?? wtf even is this?? 😂😂

[@joshforeman1648]

Please react to the new Fit For An Autopsy track

[@neekeetahh]

Vocals kinda reminded me of Charlie Simpson from Fightstar

[@MsLuke10]

I was thinking the same thing!

[@MiguelRamirez-cr7gh]

If you like Fightstar check out Eightfourseven, specifically the lossless album

[@robosloth1360]

Rivers of Nihil, The Work 🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶

[@matt926uk1]

His vocals sound a bit Jeff Buckley-esque on this track

[@bradanddonnamccann5212]

Totally agree got Grace vibes.

[@caesarn8]

Leprous vibes

[@dkorody81]

Singer reminds me heavily of Snow Patrol.

[@FilthyCasual312]

All of the top comments are from 2+ years ago. I can't believe no-one else has checked back to their lore prior to the newest album. Its a masterpiece of musical story-telling. Also, properly incredible vocals from vessel. It blows my mind that more people aren't reaching back into their older albums after their discoveries.

[@TaerTech]

I mean they are though. It's just not through KZbin or reactions.

[@Riku4667]

vocalist sounds like chris cornell a bit

[@cky3457]

aoty 2021 by MILES.

[@SeelsOfElation]

Wouldn’t say miles personally since The Greatest Mistake Of My Life came out this year but this is also my AOTY 2021 simply because its so refreshing

[@cky3457]

@@SeelsOfElation youre right tons of other great music from this year im just an enormous sleep token simp hehe

[@ohno1body]

Yes, I do think this could be album of the year ;)

[@Pepper_Jvck]

You're probably thinking he sounds like Bon Iver. Or Hozier. Or honestly anyone from that genre.

[@ofthemoon988]

Remind me david bowie

[@karlissulcs3822]

It sounds like HIM, bro, that's what you're looking for.

[@nolankuffner3573]

Personally, I could have done with less vocalizing. It just sounds like the lyricist was too lazy to write better lyrics. Some of the new tracks aren't quite so obvious, but with the recessed amount of guitar and the increased amount of vocalizing, I'm having a much harder time getting into this album. It's not bad, was just hoping for a bit more. And that's tempering my expectations after the last single.

[@KenoxProductions]

I agree with the vocalizing. It can sound a bit self-indulgent to me.

[@richburnsred]

100% agree

[@nolankuffner3573]

@@KenoxProductions exactly the word for it, 100%. And while some bands can be very self-indulgent, I just don't think that that's been the case with Sleep Token in the past.

[@joeyg1463]

Musics always spot on but vessels voice is always doing the same drawn out vocal rolls and stuff i know thats his thing and hes great at it but its becoming a bit over done imo

[@nostradamus2231]

I just don’t think I can support this band, they’re so good, but what the hell is this deity they worship called Sleep, it sound like some sort of cult, they say their music is meant to support Sleep’s message, and their shows are worship, worship of what?!

[@TricksBe4Chicks]

This album honestly bored the shit out of me

[@lukeherndon]

I was beginning to feel like I was the only one that doesn’t go crazy for them. They have some bangers but the whole “worship” thing rubs me the wrong way

[@Nowan2015]

@@lukeherndon what does that have to do with music tho lol

[@HeavyReign12]

@@lukeherndon I get what you're saying, I don't love sleep token as much as everyone else but I have to admit the ending of high water is the best thing I have personally heard all year.

[@lukeherndon]

@@Nowan2015 There are songs of theirs that I LOVE (Jaws, The Offering), but I think their minimalist approach to instrumentation gets boring if there aren’t “wow” parts of songs. And because I feel meh about a lot of songs, the cult stuff kinda turns me off

[@lukeherndon]

@@HeavyReign12 Exactly!! Sleep Token is at their best when they have those bellowing guitars going and letting the drummer do their thing. The drummer is simply popping off in that High Water outro you referenced. A lot of their songs get lost in the shuffle to me because it’s the vocalist singing over ambience for 3 minutes. I will say the Sleep Token songs I like I LOVE
