MIND BLOWN 🤯 | American REACTS to Sleep Token - Take Me Back To Eden

[@shanewhite1977]

"Life is dark. Life is bright. Life is ugly. Life is beautiful. Dont get lost in genres, they'll only disorientate you. Music is for everyone." - Sleep token in a 2017 interview the only interview they have done

[@thegooniverse495]

II did an hour long interview on drumeo

[@TheGirfGirf]

Worship! 💜

II did one with drummeo great video should watch!!

[@Caldyman]

Sleep Token is in my opinion one of the best bands in the last 10 or 20 years. Saw them live in May. An experience I highly recommend.

[@StarStuffGal321]

I saw them in May as well! What an experience!!!

[@sunnyshonelle]

5/4/24 was the day I saw hundreds come together as one being and it changed my life forever.

[@MerMadeIt]

​@sunnyshonelle dallas...I was there too...on the lawn! Most magical experience! For it to start raining during Rain...ethereal!!!

[@cocoacrimson]

I've seen a few reactors who said they didn't like the ending, but I LOVE the ending. Vessel said he was going to bite back in anger, and he freaking DID.

[@The0Miller0]

I feel like that small twang right before the last chorus (13:35) kind of gave away the heavy ending. I had a feeling after listening to Sleep Token for so long I was literally thinking “I HEARD THAT! DO IT! DO IT!”

[@heatherbennett4512]

If you keep listening and reacting on here, the fans will come. We need something to get us by til November, and we love people finding sleep token.

[@KashtheDegen]

Facts!!! Also, reactions feed our need to listen to the songs for the very first time…again.

[@heatherbennett4512]

@@KashtheDegen oh totally haha. If I could hear their songs again for the first time, I think I'd cry.

November?

[@heatherbennett4512]

[@HIM_066xMusicReactions]

Ty friends for watching -- stay tuned for more reactions 🤜🏾

[@duysin4]

That last section is what he meant by "bite back in anger" lol. TMBTE was also my first ST song, then listened to Ascensionism - and that's all it took for ST to become one of my absolute favorite bands.

[@100andrea100]

"this part resonates with my soul" is how i feel each time😢

[@I_am_Felii]

fun fact: Sleep Token, in the studio, is basically two people. The bassist and the guitarist (III and IV respectively) are only touring members. The instrumentals (keys, guitar and bass), the writing, composition, lyrics, some production and the overall artistic direction of the band are all done by the singer, Vessel. What is left are basically the drums, which you guessed it are done by the drummer II.

[@dalemedlock6214]

And a producer usually but yeah mostly Vessel

[@I_am_Felii]

@@dalemedlock6214 that's why I wrote some production yeah

[@dtmjr34]

Totally missed that sorry

[@jimmyknox2718]

This isn’t true anymore since the end of the trilogy III and IV are now productive members of the band for their next steps. This came about when they got their own social medias

[@CorruptInsurgence]

Leo Faulkner

[@YogiGeek]

Their entire discography is great, but this latest album has something for every mood. Jazz? Aqua Regia Rock? Rain Classic Rock Ballad? Are you really ok More hybrid? Ascentionism I will say, if you like emotional masterpieces, look up their song Bloodsport (the room below version). You’ll see Vessel play the keyboard and sing his heart out. Great reaction, looking forward to seeing more.

[@HIM_066xMusicReactions]

I appreciate you pointing me in the right direction -- I'll added to the list 🙏🏾

[@matiasmora1045]

heavy metal? Vore type of electric metal? Chokehold Pop progressive metal? Granite Nostalgia metal 😢? Euclid (u now what I mean)

[@alexandraprince6646]

Im a winged insect, your a funeral pyre is my favourite line in the song, such a better way of saying like a moth to a flame 🙌🏻

[@JohnDoeDeMondo]

Their entire discography is an auditory movie (great description btw). Listen to "The night does not belong to god" (first song on the first full length album), and then "Euclid" (last song on the latest album). Its crazy how they write music. Vessel is the vocalist and write all the music along with the drummer who goes by the name "II". Other members are just traveling musicians for the live shows. The rabbit hole is beyond worth the time. Worship!

[@HIM_066xMusicReactions]

I appreciate you g -- ty for educating me oh .....no am I part of the cult now 😭 I keep seeing worship in the comments 😂😭

[@JohnDoeDeMondo]

@@HIM_066xMusicReactions absolutely man! The lore behind it all is very intriguing to fans. The mask is more for him than it is for the show of it all, he sings with such emotion that it helps him be comfortable with being that vulnerable. Enjoy the ride and welcome to the club! 😂

[@ShriempScampi]

The traveling musicians actually became part of the band as "III" and "IV" FYI

[@fernandopinzon1578]

Best album in the past 20 years. it is so complete lyrics and vocals take you on a journey and if you been in a toxic relationship then you feel every single word.

[@tjh5716]

You may be right. It’s reinvigorated my passion for music.

[@KashtheDegen]

This is probably one of the most epic if not the most epic ST songs. The feels in it grab you cause ST convey emotion and feeling through genres and lyrics. When Vessel is sad/happy the mood is soft. When Vessel is pissed or feels upset, the music changes genres and lyrics become more straight forward. When Vessel is angry the music goes hard and the vocals go guttural. Vessel wants you to feel what he feels and holy shit does it freakin work! I am a 42 year old man that loves Metalcore music and ST has captivated me. I can’t remember the last time music has brought me to tears. I love this band! Worship!!!!!

[@merpinallday]

Oh wow I finally stumbled upon a ST reaction that JUST happened. Can't wait to see more. Their latest album is genre bending at its finest and their lyricism is on another level.

[@mattthompson5908]

Sleep token is wild. All over the place. Doing whatever they want. And it's great they make it make sense

[@HIM_066xMusicReactions]

yeah they were moving through genres like a k-pop group 😂 but it worked 😭 and I'm excited to listen to some more of their music

[@LaneLaine4892]

​@@HIM_066xMusicReactions brother. Go look t The Summoning, and come back to me after that 😂😂😮😮

[@JaffaIrons183]

People will say Ascensionism next. But there's no underselling hitting Chokehold or Granite for #2. Great video. Worship

[@TheNamesFathom]

Ascensionism is my favourite song ever (at least at the moment), but it only hit as hard as it did because I heard songs like Granite and Chokehold before it. Definitely with you here

[@JaffaIrons183]

@@TheNamesFathom exactly. Also, too many people back to back TMBTE and Ascensionism and because they are (very deliberately) similar in structure the impact of the songs evolution is diminished. There is a reason the 4 slowest, and more low key tracks separate these on the album.

[@stonekeeper09]

Granite or High Water 🌊 LFG!!!!!

[@SuperCripple]

Their genre is art.

[@HIM_066xMusicReactions]

💯💯💯

[@BrotherOrca]

I really loved this reaction. I can tell you're someone who listens to music passionately. Thanks for taking the time to check this out. PLEASE do more Sleep Token.

[@LedaXI]

Subbed for Sleep Token! Someone suggested The Night Does Not Belong to God, and yes! Start at the (almost) beginning and let the story take you all the way to Euclid. It is an amazing, beautiful, emotional journey and worth every second. Vessel's voice is so versatile. I'm so excited to see what ST song you'll discover next.

[@natalieneumann8875]

this song is just so unbelievable

[@rabidsmiles]

I live vicariously through those who are experiencing this amazing band for the first time. I love seeing that wtf when it changes.

[@danielboyd3077]

100% why I do this a couple times a week. We are all connected in it. Cheers.

[@tommyswife05]

I tell anyone who hasn't listened to sleep token that their music is an experience. It isn't just beats and words. Every part makes you FEEL a roller coaster of emotions!

[@dgt83]

I came across your channel by accident today, and thought I'd check it out as I'm big into Sleep token and reactions to their music are always good to watch (especially if they watch a few different songs...), but if you check out some more Sleep Token I'll be sure to follow and keep watching!

[@66slyder]

VESSEL is his name and he does it all

[@Radio_Grayskull]

Three albums, two EPs, one single, and they literally don't have a song that's not in some way a total banger. Welcome. Worship.

[@venomstellium]

I’ve been a sleep token fan for years - and yes, if there was any song I had to use to introduce someone to them, it woulda been this bc of what you said - they do it ALL in this song, lol! My recommendations for other Sleep Token reactions are: The Summoning, The Offering, Rain, Hypnosis, Ascensionism, Alkaline, Higher

[@drummerjames91]

Welcome to the Sleep Token journey, worship

[@Shannynjams]

MORE PLEASE. SUBSCRIBED. Yelling because I love this band so much and I think you will too. 🥰

Sleep Token is pure art. Worship.

[@laurameyer5660]

If you really like the change up in this you should listen to The Summoning the funky groove at the end will get you hooked. 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@StarStuffGal321]

Jinjer….Imminence….now Sleep Token! A man after my heart lololol. You’re becoming one of my favorite reactors! I think you will like The Apparition or Ascensionism or Like That. But their entire discography is 🔥

[@HIM_066xMusicReactions]

I can't take all the credit our community has amazing taste in music!!! TY for putting me on i'll add these to the list!!!

[@ariana.cherise]

if you decide to react to more sleep token, i would highly recommend going back to their first EP’s and first album and going in chronological order, then coming back to this song during your listen to their most recent album (also called take me back to eden) makes it HIT so much different this band is SO special, keep listening to them and reacting and the people will come and watch you react. sleep token fans LOVE watching people fall down the rabbithole and inevitably ending up loving the band 🥹

[@JayKayOkie]

I'm here for more sleep token reactions. Let's go!

[@metalmarcus]

Great reaction. Thanks 🙏

[@Dyrtbag68]

Al Bacio- is the term for chefs kiss. It sounds better as well. Remember this video with the black tar when you finally get to "Euclid" AT THE END PEOPLE. Let him experience more than two songs before you have him listen to the epilogue or conclusion of the three album story.

[@stephendavis75]

Sleep Token awesome live

[@Angel-Andromeda]

if you are going to listen to ST I would highly suggest you stop where you are, go back to the very beginning to EP One. and move in chronological order. it will just make the experience all the more impactful when you get to Euclid on TMBTE.

[@jordiemagortie20]

Absolutely listen to the whole album, its an experience.❤

[@TB-sp9jy]

Today is a great day to Worship ❤ If you're going to listen to more, keep it to this album, dont go back to the beginning right away like so many will suggest. This album is a masterpiece above every morsel of music I've ever experienced.

Rabbit hole is deep with them… enjoy

[@joyjoyz778]

My favorite band❤

[@jimmydean7219]

Dude sleep token is a huge journey. Not a bad song in the bunch, all with a connecting theme. This album in particular, they call back to songs as far back as their first LP. Highly recommend reacting to the albums by tracklist order. So in this instance, the first song for Take Me Back to Eden would be “Chokehold.” Would not be mad at all, though, if you just started with their first LP and worked your way forward.

[@karaf533]

I love when the algorithm sends me new Sleep Token reactors!

[@ColdSteel-dz3pf]

I fkn love their music

Sleep Token fans will always come through for these type of videos. The feeling of discovering Sleep Token is like nothing else, and getting to watch someone on that journey is always a joy.

[@svbg869]

In all honesty, this music is a good experience in any order. But the best order is album by album.

[@TheJenoire]

Totally agree. How else would you get the callbacks, the story, the emotion? I feel a little sad that his first experience was actually the penultimate song from a trilogy of albums, but I love his reaction!

[@HIM_066xMusicReactions]

lol I am known for jumping around haha one week might be the oldest song and the following week their latest song. I typically listen follow the comments 😅

[@richardpowelljr.3069]

A certain niche reacting can not be deemed American reacts. Blatant disregard to those that already know as they find joy in this genre of music and enjoy it. Far to narrow. I love all things heavy. Sleep token, Manson, Metallica, slaughter to prevail, falling I reverse, abominable putridity, venom, disturbed, slip knot, korn, lorna shore, arch enemy, raised on 80's hair bands (poison, wasp, ratt, skid row, twisted sister), slayer anthrax, ozzy, that's me.

[@clawme3332]

Fantastic band, fantastic music. But their live shows are less than what people say they are because they’re live. The fans themselves are also becoming a huge problem with their gatekeeping and over sexualizing of the members
