SLEEP TOKEN - 'Alkaline' - REACTION/REVIEW

[@WTR28]

First time listening to this band. The drummer is insane.

[@ciaran1344]

Dude goes off on almost every song. Listen to The Offering as well!

[@sonofholyghost_arefar]

I think the drummer might be Chris Turner from Oceans Ate Alaska maybe...

[@JohnDoeDeMondo]

@@sonofholyghost_arefar no way, Chris plays his set up super weird. Both are insane drummers tho.

[@White2098]

The smile on your face listening to a new sleep token song. I felt that LOL.

[@sidsagar7028]

yeeeee this was like the bomb i didnt expect to drop but im hella glad it did. WORSHIP

[@sirmcbeardslyesq9237]

This song was a great first release for this album. It feels short and sweet, but their songs are so encapsulating that even long songs like Calcutta and The Offering feel short. I can’t wait for more, Worship!

[@Arcdemon44]

I could honestly listen to an entire atmospheric track with that intro for hours. Sleep Token is transcendent, WORSHIP.

[@waltermerchant8149]

The guitars kicking in put a smile on my face too. This song builds beautifully and unleashes so much on the listener!

[@ciaran1344]

This one has immediately shot up into top 3 Sleep Token tracks for me. It has everything I like about this band: catchy vocals, chunky guitar and bass, THOSE DRUMS *chef's kiss*. The way that second verse kicks in with "let's talk about chemistry" is one of my favourite musical moments recently. Plus that breakdown with ambient vocals at the end is just so tasty. It feels like a very natural progression from Sundowning. It wouldn't have felt out of place on that album. Whoever does their production and mixing has nailed a very specific sound for them. That drum tone is very recognisable. I didn't expect Sleep Token to be placing highly on my AOTY list, but if this is any indication it could be a strong contender. Looking forward to hear what variety they bring with future singles.

[@sombreromonkey3995]

Hell yeah Rach, much love like always! you always seem to be able to put my thoughts into words.

[@RachelleReacts]

🖤

[@thewriterwolf9753]

Awesome music video as well

[@RachelleReacts]

For sure!

[@lynnef1988]

On repeat for sure! Love it, and the lyrics are excellent.

[@RachelleReacts]

Agreed!

[@Arthur-72]

Your smile is just gorgeous :)

[@LexiPixeL_]

I was NOT expecting this omg. I am so hyped, super friggin good stuff. Can't wait for the new album. It's gonna be a tough pick for AOTY this year with both Erra and Sleep Token, but we'll see what happens! Hope ya feel a lil better and have a good recovery.

[@thommysguitarcorner4687]

True! While She Sleeps is also a strong candidate though

[@antiashlee]

Such a great song. Can’t explain how excited I am for this album.

[@aaronbolinger1685]

So excited for this album 🖤🔥

[@ReXtion88]

So glad seeing people start to rep this band more, they are utterly unique and absolutely superb. I enjoyed this song from when I first heard it but it's growing and growing on me to the point where I'm getting obsessed with it

[@MrJdub322]

Thanks for the upload! Love sleep token! Love this song! Something interesting I noticed is this song is just over 3 minutes and thirty seconds, I’m sure they will have some longer songs but I’m wondering if they are shooting to get on the radio with a couple of these this time around . Which isn’t a bad thing just something a bit different from the last record. Can’t wait to see what they got up their sleeve with this release, I feel they are going to explode with this one !

[@thestranger1164]

that currents poster in the back really makes me like you more lol

[@karlsimmering460]

Worship!

[@MisterBolticus]

The best UK export on the planet

[@kris1432]

Very excited for some more singles!

[@lindsayellen3852]

Your face was literally identical to mine on first listen. SO AMAZING. I can’t wait for the album…

[@acecrusher0288]

This song has been on repeat for me over the past day. It's just dark, mysterious, melodic, and heavy. It's just full of energy. I just can't wait to hear more from them.

[@mylesfell7589]

This band man, just new levels of feels I didn't know existed.

[@Bonz-vc8zd]

GREAT DISCUSSION!! You probably have great music theory

[@dylandurham9337]

September is going to be so good. New Spiritbox and new Sleep Token a week later. Can't wait!

[@SH-oo5fd]

Great job on your analysis😊

[@RachelleReacts]

thank you very much!!

[@silykely1]

Awesome review. I agree w the other comment the smile that comes getting ready to hear a new track by them.

[@3DomSculpts]

Incredible band. I've listened to Alkaline 100+ times already!!

[@PygmyO]

Not gonna lie, I thought of Katatonia while listening

[@CatchYourBreath]

Recently discovered this track and now it's been on repeat! I think you'll really like our new song we just released the same time as this one!

[@bbhdd6181]

10/10 track and 10/10 reaction

[@grabbindragons4975]

Worship

[@Kedrok]

[@mike0near]

[@CapraDemon101]

[@melianobarro6061]

2:38 is an experience... the goosebumps

[@FearQuest]

Good review! Worship

[@jctheii]

I got the same shirt , and also the white one🖤🤍

[@Pufferzsola]

666. like mwahahahaha! That was the gate song to me, i did not heard of them before. Their music has so much contrast, that i totally got hooked since.

[@jordanwendell6279]

This is not what I expected

[@cannotwaittoseedavanteadam4301]

From the beginning you can tell that it’s a Sleep Token song.

[@maddie22577]

W O R S H I P

[@leonfrost2829]

Oh wow that song was awesome! Oh how come after listing to Sleep Token people say Worship? I don't get it.

[@SeelsOfElation]

The band is a cult that makes music to worship a sleep god who came to lead singer “Vessel” in a dream. Its weird but it’s definitely unique

[@MadailinBurnhope]

I think the deity is called Sleep it's probably a gimmick, but we worship anyway worship

[@leonfrost2829]

@@MadailinBurnhope Sleep? You mean Hypnos? Greek god of sleep. Idk might not be a gimmick. If there not a gimmick then this is the first time in my life i saw a real cult of Hypnos

[@leonfrost2829]

@@SeelsOfElation Hypnos? Greek god of sleep?

[@SeelsOfElation]

@@leonfrost2829 No the god is literally called Sleep. He’s an idea created by the singer, not a historical god

[@Homecoming89]

TIME STOOD STILL THE WAY IT DID BEFORE ITS LIKE I'M SLEEP TOKEEEEN. Sorry.

[@MarcieGirl91]

You're absolutely beautiful! If only you were a lesbian... and lived close by...
