There was also "cafe" noises in the instrumental ! You can hear the song as if its in a "jazz lounge"

[@oldstonerun]

Thats so awesome! Now I have to go back and listen again lol

[@australianwi-fi]

Yes, I love that! People chatting and laughing, cutlery hitting plates, doors closing/opening, chairs shuffling. It really transports you to a cafe in a city

[@caatje-go]

I’m so glad to hear you say “These guys do something to me inside, musically” cause that’s exactly how I feel. It’s so rare to find a band that you LOVE every song by. No matter the mood you’re in, they’ve got you covered. Loved the reaction! The faces you make are hilarious (and recognizable).

[@oldstonerun]

lol, as always, thanks for the great comment! I absolutely agree with you.

[@RPZSTA]

I think his voice is very different because he SINGS with his accent where alot of british people do not! thats what gives him such a unique voice! He is really playing on its strengths!

[@oldstonerun]

Absolutely!

[@YogiGeek]

Your face during the piano solo flourish had me craaaaacking up. Love your reactions so much. It’s fascinating to see how you consume music.

[@oldstonerun]

lol! Man thanks so much for the awesome comment!

[@andreah5554]

I enjoy your recognition and analysis of the layers and shifts within the songs. They truly put a lot of work into building so much into each song it is hard to stop listening.

[@InBottles]

Just wanted to say you’re one of my current favorite reactors, so insightful, and passionate about music. a treat to watch. I truly appreciate you! Vessel might just be my favorite vocalist (overall musician) i’ve heard in a while. i agree he has such an interesting way of phrasing words, and keeping his accent while singing definitely adds to the uniqueness. an example i can think from the top of my head is the way he says “algorithm” in the song ascensionism . it’s insaneeee. it’s all so intensional and executed so well. i have the pleasure of being able to see them live in a month and I just know it’s going to be an otherworldly experience.

[@oldstonerun]

Thanks soo much for this comment! Thank you! I agree with everything you said here too. Also, I'm jealous you get to see them live!!! Where at?

[@InBottles]

@@oldstonerun Of course no problem! cant wait to see which songs you discover next :) I’m seeing them at Webster Hall, NYC. 1500 capacity, so it’s gonna be a quite intimate show for such a huge band. i’m glad it’s for them!!

[@acatlover138]

@@InBottles lucky (in Napoleon Dynamites voice) lol. I’m so jealous. 1500? That should get you some fairly good shots. Please share your experience with us🙏🏻🥂

[@hoangal]

I can relate, I'm flying in to Saint Louis intentionally for the smaller venue to experience a more intimate concert. Saw them last year when they were just an opening act here in the states. I am counting down the days!!!

[@oldstonerun]

@@InBottles ahh that’s so awesome!!!

[@mattmcginley7]

Wait until you hear Vore and find out that's next on the album after this

[@mattmcginley7]

Also, Aqua Regia is amazing. No other band in rock or metal could ever pull this off

[@NahIamgood]

Aqua regia into Vore shouldn't work but it does. I don't know how they do it, I guess it's just the twists and turns of the story that's being told that makes everything make sense

[@oldstonerun]

Yea man, this one was so much different than all of the other ones I've listened to so far. I agree, I can't think of another band that could pull this song off, to this level

[@gerardomorales4078]

You can say it, there is no one out there like Vessel. One of a kind moment in time here. #worship

[@oldstonerun]

lol I was hesitant to say it on video

[@YogiGeek]

Did you feel the Oxytocin running through the ether? Excited to see how you liked this one!

[@oldstonerun]

Niceeeeeee!

[@Randallcobb56]

yk what man watching you gives me the exact same feeling as when i heard the song for the first time. I would still kill to experience the song for the first time, but the feeling in my ears and in my chest is the same and its absolutely euphoric

[@oldstonerun]

Thanks man for the comment, this band does something to me that's for sure

[@DJ_Digi]

Such a genuine reaction and precise analysis👌. The way how he pronounces "swinging"...damn he always got me there😂

[@oldstonerun]

Thanks!

[@kellysober9352]

Love you for doing all the Sleep Token. Nothing else out there like them.

[@KashtheDegen]

You know your music! Love how you give your take on ST songs. With your musical talent, I can see how ST can get frustrating trying to decipher. I just give in and let it take me to another world! Cheers!

[@UnXplainable1]

Ha! I love that the big surprise in this one was no surprise at all - just a straightforward song structure that stays in its lane from start to finish. No matter what, they’ll always keep you guessing. Great reaction and breakdown, as always!

[@oldstonerun]

lol, I kept waiting for a wild change, and when it didn't happen... I wasn't let down! It was such a great song! Thanks for the kind words as always!

[@vauhner81]

The feel of this one is straight out of the Jamiroquai album Virtual Insanity. Jazz / Acid Jazz. There isnt anything Vessel seems to be challanged by.

[@zenw8]

Yaaay! Thank you for doing this gem, everyone seems to skip it, easily on the top 3 in the album

[@oldstonerun]

Thanks man! It's an amazing song!

[@norahdenovan8658]

These guys actually have my stomach churning& they make cry 🤦‍♀️❤️I adore them WORSHIP indeed ❤

[@collierpeoples1918]

If you haven't done Acensionism yet, its an absolute must!!!

[@oldstonerun]

I sure did!

[@vertigo8765]

I'm so excited for you to get to Vore! You're in for a treat. Worship!

[@oldstonerun]

Thats what I keep seeing man, I gotta do it next

[@gmdragon117]

I love that Aqua Regia exists! Soo good 😁

[@Bonz-vc8zd]

I think that “Hey!” is a sample from the drum machine.

[@sqwashsilver]

This one is my current favorite

[@jadeH23.16]

Pumped for this one! I would love to see you check out higher by sleep token! Such a beautiful song!

[@earthscorcher]

Big agree!

[@jadeH23.16]

He would love the offering as well!!

[@oldstonerun]

Thanks! Higher, I don't think anyone has mentioned that one yet. And the fact that no one else has, makes me want to listen to it before the other ones!

[@oldstonerun]

Also, just checked out your cover for Chokehold! Hell yea!! I subbed for sure! Great vocals and playing!

[@jadeH23.16]

@@oldstonerun aw thanks so much man! Means alot❤ that was a one take , but at some point i hope to record it properly😭 So glad you liked it!!! Sleep token just has such a captivating sound, its just beautiful!

[@bobbyt9097]

Absolutely love your videos. I appreciate their music so much more having had your insight. Are you going to be covering any of their older material? It would be great to see the contrast.

[@oldstonerun]

Ah man thanks so much! Lol, by the time its said and done, I'll probably cover every Sleep Token song for sure

[@bobbyt9097]

@@oldstonerun love to hear it. Have a good weekend. 👍🏻

[@oldstonerun]

@@bobbyt9097 hell yea you too man

[@chocolatecoveredgummybears]

i wanna see him cover older songs too. i learn every new bits of a song from every song i watch him react to, haha

[@oldstonerun]

@@chocolatecoveredgummybears let me see what I can do lol

[@SnoozR-sq2id]

A touch of theory with sleep token - please sir, continue. All of the Sleep Token songs please!!!!

[@robotwaifuengineer]

Worship.

[@NahIamgood]

It's an absolute pleasure to come back to your channel, even if it's not sleep token. I wanna be so knowledgeable about music but all I can do is just feel it, not much brain work :( Can't wait for you to hear Vore that comes after the jazzy Aqua Regia

[@oldstonerun]

Thanks so much for the awesome comment! Lot of the times, just having a feeling, or an emotional connection to music, is better than having a musical knowledge connection.

[@collierpeoples1918]

Oh the easter eggs are endless in this discography, and most def don't point that out!! Love your breakdown, we def need you to do more Sleep Token!!

[@oldstonerun]

Thanks!! I’m definitely doing more!

[@mkennedy319]

Vessel is the J.J. Abrams of music. Layers of thinking hard to hear everything.

[@oldstonerun]

Coincidentally I'm a big JJ Abrams fan as well!

[@josefgordon7712]

Snaps and pianos and magic 🎶

[@acatlover138]

That’s so funny you said Kenny G. First listen I literally thought Branford Marsalis was gonna step in😂

[@oldstonerun]

haha right!

[@InfamousDominion]

What till he gets to Euclid and realizes it’s like a musical tune. Opps, have i said to much? 😂

[@oldstonerun]

No spoilers! lol

[@edelwiess2306]

The fact that they even manage to make it sound better live somehow, and every song for that matter, totally blows my mind! Great reaction! 😊

[@JewelsLeigh]

Once you get to listen to the album from Chokehold to Euclid, it makes sense.

[@oldstonerun]

Gotcha

[@StarStuffGal321]

I continue to enjoy your reactions!!! Love hearing ST through your “processor” 😀

[@oldstonerun]

thank you so much!

[@AaronSmithDrums]

I respect the hesitancy when you want to say there’s no one else like Vessel and Sleep Token because I’m the same way haha. there’s so much beautiful and moving and one of a kind music out there, but after this album, I truly believe this is THE band and THE human who is the most unique in the sense that every song is so unquestionably distinguishable, on top of his ability to quite literally write a song in any genre. not just play a section of a genre that is different than the rest of the song, which is hard enough to do tastefully, but write multiple songs in completely different genres. this band is numero uno for me man. love how much you loved this song. still got 4 or 5 songs left hahaha I’m so excited. VORE NEXT 🫡🫡🫡

[@oldstonerun]

Aaron!!!! What's up man!? Dude I was so hesitant to say that about Vessel on video lol. But it's the truth! I gotta do Vore next! It's hard not listening to these songs till I have time to record a video lol!

[@beardedwonderstudios]

You got a Thumbs Up for the sweaty palms, but you got a sub for Kenny G. I'll stick around and wait for Kenny to show up as a subscriber!

[@JoeyBagOdonuts.]

Hello from Chicagoland.. new sub here.. you showed up on my Roku YT feed an this review blew my mind. Most descriptive one yet.. so now I gotta go back an re.listen closer.. That's awesome. Thanks !!!

[@oldstonerun]

Man, thanks so much for the comment and kind words! This means a lot to me!

[@Gahanika]

My favourite song from them, so so amazing and indeed too short!

[@andrewj3398]

I think the offering would be a great song for you guys to do next to sleep token, considering they usually close their sex with that song. It’s definitely an epic part of their portfolio.

[@treysalter8279]

i love seeing people come at it from an instrument standpoint instead of lyrics, Vessels lyrics are so dynamic and i think it’s a “however you perceive it” structure with his (obvious) meaning for himself, but seeing people enjoy the instrumentation is so nice too. it’s a perfect instrumentation/vocalist scenario with them/him

[@vitalsteve1]

this band makes me feel emotions from music again, something only game music has done ¯\_(''-)_/¯

[@hoangal]

Sounds like somebody might be a Soken fan 🤔 😉

[@vitalsteve1]

yasunori mitsuda and nobuo uematsu as well

[@JoeyBagOdonuts.]

Ps.. VORE. You're in for a treat !!

[@oldstonerun]

I gotta listen to that one next. Theres just so much good music out there right now to listen to!

[@WyllowNorth]

Brother, how do you hear all these things on the first listen? I've listened to this 100 times and I hadn't noticed the re-introduction of the "heys" in the chorus hahaha. Incredible

[@ronniestrickland825]

Hell yes man! This one is one of my tops on the album for sure, and was such a welcome surprise when it came out. Being a jazz musician at heart, hearing them drop this incredible track alongside all the other greats that make them what they are just solidified my love for them and their overall mastery of so many genres. Glad you made it to this one and loved it just as much! As always, here's more suggestions!

[@hoangal]

Isn't this one just everything..i swooned hard cuz I'm a sucker for a good piano flourish. Especially if it's a jazzy one! Where's my martini?! I've also heard the way he enunciates may be based on the region he hails from being they're from the UK.

[@hoangal]

Also slap da bass! Big time!

[@oldstonerun]

Slapa da bass!

[@oldstonerun]

Nothing like a martini, fancy clothes and a good piano in the background... hahah

[@thepowerofmyth]

Good reaction bro! Was this the first time you heard this song?

[@angryasianjim]

Before Aqua Regia I really couldn’t get in to jazz. At all. Imagine my surprise when this song became one of my favorites. ST is great at introducing genres in a really accessible way. It’s a huge credit to Vessel and II as the writers.

[@oldstonerun]

Absolutely man. Couldn't agree more!

[@australianwi-fi]

Have you checked out other jazz music since? I also haven't listened to jazz, but this is one of my favourite songs on the album so I'd love to be able to find more music like it
