Sleep Token - Granite | First Reaction!!

[@bamadondon0495]

CAN YOU IMAGINE STARTING A BAND AND HAVING THE BALLS BIG ENOUGH TO SING IN A PUB SOMEWHERE IN THE UK AND SAY "I AM VESSEL I AM THE EMBODIMENT OF THE GOD SLEEP" AND THEN BREAKING THE HOUSE DOWN WITH THEIR MUSIC BEFORE THEY FOUND THEIR SOUND THAT THEY HAVE TODAY?.. THESE DUDES COULD SWING AT MOSQUITOES AND NEVER MISS🤘✌️🚫🧢🫡

[@leavingweakness9927]

The entire Take Me Back To Eden album is a masterpiece, one of the best albums I’ve ever listened to. Every song is top notch

[@NikkiWright-STLVR23]

Agree 💯

[@TimmyK916]

I discovered it and them about a month ago. I’ve binged them ever since. TMBTE is the best album I’ve heard since Lateralus.

[@waxydabz8205]

Right I heard this album after Ronnie did Watch the world Burn and I was omg they probably have better switch ups. Sounding like middle school screamo and five finger death punch mixed with some soul

[@goldenruletv7301]

absolutely. The best album since "Dark Side of the Moon".

[@StuckInTheQuantumPattern]

You really can’t go wrong with Sleep Token.

[@dancoots8225]

Big fact

[@JaffaIrons183]

II the drummer has talked about how he has massive R&B and Gospel influence.

[@jfloresdrums]

Dude. His Drumeo episode. I had never heard of Sleep Token until i watched II. Huge fan now.

[@JaffaIrons183]

@@jfloresdrums it's a shame so many people try to cram them into a 'metal' box because the jazz and R&B influence is pretty remarkable.

[@irishwristwatch2487]

​@@JaffaIrons183seems crazy really. If you ask what genre Sleep Token are the best response is either "which song" or "which part of that song?"

[@sirhoon87]

Don't forget the dance too

[@mclovinlife4018]

“Yeah, I’m playing the whole thing again” I don’t blame you one bit 😅 this is one of the few bands that brings tears to my eyes. It’s so beautiful, the lyrics have meaning, and it’s just good

[@treysalter8279]

i genuinely think TMBTE is one of the best albums i’ve listened to in my life, having listened to them since the beginning it just adds that much more.

[@RespiteofChampions]

This is the only correct response.

[@SarahOfTheRealm]

Yaaayyyyyy! You're listening to Granite!!!!!! 🖤 I've been dying for you to do a video on this song!!!!

[@xsourdieze1]

Thing about this about this band, whatever style of music they're doing, they do it very well. Can't wait to hear more from them

[@slyorkaan964]

I love the way real bass mixes with synth bass after the finger snap....heavy hypnotic sound

[@PKMetalGames]

Sleep Token's drummer is stank face incarnate. 😂 He gets you every time I've noticed lmao

[@NikkiWright-STLVR23]

2 minutes in and 😂🔥🔥🔥.... started it again 😂😂😂...yes, this band is magnificent. Vessel is a musical genius and yes, they are their own sound. The more you listen to them the better they get. On God!! If you want Jazz...Aqua Regia, even The Love You Want is kinda jazzy imo, you want sexy vibes? Listen to Sugar and Decending cuz you already just listened to Granite. You want metal core? Gods and Vore have that in spades. Want a little gospel influence? The Way That You Were, Levitate, Drag Me Under....Sleep Token do not miss. Period. Loved the reaction to this....blew the horn twice 😂😂😂. Yeah, they're worth it. ❤ Worship ❤

[@latonyajefferson9699]

I just saw II's interview with the Drummeo KZbin channel. He talks about how he has influences from all of the genres you mentioned. Don't worry, his voice is covered, and he is in full costume. But the British accent threw me off a bit. I don't know why...I knew the group is Britsh 😋

[@GeoffGroves]

Its not a band. Its audio engineers with computers

[@justinsayswtf]

@@GeoffGroves There’s a lot of editing in the studio, yeah, but they play their instruments live. Guitar, bass, drums, keys. Those aren’t just backing tracks in concert.

[@SpicyTortilla69]

​@GeoffGroves guess who does the production?

[@JewelsLeigh]

You'll appreciate the drums even more after watching II's Drumeo video. ST doesn't have a bad track in their discography. There are no filler songs.

[@astinfletcher3757]

That interview is so good!

[@mkennedy319]

The trick is, Every track is the next best.

[@kelcifer6197]

Dark signs is another really good one

[@vitriolhachedeueysseokatre]

I fully agree with you. Not only this song is a masterpiece, but all the songs of that album are top notch! I'm a complete fan of their style! Growing up with hip-hop, I wish they continue making such piece of art! Your reaction sspeaks for itself 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@daxter429]

I can’t explain why this is my favourite on the album,

[@sintaxera]

Because it was the last song you heard?

[@daxter429]

@@sintaxera was the 3rd, I hadn’t listened to any of sleep token untill I listened to the whole album through

[@sintaxera]

@@daxter429 my favourite is always the last one I listened to. It will be vore, then I'll listen to Nazareth and I will remember how good it is. Etc. etc

[@NikkiWright-STLVR23]

​@@sintaxerasame 😂😂😂

[@vitalsteve1]

i think daxter means "the most recent"

[@AdrianLabs]

Best album of 2023 imho

[@stephendavis75]

Sleep Token is badass. Band of year!

[@GeoffGroves]

Its not a band. Its engineers/ programmers with some computers...

[@Anixyia]

@@GeoffGroves bro has the ability to play every instrument under the sun, does so live, and still gets called an engineer with a computer. get a grip Geoff you wetty

[@jslady5662]

I was blown away by this song the firat time i heard it too. Still in love with it.

[@jslady5662]

Loved ur appreciation for their musical genius! They're my fav band ever! They're just EVERYTHING musically! Love them! ❤

[@domiluvsmakeup]

I remember the first time I heard this song I instantly fell in love with Sleep Token

[@Nathdood]

Sleep Token literally doesn't miss You would love "Give" or "Dark Signs"

[@1scorpiogem]

yesssss please react to “GIVE”

[@berniebarroso7798]

Don't forget Descending! All 4 of these are in my top songs by ST.

[@alexthefossilguy2754]

Over the course of 2+ years Sleep Token has become one of my top 3 all-time favorite bands. And as you touched on, they don’t have bad songs…..ANY! I definitely revisit/re-listen to some songs more than others but a lot of the time I just put on an album and push play. I think you have to have an eclectic musical taste to fully appreciate them (I do). Hope you keep exploring, you will not encounter a bad song, trust me 🤙

[@Ortiz8094]

This sound , those lyrics , and those vocal styles are all definitely on point 🎤🎵

[@emmafletcher9189]

From this album Granite and Rain are my favourites. He's an amazing lyricist. X

[@Runeforged]

Man I love these reactions. we need more

[@TaraRyze]

I’m so glad you’re finally checking out Granite!! I blast this song every time I’m in my car! It’s one of my favorites! 🙌🏻🔊 *side note…right before the “breakdown” you hear what sounds like tires screeching and a crash…it’s meant to emulate a car crash which I think is freaking brilliant!*

[@stephenandrew6087]

I’ve followed you for a while and can I just say I fugging love this reaction. Your face is how I feel listening to ST. Keep on mate. Cheers

[@13terapyn]

Essences of Depeche Mode for sure. First time for me. Loved it!

[@darcystcorner2580]

When two people who truly understand music come together this is what we get❤ These two men are music there’s nothing left to say imo

[@tjh5716]

Love this song. Shows they can make a straight forward joint better than anyone.

[@mack2132]

this whole album is a masterpiece as I'm sure you've heard but man you need to listen to the whole thing ASAP!!!

[@Dolllllfaceee]

This was my top song on Spotify last year for a reason 🖤

[@MetalEric12]

Great reaction! Sleep Token is, without a doubt, a once in a generation type band. An unmatched, unique sound coupled with some of the catchiest songs, makes this band amazing. I have to ask, what is that contraption behind you? I need one of those in my life..

[@ivonn-edsanchez1114]

one of my favorites! I think you would love the drums on hypnosis by them!

[@theskincareskinny5006]

One of my faves ❤ I especially love the use of negative (quiet) space throughout in unexpected places. The lyrics are spectacular, the drums are off the chain… it slaps.

[@ridiculousric1779]

Any song from there new album is SOOO good.

[@UMPeeps1348]

You'll def dig Sugar too and need to give Higher a spin as well! The whole discography is such a ride, just every genre in one!

[@astellis11]

My soul acends out of my body when listening to sleep token

[@psychicham9085]

What genre is sleep token you ask? Yes all of them😂 this is probably my favorite band and thats hard for me to have a favorite but my gawwd this dudes voice is from heaven

[@ndwknss]

Love the transparency on the video overlay, great work as always

[@spencerella]

When he hits the I am I get actual chills

[@meganxeileen]

The drummer, ii, is a beast 😩🖤

[@johncarpenter3751]

[@ManTheRampartsBaby]

Love these sleep token reactions man

[@MtnMan-ny6vu]

Another fun thing about Sleep Token is when you play their music to people, they're usually blown away by it, but when you show listeners what the band looks like, they're mind-f***ed lol!!!!

[@AZURIAN-j7u]

Most of rnb melody played with a guitar are metal topline🎉

[@JamesExploresHorror]

I have the Granite tshirt man! Such a banger! Im new to your channel so you may already have, but if you like this vibe, i have to suggest Dark Signs, Like That, Sugar, Jaws, and Give! Those are some of my favorites! The vibes are so underrated!

[@robotwaifuengineer]

Worship.

[@waxydabz8205]

Sleep Tokens newest album all the songs fire and most all have a great switchup mid way. Chokehold Aqua Regina of whatever those are great to

[@irishwristwatch2487]

"Yeah Im playin it from the start again" thats actually fully understandable. Took me 6 attempts to get to the heavy bit!

[@jaxxis2910]

This whole album is great

[@JGotti777]

I suggest also going back to their first albums. You will NOT regret it. Sleep Token is life changing music from beginning to end. I can listen to every single song of theirs over and over. Worship❤

[@bryanjenkins8830]

Please keep going down the Sleep Token rabbit hole! You won’t be let down ever. Worship

[@Levi-ou2zm]

The “I am” vocal reminds me of PM Dawn

[@trizzle3190]

Yussss! My fave ST song 🔥 so glad you enjoyed it

[@IAMXVE]

I strongly recommend you listening to their other tracks HIGHER and also, NAZARETH 🤟🏾🤟🏾 they’re definitely my favourites. I hope you enjoy them!!

[@sintaxera]

You should react to the drumeo set with II the drummer 😂

[@BigFukNMike]

Have you seen what they look like yet? You say it reminds you of 90s R&B. Their appearance does not match their sound. But that is part of what makes them unique.

[@donbdonbx]

Euclid is the masterpiece of the album. done that one yet?

[@atexandude8303]

The exact same, I found them through Will Ramos, dude I’ve been hooked. They’re just solid all the way through.

[@jnovak1278]

You like this? Dark skies. Chills. Your welcome. Keep em coming.

[@kellyhouse4263]

One of my favorites!🔥

[@jandkwhite6459]

yessir I agree with your entire view....Sleep Token doesn't seem to miss

[@likwified]

You know Vessel busts into a room at the beginning of the weekend with "This is how we do it!!"

[@Arcdemon44]

Gotta check out Dark Signs from their album Sundowning.

[@tommyjohnson43]

Love videos w good sound! 👍🏻

[@Nichalorious]

You haven't even gotten to the really emotional slow songs. It really does go deep with this band.

[@rorotbd31]

Best album ever

[@TB-sp9jy]

Aww, it's a late gift! Worship!

[@golden454]

Love this song ☮️💜🤘🔥

[@yilomina2047]

[@kamarulhaziq6961]

[@JohnnyGingy]

Careful! You’re about to get obsessed like all the rest of us Sleep Token fans 🤘🏻

[@motosagela]

You have to react to Sleep Token Vore Maybe even their live version.

[@TheGregh1977]

Check out some of their last album. Their remake of heya from OutKast is godu

[@paulroberts4667]

They never miss!!! Oh, my friend, you are a phenomenal reactor!!! I think you need a little older Sleep Token!! Maybe The Love You Want, or. Sugar!!!!

[@ChadTheGirlDad]

8:14 a little Keith sweat nobody on the track

[@DeuceTreyz]

BANGER

[@aspghost4714]

I don't even like rock like that, but I love sleep token

[@michirista]

Never saw you playback so many times a Sleep Token song before (doesn't mean it's bad at all), there was a time when this song was my favorite and then they release the hole album and I don't know any more wich is my fav song

[@jacksonaugust7310]

This song slaps on the deemz

[@terriscales9595]

Hi Polo! New to the channel and checking out some of your reactions! How about reacting to “The Ballad of Curtis Loew” by Lynyrd Skynyrd, such a great song!! 😃👍🏽

[@yvesbarriere2922]

Nice crescendo; haunting voice

[@SunDiegoRockStar]

Jack Skeleton! Worship.

[@kenvelickoff4275]

Art Garfunkel, Angel Claire, song

[@ISnipeSA]

Yessssss

[@richardwilson3333]

“Sugar” is another one for your playlist.

[@yodabbadabba3770]

Now a reaction to Darklit Canopies 🙏 worship

[@mattkeeney6551]

Try some Avenged Sevenfold! They have some stuff I think you’d really like! Old and New! The Stage I highly recommend!

[@dgs5809]

The only band I find similar to them that I like is STARSET

[@ISnipeSA]

😍😍😍😍😍

[@DaedalusX86]

🔥🔥🔥 If you do one more it has to be Euclid. Pianos for days

[@vitalsteve1]

nahhhhhh cant go right to euclid😢

[@damianstark5362]

In my opinion, Sleep Token is one of the few bands out there who can't write a song that doesn't hit.

[@astinfletcher3757]

The trolls in this comment section 😳.

[@That1artsychic]

Right. It’s just music. Not liking a band/song isn’t a replacement for a personality trait.

[@JanetGibbons-dl3yy]

Please please please listen to Led Zeppelin's Battle of Evermore

[@johnjohn37371]

I liked Backlit Canopy better...just a choice.

[@sintaxera]

I dunno, SleepToken - One EP is pretty good. Very similar vocals imo
