This Sleep Token album broke me.

[@ZeroHarvester]

The sheer AUDACITY of this band... to drop such an absolute masterpiece onto the world. It is reckless and downright unfair to other bands.

[@SteveOGRock]

Haha my point exactly! They are playing in a higher universe to everyone else. It’s not a fair landscape at all. So incredible.

[@dinnayboi8077]

No but really. I just got done going to two days of a music festival and had the realization I have such higher expectations now for music. Many bands I loved I just don’t care as much about anymore. I found myself zoning out wishing ST were there instead.

[@fredrikmagnusson5638]

I agree! The world will never be the same again after this.

[@WishMount]

I’ve never heard such an album where all the months of build up and hype was so inaccurate… because this album truly overshot and blew every expectation out the water. And we already heard half of it prior to release. It’s truly remarkable.

[@JoaoLopes92Yn]

"those bastards" "fuck them" Exactly what I was saying mid tears through so much of this album. I completely do not understand how they can have such genius, to create this ride, they hit all possible emotions to me, and the brilliance of the last song, how can you make such a perfect song to actually feel like a conclusion, a happy feeling, joyous, and then the callback... Emotionally, lyrically, completely unmatched, no band has ever made me feel so many different emotions, so easily, Vessel is one of those very rare people in history that can truly express/explain emotions and find the perfect words to connect with who is listening. And I don't even have to mention the sound, quality of play, the choices, the small touches like using the animal sounds, the ups and downs, raw feeling, yet calculated. I still can't believe this is real.

[@SteveOGRock]

You’ve put that very well, João. It has everything in it, but it’s all perfectly aligned. It’s not cluttered by trying to do to much. Immensely balanced, technically brilliant, yet entirely human and real. It’s quite the magic act.

[@melonort13]

As a newer fan is the callback from a song from a previous album?

[@SteveOGRock]

@@melonort13 yes, this is the 3rd album in a trilogy of sorts. The very first song on the first album was called “The Night Does Not Belong To God.” In this song for the first time Vessel sings “the night belongs to you” which is a full stop from there. The final part in Euclid is a reprise of a section of that original song too, which is absolutely wonderful.

[@danielszigeti3241]

I like how a bit of an accent shines through when he says "those bastards". Shows how genuine the comment is.

What I always love about sleep token songs is just how poetic the lyrics are, TMBTE says ‘I’m a winged insect you’re a funeral pyre’ as a way of saying ‘a moth to a flame’ and that detail in the lyrics are what made me fall in love with this band

[@SteveOGRock]

Absolutely. There are soooo many moments like that in ST. Their turn of phrase is on another level.

[@justinsayswtf]

What’s crazy is Vessel will write a beautiful line like that, and then he’ll go back to simplicity and be direct and blunt with lines like “Please don’t hurt yourself again,” and it makes it hit that much harder.

[@brianalmeida1964]

You struggled to keep it together? Let me tell you: I struggled at Ascensionism, nearly wept at Are You OK and broke at Euclid! As soon as I heard the lines, "The night belongs to you. This bough has broken through." I started to go, but when it went to The Night Does Not Belong To God, I broke and wept!! Stay safe 🤘 ✌️

[@SteveOGRock]

Haha thanks. I did NOT see so much of that coming.

[@angryasianjim]

So, new fan here, both of sleep token and yourself 😂. You pointed out the background chatter in aqua regia which I’d always heard as just background noise. I went back and listened again and heard dishes clattering and people talking. I’d never heard that before. You’ve helped me listen to music closer which is fuckin awesome. Instant sub. Thank you. As for the music, because of how good the first 5 tracks were (didn’t care for DYWTYLM upon 1st listen, but love it now) I was expecting maybe 2 more bangers and the rest filler tracks. In my honest opinion not only were there no filler tracks, but they left the best songs for last. Holy shit they’re good. I’ll be 41 this year. I’ve never found music that reaches me like this band has. Crazy stuff. Maybe something to the whole mystical/supernatural personas after all! 😂 Worship

[@SteveOGRock]

Hi Jim! I’m so pleased to hear you’ve enjoyed it and taken some value from my observations as well. That’s exactly what I’m here trying to do! Honoured. Welcome to the party my dude!

[@Doncr4nk]

19:05 I didn't notice the background noise until you mentioned it and I've listened to this song dozens of times. Cheers mate.

[@SimonHamptaux]

Your reaction was priceless Steve. Watching you brought on tears of joy because I had the same reaction (especially during Ascensionism and the end of Euclid. The callback got me everytime. Those bastards!). What-an-album!

[@SteveOGRock]

Those bastards indeed! I mean how bloody dare they. Playing with us mortals like this. Unfair.

[@rebeccaspiegel9990]

It's so absolutely beautiful watching you hear all those songs .. those for the very first times especially, thank you for that so much! It just pure happiness all over your face, thanks for spreading this healing album 🫶

[@andrewj3398]

There are plenty of great reactions to the album out there. Yours was my favorite. For the emotion, for the honesty, for the ability to articulate what this song is doing for you. But my favorite aspect of your reaction is that you have the wherewithal to recognize when a powerful part of a song is beginning and to stop talking and just take it in. So many reactors fumble and talk through moments that really need to be experienced… the one that comes to mind is when in tmbte the lyrics starts…”I guess it goes to show does it not, we have no idea what we’ve got until we lose it”,,, those lines and the few that follow break me every time.

[@SteveOGRock]

Thanks Andrew, I massively appreciate it. Yeah, it’s a tricky balance. I want to verbalise my inner thoughts and experience but I also don’t want to miss anything. I want as full an experience as I can get. It’s hard but I do my best. Glad to hear it seems to be working in your view ❤️

[@TheOneNOnlyAxi]

I think the face you made when Ascensionism really kicked in is the same face we all made. Minds collectively blown.

[@matthewsolomon8269]

This album is absolutely fucking god-tier. Is perfection even strong enough a word at this point? I fully expected this would be my album of the year, but this surpassed every expectation and then some

[@SteveOGRock]

Agreed

[@DavidLoveless]

A rating above “Masterpiece” would be “Devine Enlightenment”, which is exactly what this album is!! 🤘🏽🤘🏽

[@SteveOGRock]

Yea indeed!

[@isacat666]

I'm just leaving another comment to help your engagement stats. My partner doesn't get Sleep Token so I showed him your videos to help him understand that this band is literally genius even if he's not vibin. He appreciates the drums at least now!

[@SteveOGRock]

Heheh you’re very kind. Yeah my wife absolutely dislikes ST, but I showed her Euclid and she said “ok this is actually a very beautiful song”. Quite a concession! Lol.

[@annie2366]

Also, the homage back to the some of the lyrics from the old albums in "Take Me Back to Eden". Only true sleep token would catch them. *chefs kiss*

[@KayzeChannel]

yess, for this chaos our lifetime. thanks god we able too listen to this genius band. Sleep Token helps me a lot through hard times. Bless this band. and bless you, i was much more exp listening to you. thanks man! All song are masterpieces, but the end song Euclid completely broken me into tears as well. Great band, Great exp.

[@SteveOGRock]

Yeah Euclid is still my favourite. It’s so immense.

[@thetroubledmonk]

I am subscribing because your appreciation for music is real, and I appreciate that very much. Killer album!

[@SteveOGRock]

Lovely to have you here 💙 Thanks for the appreciation!

[@tirabee]

Watching people listen to this album for the first time is almost as fantastic as me listening to this album for the first time. 😌

[@jessemcnair1993]

first listen to this when it came out I balled my eyes out. cried again hearing it here. great video, I agree 100%, take my sub

[@SteveOGRock]

So glad you joined me here for my listen too. And lovely to hear you’ve sub’d for more! Welcome welcome! ❤️

[@danielboyd3077]

Watching you listen is like hearing again for the first time. Thank you for letting me experience it again. Subbed. ❤️

[@SteveOGRock]

So please to have been able to share that experience with you Daniel. Thanks for the message and for the sub! ❤️

[@JakobStrand]

No matter how many times I've listened to this song or how hard I try, I could NEVER resist the wave of emotions that completely washes over me when I hear Euclid. A pure and an absolute tribute to all the fans! They tie it all together with callbacks to the first album as a conclusion to this magical album...

[@Themartinezjoeshow]

Year later still going back to it . Probably 8th time I watched this

[@SteveOGRock]

🫂

[@LuciusHill]

After actually properly listening to all the lyrics... I just want to give this guy a hug

[@DanSkinny]

You had a great album experience!! Loved watching it, Happy for you dude!!

[@SteveOGRock]

Cheers Daniel!

[@metalgodlover]

This is the best album review I have ever witnessed Your emotional response and sheer joy radiated like a collision of stars...a supernova of a gem,thank you for taking me on this journey with you🖤

[@solarflare2199]

I put that album at the same level of Dark Side Of The Moon. This band is the brightest hope for the future of Music. What a moment to be alive ! ❤️

[@quinnsnyder1417]

absolutely best reaction i’ve seen, and it was awesome to see you react to the whole thing back to back. i unfortunately never heard of sleep token until the beginning of the year, but man oh man am i all in on them now! absolutely phenomenal band that i can’t get enough of!

[@SteveOGRock]

Never too late, Quinn. Welcome to the party! And thanks so much for the kind words. I’m so please you enjoyed it!
