I love the use of "I've developed a taste for you" in the more peaceful parts of the song, vs. "I got a taste for you" in the heavier parts.

[@urfvsuthrngal318]

That little change makes a HUGE difference right!? So good

[@markmaddox4356]

RIGHT! It's so similar to TMBTE where it transitions from "I will travel far" to "I have traveled far." Differences in lyrics and tone are always on point!!

[@urfvsuthrngal318]

​@markmaddox4356 I never even noticed that! That makes the screaming at the end mean even more to the story of the song like he's saying I've come this far let me in! 😮😅

[@rohanrobinson959]

Prey and predator

[@faff1547]

I have always felt at the end of TMBTE he is done asking, he is demanding!

[@cheyren_]

His vocal run when he says “addicted to the pain” makes me absolutely crazy, I love it 😭

[@rachealcarter8014]

Dude. Yes.

[@ghostfacedkilla2849]

The amount of children conceived during this song would be a staggering amount

[@sLim88CPC]

It's really solid, I like this, but Type O Negative stuff is on another level of sexual vibe loaded music. :)

[@biggusriggus7693]

​@sLim88CPC so many banger type o songs for the late night setlist

[@gregstacy4498]

Sleep Token out here creating the next baby boomer Gen

[@StrangeQuark84]

I can neither confirm nor deny that this song was intentionally snuck into a shared playlist to trigger sexy time.

[@Sixela999]

I can say this is in my Astarion NC17 playlist.

[@aleasha.k.b]

There are some very interesting interactions between Vessel and the bassist III during this song live, lol! Definitely watch them do this live!!

[@parapraxiaa]

Not me running to the comments for an acknowledgement of Sugar's live rep ;)

[@angelamiller2577]

I'm a woman who (mostly) likes women, but ffs, that part of the performance during "Sugar" is such a turn on! Lol

[@arimewillow4278]

" interesting interactions" I snorted my drink up my nose😂😂😂 Worship

[@AsAbove.SoBelow]

I was waiting for this. I won’t lie, those clips have been a permanent staple in my mental highlight reel. 😂

[@aleasha.k.b]

@arimewillow4278 I was trying not to spoil what they do so "interesting interactions" was vague enough, lol! 😆😆

[@miss__anthropy]

They used to do this live, and III (bass player) would lie on the stage and Vessel would straddle him while singing this. AND CUTTING IT FROM THE SETLIST WAS A *FUCKING* MISTAKE

[@aleasha.k.b]

Aww man, ya ruined it! 😅😅😅

[@tarasmelko17]

Sugar shenanigans!!!❤😂

[@angelamiller2577]

Why on Earth would they cut this from the set list?!?

[@Kelly30stm]

I got to see it live in 2022. Hopefully they'll add it back in next time they tour the us!

[@Chellanthe]

10000000%

[@Jcc411]

The levels of complexity in their music is amazing. Sugar is addicting and makes all other food taste bland, and although it makes you feel good in the moment it will eventually kill you. Just like this relationship.

[@Spunky62]

Have I said THANK YOU for introducing me to ST? ✌️🫶🔥🔥🔥🔥🎶🫂 THANK YOU GUYS!😁

[@rykerroadMOM3123]

ME TOO, BABE!! ❤

[@hopehinson]

That makes me so happy.

[@NeptunesRoom]

The part that resonates so heavily with me is right after the chorus starts, there is this synth/piano (whatever it is) that just feels like a warning of what happens if you get within a snakes striking range. That's the visualisation of what that feels like for me at least

[@emmalynch3995]

like something is creeping up

[@DGmmnLm]

Great reaction, I think the contrast between Gods and Sugar is really important. A lot of the songs on this album kinda have a back and forth feel, like the end of Higher going into Take Aim also. I really think this album represents his internal conflicted feelings about his relationship with Sleep.

[@LilMissLaShae]

This song makes me FERAL

[@Steph20155]

Needed this one today! Such a good song 🫠 Love ST days.. Great reaction ❤️❤️

[@AsAbove.SoBelow]

Right?? Aren’t you already sad that you have to wait another week? 😂

[@cdub462]

Love, love, love this song. One of my absolute favorites. Between the soft and hard vocals with the breakdown just gives me chills every time. I listen to this song over and over again. Been waiting on this one since you guys started this journey. I wish I could see this live. 🤘❤️‍🔥🤘

[@BeefyMatt]

I love how as soon as the vocals started you both made the same 😳 face and were mesmerized

[@matttyler8331]

This song's beat/production has almost a Timberland from the late 90's early 00's vibe in the first half.

[@Gh0sd-]

This song is one of the few where sleep is actually singing to him. The albums all have a bit of call and response. Vessel always begs her to “bite” him and this is her describing the “taste” she’s acknowledging that she does like feeding off of him and speaks of their relationship as a game and she won’t give in to him the way he wants her to. Just a personal opinion, that’s what I hear. Badass song either way!!!

[@nila_bcn]

oh yeah... you should watch Sugar live performance🤤😅

[@hopehinson]

Just wanted to say the last month has been really hard on my family. But my husband and I look forward to new videos from you guys, especially the sleep token ones. Thanks for that.

[@75jvs]

Finally gonna see them live in December, can't wait!

[@valerietemple7052]

I have been waiting!!!!! YES!

[@ceyda2292]

Yessss my fav song on the album!!!

[@TeeBagGee]

Hahaha go ahead and look up the live performances for this one. 😂😂😂 They haven't performed it in a while.

[@saranaturegirl123]

I've been waiting for this one. 'Interesting' live apparently lol Great review! Knew you'd love it.

[@BishieBishie]

Been calling out for this one, knew you'd love it

[@kallen2377]

@Rykerroad I need to know where you got that shirt Eric!!!

[@williamharris9446]

HIS VOCALS ARE UNEQUIVOCALLY BUSSIN

[@johnmartin9854]

Definitely one of my favorites!! Great reaction guys

[@doenning96]

Eric, where can I buy that shirt? Lmao

[@synaestatic]

I swear their albums are recorded with actual eardrums. You can hear every tiny detail.

[@kellielion3288]

I've been patiently waiting for this reaction lol

[@ALadCalledPruitt]

The double fatality on this one was well-deserved and all I don't wanna spoil anything but I will say for the next 3 on Sundowning is bring a box of tissues, that whole last quarter is chock full of feels Y'all are gunna go back and do the full-album for Tomb too yeah?

[@AsAbove.SoBelow]

So glad someone said this!! Double fatalities are rare and this is so deserving. Wonder which song could bring 3… Hmm.

[@ALadCalledPruitt]

@@AsAbove.SoBelow I mean, Nazareth for sure could land 3 if Blood Sport doesn't do it

[@AsAbove.SoBelow]

@@ALadCalledPruitt - Oh dang. I didn’t even think of that. I have a sneaking suspicion they will just stare mouths agape at Bloodsport, but Nazareth - I could totally see. Good call.

[@AsAbove.SoBelow]

Okay, so now I’m back in the privacy of my own home and I can talk freely about this damn song. 😂 So, as most freaky freaks do, a few years ago I decided to make a ‘sexytime’ playlist on Spotify. When I ran a search for ‘baby making metal’, someone had already created a playlist with Sugar on it. I would say, this song is the epitome of sexytime music. The slow start, the build, the crescendo, and then the slow end where it seemingly starts all over again. Isn’t that how we all would like it to be? Music, I mean. 😜

[@17pres]

I.am.so.ready.for.the.EPs

[@beryl3688]

this song is the one i liked a bit more each time i listened to it. Like, i listend to it one time and was like "myeah ok why not" and now i'm like "fuuck yeah breakdown so good"

[@YouDontOwnCats-TheyOwnYou]

Please make a reaction video out of watching Sugar live! Saw other comments already mentioning why, but I wanna see you guys' reaction. 😂 Loved this reaction as always! Sleep Token reactions have become the videos I look forward to the most every week! 💙

[@iansimmons735]

Wow. I'm new to Sleep Token. That was beautiful.

[@MurderWeaponLimited]

Where`s the merch with "fire ass song"? Its def one of Eric`s catchphrases! :D

[@ibrahimhumood2500]

It is just a great song. Have you guys reacted to NAZARETH because it is a MUST

[@TheJwbenjamin1001]

I can’t wait for jaws. I don’t think you guys have reacted to it yet. But one of my favorite ST songs. You’ll get there eventually

[@t_duffy]

Such a vibe

[@calebevans3690]

when you get to Drag Me Under pay INCREDIBLY close attention to the melody of the chorus

[@kingrueben1211]

6:36 lessssgo

[@unmercydean1994]

FELLAAAAAAS!!!! REACT TO "FALL FOR ME"!! PLEEEEEAAASEEEEEE!!!

[@JewelsLeigh]

There are live videos of Sugar and it's amszing.

[@VyletJade]

My favorite ❤

[@waslandt237]

Please do Profiler - Identify or Alpha Nine or Ninenty Three or Metamorphosis

[@fuimalex]

When you doing bloodsport ?

[@spookyjey]

So excited for you guys to react to Nazareth! The lyrics get me everytime

[@aildrules]

How many more before y’all do jaws?

[@Rykerroad]

We're working through the first two albums, so whenever it pops up is when we'll do it.

[@josefgordon7712]

Get the birth certificate machine fire up yall

[@itz_thrasherr_9965]

This is sexc metal

[@konstantinstepanov5461]

this song is sex... no other words.

[@yp1851]

I guess Gods and Sugar are my favourites of this album - but it may change depending on my mood 😇

[@danieljohnson6561]

You can just say he’s sexy, it’s ok

[@Alivestillz]

Plz react to stray kids Lalala

[@Frenzy4457]

Idk if it’s the production between sundowning and TMBTE but I think there’s a different “punch” in sound. TMBTE the production is near perfect, it punches hard when the band comes in and really elevates the song. Sundowning doesn’t have that same punch at least to me (not on Higher though, that breakdown rips) This is in no way a knock against them but rather a remark on how they’ve evolved their sound.

[@vampkilmer]

Welcome to Church, boys. 😎 People talk about The Summoning being baby making metal, but they're missing out on Sugar. 🙌

[@AsAbove.SoBelow]

Dammit! I’m in Walmart and now I gotta listen to Sugar and get all feisty. Again.

[@ghostfacedkilla2849]

Don't you hate it when that happens

[@rykerroadMOM3123]

😂😂

[@10ekrom]

The chorus hitting at 6:34 gave me LIFEEEEEE. I swear when Sleep Token gives us those releases from the build ups it pumps literal feel good chemicals into our brains. Worship!

[@HighlyAcoustic]

Found Sleep Token as I was returning from 11 months in afghanistan many years back and they carried me for a hot minute. This particular song was the first I'd heard and it helped me set my mind in a different place than where it had been stuck for so long. It seems real dramatic, but its the small shit that can make a massive impact

[@Psyk0pepper]

Welcome home. Iraq vet. Glad your home

[@JuanMeneses36]

I had the same thing with ADTR and their Homesick album. Music is powerful.

[@jinabrasser9439]

I’m addicted to how they take me to church every single time I hear a song by them 🥹 Fuckin’ W O R S H I P 🙏🏻😌

[@Alan-oc7tg]

This comment is extra funny after the drumeo video and II saying Gospel drumming was his biggest influence.

[@Terminal_liminal]

You : I love when Vessel uses his falsetto. Me : Wait for Drag Me Under.

[@Lunar_Asylum]

They aren't prepared for the rest of what's to come

[@AsAbove.SoBelow]

Ugh. That song destroys me every time. Great suggestion. It’s in my head now and I can already feel the sads.

[@Kelly30stm]

@@Lunar_Asylumnot prepared at all!

[@17pres]

The EPs are going to blow their minds

[@Lunar_Asylum]

@@17pres yeah they are 🤣 Calcutta is gonna fuck them right up

[@joywilson4668]

The beginning and end of Sugar sound like a Nokia ringtone, but then holy hell the middle of this song is sexy and heavy.

[@jeanproctor3663]

Hornier than a horny goat on the Matterhorn!

[@ShadowToken13]

I got my brother into Sleep Token and he absolutely loves them. Sugar is his favorite song and Euclid is mine. So glad you guys reacted to this one I’ll definitely send your reaction to him 😊🤘🏻

[@angelamiller2577]

"Sugar" is my favorite as well.

[@melissatodd560]

Euclid is my favorite, but Sugar is definitely up there on my list of favs.

[@Lunar_Asylum]

They have absolutely performed this live. A long time ago. It was their song to flirt with each other on stage. Similar to Like That from TPWBYT. You should find a live and watch it. It's so good. So fucking good. Sugar is just a fucking superb song where the music shines

[@Kelly30stm]

They were doing in live in 2022. I hope they bring it back.

[@Lunar_Asylum]

@@Kelly30stm I would kill to see it live. Like That was fantastic but man sugar hits different live

[@coolhand1983]

Absolutely a carnal groove song. Especially with that.... climax. 🥵😈

[@Sharononp]

Definitely 😅😅

[@dropthehammer1360]

I would say Tool and Pink Floyd are up there with the best of them when it comes to lyrical content. On another note, you guys NEED to react to both versions of Blood Sport in one video. Pretty please?

[@bigpapahorchata]

I almost dropped my coffee in excitement seeing the notification for this! Y’all’s expressions were my exact same hearing this for the first time and then looking back to the lyrics sucks ya in even more so! Thank you both!!!

[@braxtonwalden8365]

Something Sleep Token made me realize is how much I love a chorus that builds on itself after every repeat. Now some songs I used to love don’t hit as hard because the chorus has the same energy throughout the entire song. Whether they add instruments, change the tempo, or introduce the bridge/buildup, they always seem to make the final parts of their songs a true climactic point.

[@artisticbeautybyhanako6801]

Real, a well executed key change levels shit up too

[@DarkestNova556]

I think what makes Sleep Token’s music go so well even though the styles are different is that they PERFECTLY define emotions without words. The vindictive and damn near sinister “I’ve got a taste for you” suddenly calms back to the serene and serendipitous “I’ve developed a taste for you” is a perfect representation of toxic mood swings.

[@amsa928]

You should definitely check out the live version.

[@rykerroadMOM3123]

Oooooh, I gotta do that!!

[@AsAbove.SoBelow]

@@rykerroadMOM3123 - Get your fan ready, it gets steamy. 🥵

Sleep Token is the best band for at least the last decade. Absolutely mind blowing.

[@FillyFill-1004]

It’s crazy how much I can relate to lyrics more and more with every song. Amazing!! You said it best “ He brings me to the point of crying, then punches me in the face”. 😂

[@S2023T]

"Sugarrr, I've developed a taste for you now" 🖤 Be sure to check out the live version, it's definitely worth it 😏👍 I can't wait to see this band live again 🔥 It's not 4 weeks left! 🤩🙏🖤

[@Sharononp]

Aaaah! I’m so jelly about Wembly! Have an amazing time!

[@richardsmith5803]

Dont think mostpeople are into man on man action

You guys need to watch some live recordings of Sugar live. Vessel always gets it on with (I believe) III who is the bassist 😂 It's a funny watch.

[@stephanieelizabeth2843]

iii is the bassist😊

[@sketchyhealing]

You two just made me love this song even more than I already did so THANK YOU! Loved watching you two react to it and always looking forward to more 😊🙌

[@oviate1]

The best thing about this song is the live footage of Vessel seducing, mounting and grinding on iii. This is top tier Sex Token.

[@evaj2556]

I love this band so much, Vessel's voice is hauntingly beautiful!! I'll be seeing them live in London next month..can't wait!! 🥰

[@wishb0ne]

How was it? 😃

[@evaj2556]

@@wishb0neaww man, it was amazing & emotional AF!! 👍😍 I definitely felt like I was apart of something very special that night & singing back to Vessel for the songs he couldn't was our way of thanking Sleep Token for everything!! 💕💕

[@michellemcmahon3344]

​@@evaj2556I know I'm late to this conversation, but what do you mean by, "when he couldn't"? Did something happen to him or was he sick or something!? I've just found them a couple months ago now. So I've been binge watching everything I find that's Sleep Token related. And I have noticed that the most recently posted stuff I can find on them isn't that recent. More like 5 and 6 months old. But no new videos or songs that I can find, anyways. So did something happen to keep them from being able to perform? If you don't mind me asking. 😁✌️

[@evaj2556]

@@michellemcmahon3344 heyyy 🙋‍♀️ you can find the full Wembley show on YT. It's fan made but pretty decent. Yeah Vessel was sick during the performance and couldn't sing certain songs so us fans helped him out!! He was exhausted, it had been a gruelling tour, nervous and emotional, with it being the UK, home turf an all...but he still managed to finish the set. Just go watch & enjoy. As far as videos etc, ST have only done a handful. Their more recent stuff are visualizers. They have never released an "official" live version. They do not do meet n greets or TV interviews ( Vessel did 1 with Metal Hammer magazine in 2017 & their drummer, ii recently did one with Drumeo) Enjoy going down the rabbit hole!! 👍 WORSHIP

[@urfvsuthrngal318]

Soo good! This song is so daddy 😂 this song screams obsession to me and I love it The live version of this is wild lol yall need to go watch it maybe on your podcast or something but it's definitely fun what they do on stage 😂

[@ferclermont]

I WAS SO ANXIOUS TO WATCH YOU REACT TO THIS ONE, i love sugar LOVE LOVE LOVE. easily one of my fav...but i still cant wait for blood sport. always great watching you guys, keep up the awesome work :)

[@RoadRunner217]

Great reaction guys. If you ever react to "Bloodsport", please, please do the studio version first, not the "from the room below" version. The latter is an absolutely amazing piece of art, but the "original" is extremely important as a fundamental tool or puzzle piece in the overall concept of the album, and by not hearing the instruments present there, you're really missing out on a lot of the message and presentation. You can always do both versions in one video, or just do the "live" version later, but in my opinion, the original is more important.

[@danhaines]

I'm with the inverse, the FTRB below wo t have the same impact if you've already heard the studio version. Listen to the both by all means, but please do the FTRB version first.

[@livingdeadsoul]

awesome reaction guys. love this song, one of my favorites. I love how much it sounds like a NIN song. can totally imagine Trent Reznor singing this one.

[@allan_nightmare]

So glad you liked it! I first discovered Sleep Token by accident Live at a Thy Art is Murder show in 2019 and they were one of the openers, i walked into the venue and THIS was the song they were playing, been hooked and theyve been my favorite band ever since

[@psilasylum]

Welcome to Vessel is RIGHT. Vessel is one playing every instrument in these albums, writing every one aside from ii's drums. Everything else, EVERYTHING, is literally Vessel. Welcome to Vessel is right.
