I have loved music since I was 10. Started to play music at 13. I have been obsessed with Pearl Jam, Tool, John Mayer and so many others. There has NEVER been music that has moved me like Sleep Token does. I'm a 45 year old grown ass man and I cry almost every time I hear so many of these songs. They just hit different. Find the rabbit hole and jump in. It's well worth the ride.

Anyone who knows Sleep Tokens history knows what they are about. I'd argue that this is their best album. I think they are finally at a point where they understand there sound and what works, and how to keep things cohesive while switching up there sounds. I've listened to them since 2015 and they have really evolved as a band.

Haha, yes, never considered Sleep Token metal, I know they have heavy songs especially in the new album but I love the clean ones way more. Like, my favorite song by them is Give, and a lot of the Sundowning songs which in my opinion is their best album by far. Don't care if they're metal or not, as long as they are Sleep Token doing songs like they feel like.

It's when the eyes light up and never dim that I know Vessel's got them ❤ Vessel does a very interesting thing called "singing in cursive" and we usually see that style with modern pop artists (Billie Eilish, Halsey, Amy Winehouse, etc) so I think that's why it sounds so much like pop. I rarely see hate on them and I think only two reaction/breakdown channel didn't really care for them, not exactly hate them but couldn't get the hype, but both were prodomeniately Deathcore/metalcore vocalist. Now, Im an avid deathcore/metalcore fan, I have been since I was a kid, 2003 with the release of a hatebreed album, but we have to be open to different worlds and experiences. Music should be about the emotion it invokes. Vessel did that on such a profound, sometimes life changinng, way.

As an actual Old School Rock/Metal musician, this is probably one of my favorite bands ever..... "Traditionalists" of any genre are trippn, but as some one who grew up in a house that did not limit listening taste we had it all. I would listen to ZZtop, Sabbath etc. and then go to the local mall and break dance to Grand Master Flash. This is the future of music and all I can say is, it's about time! Stop with the fuckn' labels.

I was born in the 80s. Cut my teeth on Ozzy and Nazareth, grew up with Pantera and White Zombie, went through my teenage angst with Korn, Rage Against the Machine, and System of a Down. It’s safe to say that at this point I’d be considered an old school metal head. Metal is, and will likely always be, one of my favorite genres. I’m the sort of dick to have a metal playlist with a Whitney Houston song tossed directly in the middle. A Hip-hop playlist with a classical piano piece in the middle. I love (or at least appreciate) all music, I just happen to like metal a little more than most. That being said, Sleep Token is my favorite band. Vessel is a very talented individual. He plays all the instruments on the album except the drums, sings, and helps in production. I love that their albums take you on a journey. I’m glad you enjoyed them.

As a huge fan I can understand why some people hate them. Some people like music to fit in a tidy box, and anything outside their box is “bad”. If you don’t have an understanding or appreciation for music in general and only like specific sounds then it makes sense that sleep token would not be received well. I like to compare their music to foreplay, because it’s a whole experience from start to finish. Some people just want to get straight to the point and get it over with without savoring it, and those are the people who hate sleep token. Beyond the sound of it, the lyrics are incredibly well thought, and relatable, and heavy, and uplifting, and all the things.

But what some people might dislike or hate about them is everything I love about them! I enjoy many different genres so the blend of hip hop, R&B, metalcore, pop and everything else is a godsend. They’re the only band I listen to where I have a visceral reaction. Some people might complain it’s too dreary and sad, but I love that. It’s good to feel pain and sadness at times. The lyrics are just unparalleled. Vessels voice is top tier and he has wide range with it. II is an unbelievable talent on the drums. I just can’t fathom hating this band or at least not being able to find a few songs of theirs that you really enjoy.

The obvious thing to point at for their hate is the melding of the various genres (there's the obvious pop/metal mix, but there's elements of acid jazz, rock, classical, trap, r'n'b etc), however I'm convinced the reasons are more shallow than that: It's brought a massive amount of new non-tradional fans to the metal space, and metalheads are traditionally gatekeepers. Between these guys and Bad Omens, their surge in popularity came from TikTok thirst traps and their female fans probably outweigh their male fans. That said, I find that the audience for ST is massively wide - there's everything from 15 year old girls to 65 year old dudes and everyone in between. It's a shame that most metalheads can't pull their head out of their own arses long enough to be exposed to music outside of their general tastes because there's a world of instrumentation out that that should be celebrated by all. This band is sick, and I'm stoked to be catching them next to Bring Me The Horizon later this month.

And then make mental illness their entire personality because they relate to one song by a guy with abs and "unique hands." I'm not accusing you of being one of those people but if you think that you're out of place at a metal concert because you dress "vintage," then maybe you should take a step back and realize that anyone who is there for the music does not care about your outfit.

I appreciate that you went into this open minded and were able to pull things you really liked, but also see the other side of why others may not be as receptive. For me, I had an inverse experience (I assume) compared to most. I never listened to any metal at all, but I stumbled upon this band randomly and really enjoyed them. It slowly introduced me to the realm of “metal” and now I enjoy the ‘true metal’ in which I assume the people who dislike Sleep Token are referencing. For some, this band has offended the genre, but for me, it’s opened me up to a whole new world of music I was shunning before discovering them. It goes both ways. Great video man, really enjoyed sharing your experience!

They get hate because they're too metal for pop/rock fans and too poppy for metal fans. As you've said, this isn't the first time we've seen this. But Sleep Token's absolute explosion of popularity in 2023 has thrust them into the spotlight. They had 200 thousand monthly Spotify in January 2023. Now they have 3.2 million. With this massive surge in popularity, it's trendy to talk about them. So you're hearing a lot of negative opinions - because there are an *awful* lot of opinions being shared. Make no mistake, there are thousands of people who are obsessing over this band as well. And as with anything that's popular there are a healthy dose of people who just don't like it because it's popular. Always happens to a degree.

I thought I was gonna get pissed off with this reaction at the beginning but I really enjoyed it! Kudos for doing the full album! Now to do the rest! Here’s some info for you 🖤 Sleep Token are the best band I have ever come across and the recent album is definitely my AOTY! You should go down the rabbit hole now. They’re genre bending and use elements of everything from rock, metal, RnB, trap, hip hop, gospel, and more. Even if you don’t like one song don’t write them off as every song is different and as you can see from this one they switch up completely through the songs, also don’t be thrown off by some of them being 7-8 minutes long either as it goes by far too quickly. You should start at the beginning and work your way through as they tell a story and have call backs to a lot of them. The band are anonymous, I and others know who they are but won’t reveal out of respect to the band and fans but the singer goes by the moniker Vessel, drummer, who is a beast is II, bassist III and guitarist IV. From London UK. As far as their discography goes they brought out two EPs called One and Two, then 2 singles called Jaws and The Way That You Were, then the three albums Sundowning, The Place Will Become Your Tomb, then TMBTE (Take Me Back To Eden). They’ve done five covers that I’m aware of. One being Hey Ya by OutKast, I Wanna Dance With Somebody by Whitney Houston, Is It Really You? By Loathe and When The Party’s Over by Billie Eilish, Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen. His Vocal range I believe is B ♭2 to F#5 and he has a wonderful chest voice, head voice and scream. I have never hyper fixated on a band like I have with these! Loved the react and Will subscribe and hopefully see many more. 🖤 The trilogy = Seduction. Destruction. Liberation.

Sleep Token has played several rock/metal festivals, and they always seem to be a hit. I was at Louder Than Life last year, and the sea of people behind me to watch them was insane. Hardcore metalheads are obviously not going to like them because they're not "real metal", but Sleep Token themselves have never claimed to be metal. From their very first album they have blended different genres into a somewhat heavier sound. “Life is dark. Life is bright. Life is ugly. Life is beautiful. Don’t get lost in genres, they’ll only disorientate you. Music is for everyone.” - Vessel

It's some of the most clever use of genre bending I've heard since freaken Linkin Park. No wonder why ST become so huge recently!

One of my favorite bands now. I find i really like artists that arent afraid to experiment with their sound and sleep token does this alot but they execute it beautifully. Of couse some folks only like one genre and freak the hell out when they are taken out of that bubble (ive noticed most ST haters are those). So to each their own.

Sleep Token gets hate because they are popular and they are very good at what they do. All the metal elitists get triggered every time they are mentioned because their style of music and they mix and match different things. It’s something new and refreshing and lots of the haters don’t like that cause they’re not used to change.

I hear a lot of hate for sleep token from people who have only heard 1 song. I also hear the word "pretentious" a lot. I think a lot of it has to do with the fan base being so full on. If you hate them then don't listen to them maybe? It's been a couple of decades since a band has hit me so much in the feels.

If you hate a band but a lot of people love them, and you feel the need to openly hate on them, that's the point of jealously not just your opinion. Opinion is opinion and we are entitled to them, but there's absolutely no need to go out of your way to to be dick out loud.. So there must be a fire inside you, a jealous one. That's how I see it :)

This is hands down the best album I’ve ever heard. Highly reccomend all of their music. IMO not a single. Bad. Song. Also, don’t ever expect to stay in the same groove for long 😂 people say they’re not metal, but then again, Sleep Token has never once said they’re a metal band. They’ve been defined as such and they’re winning all kinds of metal awards that people are salty about. Forget the haters. They’re gonna hate anyway 🤷🏼‍♀️ also, Euclid will make more sense if you listen to all albums and EPs. Truly a masterpiece of a song.

It's funny - I'm seeing all these videos suggested lately like "why does everyone hate Sleep Token." I got into them like 2 months ago and now I can't stop listening to them. They've become one of my favorite bands. But before I checked them out, I felt like every day for nearly a year all I saw and heard were comments like "Sleep Token is sex for your ears; the greatest band to grace the music scene in decades; the music of the gods" haha. So from my own subjective bubble, I was thinking more like, "why does nobody dislike Sleep Token?"

Personally, I would be questioning what your "online" surroundings are. Take Me Back To Eden was the most streamed metal album on Spotify in 2023. Hate is the exception, not the standard. I don't see hate anywhere. I only see love for this group and album. Reset your algorithm.

I love seeing a Sleep Token fan being created. Discovered them on the release date of Take Me Back to Eden when I was looking for something different, can’t get enough now. If you like metal for metal’s sake, that’s cool but you don’t have to listen to this.

It all depends on who you follow, what you click, and what you are looking for. I personally don’t see many people say sleep token sucks. I will admit that I don’t go out of my way to look for haters but I scan comments sometimes and rarely see negatives

They ant a metal band. They just take elements of different styles they obviously like and cleverly blend them into there songs in a not so obvious fashion. There musicianship is great And personally I like it. It's a breath of fresh air in a time where you can fart into a mic and it makes the charts.

My husband hates them and I love them so much!!! Been listening to them everyday last month up until now. Ikeep telling him to listen to TMBTE again and the prior albums too. The funny thing is the same day when he listened to the album on a whim I had gone ahead and booked tickets for Nov at Wembley because I just know I really want to see them. Sadly, I won't be taking him since he spoke so poorly of them. Haven't got the guts to tell him I booked them yet. Shall be taking someone else who I'm hoping will enjoy their music. 😣

A lot of the hate I see is from people that complain about them getting so much attention. Pretty much confirms the fact that a lot of the people in this music scene just like to hate on what’s popular

Good video man, loved that you approached it with an open mind and even ended up liking them. The hate comes mostly from them blowing up on tiktok, so elitist just don't shut up about them because younger people like them and because of the blending on genres
This Sleep Token album broke me.
