So in the beginning where vessel talks about “sulfur on your breath Granite in my chest.” Sulfur degrades granite. Maybe Her words hurt Vessels heart. Incredible symbolism. Dude’s a genius.
I am still in awe of how vessel can write lyrics so specific but so open for interpretation to anyone listening, like "you only drink the water when its holy" could mean in a "when it benefits you" sense and on the flip side if you dive deeper it could mean in a toxic self destructive sense (Aqua Regia = Holy water, an acidic mixture that melts gold) and in another song he sings "I will turn my walls to gold for you" so I take this as a so you can melt them down for me. Also lines with the "sulfur on your breath granite in my chest" since sulfur degrades granite.
@@m.arifhendrain hip hop, they call that a double entendre. And since this song has a nice bass and drum structure, it gets traction in the hip hop community, so Vessel throws in some doubles for them. I love this song. I can't relate to the subject of the song, but I love the image he is painting and I can feel its message.
@@angelamiller2577 I feel like that’s a little obvious though. You really need to think about the context to understand what “get below me” really means and I’ve never seen a reactor really comment on it. They usually comment on the following line “rather be six feet under than be lonely” because, again, there’s not much nuance to that line and is easy to grasp on first listen.
Does she crash the car? Accident at 6:10 then guitar sirens. "I was more than just a body in your passenger seat", "Between the second hand smoke and the glass on the street", "So keep an eye on the road or we will both be here forever".
1. the giant cup is funny 2. "acting like you only brought me here to get below me" is awesome 3. "you only drink the water when you think its holy" is the absolute best line I've ever heard
Eric saying "who knows" is the most genuine reaction you can expect from listening to Sleep Token. You try to expect the unexpected from them, but they blow your mind every single time.
II is an absolute demon on the drums. There is no limit to Vessel's mind just like there is no limit to music itself. Music is a representation of freedom and a genuine way to express oneself and how many of us let things go.
Guys, as a musician I want to say thank you for giving opinions and reactions without the need to criticize destructively, as many wrong people do on social networks today. Their reactions are genuine, hate-free people who just want to have fun. Thanks for your good vibes!
Idk man, I'd take that to pretending you like it more or are more mind blown then you really are which is what the majority of reaction videos are saturated with.
I think they have an "enya" thing going on. There music provokes memories and emotions that you had buried and forgot about! Vessels lyrics are so relatable and make you think "yep, I feel you!" and I love it! ❤
Not sure if you guys picked up on it through the lyrics, but its underlying story is having an argument in the car resulting in a car crash..."keep an eye on the road or we will both be here forever"...
Euclid is so deep but a great reaction video would be listening to The Night Dies Not Belong To God (they’re first song on their first album) and Euclid (the last song on this most recent album) all in one video. I promise it’ll be one of your best sleep token reaction videos, and probably the best sleep token reaction video ever
Honestly didn’t care for Granite when it first came out, but like a lot of their songs I didn’t immediately like; it grew on me. There’s something to their music that I can’t quite put my finger on, but I know I dig it. A lot. Aqua Regia is another from the new album that was a surprise favorite. It also stays in the same pocket through the song, but it’s quite different from what they normally sound like in my opinion. If you’re looking for something heavier take a look at Gods. Keep up the great work, love seeing your reactions!
I love the jazzy style of aqua regia, and then when it completely changes Fuck yeah But it definitely wasn't an initial favourite, it didn't feel like it was the right kinda change and didn't slot in the way songs like AYROK?, but I've come to really love it!
If you love the fact that it sounded like one lane throughout the entire song, then you'll love DYWTYLM. That's by far my favorite on the album. It's by no means to the creative level as Take Me Back To Eden, but I absolutely adore this song.
Agreed! DYWTYLM and Rain from this album are the two tracks I use most to introduce Sleep Token to people before fully diving in! Seriously though they're wonderfully done no matter what song it is!
DYWTYLM I feel like might be too poppy sounding for these too.... I like what the song is talking about but I don't like the sound of it on the album but the love version is a lil better because to me it sounds more of how vessel would have actually wrote it.
It will grow on you, this song is fire I think if you guys would have done a full album reaction, it would flow a lot better to you. With that said… I’m going back to asking for THE OFFERING. From their first album, you will love it
Absolutely agree! Once they finish off Take Me Back To Eden, I would suggest going through the first two albums (Sundowning and This Place Will Become Your Tomb) and in sequence as TMBTE is the third chapter of the trilogy!
@@YodaRules i really want them to just react to it back to back cuz its beautiful. 3 albums and singles and ep's all are like a chill rain and a hoodie with a quality headphone on a beautiful evening in fall, vibe.
This was the song that introduced me to Sleep Token. I’ve never had a song grab ahold of me like this one has before, and since its release it has not gotten old. It’s on every one of my playlists, and changed how I listen to music. I love this song like I’ve never loved a song before.
I'd love to see y'all react to their older music videos. incredible visuals and just as amazing lyrics. The Love You Want, Jaws, Alkaline are all incredible stories
The entire album is fantastic! Two of their songs on this album that is my favorite is The Apparition and Rain. To me it seems like The Apparition goes in a different direction like Ascensionism does, and Rain is just a bop.
They have blown me away, they are just phenomenal, adore them, there Wembley concert in December apparently sold out in 10 mins, says it all . Worship ❤🙏
Lore with Sleep Token nerd: Vessel recognizes that this person is addictive, that maybe they aren’t perfect but he can’t get enough. He “is more than just somebody in (their) passenger seat” showing that maybe the relationship is just a NSA thing, but he feels it’s more meaningful, that they mean something to him, and he also should have value (emphasis on the words “But I Am”). He is also starting to reveal that the relationship has some issues, but they are just pushing through and continuing to be lovers despite fights and issues. (not my info)
Another good one off of an old album is The Offering, Hell what am I talking about, most of their stuff is amazing, the musicality and artistry is next level. And the lyrics are on another level. Love these guys.
Bro does the beer glass get exponentially bigger or what, my man was drinking from a Viking chalice last time, now he's moved onto a fucking glass trashcan. What's next dude! 😂😂😂 Great reactions though! ❤
One of my favourites of the album! Such a great mix of styles and Vessel's voice is hypnotic! Sleep Token is quickly becoming one of my favourite bands out right now. There really isn't anything that they can't do!!! P.S. Loved the Seinfeld call out! That was one of my favourites Seinfeld episodes...lol Well played Eric, well played! I was just rewatching this video and the STANK face on Eric that 3:55 minute mark was amazing....lol
You guys need to listen to Dark Signs, Atlantic then Granite as a group. The intensity of these songs shakes me to the core. Vessel’s strength and resilience is what I call Soul Speak. He is very human and I adore him for it.
you guys are hands down my favorite reactors! i get so much joy from seeing you guys listen to new music and i love that you pick up on everything that goes into the song
Seeing the both of you reaction to sleep token has been such a ride, I’ve been listening to them for a bit now and I really do recommend listening to rain. The first time I heard is it literally got me hooked on the album and I think it’d be cool to see y’all react to it!!! Also love your videos keep up the good work :))
Yasssss. I adore how musical ears, identify these elements. I was absolutely, in love from first, listen. Felt like so, much reverence for So, many things
Gotta say, just found your channel today and have been binging since early this morning. Love this. Love your reactions and how it's all love. Appreciate your honest reviews on these songs and that no matter what it's pure positivity even if you don't necessary love it, you appreciate. Thank you brothers for this, you've made my day! Best reviews of Sleep Token I've seen and will be stalking your channel for more.
This was the first song i heard from them after watching II's drumeo interview. And honestly it could've been any other song from them and i still would be hooked. But this one is so special with everything going on. It was so fresh for my ears and that is what i love about them. Definitely getting a tat of their logo. Any ideas where to put it?
The first drum fill is the reason I pre-ordered the album on vinyl. Didn't get my copy on release day, so I bought a solid black vinyl at my local store. I play the shit out of that album, all because that first drum fill got to me
Eric you will love dark signs by sleep token, its off their first album and you would love it!!! Same as their songs "higher" snd "high water" are so beautiful and i can recomend enough you guys gotta go through from their first album sundowning, their 2nd this place will become your tomb, and take me back to eden its just a full blown cohesive story and build. TMBTE hits 2x harder if you heard the first 2 albums :)
I would love to see you guys continue to react to these guys. Just discovered them this year and they have already became one of my favorite bands, if not my favorite. If I had to give a song request it’s gotta be high water from the album this place will become your tomb. The ending to that song absolutely fucks
That cup is so big lol. Sleep Token is my new fav band, I immediately went and bought all 3 albums last month, found an early EP, and got the non-album songs like Jaws, hooked.
So in the beginning where vessel talks about “sulfur on your breath Granite in my chest.” Sulfur degrades granite. Maybe Her words hurt Vessels heart. Incredible symbolism. Dude’s a genius.
That is lyrical genius honestly, just one of the reasons I love Sleep Token and really appreciate Vessel's lyrics.
Same with Aqua Regia. He must have had a major in music theory and a minor in chemistry.
I am still in awe of how vessel can write lyrics so specific but so open for interpretation to anyone listening, like "you only drink the water when its holy" could mean in a "when it benefits you" sense and on the flip side if you dive deeper it could mean in a toxic self destructive sense (Aqua Regia = Holy water, an acidic mixture that melts gold) and in another song he sings "I will turn my walls to gold for you" so I take this as a so you can melt them down for me. Also lines with the "sulfur on your breath granite in my chest" since sulfur degrades granite.
Dude, you just give me a whole new intepretation for me.
@@m.arifhendrain hip hop, they call that a double entendre.

I can't relate to the subject of the song, but I love the image he is painting and I can feel its message.
Most underrated line on the album: “acting like you only brought me here to get below me”
For me it's, "You gave me nothing whatsoever but a reason to leave."
I love that line too.
@@angelamiller2577 I feel like that’s a little obvious though. You really need to think about the context to understand what “get below me” really means and I’ve never seen a reactor really comment on it.

@@zekethebassman We don't control what lyrics resonate with us, and what lyrics don't.
All three of those lines mean something to me. 🤷♀️
I think my favorite is “you only drink the water when you think it’s holy.”
Can we please get a compilation of Eric casually lifting his giant drinking glasses 😂
Yes please
i need a comp of eric's outro sayings
So apparently Apollo has blessed me with futuresight.
that mf surprised me lol
Flower vase*
Does she crash the car? Accident at 6:10 then guitar sirens. "I was more than just a body in your passenger seat", "Between the second hand smoke and the glass on the street", "So keep an eye on the road or we will both be here forever".
“My brain shut right the fuck off.” 😂
1. the giant cup is funny
2. "acting like you only brought me here to get below me" is awesome
3. "you only drink the water when you think its holy" is the absolute best line I've ever heard
Vessel could release a rap album and I wouldn’t even be mad
My man drinking beer out of a vase🤘
Eric saying "who knows" is the most genuine reaction you can expect from listening to Sleep Token. You try to expect the unexpected from them, but they blow your mind every single time.
"this guitar tone is just pissed off!" I am absolutely incorporating that into my vocabulary! 😅
II is an absolute demon on the drums. There is no limit to Vessel's mind just like there is no limit to music itself. Music is a representation of freedom and a genuine way to express oneself and how many of us let things go.
Forever stalking you guys for MORE Sleep Token reactions!
Also, Eric’s drinking glasses get more bizarre every video 😂 I cackle every time!
Guys, as a musician I want to say thank you for giving opinions and reactions without the need to criticize destructively, as many wrong people do on social networks today.
Their reactions are genuine, hate-free people who just want to have fun. Thanks for your good vibes!
Idk man, I'd take that to pretending you like it more or are more mind blown then you really are which is what the majority of reaction videos are saturated with.
Granite is one of my absolute favorite songs of all time…point blank, period.
Worship 🙏🖤🙏🖤
I feel like Eric drinks from slightly larger things every episode 😂 what’s next, a Home Depot bucket?
😂😂😂
I love how you can see the moment on kyles face when the metalhead senses started feeling the inbound breakdown 😂😂 I love you guys
Eric every single time Vessel pops off 😂 NO, NO NO NO, HOLD ON! You guys have the best ST reactions. Keep them coming! 😅🤌🏻
I think they have an "enya" thing going on. There music provokes memories and emotions that you had buried and forgot about! Vessels lyrics are so relatable and make you think "yep, I feel you!" and I love it! ❤
That’s baby making music right there
Granite is the perfect blend of your favorite genres, that guitar isn’t just chunky as hell it’s PISSED
I sing this song at absurd levels in my car
Granite was the first Sleep Token song I heard; pretty sure I still haven't fully recovered. #Worship
The way he goes up instead of staying the same during problem hits my brain just right
Also the drops in the 2nd instrumental hnnnn
Honestly one of the best songs on this album. I love y’all’s reaction to their music!!!
So good! That bass line is everything! Vessel's lyrics and delivery are amazing.
Yeaaa man, that and the harmonies are top. And the guitar riff is the same as the bass line in the first verses, that's why is too good
the drums 🔥
It reminds me of the grudge, alt rock and r&b, of my little-hood (the 90s)
This one is incredible. Yall just slowly but surely gotta get theu the entire album, like all songs bring something special to the table.
i want them to experience it as soon as possible , i have been listening to this album since it came out untill now, none stop
Not sure if you guys picked up on it through the lyrics, but its underlying story is having an argument in the car resulting in a car crash..."keep an eye on the road or we will both be here forever"...
"I see you go half blind when you're looking at me" is the headlights of the vehicle about to T-bone them in an intersection on his side of the car...
could also interpret that although not blind of the sight of them, u are still half blind as your view of the road is no longer there
Beautiful lyrics
Euclid is so deep but a great reaction video would be listening to The Night Dies Not Belong To God (they’re first song on their first album) and Euclid (the last song on this most recent album) all in one video. I promise it’ll be one of your best sleep token reaction videos, and probably the best sleep token reaction video ever

Possibly because DYWTYLM is more pop is why I don't like. That is my least favorite track off album but the rest is awesome.
Yes! I know people love the complexity and uniqueness of the other songs but sometimes I just need songs like Granite to just sweep me away😍
The way you said the fact today made it sound like you been called out before… haven’t we all?😂
Hahahaha
It will grow on you, this song is fire
I think if you guys would have done a full album reaction, it would flow a lot better to you.

You guys should do all of sleep token. I'd watch every single one. 💕
Ascensionism, rain, dark signs, take me back to Eden, apparation, Euclid's great with an incredible message to end the trilogy of albums,
I'd love to see y'all react to their older music videos. incredible visuals and just as amazing lyrics. The Love You Want, Jaws, Alkaline are all incredible stories
its evident both the heads are hooked up to Sleep Token,..this is incredible!!!
oh man I just jumped into this Sleep Token ride with y'all and holy hell did this one hit on a visceral level 😳👏🤘🖤🎶
The entire album is fantastic! Two of their songs on this album that is my favorite is The Apparition and Rain. To me it seems like The Apparition goes in a different direction like Ascensionism does, and Rain is just a bop.
"Apparition" is one of my favorites as well.
😱 Granite, The Apparition and Rain are my top 3 also 🔥
This band saved music for me.
They have blown me away, they are just phenomenal, adore them, there Wembley concert in December apparently sold out in 10 mins, says it all . Worship ❤🙏
Kyle, you made me think "what would Corey say" 😂
The way the breakdown just fits so perfectly into the last chorus is just *chefs kiss 👌

I knew you were going to “fatality!” At that part 😂 was waiting for it
All of their albums are amazing. Looking forward to more reactions.
Another good one off of an old album is The Offering, Hell what am I talking about, most of their stuff is amazing, the musicality and artistry is next level. And the lyrics are on another level. Love these guys.
The guitar tone sounds exactly like DOOM's soundtrack, feels like you're carrying a BFG ready to slay demons
Bro does the beer glass get exponentially bigger or what, my man was drinking from a Viking chalice last time, now he's moved onto a fucking glass trashcan. What's next dude! 😂😂😂 Great reactions though! ❤
Might as well do the whole album 🤷♂️, personally I love Aqua Regia
One of my favourites of the album! Such a great mix of styles and Vessel's voice is hypnotic! Sleep Token is quickly becoming one of my favourite bands out right now. There really isn't anything that they can't do!!!
P.S. Loved the Seinfeld call out! That was one of my favourites Seinfeld episodes...lol
Well played Eric, well played!

This song is a banger. Just a great listen from start to end. Thanks guys for the great reaction and man what a fucking beer glass. Thanks.
Love watching y'all fall in love with Sleep Token 🖤 Been binge watching your videos lol
It feels like this band was created for you guys to react to
this is my favorite off the album
Vibing to the song and this man take a swig of some sweet tea out of a flower vase 😂
100% mission, ready music!! This band is something else
You guys need to listen to Dark Signs, Atlantic then Granite as a group. The intensity of these songs shakes me to the core. Vessel’s strength and resilience is what I call Soul Speak. He is very human and I adore him for it.
Stumbled across you guys this morning and went down the rabbit hole watching your videos. You guys are awesome. Subscribed.
you guys are hands down my favorite reactors! i get so much joy from seeing you guys listen to new music and i love that you pick up on everything that goes into the song
i just started watching you guys recently and i have to say i fucking love the "fatality" thing lmao
Seeing the both of you reaction to sleep token has been such a ride, I’ve been listening to them for a bit now and I really do recommend listening to rain. The first time I heard is it literally got me hooked on the album and I think it’d be cool to see y’all react to it!!! Also love your videos keep up the good work :))
We need a Sleep Token - Euclid reaction!
Love this one. You two have me howling 😂 “pool shrinkage is real” 😂😂😂 More Sleep Token!! 🖤
This is the best channel to find some new music to listen to !!!! I was needing something new.
This is one of my faves from these guys! Awesome 👏🏼
I love how he always has a weird cup to drink from each video hahah
The best way I can describe sleep token is that vessel writes R&B for metal heads. Like if Mariah Carey collaborated with deftones
That is an excellent way to describe them. Thank you.
Yasssss. I adore how musical ears, identify these elements. I was absolutely, in love from first, listen.
Felt like so, much reverence for So, many things
I love y'alls expressions during reactions! ❤
Gotta say, just found your channel today and have been binging since early this morning. Love this. Love your reactions and how it's all love.

Please do Aqua Regia next!? Glistening cords and all that!!
Side note I love how Eric always has some type of over the top drinking cup lmao 🤣
Love the reaction. Love dude casually drinking from a vase.
I was jammin' out to this at 1 am. Love this band! 😃
Eric’s face “who knows” 😅 priceless
I lost it when he took a sip out of the damn vase 😂
The Love You Want and Bloodsport (from the room below) are musts for reactions
"Shrinkage from the pool is real!!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Can confirm bud!!!
Been waiting for this one, so glad this happened!
LOL shrinkage from the pool!! great reaction guys!!
This was the first song i heard from them after watching II's drumeo interview. And honestly it could've been any other song from them and i still would be hooked. But this one is so special with everything going on. It was so fresh for my ears and that is what i love about them. Definitely getting a tat of their logo. Any ideas where to put it?
You know... you guys are actually great commentators and reacters. I really like the videos you guys produce.
I love that they are saying that that relationship is like a car crash!!!!!❤❤
I just wanna see the kitchen cabinets in Eric's house, with all the crazy random, oversized glasses LOL
This is the SECOND most underrated Sleep Token song…Rain is 1!
5:55 "What are we gonna do?" This is called "Baby Making Music for MetalHeads"
I've been hoping you guys would do this one. One of my favorites!
every video i’m so excited to see what ridiculous cup eric is gonna have
Kyle, bro, I love your face. The same face I make every time it breaks loose in one of their songs. They are so good!
Just started to watch your channel and doesn't help my sober October when Eric is drinking hulk size cup of beer lmaoo
Adam / II On those Drum Fills bro dude is fucking incredible on the kit
This is my favorite Sleep Token track. The lyrics the whole vibe is exceptional. It also works perfectly on the album flowing into Aqua Regia.
Great song, lyrics, music, all. Amazing album
The first drum fill is the reason I pre-ordered the album on vinyl. Didn't get my copy on release day, so I bought a solid black vinyl at my local store. I play the shit out of that album, all because that first drum fill got to me
Eric you will love dark signs by sleep token, its off their first album and you would love it!!! Same as their songs "higher" snd "high water" are so beautiful and i can recomend enough you guys gotta go through from their first album sundowning, their 2nd this place will become your tomb, and take me back to eden its just a full blown cohesive story and build. TMBTE hits 2x harder if you heard the first 2 albums :)
You guys need to do Aqua Regia too! So good!
I love this track - great reaction!
I would love to see you guys continue to react to these guys. Just discovered them this year and they have already became one of my favorite bands, if not my favorite. If I had to give a song request it’s gotta be high water from the album this place will become your tomb. The ending to that song absolutely fucks
That cup is so big lol. Sleep Token is my new fav band, I immediately went and bought all 3 albums last month, found an early EP, and got the non-album songs like Jaws, hooked.
I screamed at “that click or whatever the f*ck” 🙏🏼😂😍
