"I'm caught up in her design, and how it connects to mine..." 7:03 Man that melody on top of that chord progression made me tear up, and such a beautiful lyric too
I get what you mean with the techno comparison, I think in the case of Sleep Token it's a sawtooth wave effect which is something you'll hear a lot in the background of techno and minimal house music.
I've come full-circle back to a time in my life where my two favourite things on the internet are: - Sleep Token, and - Seeing the grins of reaction TH-camrs listening to Sleep Token
Carl Cox is fantastic, diverse musical tastes keep things interesting mate. This song is wicked, I love every aspect of Sleep Token but the drummer is truly worthy of worship. Killer fills, unique snare placements- excellent work once again. Welcome back Drew, greetings once again from Melbourne Oz. As a proud Australian you really should dive into Karnivool again, Goliath and Deadman are my recommendations.
Thank you my friend! Also great to hear someone appreciate the alternative perspective I brought to the track with the Carl Cox reference. Appreciate it man. Also, I’ve actually listened to a good few Karnivool tracks on Stream live - definitely heard deadman anyway!
@@DrewFortune97 Well if you want heavy as all fuck metal then give Diamond Construct a go. Generic is my personal favourite, young lads starting to make waves.
Every reaction video I’ve watched, everyone has the exact same facial expression during the beginning of the second verse when the guitars come in 😂 This song is surreal and I can’t stop listening.
Glad to see you back, especially for a new track from one of my favourite bands! Loved watching your reactions getting into this band, so looking forward to seeing this banger too! Take as many breaks as you need, mental health is way more important than reaction videos, just do what you enjoy - hope things are going well 💪
Love the video, man! I had much the same reaction when the drop hits. Definitely a stellar band and I hope they get more attention with this album. Cheers, bro. Welcome back 🤘
Fáilte ar ais, a fear! 👍👏👏 This is me own first time hearing this new track from the 'Token. Id actually no idea it was out, till this reaction, so absolute massive tanks to you for getting this out there like that. I like this song- I love the ethereal, swelling levels of lush synths and effects, and then down comes the riffing to give the smoooth soundscapes a jagged edge. Theres obviously gonna be a lot more diversity within the new album, so I look forward to that. Sláinte, mo chara.
@@DrewFortune97 I can imagine the all sorts of shite that copyrights and blockage can dampen and dour the mood regarding the uploads you do. The work an' time into it, then it goes down the Leitheris when blocked. Im a huge fan of Rick Beato's 'What makes this song Great?" series on YT, and despite him being a well revered musician, producer, sound lad, he has GodAwful trouble with blocked videos at times, despite them having the utter best intentions and praise for the band/musician. But Hellyeah if/when y'drop a new reaction thats great,mate. Keep up the good Obair!!
I think Sleep Token have a good future ahead of them if they maintain consistency. I could see this song being on the charts for sure, they could break the streak of no metal song being on the charts (it's been many years btw). I dont like so much when they completely go Pop, I think it's just a waste if I'm honest, we have a tonne of these songs on the charts already (and as for the all out heavy tracks none of those will touch the charts for obvious reasons). Songs that merge the two however with this track Alkaline and others is where they start to grab my attention, it's something very different but also poppy. But big props to Sleep Token for trying to push boundaries and break molds. We need this as Pop has just been oversaturated with the same old same old time and time again.
You're right about the similar flare between that techno(sounds more like trance) track and sleep token in that both are using synth (keyboard) distortion. And if I had to guess, it's probably a mod on a Korg Triton LE or some Triton variation including any of its knock offs in other brands. There's so many sampling packs and mods for that synth that sound similar. On top of that, though, at least on the sleep token song is a bit of reverb effect on the synth as well to give it that "haunting" sound, bc it kind of lingers, even milliseconds beyond each keystroke. I've never actually looked into sleep tokens gear to say that's a fact lol but your reaction here has made it pique my interest so tyty mate!
The idea of reuploading the song on your channel to check if it's gonna be copyrighted is brilliant! I wanted to start doing reaction videos and recorded a few of them. But when I uploaded them, all of them got instantly blocked and I was sooooo mad. I didn't do that since.
Drew I love your reviews!! Glad you’re doing well 🥰 To me the song almost sounded like an intro to the album. Sleep token is amazing and the drummer?! 🤯
Sorry about the discouragment of YT dude it’s such bullshit🤦🏻♂️ but good to see you back dude, especially for Sleep Token!! Good shit man. &’ dude, a MUST reaction you needa do is Lorna Shore’s new single “To The Hellfire”👀 nastiest shit ever
New setup looks great. Happy to hear from you whenever you feel like posting! *What's the name of that techno track you compared it to? Sounded dope. I appreciated that entire tangent haha.
Loved that connection with the EDM track! Shows awesome musical memory. Like a Chef remembering flavor profiles from years ago. Too bad you don’t make your own music cause you could use that same muscle to pick and pull some amazing influences!
Congrats on the new setup. Looks cozy. Random suggestion: You should check out the band Wheel. Songs like 'Wheel', 'Movement', or 'Hyperion'. They're Tooly yes but they have a distinct flavor too. Can't put my finger on it. Also *drum roll* *drum roll intensifies* 🥁🥁🥁 Karnivool - Deadman 😁🤘
Just as i thought the song needed some spice, it picked up! Awesome track :D And welcome back on the tube! Means i can suggest Thornhill-Coven once again 😂 Did you find any new great bands that you liked on your own time? Edit: Ohh i forgot something! As mentioned in a previous comment the new VOLA album is an absolute blast 👍
I was so pumped but unfortunately this may be the track I like least by them. I'm sure the album will have great variety though. You gotta get on more of the new VOLA album. Best this year so far.
wait, how most underrated band when it has already 33 000 views after one day??? there are still many bands which have barely few thousands after years, so be careful saying who is underrated...
True, you’re right. But I’d still consider 33,000 views underrated in the grand scheme of things. If you look at the likes of Slipknot - they’re pulling in hundreds of thousands, if not millions of views in their first week of uploading a new track. I know sleep token aren’t the same genre as Slipknot but if we’re comparing bands based on views/talent alone - they’re extremely underrated.
@@DrewFortune97 yes but as I am saying, there are still many many bands which are totally underrated, look for example at band called "In Disarray"and you will see. But yes, it is difficult to compare bands od different genres together. Metalcore should be the most popular as the genre but it is totally in contrary with this, metalcore is one of the most underrated genres and it is really sad 😢
![[RAPPER REACTION] SLEEP TOKEN - ALKALINE](/img/n.gif)
Missed you guys😢 what we thinking about the new setup?🥶🥶
Looks like you got the message I sent of sleep token on discord
Yeah man love the set up must of cost a small fortune,,, yeah Alkaline is bitcoin:)
Looks cozy as hell!
Love the new set up. Would love to see a reaction to Hypnosis. Best ST song imo.
Glad you love Sleep Token too bro! They do need more exposure so glad you reacted to it so fast
My man! We need a dual reaction soon👀 needs to be the perfect track though🚀
Please Yes
Love @metalbirb commenting on your videos. The TH-cam metal bromances are the best.
It's the perfect single, September can't come soon enough
Worship 🙌
"I'm caught up in her design,
and how it connects to mine..." 7:03
Man that melody on top of that chord progression made me tear up, and such a beautiful lyric too
This song is growing on me more and more. Sleep Token still has not missed. Glad you’re back for this one!!
Sleep token is on a whole other molecular level of existence. Worship.
The chemistry and just the way the band write is just not too heavy nor to pop sounding Worship
I get what you mean with the techno comparison, I think in the case of Sleep Token it's a sawtooth wave effect which is something you'll hear a lot in the background of techno and minimal house music.
Yup
their music is soothing enough for bedtime and yet can energize me for work in the wee early hours
"If anything, she's an undiscovered element
Either born in hell or heaven-sent
But either way I'm into it"
These guys can do no wrong in my mind. Truly a special group. I think they're gonna pop and become huge soon.
you were correct

What techno track is that? Kinda like the sound of it
It’s Carl Cox - Reste dude, you’ll find it by searching that.
@@DrewFortune97 awesome, thanks mate
Love Sleep Token! Can't wait for the new album

Love it. The groove is amazing and the song is a great return.
Listened to this song in literally the first five minutes it was released, now I'm here to see just how much everyone else is loving it.
Sleep Token: or "when you're having sex and the Doom music kicks in."
I love Sleep Token so much , great vid Drew, and love your new

Missed you Drew, glad you refreshed yourself I seen u living your life on insta. Welcome back King 👑❤️
Love the video, man! I had much the same reaction when the drop hits. Definitely a stellar band and I hope they get more attention with this album.
Cheers, bro. Welcome back 🤘
My man!🚀🚀
For the love of GOD, please let Sleep Token tour this year
I can't bring myself to want anything from Sleep Token, because I know every song on the album will be a different genre lol
and of course, absolutely amazing
whoa. insane lyrics. and awesome setup! more warm and artsy!

damn man, GOJIRA - VACUITY LIVE 2010
I think what your referring to is the bass stabs right?, how it goes from an octave jump, I like it as it's a subtle tension to what's coming
Really excited for the new album, but I think there's more underrated artists than them out there at the moment.
Great reaction ! What is the name of that Techno song you were using as reference? 👌
Welcome back mate, new single's great if you ask me. Would love to see you get back to Devin Townsend, Deep Peace is an absolute journey.
New setup looks great too, great lighting as well.
@@Gravityys thank you sir!❤️
My new fave band love them soo much Worship!!! Something bout to drop Friday ahhhhh buzzing x

What’s that techno track called?

Thank you bro! Also I’ve actually already heard that Karnivool track dude
Oh snap. I hope you enjoyed it! I'd also suggest 'Goliath' from them. A lot shorter and equally good.
Honestly, their cover of Outkast's Hey Ya is one of their best songs.
cant wait for september dude

For sure a grower man, give it a few days maybe 👀👀
I was slightly underwhelmed at first, but when that drop hits?.... Bro. I was hooked.
Give it a few listens.. thought it was only okay on my first listen, but I thought I'd play it a couple of times and it's been on repeat all day now
Check out Jaws if you haven’t heard that one yet
