One EP: Thread the Needle ✅️ Fields of Elation ✅️ When the Bough Breaks Two EP: Calcutta Nazareth Jericho Singles: Jaws ✅️ Hey Ya ✅️ The Way That You Were Is It Really You? Hallelujah (Live)
I see this song as the only time where Vessel and Sleep are in peaceful and euphoric union. After Thread the Needle, which I see as Vessel finally giving in to Sleep, this is the honeymoon phase. That's why I see "I'm losing my faith in our lives apart" as Vessel being so completely enamored by Sleep that he can't imagine life without him (pretty sure Sleep is still a him at this point). To me, this EP is the perfect representation of the union, elation, and downfall of Sleep and Vessel's whole relationship.
When the bough breaks is next!!!! My fave sleep token song. The atmosphere, the emotion, How it builds....and builds......and builds...... A stunning track. Absolute banger!
On one of your previous reactions you guys were talking about the quality of some of the live footage . . . For live vocals try 'Hallelujah live Lafayette Room 4/29/22 many angles . . . Two beautiful voices !!!
I'm old lol 😂, how do I view the set list??? I'm seeing them on the 6th in Tampa with my daughter. She said something about a set list but not how to look it up. Help?!? Please...😅
I can’t get away from the idea of new material by the time they play the U.K. as we have no title for the tour and the word used for presale doesn’t relate to anything we’ve had so far 🤞
@@NikkiWright-STLVR23 so they haven't released their set list, but on the 10th they do their first live show of the year, and usually they play the same setlist for half the year and then a new one for the second half!
@@syvus1307 oh ok. I'm anxious to see them so bad lol 😆. I haven't enjoyed a band as much since Bon Jovi Slippery When Wet tour. Skid Row also was touring with them. I had a two for one special lol. But the best concert I ever went to had 10 Years, Flyleaf, Stone Sour, Def Tones and Korn. That was an awesome show, but I feel like Sleep Token will surpass it!
Loving your ST reactions ❤ the next song on One is one of my favourites! When The Bough Breaks is such a vibe 👌🏻 When I heard Euclid on TMBTE I honestly got so emotional 😂❤ "This Bough has broken through" 😢 just pure chills.
your ST reactions (and just your reactions in general tbh!) are soooo good!! i love how into everything you always get, dissecting lyrics, and videos when they’re around. going back through all your older ST reactions to get myself extra hyped to FINALLY see them live in a couple of weeks, i can’t wait!!
I love every ST song (and your reactions) and was especially excited to watch you do this one. I am obsessed with Sleep Token and "nobody else call pull me out". 🖤
Fields of Elation is one that I think about a lot. I get what he means but I can't describe it. He sings quiet and loamy. Loam makes me think that God made Adam out of loam. Right?! I think he means a certain field that we can "go" to. I've been meditating for twelve years now. I had so many strange experience and strange visions. I think he means something like that....but I'm not sure.
Loving seeing you guys react to the early stuff, it has a special place in a lot of fans hearts. You can really feel the inspo for their older stuff, and this early stuff still stands on its own. One and Two are stories of their own and a great start to ST
A small detail that some have mentioned already, but this version on TH-cam is different than the version on Spotify, Apple Music, etc. This version has a few differences but the main difference being the outro with the lyric “Apart” echoing and fading out where it’s cut from the catalog version. I prefer this version and glad you guys reacted to it. Great video as always!
i always love when Eric says "let's fucking go!" when the guitar and drums kick in, even if it's still a quiet rock out lol. also this song gives me huge like early 2000s alt rock vibes, like hoobastank almost? (i hope someone remembers that band, lol). i don't super like their older stuff, but after rehearing this again, maybe i'll give it another shot!
Always been one of my favourite songs of theirs. Can't wait for you to get to 'Way That You Were', this was the song that my wife walked down the aisle to.
this song reminds me very much of Dead Letter Circus, back when I didn't know who Sleep Token were I instantly searched for them in my music library to compare them lol. then I recognized my mistake of course, and I like Sleep Token way better. but their old songs reminded me more of other bands, like Deftones, before they found their own unique sound. can't wait for more music from them and for you to react to it ^^
I can't wait to see you react to "The Way That You Were" ...that song made me straight up ugly cry the first time I heard it. I'm so happy you guys are on this journey ❤❤
I love your channel so much, you guys are just like me and my younger brother.. me metal head him more into hip hop… I lost him last year and would love to just sit down and listen to music with him one last time 😢🙏 worship
"They are not to be fucked with" 😂😂 right?!?!!! Vessel is the real deal. He never fronted, he was always himself and pure genius. Just knowing he did this before II is insane. Is there not anything that Vessel can't do??? Oh, and knowing you're going to do the Hallelujah cover.....🎉🥳🔥❤️🤸🎊‼️ Can't wait! ❤ Worship ❤
I absolutely love this song and I think if I had to name a favourite Sleep Token track, this would be The One. There's really just something about it. It didn't just get under my skin, it got under my fingernails, into my bones and everything. It's the track of theirs I most often play just as I've got into bed. But it also pulls on my emotions, giving me the warm fuzzies to start with and then dragging them out of me seemingly on a string and stamping on them whilst simultaneously chucking on big handfuls of salt just so that, y'know, I *really* feel that pain! I don't tend to look for hidden meanings or messages in songs and I approach them much like I do the films that I watch - as a form of entertainment. Sometimes I forget them as soon as I've heard/seen them. But Sleep Token's music has a different quality to it that's unlike any I've heard so far from anyone else. It's quite visceral and is sometimes scary. And I'll tell you something else. I'm here for it. I know that this chunk of word soup might make me look like some sort of strange person and there's a time I wouldn't have been comfortable with that at all, but things change as you get older. It's taken a long time for me to be comfortable in my own skin I suppose and it doesn't bother me as much now as it would have done if people think I'm some sort of strange person, because we all are to some extent aren't we? What is strange I think is that it's taken me this long to be able to recognise and realise that and that it's the intensity of this particular band's work and their lyrics that's sort of helped me find that. ❣Worship❣ ETA: I know this would never happen, never even in a month of Sundays, but I'd love to hear a duet with Sleep Token and Kate Bush. Two greats together...
ugh i can't wait for you guys to hear the rest, fields of elation is my all-time favorite! so glad to see you guys share your experience on listening to these songs for the first time ^_^
Please react to Is it Really You by Vessel from Sleep Token. Its a cover, but its a beautiful rendition taht makes me cry everytime i hear it. I think you guys would really enjoy it
I was told even now that III and IV only join for live performances, on all the studio stuff everything is Vessel (vocals, instruments, and production) except II on drums.
After hearing Kyle say he believes this was all just Vessel in the studio, I want to bring up that every single piece of work they have EVER created was just Vessel and II. Something some people don’t know is that III and IV are just paid touring members
@medusastone2725 that is the assumption but nothing has been confirmed. I think we will have to wait til new music to find out if the credits say Vessel II III IV 🤷♀️
Hey um if you wanna take a Falling in Reverse break. You could listen to Don’t Mess With ouija boards. It’s totally different and would blow your minds. 1:33
Next is When The Bough Breaks. This song is just beautiful. I would recommend listening to the studio version first then listen to this powerful live performance (th-cam.com/video/ros54yEUUu0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=M4oqjf9aXv-UGlEj) This live performance is shorter than the original, but man it is amazing
You guys should check out d4vd - romantic homicide. I recommend the official live version since he adds more to the song. He made the song in his sisters closet on his phone.
You should do Nik and Wills Dark Signs cover. It seems like Nik remakes all the instrumentals now for the last 2. I wonder why..I also wonder why Rain isn't published on TH-cam as it was meant to be last autumn as Will said in the early spring of 2023 before he met ST in the summer...I mean I am very certain why but..
Man I can't wait to see your guys face for Nazareth
I wonder if they know the video is wrong tho
@@gitsiemonster you mean the jaws video thing or what?
@@TeeBagGee the mix up between videos
ME TOO!!!!!!!! I’m trying to be patient!!! 😂
I like sleep token, but Nazareth is kinda trash
One EP:
Thread the Needle ✅️
Fields of Elation ✅️
When the Bough Breaks
Two EP:
Calcutta
Nazareth
Jericho
Singles:
Jaws ✅️
Hey Ya ✅️
The Way That You Were
Is It Really You?
Hallelujah (Live)
Much appreciated.
Calcuta and Is it really You... Damn, those vocals are outwordly beautiful
@@Rykerroadhot take but the three songs on EP Two are the best 3 consecutive songs in their entire discography.
@@Rykerroad Of course 👍🏻🤘🏻
@@Kira-qc4qi I honestly can't disagree. Dark Signs, Higher, and Take Aim has to be a close second though.
Jericho is gonna make y’all go wild
Facts.
My hands are not worthy
I love how young Vessel’s voice sounds. It’s like hearing him grow as their story grows too.
I see this song as the only time where Vessel and Sleep are in peaceful and euphoric union. After Thread the Needle, which I see as Vessel finally giving in to Sleep, this is the honeymoon phase. That's why I see "I'm losing my faith in our lives apart" as Vessel being so completely enamored by Sleep that he can't imagine life without him (pretty sure Sleep is still a him at this point). To me, this EP is the perfect representation of the union, elation, and downfall of Sleep and Vessel's whole relationship.
I cant wait for you guys to react to When The Bough Breaks. Its a longer song, but its such a great song to get lost in, every second is worth it
I came to say this! Worship 🖤
I came to say this as well! WtBB was one of the two songs I cried for HOURS when I listened. Great reaction! Worship.
@@AsAbove.SoBelowthis song ruins me like WtBB
That song is BEAUTIFUL and still one of my favorites by them
And then the call back on Euclid “this bough has broken through” 👌🏼😭
Every single album, every single song is only vessel and II in the studio. Even on Eden.
But for the One EP, just V- man.
100% this. It's amazing.
Yeah, the whole first EP is done only by Vessel. He picks up II for the second EP "Two". And he obviously stayed for the journey.
II is credited as the Drummer on One, Vessel did everything else, besides George Lever engineering, but that is DEFINITELY II on the drums.
II has been called a “founding member” so I’m pretty sure he’s been there the whole time.
Interesting! Yeah, I admittedly did not fact-check that information, so that's my bad.
Dipthongs!
Adding more syllables, or drawing them out more
I learned from will ramos and Elizabeth 😂
"Nobody else can pull me out" I 💯 felt that line 😢
The world needs Sleep Token! I can’t get enough of this band. The best band ever!!!!
I can’t wait for “They Way That You Were”
Oh man, you're not ready for the Hallelujah cover. No one ever is. Just thinking about it makes me choke up.
Tears. Every. Dang. Time.
When the bough breaks is next!!!!
My fave sleep token song.
The atmosphere, the emotion, How it builds....and builds......and builds......
A stunning track.
Absolute banger!
THANK YALL for introducing me to ST!🙏 ✌❤🫂
i had no idea that the mv version was this much different, compared to the spotify version
I am absolutely hyped for When the Bough Breaks and Calcutta!! They're my top two songs!!!!
Calcutta is amazing 😍 massive ear worm.
On one of your previous reactions you guys were talking about the quality of some of the live footage . . . For live vocals try 'Hallelujah live Lafayette Room 4/29/22 many angles . . . Two beautiful voices !!!
can't wait to see the new setlist for their 2024 shows on the 10th
I'm old lol 😂, how do I view the set list??? I'm seeing them on the 6th in Tampa with my daughter. She said something about a set list but not how to look it up. Help?!? Please...😅
I can’t get away from the idea of new material by the time they play the U.K. as we have no title for the tour and the word used for presale doesn’t relate to anything we’ve had so far 🤞

@@edelwiess2306New Sleep Token Music? 🤔 😮
This band means so much to me, and Im glad that so many others feel the same way🙏🏻
Sorry for spamming the comments. I was commenting while watching. I'm so happy you are talking about doing the hallelujah cover!!!
Loving your ST reactions ❤ the next song on One is one of my favourites! When The Bough Breaks is such a vibe 👌🏻

So in a couple weeks it'll be "everything we TOUCH" 😵😍😫
Days, hopefully
You guys are gonna love Calcutta!
It really is amazing how all the pieces were there from the beginning.
This is my fav out of the EPs. It’s crazy how Vessel’s voice sends us on a journey
To think that ONE was done alone by Vessel and the II joins in TWO and then they became ONE is mind blowing. I CANT WAIT FOR YOU TO HEAR NAZARETH ❤️❤️
These 2 EPs are incredible, an album of these vibes would be insane
I love every ST song (and your reactions) and was especially excited to watch you do this one. I am obsessed with Sleep Token and "nobody else call pull me out". 🖤
This song is in my top 5 of Sleep Token songs. It’s just chefs kiss.
Also can’t wait till you guys get to the second EP.
Fields of Elation is one that I think about a lot. I get what he means but I can't describe it. He sings quiet and loamy. Loam makes me think that God made Adam out of loam. Right?! I think he means a certain field that we can "go" to. I've been meditating for twelve years now. I had so many strange experience and strange visions.

When The Bough Breaks will break your effin minds!! it’s so good!
When the bough breaks is chefs kiss 🤌🏼

I see One and Two as a prequel to the trilogy.
Sleep Token is always amazing. Thanks for continuing to dig into their music.
I love that heartbeat like Sound of the drums at the beginning like in Thread the needle.
A small detail that some have mentioned already, but this version on TH-cam is different than the version on Spotify, Apple Music, etc. This version has a few differences but the main difference being the outro with the lyric “Apart” echoing and fading out where it’s cut from the catalog version.

Here's the second step... you have a pathway of pain ahead of you, so tread lightly
i always love when Eric says "let's fucking go!" when the guitar and drums kick in, even if it's still a quiet rock out lol.
also this song gives me huge like early 2000s alt rock vibes, like hoobastank almost? (i hope someone remembers that band, lol). i don't super like their older stuff, but after rehearing this again, maybe i'll give it another shot!
Just Vessel on One, and everything else is Ves and II. III and IV have thus far only performed live.
So excited to see y'all react to lot of these songs. Calcutta, Jericho, the way that you were, is it really you?
The beauty of Vessel's lyrics is we can interpret them to our lives.
Always been one of my favourite songs of theirs.
Can't wait for you to get to 'Way That You Were', this was the song that my wife walked down the aisle to.
The way my head shot up right away when I heard you mention their cover of Hallelujah at the end 😭PLEASE do it, trust me, you'll LOVE IT
I can't recall if I've heard this one before but I loved it. Going on my playlist.
Love Kyle's Sweetwater shirt. I've got one too 😁👍
While I can't wait for the Naz reaction... Jericho holds my heart. WTBB is gorgeous as well. ❤

Yes Bough Breaks next!
Oh man the next one is my favorite early Sleep Token song by far
I absolutely love this song, can't wait for the next video! Can't wait for you guys' reaction to When The Bough Breaks!
WILL RAMOS AND NIK NOCTURNAL JUST DROPPED A COVER OF SLEEP TOKEN DARK SIGNS
Much love from Sudbury Ontario Canada

You should react to these: PLEASE
Sleep Token: Is it really you
And the band Issues!
This song is a “Vessel version” of Loathe’s original song
This song stands out the most of all Sleep Tokens songs, in my opinion :D : D
I'm just waiting Calcutta
This is one of my favorite songs, took me a while to get into the One but these songs hold a special place in my heart
ugh i can't wait for you guys to hear the rest, fields of elation is my all-time favorite! so glad to see you guys share your experience on listening to these songs for the first time ^_^
Another great in the books guys! Thanks for another one!
This is my favourite song from the one ep and prolly in my top 10 favourite sleep token songs overall
One is good, Two is amazing!
i'm just out here sharing a beer with Eric and nodding to the tempo with Kyle. this is dope.
Please react to Is it Really You by Vessel from Sleep Token. Its a cover, but its a beautiful rendition taht makes me cry everytime i hear it. I think you guys would really enjoy it
The clean guitar part in the beginning and the end is very similar to the guitar from Missing Limbs
I was told even now that III and IV only join for live performances, on all the studio stuff everything is Vessel (vocals, instruments, and production) except II on drums.
I love him so much 😭🥰
Time to vibe out 😎
After hearing Kyle say he believes this was all just Vessel in the studio, I want to bring up that every single piece of work they have EVER created was just Vessel and II. Something some people don’t know is that III and IV are just paid touring members
I'm hoping that changes going forward.
I thought they had officially joined recently?
@medusastone2725 that is the assumption but nothing has been confirmed. I think we will have to wait til new music to find out if the credits say
Vessel
II
III
IV
🤷♀️
EP One was really just Vessel though. ii was not involved
@@Kira-qc4qi oh really? Very interesting. Thank you for the info!
Bring on “When the Bough Breaks”!!!!! My favorite off this EP.
How did I miss this song...
I CHOKED 😂😂 No cuz really wrap it up!
My only metal head flex is my embroidered sleep token hoodie with the fields of elation art on the back
Hey um if you wanna take a Falling in Reverse break. You could listen to Don’t Mess With ouija boards. It’s totally different and would blow your minds. 1:33
ERIC PUT A SHIRT ON!!!!! MY EYES!!!! MY EYES!!!!! 😫
😂
If I remember correctly they used seven strings until Sundowning, and then they moved to eight strings.
This one definitely has a Deftones vibe to it
Next is When The Bough Breaks. This song is just beautiful. I would recommend listening to the studio version first then listen to this powerful live performance (th-cam.com/video/ros54yEUUu0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=M4oqjf9aXv-UGlEj)
This live performance is shorter than the original, but man it is amazing
The album after this is straight fire. I saved Calcutta for y’all’s reaction but I couldn’t wait for the last two😂
Prepare for calcutta
This song gives me Silverchair vibes. #90sNostalgia
Looking forward to 'jericho'
My Gawwd . . . . 💜🥰
Calcutta is going to be so good when you guys get to it. The music video is phenominal
Wtf kinda beer thing is that????????😂😂😂😂😂😂 1:46
LETS GOOOOOO
Does anyone know if theyre making more music? Euclid sounded like a resolution or a goodbye to me and im scared 😢
Looking forward to when you guys get to Nazareth on the two EP album. Even calcutta on that EP is great.
Honestly, even Jericho is amazing. Probably my personal favorite off the EP.
Nazareth is one of my top 5 ST songs.
Hallelujah and hey ya double feature?
i see you *want* to make them cry w this one lmao
watching this as a back to back reaction would destroy me lmao
worship
You guys should check out d4vd - romantic homicide. I recommend the official live version since he adds more to the song. He made the song in his sisters closet on his phone.
You should do Nik and Wills Dark Signs cover. It seems like Nik remakes all the instrumentals now for the last 2. I wonder why..I also wonder why Rain isn't published on TH-cam as it was meant to be last autumn as Will said in the early spring of 2023 before he met ST in the summer...I mean I am very certain why but..
There’s something about this that reminds me of aspects of how Incubus sounded. Anyone else hear it as well?
Please react to The Way That You Were Sleep Token next.
Yippeee
