Speaking of descending: the numbers with the M next to it in the lower right corner of the visualizer is a depth marker. Atlantic (first song) starts at the point sunlight cannot penetrate the ocean (914M) and Missing Limbs is Challenger Deep, the deepest part of the ocean (10,924M). There are a bunch of other ocean related Easter eggs in this album.
There's a theory, that I subscribe too, that the albums are elemental based. Sundowning is AIR. Tomb is WATER. Eden is EARTH. This is supported by song titles, artwork, themes. So the next album is going to be the FIRE album.
That makes me wonder if the black liquid from the TMBTE visualizers is the passage of time when life decays and turns into oil, which would ignite a fire.
Maybe not so, because they did say it was the start of a "new chapter" and the community seems to agree that these three albums are a trilogy, which is now over with Bring Me Back To Eden. I'm here for it either way, but that does sound cool. I imagine Fire would be heavier.
MHM. Like Dark Signs, Granite, Sugar and Descending all of them have that feel😊 so many of their songs are beautiful and sad etc but those 4 in particular just give off such a sexy vibe🤭
@@alyssaj6579 fr I'd put "Like That" on that list too. I love it when Vessel does that breathy voice with those high fascettos thrown in. I mean the man takes you places right?! 😂🥴🔥
my interpretation is that the high part with "until i let you fall ive been left no choice dont you see that" is sung by the goddess. with the second repeat you hear the voice telling that again and vessel saying at the same time in a voice layering while she speaks "why dont you just say what you wanted to say"...thats fugging deep shit
I agree. I took this song to be a conversation. The way the chorus is split in falsetto and chest voice and that call and response melody suggests two speakers going back and forth.
I’ve said before that I feel all high registers are sleep singing to vessel. It makes the music so much more interesting. If you listen to sugar as sleep singing to vessel, and then you get vessel coming in on the breakdown when the voice changes. This song it another perfect example of what I mean when I say they’re singing together. I personally think this is them singing back and forth. Quite a few songs are this way and I’m not sure if it’s true or not but the way the lyrics are written it seems that way to me 🤷🏼♀️
Yessssss, it's the same with Granite. Their songs are so goddamn dynamic. He almost sings as at least three different people; Vessel, Sleep, and given name. All of which are having these exchanges that add even more depth to their story. This is seriously some genius level shit. I don't know if he was born in hell or heaven sent but either way I'm into it.
@@Isaacclarkeftw yes, sugar was really the song that made this click for me. Sleep singing to vessel saying “though we never eat, we still know how to feed”
I'm just waiting for High Water at this point. Y'all are going to lose your minds. It also has one of my favorite sounds in the entire discography (which reappears at the end of The Apparition) - curious to see if you guys can pick it out 😏
I knew Descending was going to catch you off guard with the industrial trap sound. That chorus just hits home so hard. It so much reminds me of a past relationship...yes you come crawling back to me but I haven't recovered from the last go around with you. I'm still broken, weak and sinking and you come back with cheap talk like it'll be different or better and that I'll be better. Right back into the sickness!
Just think of this...their production was top notch on a small record label ....now imagine how epic their next album will be now that they've signed to a major record label 👌🏻💯
I cannot wait for them to do Telomeres. I only recently REALLY listened to it and I'm fully and completely obsessed with how beautifully tragic it is. Tears every damn time.
this reaction did not disappoint!! i just will never get over sleep token’s ability to make a song that has such deeply thought out lyrics so sultry and just UGH!
On their album booklet for TPWBYT, there are some coordinates on one of the pages that point to “Point Nemo” - also known as the most isolated place on earth. It’s more than 1,000 miles away from any civilization, and I found it offered a whole new perspective on this album for me. Vessel almost seems to be grasping for anything that can provide him sanctuary from his place of isolation. And of course all the ocean references, it all makes sense. These guys are just deep on a level I don’t think we will ever understand.
Yes, underrated song! I mentioned before a couple times that I feel like song is sleep and vessel singing together. If you listen to the voices and registers it’s kind of interesting that way. A very push pull relationship. Grab your tissues and buckle up!!
I’m gonna say something potentially unpopular here: I think this album’s emotional peak is High Water, and Missing Limbs is like coming down from that. Everyone is saying the buildup is to Missing Limbs, but for me it’s the buildup to High Water and then Missing Limbs is the resolution, if that makes any sense? Idk! At any rate, y’all are headed straight into two of the best songs on this album in Telomeres and High Water (with High Water being one of my favorite ST songs), and I can’t wait for those!
YES!!! FINALLY!!!! Ugh descending is so fucking cool, so underrated. You guys have been the absolute best when it comes to Sleep Token reactions. The amount of love and excitement yall express towards alot of peoples favorite band thay saved them❤🥰
I have been waiting for ya'll to get to this one. I love every Sleep Token song but Descending and Vore are definitely my favorites. There's just something special about Descending. Right before the first bridge, there's a sound that sounds like a submarine sonar signal which is so cool and at the end it just sounds like he's descending into the depths. He's a song writing genius. No doubt he writes inspired by real emotions and things going on in his life even if they aren't exact. Sadness, pain and betrayal are real emotions no matter what story they are applied to and I'm sad that he has struggled with these things and that we can all relate to them.
Anytime i want to listen to Sleep Token I don't care what comes next but I almost ALWAYS start with Sugar, Jaws, Nazareth or Descending as an opener that sets my mood.
I waited WEEEEEEEEKS for this video!!! descending is my #3 favorite song and I recently got my new overear headphones delivered and this is the first song I listened to
Easily one of my all time favorites. The whole package is just so good, the melodies, die production, Vessels haunting voice. Heard it 1000 times, will listen to it another million times, it doesn't get old.
Not sure if it was done on purpose but Ascensionism is song #6 on TMBTE, and Descending is song #9 on Tomb. If you look at the numbers it kinda looks like the line on 6 is going up and the line on 9 is going down. (Not a 69 joke)
Tomb implies going down and eden implies going up so I think you're right about the placement of the songs on the album. Also, the Chokehold dude comes up from the depths with water dripping out of him so there are a lot of indicators that he came up at the surface and now he wants to go even higher.
I have a theory at the end of Tomb that the noise we hear is a UK ambulance distorted through water, and it gets louder as he's being pulled toward the surface, screaming (larger theory being the car accident that plunged them into the ocean). The Chokehold figure coming up from water would confirm that more for me 👀
I have been anxious awaiting you guys react to this one. It LITERALLY takes my breath away!! When he sings "but I'm already on the ground" that pain I'm hearing makes me forget to breathe. Also the bridges does the same to me, especially the second one with the background.
I loved this reaction especially when I woke up this morning. ❤❤ I just wanted to say, changing the subject, Ren has released another Retake called Back on 74/Message in a Bottle Retake. I can't wait to watch your reaction to that video as you will get a nice surprise!!!🎉❤❤❤❤
Awesome reaction as always! I'm so excited because while I adore the whole album, Telomeres and Missing Limbs are my favorites, and Telomeres is next with Missing Limbs not far behind. All 3 of the last songs on the album are amazing (well, all their music is, but some feel just a lil more special) I can't wait! 💙
Hell yeah. This song is a VIBE. I know someone says this about every song, because ST doesn’t miss. But the next song Telomeres is one of my absolute favorites. Love these reactions!
I have been WAITING for this song reaction. By far one of my favorite Sleep Token songs in general. Its such a good one. As always amazing reaction from you guys. Can't wait for the EPs
I was waiting for this one! A lot of people don't seem to like this one because it is so different, but this was one of the first handful of ST songs I heard and I loved it immediately! So glad you guys also enjoyed it
when this album was being released the band had asigned each song an ocean depth/coordinates that descended (haha) the farther into the album the song was located. it starts at 914 feet with atlantic and gets 910 feet deeper with each song, with "missing limbs" being in the marianas trench (challenger deep)
i was so nervous you guys weren’t going to like this one lol, this one has been on the top of of my On Repeat playlist on spotify for WEEKS i can’t wait for you to get to Missing Limbs, it’s my favorite song from this album
I just love that dark athmosphere that song creates, and that different Style of music again, its so catchy, i put it on repeat These days. Amazing. I also noticed the hardly surpressed angryness in Vessel's voice here. The way he's hissing out the words and confronting the other with his discontent about things happening. So well done.
im just waitin for them to hear whats left because good lort, love yalls reactions gettin other people’s interpretation of whats goin on. happy sunday yall!
I love this song. Its taunting, its coming through water,and a bad phone line. I feel like this is Sleep not vessel singing. It's snide , spitting "What would you do for me, you cant even remember my name, after all ive done for you?" It feels like sleep is showing their true face. Its like the best soap opera ever!
@@shyfullripped nah that’s called talent bro many people can’t do that please continue don’t give up the things you love to do you gain a new subscriber ❤️
This is such a great song! I usually have Distraction and Descending on repeat. “I’m a sucker for industrial music“, now imagine Vessel and Trent making an industrial album.
This was the song on this album that really grabbed me by the ears on my first listen through. The part where he realizes this diety that has invaded every part of his life doesn't even remember his name is a fucking punch to the gut.
OMG, just found this song recently, and as with all new songs I discover of Sleep Token, I’m listening to it nonstop. Man, I can’t believe just how many songs on all 3 albums where I’m just like “this song is so good, no THIS song is so good.” EVERY new song I hear I just love and that’s rare for an artist, for me at least. Allot of their songs remind me of either movie or game soundtracks. Would love to see a gritty movie featuring a song like this one where they take certain elements of this song and use it for all the different scenes in the movie. Songs like Atlantic, or Ascensionism, even The Offering, Nazareth, very movie-ish in feeling during somber moments, or even crazy moments. I don’t know if I’m describing that in a way that makes sense but overall they’re just very “otherworldly.” If you’re the dissociative type, Sleep Token is your band. Full on ear orgasm on each song.
To be honest Distraction and Descending are my two favorite songs behind High Water on the album. Which is weird. I think it's an opinion outside the norm. Most point to Alkaline, Hypnosis, and Telomeres. Something about this song is so haunting that it hits me deep. And makes me tear up. Idk why. I think it's a mix of lyrics, the effects used on his voice, the very very unique synth behind it. Idk but it pulls me down. Like I'm descending, but being pulled down at the same time.
The reminders at the end of each video get me every time. Please never stop. XD The first time I heard this song, I got the craziest goosebumps. It's just so WEIRD, in ALL the best ways. And that chorus is crushing. Love it.
I feel like when vessel sings the amount of emotion he puts into every lyric breaths life into it. The way he sings each line evokes an emotion that is so similar to a visceral emotion I’ve had to a pivotal moment in my life hits me in my chest so hard. Makes his songs so addictive for me
There are so many Sleep Token songs I wish I could forget so I could hear it again for the first time. It's so awesome to see your reactions. Can't wait for Telomeres, favorite song on the album.
This particular song is the one I can relate to personal feelings probably the most of all. Unfortunately, not every relationship survive though the time. And it became look like something weird at that point when all 'talk is cheap' etc. Damn... understanding what he's talking about makes me sobbing almost every time while remembering some good and bad memories... Also, thanks for reaction to this one of the most underrated and experimental pieces of ST music.
After Tomb you guys have to do their from the room below live songs. Some are never included on albums, Vessel did a few like Alkaline, fall for me, and I believe their cover of Hallelujah will bring you to tears.
The rest of the album is a ride for sure. Telomeres feels a lot lighter , kind of a 2000’s era vibe to me with modern touches then it gets dark with high water and ends just plain sad with missing limbs. It’s just 😮💨
Kyle without hair looks a lot like Kyle with hair, only without hair.
Definitely their most underrated song IMO!! My face melted as soon as I heard the chorus
Agreed!!!
Immediate chills
That bass line!!
Agreed, I love it SO MUCH
100%
The first time I heard this song, it felt like someone took a scrub daddy to my brain and I’ve never had more clarity 😂
A Sleep Token reaction by RYKER ROAD 1st thing in the morning....YES I'LL TAKE IT. LOVE YALL BOTH KYLE & ERIC!!!!!
Good Morning, Leslie! 🤗☕️

My friend just threw this little nugget at me yesterday. Wasn't something I'd fully considered. 🤯
even if this theory isn’t correct, we ALL know the next sleep token album will be fire ❤️🔥
This is one of the few songs Vessel doesn’t sound infatuated with Sleep. He is really good at conveying emotion on his tone and it shows on this song.
I think because this is Sleep threatening Vessel. IMO
oooooh would be like to elaborate? I love theorizing about these types of things but my friends don't care :'( @@arimewillow4278
I think this is meant to be a sort of pre climax of his depression. He's no longer thinking about sleep. He wants to give up and let it all go
omg this song alters my brain! 🥵 Its so nasty, trappy, funky, sexy, Vessel's vocals when he hits those highs..urghh I love it.. chef's kiss 💋🤌🏻🫶🏻
MHM. Like Dark Signs, Granite, Sugar and Descending all of them have that feel😊 so many of their songs are beautiful and sad etc but those 4 in particular just give off such a sexy vibe🤭

High Water is just too good 😭 Also, a call back sound to Jaws! Just slowed down
Same here!!!
Favorite song not on Eden.
YASS
I knew Descending was going to catch you off guard with the industrial trap sound. That chorus just hits home so hard. It so much reminds me of a past relationship...yes you come crawling back to me but I haven't recovered from the last go around with you.

Descending's my favorite song off TPWBYT, with High Water a close second. Can't wait for that one!
The next 3 songs are some of the best in their discography. All 3 are perfect
agreed, it’s probably my favourite three song run on any of their albums
Agreed! Can’t wait for the reactions
You are going to LOVE telomeres. It’s probably my favorite song of theirs. So brilliantly mixed/ constructed. This song/album is super underrated
I am surprised more people have not mentioned this song, super underrated.
Agreed 👍
Telomeres is by far my favourite st song! It's one of a handful of songs that makes me cry. Helped me through a lot.
I cannot wait for them to do Telomeres. I only recently REALLY listened to it and I'm fully and completely obsessed with how beautifully tragic it is. Tears every damn time.
it's so dark and sexy.. their most underrated song

Yes, underrated song! I mentioned before a couple times that I feel like song is sleep and vessel singing together. If you listen to the voices and registers it’s kind of interesting that way. A very push pull relationship. Grab your tissues and buckle up!!
The lyrical depth of this song is wild, and very visceral. Glad to see you guys react to one of my top three

Same for me, High Water is amazing!
Agree!
Glad yall played this one, this has been overshadowed by so many other songs and deserves more love!!!
Eric’s face for most of this is how I react every time I hear a new Sleep Token song. This one blew me away…well…they all blow me away!

Y'all so good at noticing things
Did you notice the little tapping rhythm at the end was reminiscent of the rhythm to Jaws?
So stoked for Telomeres, High Water, Missing Limbs. This album goes out with a bang.

I CAN’T BELIEVE I MISSED THE NOTIFICATION FOR THIS ONE IM SO MAD ITS MY FAVOURITE SONG OFF THIS ALBUM BUT CANNOT WAIT TO SEE THIS REACTION!!
start the morning right is to watch your reaction to Sleep Token
the Sleep token 💀

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS REACTION. My favorite song!
wake up babe, Rykerroad dropped a new Sleep Token reaction
Hell yeah. This song is a VIBE. I know someone says this about every song, because ST doesn’t miss. But the next song Telomeres is one of my absolute favorites. Love these reactions!
this song always hits me in the heart. got me crying and singing 😭😆 so freaking good!!
this band never misses and neither do you guys. I love your genuine appreciation and reactions to this band's music.
Love this one, can't wait for the next one. Telomeres has a special place in my heart
Can’t wait for you guys to hear high water 😭 this whole album is just 🔥
Was waiting for this one. Underrated as hell, glad you guys loved it too!
I cannot wait for the next one… Telomeres is my favorite song from Sleep Token, can’t wait to see what you guys think about it 😁
I have been WAITING for this song reaction. By far one of my favorite Sleep Token songs in general. Its such a good one. As always amazing reaction from you guys. Can't wait for the EPs
I was waiting for this one! A lot of people don't seem to like this one because it is so different, but this was one of the first handful of ST songs I heard and I loved it immediately! So glad you guys also enjoyed it
I love your reactions to Sleep Token almost as much as I love Eric cracking Kyle up at the end with the ridiculous stuff he says.
when this album was being released the band had asigned each song an ocean depth/coordinates that descended (haha) the farther into the album the song was located. it starts at 914 feet with atlantic and gets 910 feet deeper with each song, with "missing limbs" being in the marianas trench (challenger deep)
i was so nervous you guys weren’t going to like this one lol, this one has been on the top of of my On Repeat playlist on spotify for WEEKS
i can’t wait for you to get to Missing Limbs, it’s my favorite song from this album
🤘🏼
Worship
I just love that dark athmosphere that song creates, and that different Style of music again, its so catchy, i put it on repeat These days. Amazing. I also noticed the hardly surpressed angryness in Vessel's voice here. The way he's hissing out the words and confronting the other with his discontent about things happening. So well done.
I don't know why but whenever he says 'You come crawling back to me', I remember him crawling in the video of Calcutta (from their EP two)
im just waitin for them to hear whats left because good lort, love yalls reactions gettin other people’s interpretation of whats goin on. happy sunday yall!
I love this song. Its taunting, its coming through water,and a bad phone line. I feel like this is Sleep not vessel singing. It's snide , spitting "What would you do for me, you cant even remember my name, after all ive done for you?" It feels like sleep is showing their true face.
Its like the best soap opera ever!
I've felt there are a few songs where "sleep" is singing😊
That beat is so fucking clean, especially in the chorus. I'm so glad to see y'all react to this jam
Can't wait for Telomeres next. I did the solo cover on my channel.
Bro you’re so talented 🔥🔥
@@ISnipeSAI'm not that talented I just memorized and practised it, haha. But thank you bro 🙏
@@shyfullripped nah that’s called talent bro many people can’t do that please continue don’t give up the things you love to do you gain a new subscriber ❤️
TELOMERES COMINGGGGG
I can’t even express how I feel about this song. Vessel gets it all.
Sleep Token is what brought me to you guys. Your personal insights often reveal things I have not noticed before.
Thank you❣🖤🤘
This is the song I've literally been waiting for you guys to react to. It's my favorite song by them! ❤❤
love your guys' reactions so much I may actually cry when you've listened to everything!
This is such a great song! I usually have Distraction and Descending on repeat. “I’m a sucker for industrial music“, now imagine Vessel and Trent making an industrial album.
Hell yeaahhh thank you for doing this reaction! Absolutely love your guys’ sleep token reactions
This was the song on this album that really grabbed me by the ears on my first listen through. The part where he realizes this diety that has invaded every part of his life doesn't even remember his name is a fucking punch to the gut.
Look forward to these every week! Excited for you guys to explore the One EP (my fave) and Two EP as well. You guys always bring a smile to my face :)
The next three are probably the hardest hitting on the record. I can't wait until you guys make it to the EPs and The Way That You Were.
I have been so excited for you to react to this, by far one of my faves!
OMG, just found this song recently, and as with all new songs I discover of Sleep Token, I’m listening to it nonstop. Man, I can’t believe just how many songs on all 3 albums where I’m just like “this song is so good, no THIS song is so good.” EVERY new song I hear I just love and that’s rare for an artist, for me at least.

This song is great. I have no clue why it's not more popular.
Love waking up to another ST reaction video!! Loved the reaction guys and can’t wait to see the rest of the album! 😊
This is definitely one of my favorites. It makes me so happy to watch your reactions
To be honest Distraction and Descending are my two favorite songs behind High Water on the album. Which is weird. I think it's an opinion outside the norm. Most point to Alkaline, Hypnosis, and Telomeres.
Something about this song is so haunting that it hits me deep. And makes me tear up. Idk why. I think it's a mix of lyrics, the effects used on his voice, the very very unique synth behind it. Idk but it pulls me down. Like I'm descending, but being pulled down at the same time.

The first time I heard this song, I got the craziest goosebumps. It's just so WEIRD, in ALL the best ways. And that chorus is crushing. Love it.
Been waiting for this one, best one on the album!
I wish they’d play this live. Also - the electronic elements of this track always remind me of Daft Punk
This album is amazing to listen to all the way through

I've been waiting for yalls reaction to this song for weeks! great reaction 💕
I feel like when vessel sings the amount of emotion he puts into every lyric breaths life into it. The way he sings each line evokes an emotion that is so similar to a visceral emotion I’ve had to a pivotal moment in my life hits me in my chest so hard. Makes his songs so addictive for me
I’ve been waiting for this!
So glad you guys liked this one!! It's one of my favorites!!
I look forward to all of your sleep token reaction videos they’re the only bad I care about right now. Worship🖤
Awwww, hell yeah. Descending is so good and underappreciated.
I have a production fetish. This is insanely good. And you guys and your facial expressions make it even better. 🔥🖤
There are so many Sleep Token songs I wish I could forget so I could hear it again for the first time. It's so awesome to see your reactions. Can't wait for Telomeres, favorite song on the album.
This particular song is the one I can relate to personal feelings probably the most of all. Unfortunately, not every relationship survive though the time. And it became look like something weird at that point when all 'talk is cheap' etc. Damn... understanding what he's talking about makes me sobbing almost every time while remembering some good and bad memories...
Also, thanks for reaction to this one of the most underrated and experimental pieces of ST music.
After Tomb you guys have to do their from the room below live songs. Some are never included on albums, Vessel did a few like Alkaline, fall for me, and I believe their cover of Hallelujah will bring you to tears.
Y'all make my Sunday mornings magnificent.
I HAVE BEEN WAIIIIIIIIIITING FOR THIS.
Descending and Telomeres are my favorite back to back songs on Tomb, can wait for your reaction next week!
Can't wait for y'alls reaction to Telomeres up next. Such a beautiful love song. I want it played at my wedding... whenever that happens.
The rest of the album is a ride for sure. Telomeres feels a lot lighter , kind of a 2000’s era vibe to me with modern touches then it gets dark with high water and ends just plain sad with missing limbs. It’s just 😮💨
Telomeres is Vessel being like "here ya nerds, have the Deftones influence on full blast"
