the song names in this EP are all named after places of worship- nazareth, jericho, calcutta (an old name for Kolkata). i feel like this EP is really where the band locks in on their yearning and worshipping sound, so the names are very fitting. vessel really did so well making every single word and song title mean something.
Under recognized meaning behind the track names... Calcutta City named for god of destruction and death, Nazareth meaning the place of the branch (or bough), Jericho meaning city of the moon. It's the trilogy
I don't know if you noticed this, but Jericho actually has the same driving synth sample as in Jaws! Their production is top tier! This is definitely up there as one of my favorite Sleep Token songs! Loved the reaction, guys!
@@jasonlafrance2942 I feel like I can hear it in the second verse of Euclid too. I may be reaching, but I feel like it's in there as a base, slowed down with other notes peppered in. I can't find a good enough instrumental to be sure and it's driving me crazy! Around the 1min mark onwards, particularly hits me around the "hope to god you don't know this feeling" line for me. As I say, I could be full of 💩 but it's driving me mad
My hot take: Calcutta, Naz and Jericho are the best 3 consecutive songs in Sleep Token's entire catalog. Lot of other good picks, but this is it for me. Thanks for the ride, boys. Worship
Dine on old encounters, say my name again, you taste like new flesh. He’s remembering when times were good, and now he only gets them in his dreams so he’s trying to stay with that feeling as much as he can. Then he wakes desperately wanting her to call for him again
I would love to watch and experience a full Sleep Token experience with you guys. My first exposure to Sleep Token was The Offering and Sugar, via my partner's music, and I fell for his voice and wondered what else he did. Then I just fell deeper, and deeper...and now I'm in too deep to resurface.
YESSS one of their best songs idc. Was waiting for kyle’s “take me to church” 🤣 Edit: if you listen thru all the albums at once.. POST IT! We’d love the commentary
“You taste like new flesh” can go both ways, sometimes it’s nice to have the experience, then there’s times while having new, it hurts and makes you miss what you had them lyrics always hit me hard
I first heard this song live back in 2018, I was completely blown away, Vessel's voice melted my brain!! At 4:52 I literally ascended right there and then!! It's such a beautiful song and not having it on the setlist anymore is breaking my heart!! Please bring it back, there are new worshippers out there who need to have their ears blessed! ❤️
I'm so disappointed you didn't start off by saying "Let's Jeri-GO!" hahahaha. I loved watching you guys react to this, I've been waiting for this one from the beginning and knew you'd love it. It is still, to this day, one of my favorite Sleep Token songs (I'd say it's my #1 favorite, but let's be real - whenever I listen to this band, I have a favorite, and then another song comes up in the shuffle and then it's like "OH wait, *THIS* is my favorite!" every single time hahahaha. But this one is definitely something special for sure, and never fails to make me feel things.) HOLY CRAP I'd absolutely love for you guys to do a podcast hangout of you just listening to the entire discography from start to finish and vibing. And I'm so freaking stoked to hear you break it all down; you've had some fantastic insights and connections and I can't wait for more. You'll need a big pegboard with red strings lmao, I wanna see it all mapped out even though we all know there are never any answers, just more questions ;) Thank you both for sharing this journey with us. It's been incredible, and almost felt like it gave me back that "first listen" feeling that was so profound with Sleep Token songs. Worship
I feel like listening to the other singles and EP's I can actually hear elements from each and every album. And still to this day this is one of my favorite band to listen to. Worship. ❤
As far as I know youve only got two songs left, and only one of them is a cover "The Way That You Were" is an original, plus the cover of Loathe's "Is It Really You?" Both are ballers and bawlers.
These last few videos have been so bittersweet. I’m so thankful going on this ride with you two. Love your reactions and how genuine they are. I’ll totally be keyed in and hype af for a podcast.
It's so nice to watch y'all, as guys who listened to the new album first, come back and seriously appreciate the beginning. I feel like a lot of new fans don't enjoy the EPs as much as they deserve. Love it.
I’ve been waiting for this one . By far my favorite song from their EPS and one of my favorites of their discography. The Vocal layers, strings, Melody, and beauty during the outro of the song is just breathtaking.
I am going to be a nuisance once again and shamelessly beg for the Drumeo Offerings (hour+ long playthrough/interview + separate 'the summoning' playthrough). It would be such an epic way to end the journey. Until the next music they put out, of course.
I'm so happy to have gone through this journey with you guys and I agree on everything you said about what Sleep Token has done to change and help our lives for the better. A truly unique band, one of a kind. ❤
New All That Remains song called Divine came out 2 days ago. First new song since their lead guitarist passed in 2018. Shortly after guitarist Jason Richardson joined. And as of this year former Shadow of Intent drummer Anthony barone joined. Great song. They are finishing up their new album and will hopefully come out soon
The strange eating / feeding / drinking topics go throu the whole discography. I personally have to connected to an ED. Just because I had one. I could be many things though. The weird thing in this one is for me: years beneath this bed. Why beneath?! This part gives me sleepless nights 😂.
I have absolutely loved following your journey through the Sleep Token discography!!! Watching you lose your minds, seeing the stunned looks on your faces and crying along with you on the emotional rollercoaster has been a pleasure
This is one of my absolute favorite songs. Top 5 fo sure. Currently its my "on repeat" song. Before this was Mine. This song scratches something deep inside of my brain and soul with that raspy voice and break down. It goves me goose bumps. The offset cymbals in the end. The deepness and reverb in the bass drum. Ugh. Perfection.
More questions than answers, isn't it life? Happy to have witnessed this journey with you guys, I didn't think you would react more to them after The Summoning but here we are 🖤
Never seen an artist or band whose discography tells a better story than sleep token. It’s a lot to sort through and open to interpretation. That makes it for everyone and that’s why I think it’s so beloved
The music video for “Jaws” isn’t the music video for Jaws. It’s actually the music video for “Nazareth”. Mute the video for Jaws and press play on Nazareth at the same time and let your mind be blown 😅
I just found a live version Sleep Token did of Hallelujah back in 2022 as part of The Rooms Below....if you haven't yet, you need to see it...Vessel straight up crying while singing yet still being in total control of his voice....amazing.
Thanks guys, as a long time fan of Sleep Token, it's been a wonderful experience seeing all these reactions, and I love the poetry of you guys finishing it off just about where my Sleep Token journey started. Much love, and I can't wait to experience more Sleep Token with y'all
I really hope you guys go through some of their live performances and dig further into the room below set. But even if you don't i've had such an amazing time watching you two go on this journey. Thank you so much for taking us with you.
Ok, so I was busy all day and didn't see this until late, but needless to say I almost broke my remote trying to click on this! I was also screaming at the TH-cam ads for interrupting the video! 😂 So glad to see the reaction to this! I'm so glad that we got to go down this road with you, it has been amazing!! Keep rockin' those reactions guys!! I will be there for them all!! ❤
It was a great journey throughout their records! I got to discover your channel thanks to your reaction to take me back to edén and i've been here ever since. Looking forwsrd to see more of your reactions, you two are great :)
I have absolutely loved this journey with you guys! I'm excited for you to do the singles and that idea you have for a podcast would be amazing! Now that you have gone through all the albums, you should absolutely watch some of the live performances. Start with some from a few years ago, and then up to now. Their growth is such a beautiful journey on its own, and the Teeth of God tour has been absolutely magical so far. Worship!! 🫶💜
Hey Eric and Kyle, my favorite band Starset just released a new single called Brave New World. Would love to see you react to that, and just react to more Starset in general, for the 1000 likes price of course
I’m making bracelets for the show in Pittsburgh, and I start at one and go through the whole discography. Btw it was nice to meet you at the Punk rock Flea market!
I loved this journey with you guys ❤ I discovered Sleep Token via the Hypnosis cover by Will Ramos. And my life has pivoted the same way it did when I discovered Tool. Just fundamentally changed haha As soon as Take Me Back to Eden was released, I sat down and dedicated a time block to listen to the entire Sleep Token discography in order and I recommend it. The absolute catharsis of Euclid is insane after going through the almost 4 hour ride lol Thank you for sharing ❤
been here for the whole sleep token ride! cant wait for is it really you. I know you guys have reacted to a few Imminence songs a year back. I HIGHLY recommend checking out their new album "The Black" shook my world just like sleep token! Would love to see reaction videos of them though! their whole album is un-skippable in my book.
Song is so underrated. So excited for “is it really you?” 🙏🏻
Hope they jump to Loathe then :)
Such a great cover. Love Loathe 🤘🏻🤘🏻
gon cry abt it
I would love them to listen to loathe
@@zachhoagart I don’t think that’s correct. Pretty sure this is sleep token’s baby.

“My hands are not worthy” is PEAK yearning. I love this song so much
The way he hits the note on "enough to make the dead switch graaaaaaaves" just... just beautiful
I want to live in the way that lyric makes me feel.
Under recognized meaning behind the track names... Calcutta City named for god of destruction and death, Nazareth meaning the place of the branch (or bough), Jericho meaning city of the moon.
It's the trilogy
WHAT THE PHUCK EVERYDAY I LEARN SOMETHING NEW ABOUT SLEEP TOKEN
Sleep token live cover of Hallelujah
Holy hell that is crushingly gorgeous.
I don't know if you noticed this, but Jericho actually has the same driving synth sample as in Jaws! Their production is top tier! This is definitely up there as one of my favorite Sleep Token songs! Loved the reaction, guys!
I’m so glad you said that cause I literally just noticed that myself and wondered if I was making it up lol
And the same synth sample as in High Water as well
And used in the piano intro for Blood Sport!
Jericho, Jaws, Bloodsport and Highwater

I am sad this journey is coming to an end for the time being but man, knowing “Is it really you” is coming soon😮💨…worship!
I would love to watch and experience a full Sleep Token experience with you guys.
My first exposure to Sleep Token was The Offering and Sugar, via my partner's music, and I fell for his voice and wondered what else he did. Then I just fell deeper, and deeper...and now I'm in too deep to resurface.
your dedication to dive deep into their songs is so entertaining to watch, most reactors stay on the surface... please continue 🖤

Did you see them with architects?
@@stevieRae04 yeah at the Alexandra Palace, brilliant gig

"The Way That You Were" is an original, plus the cover of Loathe's "Is It Really You?"
Both are ballers and bawlers.
@danhaines "Hallelujah" From the Room Below in Lafayette? I don't think that's been done yet.
also the hallelujah live maybe
Also the Hey Ya cover too
@@sammyboi4373 they did that one already!
@@violacesario4389ooh, that's a good one. Forgot that one as it was only a live performance not a released track.
Oof! Full body chills and a voice like butter on hot toast!
That man’s voice does something to me 😩
It’s so exciting to hear the old stuff and see how he started and how it all evolved
I love the way the outro and bits through the second half of the sound sounds like the driving tone of Jaws
The way that I can’t wait for The Way That You Were 😩
Omg same. That song wrecks me
That keyboard at the beginning was just so soothing😩i could absolutely fall asleep to that
These last few videos have been so bittersweet. I’m so thankful going on this ride with you two. Love your reactions and how genuine they are. I’ll totally be keyed in and hype af for a podcast.
YES PLEASE DO THAT PODCAST
Eric you're great about making lyrical connections. Great watching you groove out Kyle. So excited about the Sleep Token concert tonight!!!
I cant wait to see you react to "The Way That You Were"....that one is a tear jerker for sure
Sleep Token got that midas touch. Everything they do is gold
It's so nice to watch y'all, as guys who listened to the new album first, come back and seriously appreciate the beginning. I feel like a lot of new fans don't enjoy the EPs as much as they deserve. Love it.
this is probably my favorite song ever created, it always makes me cry of pure joy to be able to listen to music like this
This song is one of my absolute favourites, I'm so glad it's finally Jericho's turn!
I'm so happy to be coming along with you guys on this journey
I’ve been waiting for this one . By far my favorite song from their EPS and one of my favorites of their discography. The Vocal layers, strings, Melody, and beauty during the outro of the song is just breathtaking.
Can't wait for "Is It Really You?"!
That song starts so sensual and jazzy. ST could do a whole jazz Album with Songs like that. The drumming here is insane again.
Each album picks up from the previous one. All songs are connected. It’s so refreshing
I am going to be a nuisance once again and shamelessly beg for the Drumeo Offerings (hour+ long playthrough/interview + separate 'the summoning' playthrough). It would be such an epic way to end the journey. Until the next music they put out, of course.
SECOND THIS SO SO HARD!!!!
I'm ok with this
I am soooo excited to see your reaction to “Is It Really You?” I like both Loathe’s version and Vessel’s version, but Vessel’s is just… perfect.
Have you heard the mash-up with Vessel's vocals over the original Loathe track?
I hope The Way That You Were is next! My absolute favourite ❤ love watching your ST journey
I'm so happy to have gone through this journey with you guys and I agree on everything you said about what Sleep Token has done to change and help our lives for the better. A truly unique band, one of a kind. ❤

Excited for Is It Really You?, The Way That You Were, and mayybbeee the Hallelujah live performance??
this is my all time favorite song of theirs
all i got from the whole video "Drakes a bitch" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I can't believe I just watched a man cannibalize the kool aid man while listening to sleep token
Jericho was the song that got me hooked on the band in 2017
I already watched all your vids but now that the album journey is over I want to start back at the beginning again lol
Just saw them live last night. It was sooooo good!
This is the one!!! i could leave this one on repeat all day!
The music video for “Jaws” isn’t the music video for Jaws. It’s actually the music video for “Nazareth”. Mute the video for Jaws and press play on Nazareth at the same time and let your mind be blown 😅
This
They're playing tonight in my neck of woods, not a sell-out for some reason. I may have to go check them out.
WHAT? Where are you? I thought it was sold out everywhere!
@Nora-di9pw I believe that it is now. The other day when I checked, lawn seats were still available. Dallas show.
Perfect timing 😭😭
0:45 "Go ahead and break the walls"
I just found a live version Sleep Token did of Hallelujah back in 2022 as part of The Rooms Below....if you haven't yet, you need to see it...Vessel straight up crying while singing yet still being in total control of his voice....amazing.
😂 look up the meanings and history from the names off of the EP's. When you hook it together it blows your MIND.❤ WORSHIP ❤
so emotional over a.) y’all finally hearing my favorite song and b.) being so close to the end of this journey (but hopefully not forever)
Thanks guys, as a long time fan of Sleep Token, it's been a wonderful experience seeing all these reactions, and I love the poetry of you guys finishing it off just about where my Sleep Token journey started. Much love, and I can't wait to experience more Sleep Token with y'all
I'm so hyped this is one of those ones that I didn't listen to a lot then fell in love with later on in life when I needed it most
I really hope you guys go through some of their live performances and dig further into the room below set. But even if you don't i've had such an amazing time watching you two go on this journey. Thank you so much for taking us with you.
I'm beyond ready for you guys to hear the "is it really you cover". Damn , it's just beautiful
Knowing Is It Really You is coming soon has me so stoked. One of my favourite ST tracks 👌🏼 thank you for this journey guys!
The song I've been waiting for 🙌🏻
Love the connection to "Jaws" 😍
Ok, so I was busy all day and didn't see this until late, but needless to say I almost broke my remote trying to click on this!

Loving your lyric breakdowns and connections to other songs
Vessel's high notes on this just wow 😍❤
'two' is probably my fav sleep token album Nazareth being my fav song
Great reaction and analysis as always! I'm so excited to see them live tomorrow! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Hey Eric and Kyle, my favorite band Starset just released a new single called Brave New World. Would love to see you react to that, and just react to more Starset in general, for the 1000 likes price of course

Btw it was nice to meet you at the Punk rock Flea market!
The Two ep is flawless 🖤🖤🖤 I would die to hear it live!
I still stand by Vessels older sound reminding me of Daniel Johns of Silverchair.
THANK YOU! ✌️🫶🫂💐
Thank God! I needed this right now
Would love to see you guys react to without a whisper by Invent Animate with the lyrics. Such an amazing song
Great reaction as always guys! Can't wait for the next one 💯🔥❤️🖤
Eric’s outro was GOLD 🤣🤣
You two are great. Separately, I appreciate the level of appreciation you guys have for Sleep Token. Thank you
FINALLY! This song has me in one hell of a chokehold
I loved this journey with you guys ❤ I discovered Sleep Token via the Hypnosis cover by Will Ramos. And my life has pivoted the same way it did when I discovered Tool.

I did the whole catalog in order also, and it was damn near trance inducing 😂
Y’all gotta go to a ritual, you will love their songs LIVE
been here for the whole sleep token ride! cant wait for is it really you. I know you guys have reacted to a few Imminence songs a year back. I HIGHLY recommend checking out their new album "The Black" shook my world just like sleep token! Would love to see reaction videos of them though! their whole album is un-skippable in my book.
You guys got me into sleep token. Thank you for another one.
Honestly the way they keep a basic melody and build on it throughout the song only to finish with the basics is completely unparalleled.
Also, I’m not ready for this journey to be over 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Seeing Sleep Token live tonight!
I would love to see you listen to all the albums now! It's a vibe!
Thankyou guys!
Much love from Sudbury Ontario Canada
cant wait for "The Way That You Were" and " Is It Really You".
