Some are critiquing this song for being overly simplitstic and formulaic. Personally, I want exactly that from some songs. Its catchy, grovy and memorable. Thats all it needs
Currently my favorite track off the album. It’s clean and predictable but in the best way possible. Sometimes less is more and this track progressed in a way that gave me exactly what I wanted. Beautifully written and performed.
Same for Rain! Both were kinda overlooked with how crazy pretty much every other track on the album is, but these two are absolute BANGERS and catchy as fuck!
The pain in his voice when he sings “why are you never real?” And “just let me go or take me with you” haunt me and make me put this song on repeat often. It’s just so good, feel it in my soul
I'm in love with the dark euphoria of this track The dark synth ..the hip hop vibe ..the gut punch rock that comes in It's such a delicious melding /blend My favorite track off the whole damn album
Thanks for the awesome reaction! That line “just let me go, or take me with you” damn near breaks me down every time I hear it. I love this song, it’s definitely one of my top 3 off of this album. 🖤
I agree 110 % this is so beautiful and haunting. It's like he's trying to let a memory go but it won't let him do he's begging to either let go or take me with you. Then on rain it's like something or someone else finally got his attention and at that point he's finally letting go of what he's been chasing and grieving for all this time. At least that is what I get from those songs
@@MartinLT74 for me...this is just my opinion, but Thriller from M. Jackson...and Purple Rian. Probably Purple Rain being the number one. Im not taking anything away from any other artist as there are thousands of great albums out there.
I love so many things about Sleep Token and one thing is their influence from Depeche Mode. You can clearly hear it in the synth melodies and synth patches used. Also in some chord progression and transitions. This is by far the best album I´ve heard in many years. Truly stunning
Maybe that’s why I love them so much, Depeche Mode has been my favorite band since I was little. I’m so happy I found sleep token, it has taken over me and I’m in love
One of my faves from the album. Gives me High Water vibes. The way it starts out simple then that weird trap like beat comes in followed by the big epic ambient guitar section. Perfection.
This song is my FAVOURITE on the album, like it is the STANDOUT for me. Like I LOVE Ascensionism and Take Me Back To Eden and Euclid, but this song and Rain are the ones I HAVE to listen to repeatedly every time they come on. The cadence in the beginning and the chorus reminds me of like... Spanish music if that makes sense? Idk, like I could imagine this song with Spanish lyrics. Someone called this song Alkaline 2.0 (in a positive way) and I gotta agree, except its actually Long Enough for me lmao this song keeps getting slept on by most of the reactors I've seen and I'm starting to think they're just using bad headphones and not actually HEARING the song bc I know the first time I listened I couldnt use my good earbuds and I feel like when I was able to use my good earbuds, it elavated my experience of the song even more
I love this one too probably my fave well it will probably go back and forth between them all at some point but right now it's the one that's hitting just right. It's dark and kinda sexy and I just love his voice in this one and the music is just so dramatic and sounds haunting and epic.
YES!!!!! It's wicked good. Honestly, the best part of this album is having your mind, body, and whole ass soul blown by the new tracks only to then remember all of the singles that are in this album that we'd already heard that already blew our minds, bodies, and dark souls and then you just... friggan ascend. And the way this album ends and calls back to their first, completing the cycle... just... wow
Ever their choir played an amazing role in the backing vocals as well and they really hit it, drumming, keyboards and guitar work... mix and productions in general... hard not to Worship
Not many songs writhe their way into your soul, but Sleep Token hit so hard with so many tracks, I feel shivers in every nerve when I listen to apparition.
I love that the “stank-face” - when experiencing rich sounds that just hit different - is universal amongst music-loving humans, no matter the genre ❤❤❤
I adore this band, they are phenomenal, everything they put out is with soul, conviction, feeling, honesty & they take you in a journey, masterpieces ❤
Your interpretation was on point. Love it when people come together to appreciate good music. Looking forward to more of your reaction videos on this band. They are 🔥
Yeah Rapper Vessel is ALIVE in the latter half of the album! Since the album release I constantly go back and forth between this and Ascensionism being my favorite. When the synths come out to play, you know its about to go down! I definitely agree with you about the mixing and layers on this album. That’s a element thats always been great with ST but its just phenomenal on this album!
This should actually be my favourite for the electronic emphasis, considering that’s my main go to in music, but it strangely isn’t? I’m still full on TMBTE on repeat. 😊
what's the solution to a song that only plays the chorus once? repeat 4ever! nice breakdown and analysis, the vocals falling back in the second half kind of signal to me that "ok I let out that big release, now we're just gonna vibe & fade out from here"
I’ve shown this song to people who would never listen to anything like it, one said, I don’t like this, it’s so despairing, and I said so you feel it? They said well yeah, it’s powerful.
Stream my new song here: open.spotify.com/album/1DCvNVTl4rcInAEDMhH9Eh?si=i4Qmwqk1R9Wr7ZPCnukGuA
Not enough people are talking about this song. Probably ny favorite off the record
This one, Rain, and TMBTE are my top 3.
This, Vore, Rain, and Ascensionism are easily my favorites
@@CrzyWzrd4Lbro definitely has the best taste vore is so underrated
Didn't know it was possible to pick a favorite. Its too hard for me. lol
Some are critiquing this song for being overly simplitstic and formulaic. Personally, I want exactly that from some songs. Its catchy, grovy and memorable. Thats all it needs
Variety is a must on any album so I think this a great fit plus there is quite a bit of depth to it upon multiple listens 🔥🤘
Exactly, this one and Rain are EXTREMELY catchy... I catch myself humming the melodies all the time.
"WHY ARE YOU NEEEEVER REEAAL!" Is all I need to love this song
It's not the most complicated song but the lyrics and delivery are haunting. Not everything needs to be Dream Theater levels of convoluted.
@@hamon_master1390can comfirm!
Currently my favorite track off the album. It’s clean and predictable but in the best way possible. Sometimes less is more and this track progressed in a way that gave me exactly what I wanted. Beautifully written and performed.
This is one of the most radio friendly bangers they have and I love it
I’ve been bouncing between this one and Ascensionism
Same for Rain! Both were kinda overlooked with how crazy pretty much every other track on the album is, but these two are absolute BANGERS and catchy as fuck!

This is one of the tracks on the album that just gets better with every listen. Such a good song.
This song kicks f*cking ass and fits perfectly in the context of the album
I couldn't agree more with your comment
I'm in love with the dark euphoria of this track
The dark synth ..the hip hop vibe ..the gut punch rock that comes in
It's such a delicious melding /blend
My favorite track off the whole damn album
The vocal melody that comes in at ~3:41 is my musical moment of the year.
Favorite single moment on the album.
Thanks for the awesome reaction! That line “just let me go, or take me with you” damn near breaks me down every time I hear it. I love this song, it’s definitely one of my top 3 off of this album. 🖤
Such a good one! Top 3 for me as well I think 🤘

Totally the third most amazing album i have ever heard in my life, I'm 53 yrs old and i have heard many...
It’s so good! Your opinion holds some weight too 🔥🤘
Just out of curiosity. What are the two you’d rank above it?
@@MartinLT74 for me...this is just my opinion, but Thriller from M. Jackson...and Purple Rian. Probably Purple Rain being the number one. Im not taking anything away from any other artist as there are thousands of great albums out there.
I'm 48 and agree, this album is absolute quality and sits on another level to the literal 100s I've had the pleasure to listen to in my life.
The instruments on this song make it feel huge and epic and i love it so much....
This album gives goosebumps start to finish! Masterpiece!

Yesss. Can’t believe I never caught this but vessels vocals are definitely Dave Gahan influenced. Love both bands.
Hmm gotta check this out
Song recommendations from the comparison
Silence all, my favorite novel started
Ahaha, best comment ever
This album is 11/10. This song is the reason for that.
Amazing song! The synths, the beat, the eletronic element really reminds me of their song Descending from TBWBYT, and I LOVE both songs!!
One of my faves from the album. Gives me High Water vibes. The way it starts out simple then that weird trap like beat comes in followed by the big epic ambient guitar section. Perfection.
High water is a classiccccc! This song slaps 🤘

So good 🔥
Not many songs writhe their way into your soul, but Sleep Token hit so hard with so many tracks, I feel shivers in every nerve when I listen to apparition.
Absolutely! 💯🤘
One thing I don't hear mentioned often is their synth wave influences.
The drummer's precision and energy are off the charts 🤘 I now think you'll love Nick Thurl Mavromatis' new song 🔥 Do a reaction video for it!
I love that the “stank-face” - when experiencing rich sounds that just hit different - is universal amongst music-loving humans, no matter the genre ❤❤❤
Facts! 🤘🔥
I love this song has some really intense lines some of my fave of all time
I adore this band, they are phenomenal, everything they put out is with soul, conviction, feeling, honesty & they take you in a journey, masterpieces ❤

Much appreciated! I’ve done a lot of sleep token reactions they’re amazing 🤘
The way I see sleep token is pretty much a bridge between the world of rock and metal and the world of more mainstream music.
True 🤘
Been digging your reacts man. Subbed. Sleep Token is from another dimension.
Thank you! Yes they’re something special 🙏🤘
One of their best tracks, just incredible.

My favorite... This and Rain
Great reaction as always. But the song is also really amazing ❤️

Just saw your own shop, with cool hoodies and T-shirts, i might have to buy couple later 🔥
Please also do Are You Really OK? and Euclid... really intrigued to see and hear your reaction :)

This song gives me chills every time. They're on another level 🤘 I now think you'll love Nick Thurl Mavromatis' new song 🔥 Do a reaction video for it!
exactly my face when i first heard this 3:01
Love looking out for the stank face 😂
It never lies 😂
@@SeanStaxxMusic 🤣🤣
Id love to hear your thoughts on Vore, probably the heaviest track on the album lol
what's the solution to a song that only plays the chorus once? repeat 4ever! nice breakdown and analysis, the vocals falling back in the second half kind of signal to me that "ok I let out that big release, now we're just gonna vibe & fade out from here"
Anyone hear Ivan Moody when Vessel sings, "Why are you never real?"
Hadn't really thought of that but I love the tone of his voice
Idk is liking AYRO unpopular opinion, but it's definetly the most touching song on record
Worship 3:01
Ngl I don't think it's mentioned often enough how incredible a drummer II is. I don't think I've ever heard flaws from him
I agree, He’s a freak of nature 🔥
You’ll really enjoy Are You Really Ok? 👏
It’s comin 👀
Idk why this song gives me breaking Benjamin vibes.
There are some parts that give off that early 2000s rock vibe ever so slightly!
3:00 - 3:34 has that sound you're talking about!

I’ve shown this song to people who would never listen to anything like it, one said, I don’t like this, it’s so despairing, and I said so you feel it? They said well yeah, it’s powerful.
