This is the best 6 minute album i've ever heard.

This melted my damn brain, the vocals, chonk and funk, are you kidding me!? It's 3 songs in one and I still want more

If "never let them know your next move" was a band

Sleep Token is so damn good. They know exactly how to create music. You don‘t hear them, you experience them. WORSHIP

This is it fellas. This is the year Sleep Token takes the world over. Spread the word. And most importantly, fucking WORSHIP

I'm speechless 🙊

This song is such a journey. They've taken Tool, 'The Funk' itself from Mighty Boosh and Tesseract and smooshed them all together into one song. Enjoyed Chokehold. Adored this. Thanks for another rad reaction vid!

THANK you for acknowledging the piano work behind the solo. Everyone seems to be glossing over that. Those changes and lines are stunning.

Song of the Year. It's January 6th 😅🫶 New album will be the shit. It's going to be huge. It's recorded and ready to go.

Vessel : Did I mistake you for a sign from God? Me :melts straight into the Earth's core

Incoming essay. You’ve been warned. I have so many thoughts rattling around in my head since hearing this for the first time and I’ve been waiting with baited breath to see your reaction to this. First and foremost, I am a HUGE fan of The Dear Hunter and the way the blend and fuse genres and experiment with all sorts of sounds that shouldn’t work together, but they make it work. I ADORE that band. And the last two Sleep Token tracks here are giving me those exact same goosebumps. They’re writing some of the most progressive music I’ve heard in years. And despite how mental they’re going, it maintains a degree of accessibility that I am astounded by. How can something this rich and dense be so easy to jam to? They’re walking a razor-thin line and miraculously pulling these stunts off. Vessel II is showing ENORMOUS diversity here. During the heavy parts, he sounds like something between a dog fight and heavy-caliber warfare. He’s beating the holy fuck out of that kit like it disrespected his entire family. But then towards the end there, he maintains such a fluidity and control. It’s as though he’s out to prove once and for all that he’s not JUST a crazy gospel-inspired core drummer. Naw, he can do R&B, too. I joked before that I expect this band to eventually do a honky-tonk country western song in the style of Dolly Parton with breakdowns. At this point though, I’m not sure if I’m still joking or not. My favorite thing about them is that I absolutely never know what to expect except that it’s undoubtedly going to be a fun ride. And I’m trying to wrap this up but I am still picking bits of my head up off the floor. But I’d be remiss if we didn’t talk about Vessel’s vocal delivery here. Absolutely unreal. His time around Sam Carter has clearly paid off because WOW those harsh vocals were amazing! It sounded like White Pony-era Chino pig squeals and I had no idea he was capable of that register. This may be my favorite track they’ve ever released. It’s SO dynamic. SO experimental. SO … different! This is strange and unconventional even by Sleep Token standards. They’ve set the bar so damn high. I thought TPWBYT would be a tough one to top, but these past two tracks have stirred me and I am beyond eager to see what the rest of this record sounds like. 5 days into the new year and we’re already looking at a possible AOTY. Incredible. Simply incredible.

I agree with you about 2. This direction hes taking with his drumming is still unique, well written and well played, yet less in your face about it. The ghost notes of Chokehold, and basically the entire song on this one was something new and different yet amazingly well played.

They took us on a crazy ass journey with The Summoning and I was here for ALL of it. I remembering running upstairs to get my headphones when it dropped, just sitting on my floor completely enthralled in the adventure that was blasting through. I made faces, expressions with my hands and noises like it just did crazy stuff to me I can’t explain. Love love love it. ST knows what they are doing!!

2 for 2, so hyped for this album. Could be the best yet.

I live for these reviews😂. It shows all the emotions I felt when listening to this for the first time.

I kinda like the fact that the ST drummer has historically drifted into that "guy at the wrong gig" territory with busy riffs and fills but the guy is just SOOOO good and it feels like it's part of their sound. Whatever musical journeys the band will take, it at least won't be the drummer who can't guide the way :)

You are having all the appropriate reactions to this masterpiece. How do they write stuff this good?

I want a drum video for this song from vessel 2

The two songs I have heard have been so well done. They feel like they could be dropped in to an action movie soundtrack as is. Very atmospheric. That last (Daft Punk visits the studio) part just shows how fast new ideas are clearly flowing for them.

and to think there is a chance we can experience all that again in few years... one can dream...

One of my favorite reaction videos 😂 Pure joy watching you go through the motions of discovering every inch of this song. Speaking of which, the song was totally out of this world! Loved the heaviness AND the funk… Sexy as hell!

Thanks, Steve. I'd never heard of SLEEP TOKEN until I watched your reactions.

The incredible part is it doesn’t matter what genre they apply themselves to, it is always amazing.

I first heard sleep token when they released The Love You Want and while I love that song, I didn't really dive into them too much. These last releases have completely converted me! And now I get to enjoy the ride. Awesome reaction, as always! 😊🤘

"that's a choice" sure is, I love it

I didn't realize this before but the ambient drone kind-of reminds me of Enigma to a degree.

Did I tell you or DID I TELL YOU?!? Another great reaction, Steve!

You went Toe Jam and Earl!!! Complete and total respect!

If you go back to Sundowning on Gods, Vessel works in harsh vocals for the first and last thirds of the song and I've been hoping they would do more of it. Loved both these songs and I'm really looking forward to what comes of these. I'm still amazed at how well they know seemingly every musical genre to just blend them however they see fit.

All in 4/4, lots of playing over the bar though; drummer really loves to displace the snare within different parts of the bar. Lots of dotted quarter note grooves too.

Awesome band. The vocalist, Vessell (🤷🏻‍♂️) has an amazing range.

Song of the year 🤘

This song is a journey, I love it

Got a resale ticket now to see them with Northlane in Bristol next weekend. Can't wait.

Wow that Song is a great one again. So interesting. And great funky part. They manage me to Love the chilled ones and the heavier ones. This one got a great Chorus. My new favorite after Alkaline and the Love you want. Amazing honest reaction Like Always 👍😉

I love the experimental nature of this song! If this song is going on an album I really want to hear the track that follows "The Summoning" just to hear the transition. Also, the first half of this song reminds me so much of "You've seen the butcher" by the Deftones, which is never a bad thing!

@1:50 Enjoy this beautiful bird sound. xD

Fan-fucking_tastic song!! lord have mercy! If i was incapable of showing emotion, i could easyly put your reaction next to my emotionless face and it would sync perfectly how i was feeling when listening to this song with you, made me laugh at same time. Getting back to this song, almost every style type i love they welded it tastefully together in this masterpiece, jzus christ so juicy!! Thx steve , loved that once again!

Something about the guitar tone made me think of Surfing With the Alien.

So glad I came back for another listen...such barely tapped talent.

First listen I wasn't sure, second listen I was in love. Worship

Nobody does it like Sleep Token 🤘

Dude you're so cool. Love your reactions, you make me feel welcome.

The noises you made when you heard the scream really just sum it up perfectly!

For a fairly tightly produced band I do like that they let a few imperfections go through into the final mix.

The whole song is absolutely epic, but Vessel's vocals are totally out of this world. As a singer myself, I could only wish to have his voice.

Love every bit of ever second of every minute ❤️‍🔥🤘

Didn’t think sleep token could get any better but here we are !!

My take on this song, which is easily one of the best they’ve ever done. They’re including so many diverse influences in this one and totally bending it to their own. I hear Deftones in the chorus, Tool in the verses, Messhugah and Vildhjarta in the breakdown, Gunship in the solo and synth work, some Polyphia thrown in with some 90s r&b in the last part (reminds me of Genuine-Pony)

THALL TOKEN 🔥

I love your reactions! I would like if you could react to HOLDING ABSENCE, for me they are the next big band from the UK 🥳

There is an amazing metalcore band I found recently from Czech Republic called Severals. It would be amazing if you checked out their song Incinerate

good luck beating this for a while.... fucking does not let up.

It's actually 4/4, but the riffs are offset in weird ways so it feels like a weird time signature

I used up all my fucks on this song. "Fuck yes!", "Fuuuuuuck", "Fuck!?", "WTF?". Overall, part 1 (of three) was fucking bombastic. The other two were great on their own but I would have loved if they'd gone from part 2 then back into part 1. But then, I'm surely no Vessel.

I think the drumming being a bit more understated on these songs is due to the new producer.

New wave disco punk funk rock.

Lmao “omg wtf”

I think "... and we're done, what the fuck?!" sums up this reaction. Sleep Token never miss and are easily the most exciting band on the planet at the moment, you know what you'll get yet have absolutely no idea what you'll get.

i got pregnant in the last two minutes. i guess this is what 99% of women feel like.

The ending sounded like somebody took a big inspiration from Poliphia.

This is probably their best song ever but honestly, it should have ended after the second breakdown.

I could've done without that last bit.

I loved all of this, but for me it doesn’t work as one track. It feel like a medley or consecutive album tracks. I would have preferred it extended into 2 separate 3-4 minute tracks to keep the mood the same in each.
