Its almost like getting to feel yourself hearing it the first time again and It gives me so much joy

Right I love that moment when you realize sleep token has u addicted and feeling something way more powerful than anyone thought possible I luv them sooooo much more each day can’t wait to see them!!

@@BigManRandom It truly was a magical thing to experience sleep token for the first time and especially TMBTE. I first heard their song The Summoning while high out of my mind. Had my Discover Weekly from Spotify on shuffle and it suddenly came on and it literally felt like the song took me through a whole journey. I'd give anything to experience that again.

Same ❤

It's difficult to convey to people that we're NOT EXAGGERATING. I haven't found a band I connected with so strongly with AND thoroughly enjoyed almost every one of their songs almost immediately, since discovering Muse almost 20 years ago. And even against that comparison, I latched onto Sleep Token in only days, and now many weeks they're played every day and SO many of their songs are now in my top 10 favourite all time songs.

You should check out Zeal & Ardor as well as Highly Suspect. Z&A is Blues & Gospel mixed with Black Metal. Highly Suspect is more of a modern sound with Blues, R&B, and Hip-Hop mixed with Alternative/Hard Rock style. Both are incredible.

Agreed!

They are the absolute best and for some ppl it takes them a few listens maybe for months just know it will happen eventually sleep tokin will wake you up shake your soul and sleep token will have u discovering a new deeper connection with the universe thanks sleep token love you guys

So true. These guys are so different. Only band I can compare them to but doesn’t sound anything like them is Dance Gavin Dance. Similar situation of blending genres but two totally different worlds.

It's the brothers that react to shit! 😮❤

Hey I watch you guys too!❤

Ohhh shiii

Crossover?😂

SAME

Absolutely 100% agree with your assessment but I think it also has a double meaning. If I may. Iv just gotten into sleep token. By double meaning is I think your right about Sleep and Vessel kinda dueling here. But I think it's also about a relationship with a real person not just The deity Sleep. The lyric "one eye on the door the other on the rail. Follow the scarlet trail and the last few drops from the holy grail." As well as the mention of "pink nails" I think this person makes him want to run away or end it all but she uses self harm to manipulate vessel into staying and he gets sucked back in. Again just my thoughts. Great explanation again on your part.

⁠@@infestedpotatoesthank you much! It wouldnt surprise me one bit if sleep is a representation of a partner he had in real life. If thats the case it would seem that the person who he describes now as sleep had to have had a complete God complex as a master manipulator. Cant imagine how brutal a relationship like that would be.

I totally agree

Honestly I feel like he just needs to listen to the entire discography

i tried their 1st 2 albums/EPs and off all those songs i liked 1 song When The Bough Breaks. The others were not good to my ears, but this album seems very good to me.

Alright I'm all for praising Vessel but that's nothing new. Many bands have the vocalist that are also the person who writes all the music and plays most of the instruments. Johnny from Bilmuri, Caleb from Beartooth, Buster from Vildhjarta/Thrown, Ronnie from Falling In Reverse, Noah from Bad Omens, Landon from The Plot In You etc. That's just naming a few off the top of my head.. It's not being a "musical genius", they're just musically well rounded.

@shona5512 vessel is 1000x better than anyone you just listed though, that's what's impressive

@@SpicyTortilla69 Typical Sleep Token fanboy spotted. He's definitely not a better Vocalist than Noah Sebastian. And he's sure as shit not a better instrumentalist than Landon Tewers or Buster Oldeholm. He has his strong points, that maybe peak above others that I've listed in certain areas, and is possibly more creative with genre blending than a number of those artists.. But there are definitely better all round musicians than him. But hey, there's no point in trying to tell you that. Sleep Token fanboys simply can't be argued with if you're not telling them that Vessel is God's gift.

@shona5512 Noah uses an insane amount of effects on his voice live and in studio so he's nowhere near, and Landon is certainly good but not nearly as impactful of a writer overall.. sorry you can't handle people having a favorite different than yours.. also you put Ronnie in your initial response so opinion is already discarded anyway

@@SpicyTortilla69 Oof, it takes a certain level of denial to make up shit about Noah using effects when singing live.. LOL! The only time they've ever used any effects, is purely stylistic, just like Vessel singing Ascensionism. I've seen him Live x4 times with zero effects and he put on a much better vocal performance than the x2 times I've seen ST live. Vessel can maybe edge Noah on the clean vocals, but Noah absolutely upstages Vessel when it comes to screams, which is enough to make him a better all round vocalist because he just has more range. How do you mean Landon's writing isn't impactful? He's suffered a lifetime of abuse and trauma, and it shows through his music as many of his songs are either utterly heartbreaking or absolutely pissed with raw anger. As far as Ronnie goes, I can't stand the guy. I hate him, I hate what he stands for and ultimately I hate his fans.. I put them in the same boat as Sleep Token fans who can do nothing but act like the front man is such a visionary and no one is as good as him. That being said, I can't deny that he's an extremely creative individual when it comes to blending genres (even though I might not like his songs) and is immensely talented. I can handle people having different favourites. The world would be a boring place if we all liked the same thing. Take Me Back To Eden is probably one of the best albums of the year.. The only thing I hate, is fans who go overboard with praise, acting like their favourite band can do no wrong, or how the lead singer is a visionary and a genius.. As much as I loved TMBTE, I probably enjoyed Heavener by Invent Animate, Superbloom by Silent Planet or The Death We Seek by Currents, more.. But I'm not here saying OMG THEY ARE THE BEST OF ALL TIME, NO ONE CAN TOP THEM!! Because it's simply untrue. It's total teenage fangirl energy and it's cringey. People just need to learn to dish out praise more realistically, rather than acting like their favourite artist is vastly superior to everyone else just because they said so.

I love when people post things like this 🥹

Yes, as someone who has been listening to music seriously for a long time (I’m 50), the details in this album are impeccably done. It’s an art piece for sure.

i know this comment is a few months old but i REALLY wanna clarify that the women are not called the vesselettes, and actually have been said to not like that name as it minimizes their identity and efforts. they're called the espera. not trying to be mean, just wanted to clarify!

@@deamonsead I wrote this comment when I was unaware of who the espera are and just saw others referring to them as ‘vesselettes’. Thank you for the polite correction though ☺️

@@moriahm61331 yw! lots of people only know them by the vesselettes so i just like to let people know just in case. thank you for your understanding!

@@deamonsead thank YOU for not attacking me! Many people would not be as nice as you are.

What?

Thanks for the sub!

Gotta start with the first EP’s and singles though before getting to Sundowning. You can obviously skip their Billie Eilish cover lmao
