I personally wish you would keep going in the chronological order you seem to have started at and just do Sundowning plus the bonus tracks next. Take the journey. I love every single song they have! Trust me, you will be blown away no matter what, I promise.

2024-03-18 05:52:58 +0000 UTCTheir first ep has a hauntingly beautiful sound to it but is very different to what they evolved into. Their albums, especially the latest, are rooted in metal & rock, but bring in R&B, soul, funk, jazz, pop/hip-pop, and electronic elements. They have a bunch of different lanes that they go in and basically made their own genre out of it that’s really hard to describe. I highly recommend you check out the Take Me Back To Eden album! Every song is a fucking masterpiece, and the genre switching & blending is crazy in that album. The Summoning is what blew them up on Tiktok last year. I would recommend Granite, Ascensionism, and Take Me Back To Eden for you since you’re a rap fan.

2024-02-22 02:01:57 +0000 UTCAmazing band, but not a good song. Their newest album is phenomenal, start to finish. Some of their older stuff is decent, but nowhere near the same level. Hopefully you give them another chance, and jump into something from Take me to back to Eden.

2024-02-07 21:11:47 +0000 UTCIdk who said it was “too soon” to hear Sleep Token. They could easily be regarded as a “gateway drug” that gets non-metal people initially hooked on metal. If anything you should’ve listened to them earlier. The same could be said about bands like Bad Omens, Spiritbox, or any of the artists within the “Baddiecore” subgenre.

2024-02-04 22:32:40 +0000 UTCI would LOVE TO SEE you react to Take Me Back To Eden. I joined as soon as I saw you said you reacted to Sleep Token as well, I've waited on you to react to them for the longest time now, damn near ran into a wall when I realized you did..

2024-02-03 10:05:45 +0000 UTCfully agree that this a band that works best when working backwards through the list. The entirety of Take Me Back to Eden is greatness.

2024-02-03 01:50:36 +0000 UTCDefinitely need to react to "The Summoning" on the album Take me back to Eden it was one of the songs that really increased there popularity.
Cody Kummer
2024-02-02 23:25:33 +0000 UTCI pretty much just joined immediately when you said you were doing Sleep Token here. I do not agree it’s too soon? But I do think you almost have to go backwards. Starting with their most recent stuff (where they really blew up) and then sliding back to where they began. I hope you consider doing something from Take Me Back to Eden next. 🖤

2024-02-02 21:03:47 +0000 UTCWe need a "Take me back to Eden" Reaction. this track you listened to doesn't nearly show you the range of the band.

2024-02-02 19:42:35 +0000 UTCThe music is garbage

2024-02-02 16:09:21 +0000 UTCTHANK GOD. HURRY UP AND GET TO TAKE ME BACK TO EDEN.

2024-02-02 02:48:06 +0000 UTCI’m genuinely excited because the composition of this track alone gave a lot!

2024-01-30 17:51:31 +0000 UTCOmg, the title had me scared, I thought you'd absolutely hated them... Yep, definitely not the track I would've started you off on...I hope you'll continue the journey anyway, maybe with some of the suggestions that are in the poll and I've also spammed everywhere 🙏 I've gone through their whole discography and I also like the early stuff, even though many only really know the blow-up album(Take Me Back To Eden is great, but there is so much more) and never bother to go back. They are a band that people struggle to put in a genre box, especially depending on wich songs you decide to show them. "This Place Will Become Your Tomb" that album is a journey, from that intro... no skips just a whole experience... One of those nearly perfect albums that are just so cohesive and great. I also love the instrumental versions of all the albums. Can't wait for more, if you decide to do more, any track off Take Me Back To Eden, I'd expect to do decently on YT, the older stuff would probably honestly not get you any big numbers, if you decide to try them on YT though sadly. Have a good one 😊

2024-01-30 10:23:03 +0000 UTCReally bad band and song for people to nudge you in to this world. This guy needs catchy clean melodies and there are so many prog metal bands that do that a million times better than Sleep Token. Hopefully he keeps trying the waters, prog metal is so drastically much better than this band.
bnut
2024-01-30 10:04:54 +0000 UTCif that was the case they just wouldn't show their faces but like slipknot they realize there is marketability in the masks so it's actually the complete opposite. they are more known because of the mask gimmick than they would be without it so it definitely invalidates that concept.
bnut
2024-01-30 10:02:06 +0000 UTCit's a huge jump from radio dad rock like Tool to prog metal
bnut
2024-01-30 10:00:49 +0000 UTCThere's so much better polyrhythmic bands with FAR FAR smoother and less abrasive and offputting vocals than those bands. Rough vocals with basically no melody like Meshuggah would put this guy off instantly. He needs clean singing like Asking Alexandria or I See Stars.
bnut
2024-01-30 09:59:48 +0000 UTCI think, other Sleep Token songs would strike a stronger chord with you (eg: Chokehold or The Summoning). But, given your rap background Teddy, I think you might really enjoy prog metal with a polyrhythmic base. I have mentioned it in several spots before, but The bands Vola, Meshhuggah, and Gojira are some of my top-shelf favourites. I would love to hear your thoughts on them.
Katlin Curran
2024-01-29 23:22:09 +0000 UTCAwesome to see you react to them. They continue with this sound more or less. If you still want to listen to older Sleep Token, I would recommend Nazareth off their second ep.

2024-01-29 22:38:31 +0000 UTCi dont get the "its too early for sleep token" thing, imo if people felt like you were ready for Tool or BMTH, i really dont see why you wouldnt be ready for Sleep Token.. Their latest work is what made them popular, the early stuff is good but it doesnt even compare tbh.

2024-01-29 21:32:46 +0000 UTClast comment i promise lol, if you liked this song at all, you will definitely love the rest, to be honest a lot of newer fans dont like the old stuff, the OG's will always say this is their best work, but to be honest every song is so different but inherently still sleep token, if you do a whole reaction to sundowning you will be hooked forever, they keep their identities secret because the music matters more than the person, basic lore is, an ancient deity called sleep came to vessel in a dream and the songs you are hearing are somewhat a love letter and message to and from sleep. but in reality all the albums are a journey vessel went through after losing the love of his life, all albums have a distinct feeling to them, and show a journey or hurt / pain / love / anger and acceptance, i really do hope you start to do more and go down the rabbit hole with us :) xXx Worship xXx

2024-01-29 21:23:30 +0000 UTCBro really went for the first song Teddy is different man
Mesha
2024-01-29 21:21:14 +0000 UTCYou pretty much nailed it Teddy. As this is their first song, this is the beginning of the worshipment of an apperition they call sleep. The band is anonymous, and is known as Vessel (singer), 2 (drummer), 3 (bass) and 4 (guitar). Other than that we know they are from London. They very much keep to the metal genre and blending in multiple other genres into their songs, from pop to rap to blues. As you said they are relatively new, but already got such a huge fanbase, and so much to show the world.
Tim
2024-01-29 21:19:41 +0000 UTCi can tell u didnt like it that much, but give them another chance. vessel is great at writing lyrics u need to decipher and II (drummer) is insane and one of the best in the game rn. i'll stop spamming now lol

Claudia
2024-01-29 21:15:32 +0000 UTCsorry about the spam comments, i have been obsessed with them since the start :D

2024-01-29 21:13:09 +0000 UTCthats vessels old mask

2024-01-29 21:12:01 +0000 UTCjaws next!!!
tragicurnspill
2024-01-29 21:08:14 +0000 UTCyour reaction to seeing vessel is killing me lmao. all of the band members wear masks bc only the music is important, not them.
Claudia
2024-01-29 21:07:13 +0000 UTCyou will looooooove the new stuff
tragicurnspill
2024-01-29 21:04:08 +0000 UTCthis song hurts my soul

2024-01-29 21:03:59 +0000 UTCI will beg too
Jim Bowhall
2024-01-29 21:03:00 +0000 UTCIt is never too early for greatness - but nothing compares to Exit to Eden (the album) = not much in the world compares to it actually. Metal or otherwise.
Jim Bowhall
2024-01-29 21:02:43 +0000 UTCtheir sound's changed a lot. i think you'll really enjoy their newer stuff. there's even some rapping.
Claudia
2024-01-29 21:01:57 +0000 UTCI have tried to get into Sleep Token but I just can't. It's just not for me. To each their own. Tbh though this is the 1st song I listened to all the way through just so I could see your reaction.
LINDSEY WARD
2024-01-29 21:01:56 +0000 UTCGah I love sleep token! II the drummer is my current drum obsession. Metal and Kpop - my two worlds LOL 😂💜🖤
louloubumper
2024-01-29 21:01:46 +0000 UTCYou stay on the metal journey with them. After you picked their first uploaded video now you’d better continue with the most viewed one.
Monstanna
2024-01-29 21:00:59 +0000 UTCnot the first song i'd have picked. you absolutely need to listen to their take me back to eden album, pretty much every song is great.. also really good: jaws, the offering, sugar
Claudia
2024-01-29 21:00:25 +0000 UTCInteresting pick for a start
Monstanna
2024-01-29 20:56:15 +0000 UTCWow…. You gotta react to at least one of the songs from their album Take Me Back To Eden or even the whole album cause that is amazing 🔥🔥
Jasmine
2024-01-29 20:50:08 +0000 UTCI’m BEGGING you to do a full album video of Take Me Back To Eden
