This whole album is brilliant. The dynamics are off the charts. I can't think of anyone else that continuously pushes their boundaries the way Sleep Token does. Gentle reminder to give Nightlife - New Low a listen so I can stop typing this. Love the channel, my dude. ✌️🤘
Last time I heard something this good was When Deftones released White Pony and Around the Fur. Also, when Fightstar destroyed me with Behind the Devil's Back. This album is phenomenal!
I believe it reminded you of Deftones, like Around the fur. Definitely some inspiration there in the vocals. This album in a whole ist just crazy. My album of the year since no album did break me so hard
Aaaarrgh this track does things to me. Such sharp and groovy drums patterns, the breathiness of the vocals, eerie atmosphere and melodies and a stink face breakdown. And layers. Y E S
All of the top comments are from 2+ years ago. I can't believe no-one else has checked back to their lore prior to the newest album. Its a masterpiece of musical story-telling. Also, properly incredible vocals from vessel. It blows my mind that more people aren't reaching back into their older albums after their discoveries.
I thought I was going to listen to The Spirit box album a lot but this album I have listened to a lot more the is alkaline still my favorite track but dude Atlanta is amazing
I wonder if the 90s vibe it reminds you of is Alice in Chains - those complex rhythm patterns, washy guitars and vocals drenched in, well, heroin. To me they're like a 21st century AIC.
The dynamics within the songs are awesome but are all over the place when it comes to the album's overall flow I feel like. Still an interesting album nonetheless!
Personally, I could have done with less vocalizing. It just sounds like the lyricist was too lazy to write better lyrics. Some of the new tracks aren't quite so obvious, but with the recessed amount of guitar and the increased amount of vocalizing, I'm having a much harder time getting into this album. It's not bad, was just hoping for a bit more. And that's tempering my expectations after the last single.
@@KenoxProductions exactly the word for it, 100%. And while some bands can be very self-indulgent, I just don't think that that's been the case with Sleep Token in the past.
Musics always spot on but vessels voice is always doing the same drawn out vocal rolls and stuff i know thats his thing and hes great at it but its becoming a bit over done imo
I just don’t think I can support this band, they’re so good, but what the hell is this deity they worship called Sleep, it sound like some sort of cult, they say their music is meant to support Sleep’s message, and their shows are worship, worship of what?!
I was beginning to feel like I was the only one that doesn’t go crazy for them. They have some bangers but the whole “worship” thing rubs me the wrong way
@@lukeherndon I get what you're saying, I don't love sleep token as much as everyone else but I have to admit the ending of high water is the best thing I have personally heard all year.
@@Nowan2015 There are songs of theirs that I LOVE (Jaws, The Offering), but I think their minimalist approach to instrumentation gets boring if there aren’t “wow” parts of songs. And because I feel meh about a lot of songs, the cult stuff kinda turns me off
@@HeavyReign12 Exactly!! Sleep Token is at their best when they have those bellowing guitars going and letting the drummer do their thing. The drummer is simply popping off in that High Water outro you referenced. A lot of their songs get lost in the shuffle to me because it’s the vocalist singing over ambience for 3 minutes. I will say the Sleep Token songs I like I LOVE
What's your personal fav track off the new album?
High Water. No contest.
For now tie between Atlantic and Telomeres
High Water for sure.
It's between like that and Atlantic for me
Telomeres and High Water, but damn every song is so good🖤
This record is absolutely drenched in atmosphere
Are you saying that in a good or a bad way?
I’m drenched after listening to this
Love the new Sleep Token album. Not pandering to metalcore fanboys and throwing in breakdowns for the sake of breakdowns. It’s, like, REAL music!
Why would they pander the metalcore scene when they aren't metalcore, lol?
@@ABRAsylum I mean, they totally aren't metalcore, but for some reason a shit ton of people think they are, so they expect them to be. It's weird.
They're actually barely metal, even. They're some kind of a pop post metal with loads of alternative rock and neo folk influences.
That Drummer is incredible!
This whole album is brilliant. The dynamics are off the charts. I can't think of anyone else that continuously pushes their boundaries the way Sleep Token does.
Gentle reminder to give Nightlife - New Low a listen so I can stop typing this. Love the channel, my dude. ✌️🤘
Bruh I just looked up New Low and it’s such a great song! Spread the word, fam!
@@Jalanko13 my pleasure! It's such a jam. I have made it my mission to get Birb dancing in his seat to this one. More ppl need to hear these guys.
Opening riff reminds me of old Breaking Benjamin
Now I hear "So Cold" vibes, thanks for making this song 1000x better in retrospect.
@@samuelfavata7583 glad someone else hears it lol and you’re welcome my friend👏🏽
How the hell did I not make that connection.
I don’t even know you but I love you now. Thank you.
Listened to this album with my sister and grandma. Can confirm that this song slaps
With Grandma😂🧓lol
I'm jealous of how cool your relatives are
Last time I heard something this good was When Deftones released White Pony and Around the Fur. Also, when Fightstar destroyed me with Behind the Devil's Back. This album is phenomenal!
i totally see what you mean about the "90s or early 2000s feel". his vocals almost give off a chris cornell vibe on this track
I thought the same exact thing
This sounds like something that would be in an Underworld soundtrack
I believe it reminded you of Deftones, like Around the fur. Definitely some inspiration there in the vocals. This album in a whole ist just crazy. My album of the year since no album did break me so hard
I was thinking Beauty School or Minerva as well.
@@missinbrain ah I meant the album as a whole, Not a Song :D
I loved how INSTANT the Vildhjarta reference was!! I did the exact same thing.
I KNEW there was a reason I loved High Water so much THALL TOKEN
This whole album is a masterpiece, one of my favorites this year
Aaaarrgh this track does things to me. Such sharp and groovy drums patterns, the breathiness of the vocals, eerie atmosphere and melodies and a stink face breakdown. And layers. Y E S
His vocal range on this especially at the beginning where he emphasises certain words just takes my breath away every time, it's so goddam gorgeous
Oh good choice of song for this video.
Facts
Vessel is unmatched 🔥
reminds me of Leprous a little
Same! It sounds like part of it (mostly the middle part) is from Malina or another one of their older albums.
@@samrparker1224 yes!
I get Katatonia vibes, honestly.
@Metalbirb This song has a deftones vibe to it. The entire album is a vibe though.
Check out FIT FOR AN AUTOPSY- Far From Heaven
that breakdown said "fuck it, we goin full mushuggah in dis bish"

I mean they are though. It's just not through CZcams or reactions.
Boom smack guitar right in your face at the beginning! Lol🤘worship.
I thought I was going to listen to The Spirit box album a lot but this album I have listened to a lot more the is alkaline still my favorite track but dude Atlanta is amazing
Dude the one two punch of this and atlantic to start an album tho?? wtf even is this?? 😂😂
You should react to sevendust their death and harmony at the same time
Atlantic probably my favorite
I wonder if the 90s vibe it reminds you of is Alice in Chains - those complex rhythm patterns, washy guitars and vocals drenched in, well, heroin. To me they're like a 21st century AIC.
Vocals kinda reminded me of Charlie Simpson from Fightstar
I was thinking the same thing!
If you like Fightstar check out Eightfourseven, specifically the lossless album
The dynamics within the songs are awesome but are all over the place when it comes to the album's overall flow I feel like.
Still an interesting album nonetheless!
That's by design. Think of abstract art.
His vocals sound a bit Jeff Buckley-esque on this track
Totally agree got Grace vibes.
what play style of drums is this? Jazz?
In this song is awesome , it has a Chris cornall vibe
Sounds so much like deftones. Digging it
It reminds me of the offering u mean 😏
A friend of mine referred to Sleep Token as being a Djent Jeff Buckley.
Djeff Buckley... wasn't event mad.
aoty 2021 by MILES.
Wouldn’t say miles personally since The Greatest Mistake Of My Life came out this year but this is also my AOTY 2021 simply because its so refreshing
@@SeelsOfElation youre right tons of other great music from this year im just an enormous sleep token simp hehe
Yes, I do think this could be album of the year ;)
Rivers of Nihil, The Work 🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶
Ah, I thought is song Hypnosis from band Tardigrade inferno
Love love this album
Check out the new Fit For An Autopsy track, "Far From Heaven"
Please react to the new Fit For An Autopsy track
Far from heaven!!
Singer reminds me heavily of Snow Patrol.
You're probably thinking he sounds like Bon Iver. Or Hozier. Or honestly anyone from that genre.
vocalist sounds like chris cornell a bit
Leprous vibes
It sounds like HIM, bro, that's what you're looking for.
Remind me david bowie
Personally, I could have done with less vocalizing.
It just sounds like the lyricist was too lazy to write better lyrics.
Some of the new tracks aren't quite so obvious, but with the recessed amount of guitar and the increased amount of vocalizing, I'm having a much harder time getting into this album.
It's not bad, was just hoping for a bit more. And that's tempering my expectations after the last single.
I agree with the vocalizing. It can sound a bit self-indulgent to me.
100% agree
@@KenoxProductions exactly the word for it, 100%.
And while some bands can be very self-indulgent, I just don't think that that's been the case with Sleep Token in the past.
Musics always spot on but vessels voice is always doing the same drawn out vocal rolls and stuff i know thats his thing and hes great at it but its becoming a bit over done imo
I just don’t think I can support this band, they’re so good, but what the hell is this deity they worship called Sleep, it sound like some sort of cult, they say their music is meant to support Sleep’s message, and their shows are worship, worship of what?!
This album honestly bored the shit out of me
I was beginning to feel like I was the only one that doesn’t go crazy for them. They have some bangers but the whole “worship” thing rubs me the wrong way
@@lukeherndon what does that have to do with music tho
lol
@@lukeherndon I get what you're saying, I don't love sleep token as much as everyone else but I have to admit the ending of high water is the best thing I have personally heard all year.
