I agree! The world will never be the same again after this.

"those bastards" "fuck them" Exactly what I was saying mid tears through so much of this album. I completely do not understand how they can have such genius, to create this ride, they hit all possible emotions to me, and the brilliance of the last song, how can you make such a perfect song to actually feel like a conclusion, a happy feeling, joyous, and then the callback... Emotionally, lyrically, completely unmatched, no band has ever made me feel so many different emotions, so easily, Vessel is one of those very rare people in history that can truly express/explain emotions and find the perfect words to connect with who is listening. And I don't even have to mention the sound, quality of play, the choices, the small touches like using the animal sounds, the ups and downs, raw feeling, yet calculated. I still can't believe this is real.

The final part in Euclid is a reprise of a section of that original song too, which is absolutely wonderful.

Saw them in October, truly incredible experience 😮😭

There are plenty of great reactions to the album out there. Yours was my favorite. For the emotion, for the honesty, for the ability to articulate what this song is doing for you. But my favorite aspect of your reaction is that you have the wherewithal to recognize when a powerful part of a song is beginning and to stop talking and just take it in. So many reactors fumble and talk through moments that really need to be experienced… the one that comes to mind is when in tmbte the lyrics starts…”I guess it goes to show does it not, we have no idea what we’ve got until we lose it”,,, those lines and the few that follow break me every time.

Thanks Andrew, I massively appreciate it. Yeah, it’s a tricky balance. I want to verbalise my inner thoughts and experience but I also don’t want to miss anything. I want as full an experience as I can get. It’s hard but I do my best. Glad to hear it seems to be working in your view ❤️

i’ve been so excited to hear you react 🙏🏻 worship

So please to have been able to share that experience with you Daniel. Thanks for the message and for the sub! ❤️

Just finished your video. Thank you for your input and your ability to let the songs breathe. I stayed through the entirety and really appreciated what you had to say by the end. I had to pause a few times to dry my eyes and collect myself. I cannot express how much I appreciate you content creators for doing these. It brings us closer to the music and helps us to appreciate what we are hearing and experiencing on a very emotional and personal level.

I'm just leaving another comment to help your engagement stats. My partner doesn't get Sleep Token so I showed him your videos to help him understand that this band is literally genius even if he's not vibin. He appreciates the drums at least now!

Heheh you’re very kind. Yeah my wife absolutely dislikes ST, but I showed her Euclid and she said “ok this is actually a very beautiful song”. Quite a concession! Lol.

what i find so interesting about this album is how they designed a monster for each song

Awesome ❣️ I truly enjoyed listening with you

Watching your brain implode during Ascensionism was quality entertainment. Worship ❤

Haha thanks. I did NOT see so much of that coming.

I now have some idea what it is was like to be alive when The Beatles were in their prime but this time Vessel is Lennon and McCartney. I completely agree that TMBTE is a masterpiece, you know that you are going to be listening to something special as you already know how strong the singles are but nothing prepares you for what happens when you get to the new songs and you begin to realise that the songs that they released are not even the best ones on the album. I have listened to TMBTE every day since I got it and have only just started to listen to other music and even then I still need my daily Sleep Token fix, without a doubt my album of the year(hell maybe even decade). As I write this TMBTE has entered the Uk album charts at Number three which is their highest top 40 position yet(TPWBYT reached number 39) and Sleep Token have just won best UK band at the heavy music awards, I’m so happy to see them finally getting the recognition that they deserve and with me being English as well so so proud of them.

Cheers Greg. I am very much not a crier. I did not expect that to hit me the way it did. It was such a relentless barrage of brilliance throughout the album that I was too emotionally weak to keep the dam from bursting in Euclid lol. What a feeling. Heavenly.

Thanks so much for saying so Julie. That’s so wonderful to hear ❤️

So, new fan here, both of sleep token and yourself 😂. You pointed out the background chatter in aqua regia which I’d always heard as just background noise. I went back and listened again and heard dishes clattering and people talking. I’d never heard that before. You’ve helped me listen to music closer which is fuckin awesome. Instant sub. Thank you. As for the music, because of how good the first 5 tracks were (didn’t care for DYWTYLM upon 1st listen, but love it now) I was expecting maybe 2 more bangers and the rest filler tracks. In my honest opinion not only were there no filler tracks, but they left the best songs for last. Holy shit they’re good. I’ll be 41 this year. I’ve never found music that reaches me like this band has. Crazy stuff. Maybe something to the whole mystical/supernatural personas after all! 😂 Worship
