Everyone says Missing Limbs is the most emotional song, High Water crushed me, officially the first ST song to make me cry.

@berniebarroso7798 The Noose and Sleep Token's Atlantic hit me like nothing else. There are plenty of other APC and Sleep Token songs that give me the feels, but those two stand out above everything else.
When the drums come in. The drum part actually conveys so much emotion to me. II is so good. The lyrics. Vessel is a genius.
Somehow this is like THE most underrated ST song, it's in my top 3
I love how there are several of Sleep Token's songs that "sound" as if they're a love song, but when you listen to the lyrics you realize that is not what's going on here

Thank you finally, am so over reading that all these songs are love stories about an Ex they are NOT!
Distraction feels devastating, too. “I can tell I'm falling further again..” falling into depression or well for me addiction. Just a horrible feeling. And also towards the end that scream “it's too late for me”....it's just a lot! But something that I can realte to. Sleep Token...”trauma bonding” with each time you listen. Another great reaction.

Trauma bonding is a term I’ve never heard but it’s so accurate.
@barbyA1
5 ай бұрын
Knowing you're falling again and trying to bond with people you shouldn't be having a relationship with just to distract yourself and avoid doing irreversible things... been there, done that. The ability Vessel have to put those experiences into lyrics is something I haven't found anywhere else.
While I don't think these songs are in chronological order, the albums are set up as Sundowning being the toxic relationship and breakup, denial and bargaining, Tomb is the desperation to keep the relationship, denial and depression, and Eden is anger and acceptance. The 5 stages we all bounce between during the process of grieving.
Y’all I’m begging for you to listen to “Is It Really You?” By Sleep Token and Loathe. I cannot WAIT for y’all to listen to this song. Please I’m begging

I hadn't heard this, but I have now. It's up there. Right up there, *right* up there. Aural gorgeousness, aural s*x. And a song that beautiful has no right existing, but I'm so glad it does - onto my play-list it goes. You're a star for suggesting it. @Rykerroad, you absolutely, without a shadow of a doubt NEED to make a reaction video to this track. Please.
Getting a Discord notification about a new Sleep Token reaction is like old times when your favorite TV show was about to start. Do I have something to drink? Where did my snacks go? Better go to the bathroom just in case so I don't get interrupted! I'm sure thats not just me, I just get so excited every time you guys react to them, keep being amazing!

💯 I love waking up to seeing yall have a new a ST reaction. TMBTE is an amazing album but TPWBYT is my favorite album. Pure masterpiece
Wanting & needing someone you cannot have is the worst kind of psychological pain & torture 🥺 THIS is why I connect with the music of Sleep Token 😌 They’re like a balm for my shattered heart & soul 🥲
In a medical sense, to “distract” or create “distraction” is to create distance between two points. An interesting spin on that, since Vessel likes scientific terms
My favorite part of this album is coming. Descending, Telomeres, High Water, and Missing Limbs. Tomb is my favorite album. The theme is woven consistently throughout.

So the theory is that each album in this set corresponds to an element. Eden was Earth - Tomb is Water - Sundowning is Air, and speculation is that the next album is Nothing Lasts Forever and that will be Fire. Don't know how true it is, but interesting to think about.

Ehhh maybe, but I think it's quite a stretch. Plenty of references to water on Sundowning (the visualizer for Drag Me Under particularly) and any reference to earth is pretty much just to Eden on TMBTE. Plus, it's a concept that's been done plenty already (Mastodon and Thrice come to mind immediately) and I can't really see Vessel going for a theme that's been done so frequently.
Atlantic and Ascensionism always make me cry, but this one gets me every time too 😢😢😢 Vessel’s voice is just pure emotion…I will never understand how he can sound SOOOOO amazing while feeling that much! It’s like his voice gets better when he’s upset. Hell, I can hardly talk when I cry! Vessel’s song writing and voice are just unreal Worship 🖤🖤🖤🖤
I can’t recall how many times I’ve listened to this album, but the next 4 songs are all beautifully written and convey so much emotion, so get the tissues ready friends.
I've been waiting so anxiously for y'all to get to this back half of the album, I'm especially excited for y'all to react to Telomeres, High Water and Missing Limbs (ESPECIALLY Missing Limbs). Also it's so interesting how new fans like me and you both consider Tomb as being on par with Take Me Back To Eden when a lot of long-time fans view Take Me Back To Eden as Sleep Token returning to the genius that was Sundowning. It has been my understanding that Tomb was a bit of a divisive album for long-time Sleep Token fans.
I’ve seen a lot of people put this song in a D tier list and it makes me sad. I love this song so much. Grab tissue for the last few songs 😮💨 also, when you listen to decending, pay attention to the voices he uses. I believe Vessel and sleep are singing to each other.
My crying song, gorgeous song.
This song hit me hard when I REALLY listened to it. My wife has PTSD and it made me think back to when she was really suffering and how she would constantly look for distractions so she wouldn’t have to confront her thoughts. This album starts out like a captivating ocean shore drawing you in, and by this point in the album it really does feel like you are being consumed by the water, fighting back hopelessly and ultimately know that the waves will drag you under in due time.
This song genuinely makes me think it's about addiction, whether on Vessel's part or someone he loved. The absolute inability to stop trying. The lack of resolve and feeling of helplessness in this song without it being deliberately spoken. The desperation in this song is just maddening. It feels like a drug in its own right.

Several songs give me that vibe also.
That one part just brought out such emotion. I was so immersed that I started crying and didn't realize it. This is so hauntingly beautiful and sad. But I loved the experience. Music is meant to move and be powerful and Sleep Token nails it. "Living Poetry" is definitely a perfect way to word this. I need to listen to this whole album.
Waiting to see you guys react to Telomeres from this album.
Descending is next and it's one of my favorites off of Tomb, can't wait til the next reaction!
Nice, love this song, cant wait for the next 2. Some of my favourite ones in the album
Ahhh! I’ve been impatiently waiting for the next song!! Love your reactions! 🙂
YIPPEE this is one of my fav songs from this album, its always lovely to hear the way you both talk about the music
I listened to this one a lot during a really hard time. To this day, it’s hard for me to come back to this song.
Can’t wait for High water 🙏🏼
Distraction is such a good song! Definitely one of my favourites, especially at the end with the background voice singing it's too late for me. The feels😭
Well I was at my desk writing in registers when the notification poped... I jumped on my headphones to listen to your reaction. I was kinda worried because I was really impatient to see you react to one of my favorite songs from TPWBYT. Get ready for Descending... can't wait to see you react to the rest of it. I love your videos.
"It's too late for me now, I am altered" is the lyric you are looking for from Alkaline. I noticed the connection too upon listening to this song, plus they are next to each other on the album so it's definitely a reoccurring motive in the lyrics here. One of the most heartbreaking songs on the album for me personally. And I'd say I also prefer TPWBYT over Sundowning, though the latter is still a fantastic album.
Love the Sleep Token reaction videos! Makes me happy knowing we're one song closer to you guys doing their EP's as well! Woot woot!

The next 4 songs are epic! I'm really anticipating you guys reacting to their EP Two. Some of my all time favorites. Loving this journey. Worship. 🤘
The complexity of the emotions he can convey is astonishing. His desperation is one of the most haunting and beautiful thing, especially when he calls out 'it's too late for me.'
The line "I am broken into fractions" just hits me in the gut.
This album connected with my heart the first time I listened to it. I can't wait for you to listen to the next songs, they are truly unreal.
All my fav songs by them are from this album. I heard about them about 8 months ago maybe and I turned on this album to see what the hype was and bumped the album straight through. I didn’t even listen to Eden until like 2 months later because I was just hooked on this. Just started rocking their first album a couple months ago. “Dark signs” is my fav off that one
New Knocked Loose song absolutely slaps. You guys should check it!
the next bit of the album is my favourite soo i’m so happy you’re back into it!! i honestly don’t get how you wait soo long to listen to each individual song
I feel like we are going through stages of grief with each album.
Descending is next and im so excited
I love how you said this album has a certain sound to it. To me personally, with the distortion and layering and echoing it almost feels like you’re underwater for the entirety of this album. Descending is personally one of my favorites along with High Water so I can’t wait for you guys to get to them! Love watching you every week, I’ve loved ST for ages so I’ve been following since you started their discography. Love seeing other people fall in love with them so much because they absolutely deserve it.
I’m be very grateful if y’all could make these reaction videos longer. They’re so good. And I’m flying through them
Imo this song is so underrated, not talked about enough its so good and fucking emotional
I have a feeling yall are gonna really like Descending🥰 Its one of my favorites! I'm so happy you guys are loving this album!!
Did you notice that the chord progression in the bridge was the same instrumental as in the Summoning before the "funk" section toward the end? I just noticed that. Crazy!
Descending, the next track is my kryptonite, my cutting onions, my crawl in a corner and give myself charlie horses..
'Descending' song is up next after this in album. And this song is one of the most experimental and interesting. And in my top 5 from them. Incredible and actually very sad because of the main theme...
this is one of my fav off this album FOR SURE. same for "Fall For Me", always makes me cry
I can only listen to this with bass earbuds, the deep bassy undertones feel so good
Please react to Jericho from his second demo, it is my favorite song, greetings from Argentina
I’ve been waiting for y’all to reach this second half of tpwbyt, distraction and telomeres are two of my favorites. The ending loop of him practically wailing that it’s too late, knowing he’s caught up in it all… sleep token can really do it all.
This song kills me. It’s so good. ALSO GUESS WHAT! THEYRE COMING TO OHIO THIS MAY. I’ll be there!
The next song Descending is one of the sexiest songs on the album. Feels like a James Bond theme.
Please listen to Is it Really You! It is a beautiful cover!!
I love how everyone is so excited for the end of this album. I’m excited for descending because it’s just sick. And telomeres is the prettiest song on the album. Tomb is such a dark album but even in the darkness the lush landscape they create is so enchanting.
Yesssssssssss Descending is next and its honestly one of my favorite ST songs ever. This whole album is so underrated.
Can't wait for your reactions to the song 'descending'!
Man, you guys are my favorite reaction page. I just wanna kick it with y'all and vibe to some Sleepy TokenZz. Enjoy your week, these guys are SPECIAL.
I love this song 🖤 One of my favorites from Sleep Token. I had chills again 😉
Distraction: " I swear. she is not like any other." Higher: " you were one among many, but you're now on your own" not sure if there's any relation to these but you never know with Vessel.
In Alkaline he does say 'it's too late for me now, I am altered'
Tomb has by far been my fav album of theirs
I feel like Eric is going to enjoy the beat of Descending! Can't wait to see your reactions
If you haven’t seen 2 on drumeo playing the drums over the songs, you need to, it’s beautiful to see and hear.
This song makes my stomach feel sick. It’s so beautiful it makes me feel sick 🖤
My interpretation of this song is that maybe he has found someone that he loves or loves him back but he feels like he's not good enough for them due to the distractions/memories of his past, and maybe what he's experienced or what he's done.
I can’t wait for the next one. I love Descending, I think you will both really appreciate the sound of this one.
Yall have to prep for the High Water into Missing Limbs run of tracks.. easily the most gut wrenching duo of tracks on their albums. Though, Drag Me Under into Bloodsport is a close second.
I enjoy listening and breaking down music and really appreciate your videos!
Don't know if they've been suggested before but "the plot in you" with "forgotten" is a much needed reaction! Please guys I need to see what you think
Yay I can finally catch up your guys videos .. I been dealing with family stuff lately and I been so stressed out . But now I’m off work I can finally catch up your guys videos today 😊

Omg. This is my favourite song from TPWBYT 😢 Gets me every time. Loving the reactions as always... especially to Sleep Token 🖤
Man, I know a lot of their songs could be interpreted in many different ways, but this one I've always taken as a living life without the person you love could be a relationship, etc. The "I am broken into fractions" just hits so hard for some reason. I love watching you guys react to music. The two of you remind me of my sister and I and how you guys really feel and appreciate everything about the music, lyrics, everything!
I know this is a crazy amount of work that I'm about to suggest, but I think a really cool video idea once you've gone through all of sleep tokens discography would be a sort of recap? Where y'all re-listen to everything in order (obviously that doesn't have to be on camera bc it would be hours long) and kind of absorb it all at once and give a 'final thoughts' kind of review!
i love this song so much! it gives me all the angst
This song has gotten me emotional so many times. One of my favorites off this album for sure. As always love seeing your ST reactions. ❤
You're about to come up on my favorite songs on the album. Descending, Telomeres and High Water are amazing.
Just discovered this channel and have been through all things sleep token. I can’t get over how much this band has taken over my life. Love seeing you continue on and can’t wait for more! Also if you find the time definitely check out Somebody by Memphis May Fire.
I cannot wait for you to get to High Water. My favorite sleep token song
I don’t know a lot of the music that you guys listen to but I love your reaction videos. I just subscribe to your channel now and I can’t wait to watch more. I usually don’t watch videos like this but you guys you’re awesome I like them keep them coming.
Yesss!! I have been waiting so patiently for this video! 😅😭🙏🏻
A can't wait for you to hear telomeres, as a person that struggles with expressing emotion, its the first song to ever make me cry
Something I thought of when listening to you guys break everything down at the end that aligns with the thought of being present during Sleep Token songs…. Some music you listen to, and some music you connect with… For me, Sleep Token has always been a band that finds a way to create that type of connection with each song, new and old. The concept is very simplistic, but it can be difficult to describe the feeling. I have loved going along this journey with you guys and can’t wait for the next reaction!
You guys make the best reactions on a Sleep Token songs. Keep on it. I'm waiting for the next)
Tomb is a journey everyone should take.
So pumped to see this in my notifications! I love watching you guys react to sleep token. I can not wait for Descending!
I always waiting for your next review! You are my fav reviewers. You gonna love descending! And you are right there's so much more than just music and lore. Once you're in sleep token you can't leave. It's a cult!
im so looking forward to thw next one. descending is sooo underrated
Seriously cant wait for you to make it to High water and Descending
you guys seem like a good time to get a beer with. love the videos!
I can't wait for you guys' reaction to 'Decending', which is the next song. I have a feeling Eric is going to like that one a lot! Great reaction ❤
This is another beautiful but sad song. When those "You lied to me" vocals come in.... UGH 💔 who hurt this guy? I think most of us know that feeling all too well. 😢
I have probably checked my you tube 500 times today waiting on this. This is my second favorite song…Atlantic being my first. And just throwing this out there…I have never watched reactions to anything other than sleep token and bad omens until you guys. Y’all got me hooked on Ronnie, Ren and NF. Top tier for sure. Number one in my book.
Shirt says, Who thinks like that, Vessel, fucking genius!
It kind of an answer to fall for me. Do you hear the water around your ears?
I was never much of a lyric guy before this band but I recently went back to The Way That You Were and that fucker completely crushed me so I can’t wait for this he reaction to that one
Slaughter to Prevails new song Conflict came out and it's AWESOME!!
