I love how you've used the words "offering", "worship" and "ascending" 😂 It's like you already know! I love hearing your thoughts and your perspective on music, it's so refreshing! 🤘🏻 Also, I dunno if you'll see this cause it's quite a lengthy comment 😂 but, Sleep Token don't do many actual music videos, they're more like visualisers so you can listen to them and read/hear the lyrics. It's part of who they are, they are anonymous and only want people to hear their music, as they believe what they look like isn't important, which is one reason why they are one of my favourite bands! I'm glad you haven't just jumped on the hype bandwagon with reacting to their new stuff (although it is so good), but everything they've done throughout has been absolutely amazing! Can't wait for more! I would suggest doing The Offering, Gods, Bloodsport (both versions), Sugar, Dark Signs (very different, but something I think you'll like), Atlantic, Hypnosis, Alkaline, High Water, Missing Limbs, The Summoning, Granite, Vore, Ascensionism, The Apparition, Take Me Back To Eden, Euclid Just suggestions obviously, but either way, I can't wait to see more! Thank You

How do you know that, "it Is a catalogue of love songs?" source? There's many compelling stories of Vessel seeing the goddess/god of Sleep in a dream?

Holland T Mathews

Jaws is one of my favorite. Euclid (on ‘Take Me Back to Eden’ ) is another favorite. Well the whole album is good but Euclid just hits different.

Ida Lundgren

Cant WAIT for you to check out the Take me back to eden album!!

Spoke too soon 🥲😂

Im loving these reactions. The wait was totally worth it. I cant wait to see what you choose next. If you arent doing anything from Take Me Back To Eden yet may I suggest : Bloodsport (from The Room Below) it is absolutely phenomenal. Sugar is freaking, oh my god :D haha and Nazareth is absolutely amazing as well. Take Me Back To Eden as an album in its entirety is a masterpiece where it all comes together. Whatever you decide Im fucking here for it!

As far as their older stuff is concerned, I feel like you’d massively be missing out by not listening to Nazareth or The Offering. But thank you for reacting regardless brother.

The Offering needs to be next

So, as far as enjoying their catalogue without knowing the lore, just know it is a catalogue of love songs. Tragic, desperate, toxic, painful love songs, full of hope, and suffering, longing, and disappointment. It's about self harm, and its effect on others. It's about lack of love of self, self reflection, growth, and healing. It's about saying goodbye, even though it hurts like a motherfucker. Don't come into Sleep Token with the same expectations as you would with other metal bands. They are different. The further you go, the journey changes. Come in with an open heart, and you will be rewarded. Once you get to Blood Sport, it *must* be a double reaction. First the studio version with lyrics pulled up. Then the From The Room Below performance. Trust.

Gotta do The Offering, Ascensionism, hypnosis, Alkaline. Your choices were good so far but these are so mellow compared.

Jim Bowhall

You will understand once the last notes of Eulogy hit your ears, I cannot wait to experience that moment with you ... the deep dive will only give you more perspective on how good Eden is over those of us who heard Eden first.

I love this journey that you're on 😊 These were my exact words I wrote in the music recommendations on discord when I discovered Hey Ya! in Sleep Tokens discographie back in November: "Omg I only found this today, Teddy needs to see this. He'll either absolutely love it or hate it with a passion as an Andre 3000 fan and it would start him of on Sleep Token" 😂 😆

You are going to really enjoy and take in a lot by going to way you are. At first I was like why is he picking these songs first but I'm glad you did!

Monstanna

All I hear in this is very close to James Blake’s and Alex Clare’s voices and music plus breakdowns

Starting from their early stuff does give you the evolution of the sound, alot of the newer stuff has call backs and reference’s to the early works. Sleeptoken have gained so many new fans from take me back to eden and being the album that got them into them, its only natural they would ask for tracks from that album. The first full album sundowning has a great mix of genres which is another evolution of theirs. Dont get to tied up with the lore, it is something that you can really deep dive into or just pick up little bits from their music, its by no means essential to enjoying it. Keep up the great work bud
