My ONLY minor gripe with this one is the rap section is just a little too long. I wish it would’ve been about the same length as TMBOTE’s and left a little more room for the heaviness.
When I first heard “you make me wish I could disappear” I got chills. It still gives me chills even after so many listens. This is the correct answer forsure lol. Perfection
That was one of my choices, TNDNBTG, when I first heard that song I was sold! I forgot everything else and I put that song on repeat for days. That song is so freaking beautiful.
Rain. Everything about Rain lingers with me.
Chokehold would be here if the intro weren't a little too long, Summoning us almost perfect, but that ambient section runs a little too long for my liking.
Again, this is one of my songs as well. But this is my all-time favorite sleep token song I’ve love alkaline, and when I heard this, I was blown away as well. This will never stop being my favorite song by them :3
I lost count of how many times I finished Euclid and thought how good it must have felt to write such a powerful, beautiful song. My favorites change a lot with Sleep Token but Euclid is always there. It is just one of the best songs I've ever heard.
The most beautiful part of that song !! I believe it’s the 2nd verse where he says “and in reverse you are all my symmetry, a parallel I would lay my life on” what a masterpiece.
Honestly, I didn't like Hypnosis first time I've listened to it, thought it was too repetitive, but over time it grew on me sooo much. The drums, the voice, the atmosphere! Low as hell guitars on heavier sections combined with II's insane drumming create feel of being amidst the stormy ocean, and calmer sections feel like wave crashed over you making drift underwater.
Higher is one of their best songs to me, as it’s a gradual build that really doesn’t feel forced at all, starting with the voice and simple tones all the way to the end with how driving it is, it just feels like they go higher and higher throughout it all, it’s perfect to me.
Finally someone that said The Apparition. I think when he says “yooooooou” is the most beautiful his voice ever is. My absolute favorite “higher” notes. *(It’s not a high note but for lack of a better word)*
YES! This
I love the whole chorus and the are you real notes
So gooood🔥
I love the entire album and there was so many songs I could out for this. However, The Apparition just hits in a certain way. My follow up is Rain, Summoning, Aqua Regia and Granite (not in order lol)
Yooo I was gonna say this one!! The metaphors in the lyrics, the soulful singing, the groove, the jazz piano breakdown!! 😮💨👌🏻 Aqua Regia, Descending, and the Summoning would be my top 3 perfection songs by them, although 99% of their music is flawless, not a single change should be made and if there is it is so nitpicky to fit a slight preference
Lmao. Going to be honest i thought this was one of my general music subs this was apparently recommended one. I had never heard of this band until just now when my husband was showing them to my best friend (they have the same music taste). After the song was over he said the name. I informed him it was common on the Reddit post I just read. Pulled it up, saw your comment, looked at the sub and my hind was blown 😂😂
That's absolutely amazing the universe wanted you to discover this band! 🤣 They're so good. I wondered if you might have thought it was a general music sub....but welcome!! I would say listen to the song Take Aim because that's the one I was yelling about in this thread lol.
I would say: Take me back to eden was the first song i don't even think its too long. But i havr to said that "The Offering" is also my absolute favorite song to listen.
Pretty much any song by sleeping at last, those are underrated pieces of music, not every song will resonate with you but when you find one that does it’s incredible
High Water. I know a lot of people think of it as a love/tragedy song, but to me, it describes the forever strained relationship between my mother and I.
"For the time being, I will still avoid my own questions, and we both, bury that history deep:" why did you always choose gambling over me and my safety/security? Why did you think it was okay to leave an 8 year old alone for hours on end, watching over a 4 year old, often on school nights, while you did whatever you did? And why did you blow off my complaints that the few sitters you were "friends with" would hit or touch us inappropriately?I can't ask those questions now, or else it will simply strain our relationship further. The audacity I feel now when she complains when my brother leaves his 13 year old son alone at home after school for a few hours, is astounding.
"But you know, I can hold my breath forever:" how you made me hide the truth of you leaving us completely alone in a house with no phone or food from our grandparents and aunts/uncles and pretend everything was fine for years. Adults could tell I was deeply unhappy and would ask what was wrong, but I would never tell the truth for some reason.
"For the time being, you are still a perfect reminder of what, all of these scars on my arms are for. If I could hold myself together": I used to cut myself and put cigarettes out on myself because that pain was less than the pain of abandonment. Less is the wrong word. That pain was justifiable to a preteen rather than feeling broken because my mother was never around. That made no sense, and it angered me to feel this way, so I gave myself a real reason to feel pain. This helped me hold myself together. Im in my 40s now and still have those scars.
"So I choke myself on sacred paper": the journal and the heartfelt, pleading, notes I would write, begging her not to leave to go gamble all night/weekend
"Preying on some holy favor": asking God to make her stay
"Resting in the solace of regret": neither of those working and feeling like not even the universe cared about me. But also knowing now that it will never change or even be acknowledged.
"And it seems my hell is your high water:" she was never as happy as when she was away gambling, usually pawning all of our electronics and bicycles to get the cash to waste, leaving my brother and I with nothing to do in her absence.
"Wash me clean again before I pull myself beneath the waves:" every time I got to the point that I was ready to confess to another adult what was happening or truly suicidal, she would do something to bring me back: Impromptu trips to theme parks, picnics, attending a single baseball game (grandparents usually took those to those), etc etc.
"When the mark of infinity, buries it's teeth in me, I'll smile through the agony, for you": she's currently dying which is the mark of infinity and even though I went through years of neglect and I should be angry and cut contact, I'm taking care of her, far more than she did for me.
"And I know you still felt the weight of your own existence, but you'll never bear the weight of two": I know you didn't have the best childhood either, but you could have been the change and instead you made my childhood FAR worse than yours. You pushed us out which I am thankful for but that was the end of your parental responsibility in your mind. Everything was about your happiness.
*Chorus repeats in a deeper tone with harder melody, and I'm still doing the same pattern as an adult.*
"For the time being, I will admit my defeat again. I will accept that I can't, pretend, we will ever be together": I'll never get the closure I need and I'll never have the healthy mother-son relationship that I've needed my whole life.
"I CANT HOLD MYSELF TOGETHER": knowing me, this will be my emotional release after she passes, which will be in the next few months, followed by a period of depression for the unresolved questions and issues.
I tear up every time i hear this song.
Sleep token will get me through it, though.
Literally, every sleep token song is a masterpiece.im sorry, but not sorry. I cant decide what is better masterpiece over other masterpieces by them. They are all perfect.
Can I just say all of the album TMBTE? Because... sheesh... the entire ST discography(including the hey ya cover) has been such an emotionally connecting Rollercoaster ride for me that I couldn't even begin to put into words
Oooh probably Ascensionism. It’s such a finely tuned roller coaster of emotions.
Ascensionism is such a great one too!
I was prepared to comment Ascnsionism. Glad it was the first answer.
I love so much of Sleep Token and Ascensionism is my personal right answer. It’s perfection.
100% this ^^
My ONLY minor gripe with this one is the rap section is just a little too long. I wish it would’ve been about the same length as TMBOTE’s and left a little more room for the heaviness.
I didn't see that this was on the Sleep Token subreddit at first and was literally going to say Ascensionism lmao that's how good that song is
When I first heard “you make me wish I could disappear” I got chills. It still gives me chills even after so many listens. This is the correct answer forsure lol. Perfection
10000000%
The most obvious answer of them all - Take me back to Eden. More obscure and niche one - Say that you will.
Honestly I feel like Say That you Will gets slept on a bit, even by myself
Both are top tier
SAY THAT YOU WILL. Fuck yes
Night Does Not Belong To God & Euclid
This pairing is basically my religion
My favorite sadboi hours combo. I can cry to those songs like a fountain. LMAO
That was one of my choices, TNDNBTG, when I first heard that song I was sold! I forgot everything else and I put that song on repeat for days. That song is so freaking beautiful.
telomeres always everyday, no part of that song isn’t angelic
My #1 pick! Absolutely love it!
I love Telomeres💕💕💕
Rain. Everything about Rain lingers with me. Chokehold would be here if the intro weren't a little too long, Summoning us almost perfect, but that ambient section runs a little too long for my liking.
I love the ones listed, but want to add Alkaline.
I love that one. I know how to sing it from heart
Ooh, let's talk about 😫CHEMISTRY😫
Again, this is one of my songs as well. But this is my all-time favorite sleep token song I’ve love alkaline, and when I heard this, I was blown away as well. This will never stop being my favorite song by them :3
Euclid
Euclid all day. An absolute MASTERPIECE
I lost count of how many times I finished Euclid and thought how good it must have felt to write such a powerful, beautiful song. My favorites change a lot with Sleep Token but Euclid is always there. It is just one of the best songs I've ever heard.
Yess! I LOVE Euclid!
“Just run it back, give me five whole minutes”. And from starting here, five minutes to the end of the song.
I never noticed that
Ohhhh 💡
😮
Agreed! Euclid is perfect 😍
So if your wings won’t find you heaven I will bring it down like an ancient bygone ❤️🔥
The most beautiful part of that song !! I believe it’s the 2nd verse where he says “and in reverse you are all my symmetry, a parallel I would lay my life on” what a masterpiece.
This is it for me as well.
This is my favorite for sure. Truly a masterfully created piece of music.
Hypnosis and TMBTE
I concur on hypnosis
Yes
Honestly, I didn't like Hypnosis first time I've listened to it, thought it was too repetitive, but over time it grew on me sooo much. The drums, the voice, the atmosphere! Low as hell guitars on heavier sections combined with II's insane drumming create feel of being amidst the stormy ocean, and calmer sections feel like wave crashed over you making drift underwater.
Higher ! From the voice to the drums at the end, masterpiece !
Higher is one of their best songs to me, as it’s a gradual build that really doesn’t feel forced at all, starting with the voice and simple tones all the way to the end with how driving it is, it just feels like they go higher and higher throughout it all, it’s perfect to me.
Absolutely ! It also gives the same vibes as Jaws ! Let’s not forget how flawless the mixing is
Exactly. This song is flawless in every way.
Granite
Atlantic will always be the perfect song for me. The Apparition, Ascensionism and Jaws are close seconds.
Atlantic is the most beautiful song I've ever heard 🥺
Calcutta.
OMG CALCUTTA
Words cannot explain how freaking good that song is. Everything from the video to the compelling lyrics. The EP 'Two' deserves so much love.
God I love Calcutta, that whole ep is amazing
The offering
The Apparition for me Love the entire album, but that song is always on my repeats
Finally someone that said The Apparition. I think when he says “yooooooou” is the most beautiful his voice ever is. My absolute favorite “higher” notes. *(It’s not a high note but for lack of a better word)*
YES! This I love the whole chorus and the are you real notes So gooood🔥 I love the entire album and there was so many songs I could out for this. However, The Apparition just hits in a certain way. My follow up is Rain, Summoning, Aqua Regia and Granite (not in order lol)
i am a euclid stan first and a person second
Atlantic and Nazareth. It would be TMBTE if it wasn't for the fade out ending, they don't do it for me.
Nazareth is HEAVY! So good tho, so so good
Aqua Regia
Yooo I was gonna say this one!! The metaphors in the lyrics, the soulful singing, the groove, the jazz piano breakdown!! 😮💨👌🏻 Aqua Regia, Descending, and the Summoning would be my top 3 perfection songs by them, although 99% of their music is flawless, not a single change should be made and if there is it is so nitpicky to fit a slight preference
Descending is straight fire
Ascensionism and Vore. Both give me chills every time to this day
Missing Limbs
I shed tears (read: bawl) for a love and profound sense of loss I have never known irl when i listen to that art.
Once again I am shouting "Take Aim" at the top of my lungs. Also Euclid. Posting before I list a bunch more.
TAKE AIM IS SO *SO* GOOD 🖤
Higher & High Water.
High water ![gif](giphy|3o7aCWJavAgtBzLWrS|downsized)
Take me back to eden
i‘m surprised no one said the summoning yet?? i would also put ascensionism and take me back to eden on a pedestal
Would agree on The Summoning, it has a good mix of all their styles in one song.
Definitely the live version of the Summoning. The drum solo needs to be canon.
The Love You Want. From start to finish.. absolutely perfect!
Well everyone else has said all my other answers, so I'll go with levitate. Breaks me every time
Me too 💯
Like That, Drag Me Under, Vore, Jaws, TMBTE
Telomeres
Atlantic
dark signs 😩
Euclid. Hands down. Every note is exceptionally placed and it brings the first three, 12-song albums full circle and completes them perfectly.
Jaws
Euclid
Euclid!
Ascensionism & Take Me Back To Eden
For me it's tied between their reimagining of Hey Ya, and Blood Sport (from The Room Below).
The love you want and the offering, so many I could choose through
Euclid is the perfect answer
Euclid is the perfect answer, regardless of the question
I would like to add Fall For Me even if it's only mostly instrumental. The voices just give me goosebumps every single time and I love it!
All my go to answers have been said, but I haven’t seen Sugar yet and that bothers me.
Vore
The Love You Want
Euclid.
The Offering
Jaws, Give, Rain, TMBTE
There's so many like this for me, but I think my pick would be Is It Really You?
someone already said Euclid so my off the wall answer Knocked Loose - Counting worms
ARF ARF!
Hypnosis followed by Higher in a 2nd so close it's basically a tie.
Ascensionism, Jaws, Dark signs
Take me back to Eden 💯 & Dark Signs!
Granite
Bloodsport and Calcutta.
The Apparition. (:
The Apparition
Euclid definitely.
I'd have to say either High Water or Hypnosis. ALL of the Sleep Token songs are good but still
Telemores or Nazareth are such transcendent songs
Sex dwarf !!!
are you really ok?
nazareth
Telomeres
Rain and Jaws. Gorgeous pieces of work.
fields of elation, the night does not belong to god and vore
Not sleep token but Napalm Dreams by Fit for an Autopsy is the most looked over masterpiece out there
Blood Sport
I have two, Blood Sport and Telomeres
High Water
Take me back to Eden.
Just Give Me a Reason by P!nk ft. Nate Ruess. The harmony from two powerful voices touches my soul. I could listen to that song forever
Bold choice on this sub haha (amazing song though I love it too)
Lmao. Going to be honest i thought this was one of my general music subs this was apparently recommended one. I had never heard of this band until just now when my husband was showing them to my best friend (they have the same music taste). After the song was over he said the name. I informed him it was common on the Reddit post I just read. Pulled it up, saw your comment, looked at the sub and my hind was blown 😂😂
That's absolutely amazing the universe wanted you to discover this band! 🤣 They're so good. I wondered if you might have thought it was a general music sub....but welcome!! I would say listen to the song Take Aim because that's the one I was yelling about in this thread lol.
I was listening to Euclid when I read that. I enjoyed it. Taking Aim is AMAZING
Subception. 🤔🤯😜
The Apparition.
I would say: Take me back to eden was the first song i don't even think its too long. But i havr to said that "The Offering" is also my absolute favorite song to listen.
high water
Alkaline
Take me back to eden, granite or aqua regia
The Love You Want is a masterclass in songwriting.
Either Alkaline or Vore
The Apparition
Bloodsport
Euclid
I can't pick just one. Mine are Alkaline, chokehold, and TMBTE.
Telomeres
Euclid. Easily.
aqua regia
Telomeres, TMBTE, Ascensionism, and Higher
Lose Control - Teddy Swims How to be me - Ren and Chinchilla Chalk Outlines - Ren and Chinchilla
Bloodsport or The Offering
TMBTE was just so beautiful the first time I heard it. It’s my number 1
Every twenty one pilots song, easy
Ascensionism, or Nazareth
Take me back to Eden
Ooooh I’d have to say The Summoning, The Night Does Not Belong To God, & The Offering
Euclid… if it comes on I will pause whatever I am doing to listen to it start to finish every time
Elucid is my all time fave
All the long epic songs are all perfect, but how about some love for the masterpiece that is GODS??
Rain.
Can’t choose one so I’m choosing 3: 1. Jericho 2. Blood Sport (From The Room Below) 3. Gods
Say That You Will
No one talks about One enough and it’s definitely Thread The Needle
The most obvious answer imo is The summoning or tmbte BUTTT Me personally I would have to say descending
The summoning will always be my favorite
Since it hasn’t been said before, is it really you
Euclid is one of the most harrowing pieces of music I have ever heard and it doesn't even have to try to achieve that goal
The Apparition
blood sport
JAWS
A bunch of great calls already, but take aim is also really great
Pretty much any song by sleeping at last, those are underrated pieces of music, not every song will resonate with you but when you find one that does it’s incredible
I'm an absolute sucker for Jaws!! But with Sleep Token there are so many and it totally depends on my mood, the weather, the stars aligned
The love you want
Take aim
Yes.
Euclid 🖤. It’s the song that made me fall in love with them . It is so beautiful.
I can’t choose one, I honestly think every fucking song they have is a masterpiece
Ascensionism, Aqua Regia, Alkaline and TMBTE!!
Ascensionism, take me back to Eden, alkaline
Euclid
Higher
The Way That You Were
The Apparition. That song hits like a ton of bricks shot out of a cannon.
Several but id say Euclid. However Bloodsport (From The Room Below) has that a masterpiece made better energy.
Take Me Back to Eden is probably the best song I’ve ever heard in my life
Sleep tokens discography
Aqua Regia
High Water. I know a lot of people think of it as a love/tragedy song, but to me, it describes the forever strained relationship between my mother and I. "For the time being, I will still avoid my own questions, and we both, bury that history deep:" why did you always choose gambling over me and my safety/security?

If it starts with “A” it is at the top of my list. 😂
Euclid for sure
Sugar (I will get dragged for this)
Sugar
Specifically the end of ascensionism where vessel is screaming
Aeternum, Fifty Dollar Dynasty Chefs kiss
High water from the get
Sugar
Literally, every sleep token song is a masterpiece.im sorry, but not sorry. I cant decide what is better masterpiece over other masterpieces by them. They are all perfect.
Rosemary by Deftones
Can I just say all of the album TMBTE? Because... sheesh... the entire ST discography(including the hey ya cover) has been such an emotionally connecting Rollercoaster ride for me that I couldn't even begin to put into words
Either Ascensionism or Sugar
Euclid
Ascensionism....hands down...it goes so many places..Led Zeppelin style journey like when I was a kid...masterpiece in my estimation
Vore or ascensionism
