Ethel Cain - Ptolemaea | FIRST REACTION (Keep or Delete?) 

she’s actually making the whole album into a book and a movie! and i believe there’s gonna be a trilogy of album’s too, the next one is called “preacher’s wife”

underneath that whole instrumental there's still screaming and pleading from her they're hidden within that noise

I love seeing people react to Ptolemaea for the first time

The whole song was haunting, but by the time she was chanting make it stop, I was crying without realizing 😭

I will die to hear this song for the first time again, it is an experience You should review the album, for me Preacher’s Daughter is the best album of 2022, IT IS AN INCREDIBLE ALBUM, the production is SO GOOD

YESSSS Ptolemea is ART, i definitely agree we need a short horror film from Hayden. Written and Directed, everything. The guitar breakdown and everything is my fav part. ❤ so scary tho LOL

genuinely cried first time listening to this song

This is such a good fucking song, gives me chills everytime I hear this song

i love interpreting songs in my own way and sorta morphing the meaning into something i can relate to

Yesss Preacher's Daughter is one of my favorite album ever, the storytelling of it all is just sad and tragic but beautiful! I would also like to see your reaction on Strangers, Sun Bleached Flies and Family Tree as they are some of my favorites!

I get goosebumps every time is hear this song

we need an album reaction asap, such a good album. honestly one of my favorites of all time.

This whole abum needs to be a feature film!! One of the best concept albums I have ever heard!!

technically speaking august underground is when ethel dies but if you listen to the acapella version, i really do think this is where her murder starts. 1) i am the face of love's rage - invokes images of women after theyve been murdered by their partners. 2) the voice on the track and the flies to me r all her talking to death. its v the girl who loved tom gordon esque tbh. so i think this is while she's ODing and shes hallucinating conversations with death. 3) august underground then is where shes trying to run away & isaiah brings her back and closes the door on her in the attic. im of two minds, imo either she ODs/aspirates & Isaiah just chooses not to get her medical attention and lets her die. or isaiah strangled her but im waiting to see how hayden writes it.

I really love this also wish you filmed A House in Nebraska haha

This is one of those songs that I am in awe of, and appreciate entirely as the art that it is in every layer and respect. That being said, I could never add it to a playlist or listen to it casually in any capacity. It invokes such a deep unease and panic in my soul that to have it pop up on shuffle mode in a playlist would be..... nahhhhhhh man. This song is intentional. In the way that Ethel Cain does everything intentionally, so too does the listener have to INTENTIONALLY seek this one out (after the first listen of course). Because I couldn't imagine just having it follow anything or be followed by anything (other than its neighbours on the album). I don't think my brain could handle it either.

Thoroughfare, Family Tree, and Sun-Bleached Flies next!!

One of the best songs on the album!!! Fact!

I’ve seen a reactor skip this song in an album reaction after a few seconds:) Too freaked out

u need to do Thoroughfare next! this album is so good

Thank you so much for doing this one!! Amazing

YESS STRANGERS BY ETHEL NEXT PLEASEEEE💙

The guitars give doom metal, and I love it.

OMGGGGGGGGGF

I can't stop listening to this song it's basically become an everyday thing for me to do now

OKKAAAYYYYY mother

YESSSSSS OMGG

also learning it's "you'd do well to say yes to me" and not "you don't have to say yes to me"

She recorded flies yes

WE’RE GETTING A MOVIE??? OMFG

such a cutie for reacting to mother

is there a vod of his reaction of a house in a Nebraska on twitch?

Listening to the acapella of this song makes it even more disturbing. You can hear her screams and pleads and it's horrifying

please listen to the acapella version it's so much more fucked up
