when he said “it’s not very… uplifting” when talking about american teenager i just had to laugh 🤣 bc what comes soon after is gonna REALLY throw them through a loop lol
I feel like it should be mentioned that this album was initially released with a lot of supplementary material which is where a lot of the names and events in genius that aren’t in lyrics come from
timestamps!! 5:43 family tree (intro) 9:47 american teenager 15:07 a house in nebraska 22:17 western nights 28:23 family tree 35:10 hard times 43:03 thoroughfare
Your dad's story about his grandpa's house in Jersey was really sweet. I have similar memories at my grandmother's house. This album really evokes a lot of personal feelings while still feeling so distinctly otherworldly. My favorite song is Sun Bleach Flies which is towards the end of the album.
can confirm: thoroughfare is amazing live and also every time i listen to it i think about how she held my hands in her hands during the like third chorus 😭😭😭😭
I don't think you should react to Ethel Cain's newest album. It's a complicated project that is definitely worth listening to, but it will be really difficult to react to as all the songs are around 10 minutes long, if not longer. Definitely check it out, but I don't think we need a reaction.
They say American Teenager was a retelling of Don’t Stop Believin, a bit pessimistic but somehow more realistic take on the song. Makes sense why she sampled that guitar riff
Just came from their patreon and just wow. If you’re second-guessing it, don’t. They have one of the best reactions to Preachers Daughter and I’ve just about watched them all. I highly recommend checking it out if you can!! Thank you so much for the great insight. For the millionth time, I got to enjoy this epic album again❤️🔥
So excited for this one!! Can’t wait for part 2🥳 Can you do Hozier next? He’s the best songwriter out there, all of his albums are insanely poetic, i’m pretty sure you’d enjoy his music!
I subbed to the patreon just to watch the full uncut reaction + part 2 and I look at the part 2 thumbnail and you're crying and I giggled 😭 I'm sorry, I just saw it coming
I love that your father called her an old soul cause I’m pretty sure he said the same about Lana, my fav artist, and the reason I started to listen to Ethel Cain is because people said it kinda sounded like her, which is not common in artists. The only other artist who truly reminds me of Lana atm is Weyes Blood, if you haven’t listened to her I think she’d be great to react to
You should probably think over reacting to her new album… it’s mostly scary ambient music (with some spoken parts in some of the tracks) and like, only two songs have a distinct melody. Very experimental and not for everyone 😅
Did I miss where you guys discuss the themes regarding trans identity, here? Hayden Silas Anhedönia is a trans woman, which I think really informs the themes of the whole album.
the way hard times flew by yalls head sooooo far high and then u read about it and go wooooooooooooooohh. the lyrics are a literal punch to the stomach. but ill give yall a pass cause the sound itself takes u out if ure not paying attention. always a pleasure watching people react to the gem that is hayden.
I don't know why I got Deja vu with this, I thought y'all already reacted to it? I guess I was wrong! Oh well, time to enjoy how y'all analyze the music :D
So, the story has an extratextual element to it--Not limited to the lyrics--I tend to recommend people have a basic understanding of the beats of the story going into the album, but do not hang on to the Genius annotations like a lifeboat. The story gets fleshed out in posts Hayden made in places like Tumblr, etc. Like Pink Floyd's The Wall, the narrative is linear but it is not clearly one moment to the next. Rather, scene-to-scene. It helps Pink Floyd that Pink is the only named character, and in terms of storytelling, that is one of my biggest criticisms of Pearcher's Daughter. Hayden is young, and even as a creative writing graduate it took me several years before I learned that not all the background of my stories and characters needed to be written. *Y'all clearly recorded part two already, so I don't feel weird about pointing out that the question of the narrator's reliability is very present. Also, this album is supposed to be one of a trilogy, (each from different points of view,) at least that seems to be Hayden's plan. I assume some of the narrative will be sured up with each new installment. I basically search TH-cam for new reactions and new concert footage of her every now and again. Some of the live performances are fantastic, (despite being shot by audiences members making the quality vary wildly.) That said, there is the KEXP Live performance and the Dscvr videos--Neither include an audience though.
Another Great Album you should dive into is Rina Sawayama’s project called Sawayama it is definitely mixed bag of varying emotions. Definitely recommend it’s a benchmark album in my opinion
you guys would definitely enjoy stick season by noah kahan! he has great storytelling that i believe you'd really like, if any patron could recommend it to them :))
If you haven’t already received a comment about this, thoroughfare is much darker than it’s made out to be. In reality, Isaiah has kidnapped her (hence every small-town diner seeing their faces - missing posters) and she’s drugged. Ethel is a very good example of an unreliable narrator and I think that track shows the best example of it personally
I really wanted to like this album. it's been recommended to me so much and i love experimental concept stuff and she's incredibly talented, but when i listened last year i couldn't get into it. Maybe it's just not for me. i really liked your insights anyway though!
“Sound like a ghost is singing to us” oh well boy I have some bad news for you😭😭
LMFAOO

Oh Ethel the woman you are!!! Can’t wait for this reaction.
i am so excited to see the reaction to ptolemaea
I feel like it should be mentioned that this album was initially released with a lot of supplementary material which is where a lot of the names and events in genius that aren’t in lyrics come from

i’m BEGGING you guys to listen to Hozier!!! all 3 of his albums are absolutely incredible, you’d love them!!!
wait the thoroughfare actual description is way darker than just "attracted to one another", oh God the lore runs deep
can confirm: thoroughfare is amazing live and also every time i listen to it i think about how she held my hands in her hands during the like third chorus 😭😭😭😭
you don’t understand how happy this made me

@@Glu_Grl AGREE
agree big time, i think a lot of people (who don’t follow her) were expecting a preachers daughter pt.2
It's too experimental for the general public, even more so for reactions
@@Glu_Grl we need a reaction
i cant wait for y’all to hear sun bleached flies wow that song made me sob first listen 😭.
19:30 what a great memory it evoked in him. Love when music effects people like this

I love your dad's story about the piano in the sunroom
IT'S HERE FELLOW DAUGHTERS RISE ‼️
yessss best album ever tbh
The emotional attachment I have to this album… hard times is one of my all time favorite songs :’) So excited to see what y’all think!
@@tavernmaidbecca OMG ME TOO!! It’s so slept on!! I get lost when I listen to it. The lyrics are so sad too
So excited for this one!! Can’t wait for part 2🥳 Can you do Hozier next? He’s the best songwriter out there, all of his albums are insanely poetic, i’m pretty sure you’d enjoy his music!

CANT WAIT FOR PART 2!!!!
OH MY GODDDDD ANOTHER PREACHERS DAUGHTER REACTION LETS GOOOOO
GGGGIIIRRRRRLLLLLL I BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE
YES CANT WAIT FOR PART 2!!!!
As someone who experienced Thoroughfare live, you are right, it is something else live. I ascended.
Ahhh! My favorite album! It makes me so happy to see people understand and look into the meaning of her songs! Excited for the rest :]
I love that your father called her an old soul cause I’m pretty sure he said the same about Lana, my fav artist, and the reason I started to listen to Ethel Cain is because people said it kinda sounded like her, which is not common in artists.

I’ve been waiting for this for AGES 😭 can’t wait to hear about y’all thoughts on this album! It’s definitely one of my favorites
The second your dad said “no harmonica” before thoroughfare I laughed!!
You have no idea how much I’ve been waiting for this video 😭😭
Oh god im so excited for this!!
Oh my god, you guys don’t even know how excited I am about this!!
One of the best reaction vids

Yay!! I’m so glad you guys got around to this album. It’s so good! Edit to add please do Hozier next! His songwriting is so next level
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE YES
Excited for the reaction on strangers

@@homeiswhereukeepurdealtho I think it's just too awful of a concept to consider on first listen, I definitely didn't catch it myself
@@KarolinaK00 i can see that and totally valid

PREACHER'S DAUGHTER OH MY GODDDDD

Loved your reaction on Patreon. Also, she produced all of this. She's truly a talented visionary.

4:30 now I need to know the story about the apartment that resembles this haunted picture 😂
Perverts is not rly a good choice for a reaction album. Its mostly drone and ambient music
I’ve never clicked so fast
I can’t wait to see their reactions to sun bleached flies

Damn I can’t believe my favorite part of the album (the climax of Family Tree) was cut from this reaction 😭😭😭
Oh boy
I would love to see you two react to some Halsey!
oh yes react to perverts after this, it's gonna be something
I would love to see you guys react to Hozier or Kiki Rockwell!
lezzzzzgooooo
Part 2 is better imo, ptolomaea onwards is AMAZING
What rock have I been living under? A Lana/ Taylor/ Florence hybrid? My three favourite things ❤️🔥
OMG
I really wanted to like this album. it's been recommended to me so much and i love experimental concept stuff and she's incredibly talented, but when i listened last year i couldn't get into it. Maybe it's just not for me. i really liked your insights anyway though!
You guys should definitely(pleaseeeee) react to Noah Kahan's Stick Season (we'll all be here forever)
Please react to Hi Ren by Ren or his album Sick Boi!
