I like to imagine that every memory involving the radio broadcasts is a transition in time as well. Going from a home to rehab, back again and finally to an assisted living facility. Eventually left with a drifting mind and their thoughts with every day as a blur.
The bumpers and my interpretations because i fucking love Year 4 G1 - America's Bicentennial, 1978 The patient feels trapped, in Y3 the claustrophobic sense its introduced so this, apart from representing that the patient its enjoying any lucidity, it might represent the feeling of being trapped with no way out considering that the US is considered the Freedom country and the song its FREE as a bird H1 - The Harlem Riots of 1964 I like to consider this one an "Early life regression" kind of bumper, since the patient might be remembering the voice from a long time ago, the title "Storm Always End" sounds like the patient's mother told him when there was a storm to calm him down, that its a consistent theme on NATMOS:R (C1, E1, Tornado Warning in Y5) J1 - Ronald Reagan's "A Time For Choosing" Speech, 1964 (Spoiler Alert) the part used its the intro since you can hear the applause, Reagan talks about the concept of "using its own words" so it can represent the patient starting to lose ability to talk properly, the delay also makes the voice sound like stuttering, so it reinforces my theory, the song that plays after, Leaving Memories Behind, comes from Testament, which its about a nuclear blast that the protagonists we're just far enough to not be destroyed by it, the bomb being deployed by the soviet union, which Reagan referred as an "Evil Empire" in 1983, same year Testament was released, all of this connects this to the cold war as a contrast with the possible WW2 references in EATEOT (got pretty long but in my defense i love this track lmao) J5 - PSA Protect and Survive (About Nuclear Bombs) and movie clips from Club Med The voice when sped up talks about being better off with your family in case you survive a nuclear bomb, the patient its trying to hold to any possible hope that this will end soon, the most interesting and coherent clip its a barely hearable "In Paradise" which can reference Another Day In Paradise, also Club Med its a movie about vacations so its possible that the attempt to recall summer vacations failed and led to that kind of drowning effect, J6 - ABC news tonight, December 1999, Movie clips from Bean: The Movie, 1997 all the samples can be considered from the timeframe of the late 90's, a interesting time since that was the awaited millennium change, the ABC broadcast its about the Y2K, which was a threatened to struck the world heavily, and it was from December 1999, close to the year's end, its pretty clever since NATMOS:R uses years instead of stages, and its a really late track, the music feels pretty heroic in some moments, but also stopping suddenly like the heroic effort its being crushed by the fog
"And we likely enjoy every minute-minute-minute..." Dude the beginning of Year 4 is brilliant, Patient is aware about his dementia diagnosis and enjoy every minute of any memory he can remember
@@JordanKeuring Can you please tell me what is this guy say after "and we likely enjoy every minute" i can't understand it just its very interesting to me
Year 4 (Stage 3) "And we'll likely enjoy every minute... minute... minute... across the reflecting pool of the Washington Monument and the Capitol down beyond... beyond beyond... beyond beyond beyond... beyond beyond..." Part I Artwork: A film projector, although the shape makes it too hard to tell what this thing actually is. Part I: This part is where the distortion truly begins to settle in. Dark ambient and missing parts of tracks are found within the different parts. Soon, the patient will forget that they have dementia altogether. Part II Artwork: A radio or a Walkman. Extremely distorted, it does not look like a radio or Walkman, but you can recognize the antenna and headphone jack. It is hanging on a curved bar, which goes through the power light, which is still on somehow. Part II: The last attempt to remember before confusion sets in. The attempt is a failure, as the tracks are considerably more distorted, and become almost unrecognizable at the end to their former selves, as the patient enters Year 5.
1 year has passed and this still being one of my favourite representations of stage 3, I'm so happy that I was able to follow this album since it's first years

Hello, I am Adler Thebes, formerly known as ItsBladeHere. I am responsible for that droning you heard at the end of J8. It was a honor to be included on such an emotional work. Expect me to work in this community more in the future.
Giving this a gradual relisten and I8 surprisingly connects with me more than it did before. The later parts of I side (I8 especially) feel less like a storm, and more like...drowning. Like your ship was being dragged in by the intake of the storm, and the waves prevented any escape long before you noticed you were moving towards it. Like the boat's capsizing - like the waters below are slowly dragging you under and your arms are just...so tired. Any anxiety and fear you felt is diluted by the fact that you're too exhausted to even feel fear anymore. I8 feels like the moment where the struggle starts to stop. Directly preceding it is I7, which feels emotionless and incoherent - like a half-hearted attempt at something the protagonist knows will fail. I8's remarkably clear sound compared to the rest of I side and the tracks that follow it makes it feel less like a memory and more like a feeling. It feels like the death of the defiant, hopelessly optimistic attitude of enjoying every minute - because you can't even string together the minutes anymore. All attempts to recall consciously just lead to more and more degradation and you're just- you're sick of it. You're so, so tired.
@@Unnamed86 maybe the bumper in J1 really does have a meaning - “A Time for Choosing” as in choosing whether to give up, or to keep defying the disease.
theres a cool audio trick that i dont know the name of in the bumper around 0:04 you can replicate this by duplicating a sample, and making one of them slightly slower than the other one
" …And we'll likely enjoy every minute- *minute- minute-* …Must the reflecting pool of the Washington monument and the capital dome beyond- *beyond- beyond- beyond- beyond-* " *beyond- beyond- beyond- beyond- beyond- beyond- beyond-*
dear god Keuring having this pop up in my recommended at 12am after reading news headlines for fifteen minutes was not what I needed. On a side note this feels like a different sort of delirium at the beginning before erupting into the familiar sense of reverbed drunkenness seen most from stage 3 albums
I’m at about 19:20 and I just woke up at 2:50AM, listening to this shit is like being in an empty shopping mall on its last day before closing, hearing all the echos of every noise you make, seeing the deterioration and wear of the building, always thinking about the knowledge that it and places like it are dying, going obsolete. HOLY SHIT PLASTIC LOVE??????
This project is CRIMINALLY underrated- I've been here since the first releases of NATMOS (before the remasters AND the redux) and I'm genuinely floored by the increase of production quality. Like, the art, the choice of samples, the overall aesthetic is SO WELL pieced together that despite going a different direction from EATEOT, it feels so much more like it in spirit than the previous renditions. I'm looking forward to Year 5, with 8 years planned it's honestly very difficult to imagine how things will go from there and that's so exciting!
As Stage 3 is my favorite of the original EATEOT and NATMOS albums, I'm very happy to see the above and beyond treatment for this. And I'm very happy to see you further degrade a track I posted, that's super cool
Year Four. The release date is February 27th, 2022. Four years remaining. G1- The bumper and the song itself sounds so dreadful. Considering that the bumper is the America’s Bicentennial, and that the song is Free As A Bird, makes it seem like the patient wants to escape and break out of the condition, but that’s not happening. The minutes of lucidity are running out. G2- A1 makes a comeback, but sounds rather broken and unstable. What used to sound peaceful is now becoming desperate and gloomy. G3- This track to me sounds like it carries a false sense of happiness with the patient becoming more dead on the inside. G4- While this is one of the more coherent tracks of Year 4, it still has a disturbing tone to it. G5- The patient is now lost in his thoughts, looking fine externally. But internally? Not in the slightest. G6- The first track in the entirety of NATMOS:R that goes out one ear to another. This memory is all sorts of corrupted, but the patient is trying his hardest to hold onto it. G7- Considering the original song was called Fond My Mind before becoming Feels Like A Wish, it seems like the patient didn’t want this song to be lost forever. But soon, he will be lost amongst the chaos. G8- I’ve listened to this track many times, and I still have no idea when it actually dies down. This memory died long before it got the chance to flourish. G9- Plastic Love. Considering that D2 in the original was called ‘Clarity just out of reach’, and that this track is called ‘Fantasy reaches of Fantasy’, I’d like to think that the patient is trying to reach clarity, but lost in the fantasy that he will succeed in doing so. H1- And this track confirms it. With that title, I’m not so sure if the patient will make it out of the storm alive. Storms do end, but not this one. H2- Rather similar to both G4 and G6, this track carried the strongest feelings of dread and uncertainty yet. H3- The song itself just sounds creepy without even trying. And the ending caught me off guard the first time I heard it. H4- Free Falling. The song is desperately trying to be happy, but at the end of it, the patient falls back into the Great Sea of Blackness, never giving him any chance to swim back up. H5- Mentally, the mind is beginning to just collapse. And physical health will soon follow suit. That’s just a prediction, though it will happen sooner or later. H6- In this struggle, it is becoming harder to find and remember the meaning in most things, and it is getting harder to stand defiant and tall…Making Love Out Of Nothing At All. H7- Clouds swell approaching. I think that it is referring to storm clouds. Another Day in Paradise plays and sounds like there is hope in all of this. But it ends, and the condition continues to chip away at the hope the patient has. H8- Soulless. It really is not the same as it used to be. It sounds upbeat, but is overall soulless. H9- This track is rather scary, reminding the patient that the minutes to be “enjoyed” are becoming increasingly limited, and that there is no turning back now. The patient is now trapped in his own mind. I1- The last memory to be coherent before dementia comes in and tears it from the patient’s grasp, ending with a drone to represent its dying structure. I2- G6, but is far more corrupted than it used to be. Feelings are now starting to become a blur. I3- To me, this is rather uncanny. The signs of true decay are beginning to show, with pure emptiness filling the air. I4- Our Last Sun, a title too fitting for a track once again. The song itself is clear, but becomes more corrupted near the end of it, like the sun fading into the night. I5- The struggle to fight against himself is becoming more impossible. H4 makes a comeback, reminding the patient that this fight is pointless; he is only delaying his demise. I6- The song itself is trying to be jovial and upbeat, but far too chaotic and destroyed to try to comprehend. Yet, the patient can remember some of how it goes. Some. I7- This one sounds like something that would play in my nightmares. Maybe this one will tonight, who knows? I8- Make It Like A Memory. What used to be a night to remember and a memory to remain defiant in the face of Dementia itself is now something that doesn’t feel like it is worth remembering anymore. The patient’s arms are tired, and he is about ready to give in to the Great Sea of Blackness. I9- The patient is now starting to wonder why he is still here in this moment. Why it’s even worth trying to keep going. The patient is just tired. So tired. J1- I can’t even understand what is even being said here, and I think that was intentional. Like the patient, I wanted to break down and cry at the thought of even seeing the day when I get this condition. I hope I don’t. J2- It is pointless to even remember and distinguish one melody to another. It’s now feels completely wrong to even try and focus on which melody of the two is currently playing, and the patient gives up trying to do so. J3- The one coherent lyric to take away from this: “How did she wind at this lonely tree? Far removed from who she thought she be; lost and living in her history.” The patient is far removed from any sense of hope, becoming lost to history and time itself. J4- The song is now starting to become barely familiar. It doesn’t even sound the same anymore, drifting further apart from the patient. J5- The bumper and the song feels like the patient is now sitting in purgatory. And the bumper that plays at 1:35:45 was unexpected. The one line that stood out to me: “In Paradise.” And like I said before, Paradise will soon fall and crumble. J6- Otherworldly. It sounds like it came from a movie; I would not be surprised if it did. J7- I don’t know how to describe this one. It gives me feelings that I don’t know how to explain in words. J8- I wasn’t expecting At The End Of Love to be played here, but I do appreciate the symbolism here. Sure, other melodies are played, but we are now reaching the end of both love and delirium. It is now time to stop holding on and just simply…let go. J9- All sense of recollection has come to an end. This is now The Story of Paradise Lost as it sinks into the Great Sea of Blackness, never to resurface again. This was probably the best album that I have ever listened to. Many of the songs were good, but my favorites from each side were: G7-G9, H1, H6, H7, I1, I5, I8, J3, J5, J8, and J9. This album carried a wide spectrum of emotions, and it was just heartbreaking to hear the entirety of the J-Side. I cannot wait to see what you guys did with Years 5-8. Cheers. -Lacey
Fun fact: The one who made this comment (Lacey) uploaded on her "reviewing EATEOT fan-projects" playlist Natmos:r ce year 4 as soom as it was uploaded (Idk why this is supposed to be fun but well here it is anyways)
The way I1 has little to no reverb at the start feels like a moment of calm, before Alzheimer's literally straight up destroys the memory, truly horrifying.
One detail I like is that you're not releasing this in the different stages of dementia, but years. EATEOT's only real indication of time passing was the length of the album itself and assumptions based on how the disease progresses. This comes out and reminds you of a harsh reality; people often suffer with the disease for YEARS. Some people can live with Alzheimer's for more than a decade. It's a mercy to have something else take you. Something that adds more despair to an album full of hopelessness. Amazing work to everyone involved. You guys blew the original NATMOS out of the water with this. It hits even harder after losing my great uncle to it last month.
Damn, you’ve created probably the most foreboding and scary depiction of Stage 3 I think I’ve heard. Stage 3 in these kinds of projects are usually my favorite parts because they showcase the craft these artists would display in broad aces. While it’s isn’t Stage 3 but 4, I am immensely impressed by your craftsmanship. That transition away from the coherence of the three last albums and into the more abstract, dark, chaotic and harsh noise art is subtly brilliant. I love how there are moments of lucidity. So emotional and devastating. I am eagerly waiting and excitedly dreading the rest of this apocalypse of the mind.
I have little else to praise you all on, because it's still on display here. Nor do I have much criticism to offer, because while this isn't faithful to the original, I'd be much happier if every project was like this. I thought I was going to balk at this being a double album, but looking back on it I'm glad you chose to do this. I've always thought these parts of fan projects are the strongest, if only because pulling emotion from a song while still mangling it is a tricky act to pull off. Here, it's all on display. I particularly adore the sort of 'remission' G7 through H6, where G7 opens with this glorious, almost angelic chorus before collapsing back into itself several songs later. That being said, I hope this is the only album that handles content similar to the original's S3. A huge spectrum of emotions have been covered, so much extra feels almost like overkill. That doesn't, though, mean I hope you jump to S4 immediately! The transition between S3 and S4 is so abrupt, even in the original, that it kind of divides the albums in an almost unfair method. While I absolutely am not the only audience member, riding the line between recall and decay for a bit longer is something I would love to see. Don't let us realize we're in S4/S5 until it's already upon us!
“How did she wind up at this lonely tree, farm removed from who she’d thought she’d be, lost and living in her history.” I’m glad you noticed it too for it ties into dementia so well
Ive came back to this numerous times in the couple of years and i have to say this year is genuinely so mysterious and so.. cool at the same time. G-H side really feels like a genuine "just let it happen" feel and i fucking love it. It kinda has that raw feel of what this whole decline feels without the denial, the resistance, it just feels like letting it happen without caring but enjoying every moment that can still come up. I/J side on the other hand feels like a final attempt at really doing any form of resistance (I1/I2 in particular) but now that engine from before, while already messed up and falling apart, just doesn't want to start anymore. Its like kinda a realization of "fuck- I can't get out of this". While still falling apart. Feels alot more desperate and wishes it can get back before the disease takes over again but with no avail. Love this year alot, cant wait for the complete edition.
I’m so happy that I got to contribute to the project! I’ve learned so much from hanging around the Discord, and it’s been a pleasure. I look forward to see what you and everyone else creates and puts in for the next few years.
I like how this project made stage 3/year 4 Like..year 4 has 36 tracks,Which makes sense because this is the mid point,which makes it completely different from the other lucidity years/stages
This is, by far, one of the best EATEOT inspired albums I have ever heard. I honestly don't think anyone else will be able to top it...ever really. Keep up the great work!
Millennials when G9: Dancing to that plastic beat NATMOS when G9: Dreaming of reaching clarity All jokes aside this one sounds so hollowed out hearing the original and NATMOS take on it and it’s utterly saddening..The deeper I delve into this album the more I feel like this patient won’t put up as great of a fight as the one in NATMOS did, but I suppose we’ll see. So far i’m loving the work and covers!
I1 really screams “NATMOS” in this one. It isn’t the same sample, but the feeling is there. The words at the end was kind of interesting to me because it was as if the patient had forgotten the bumper so they had to compile something before it was too late.
34:45 and 41:06 This might be irrelevant to most, but, in a way, these melodies make me remember my paternal grandmother as much as I can, after her passing, I tried hard not to forget her, but something screams at me that her memory is destined to be lost, and I'm already starting to lose faith. I didn't know that she would die of a heart attack, IN THE BATHROOM OF HER HOUSE, DAMN, IN HER BATHROOM!,at least she deserved to die in her bed, while she sleeps in peace, but that's not how it happened, and that MAKES ME RAGE. By the way, due to the pandemic, my family had to cremate her in a funeral home, and where is the urn with my grandmother's ashes? My father's sister has it, but I doubt she respects what's inside.
J9, I1 and G1 hit like a truck G1 is basically knowing what will happen to you and you decide to create the happiest *memories one last time* I1 is getting all the force to keep with the iniciative J9 ...
Couldn't be more impressed. This has got to be my favorite so far, been stalking the production through the server, and lord... you all did an amazing job on this one.
I really love this one something about it makes it feel unknown, like unpredictable. It can change so quickly from still audible music to more distorted and I love it. I know thats your main goal here as we enter J1, and how the track starts so... distorted, confusing, as its literally the monster showing itself for the first time after the damage it caused, and although yes it shows how it starts so confusing then it starts its tune and song but still eroded but not as good as this. Great job man. Keep up the good work.
Keuring, after getting to the second album, it further and further reminds me of synthwave and dreamcore where it isn't music simply distorted with looping like late stage 3. You have a very unique opportunity depending on who makes the near blissful tracks to potentially add things like I9 to the cluster of noises and barraging to potentially push people a tiny bit more
Wow, the last few tracks of this album are really emotional, and their style sets up y5 to be really unique. I swear I just heard Woody from Toy Story say “You” (are not a toy) on J8
There's a Who sample in this! A Quick One While He's Away, although I can't tell which section the sample is taken from. I want to say Forgiven (the final section) based on the sudden climax right before the loop, but I'm not confident on that. I'm just happy a song from my favourite band's been used. I really wasn't expecting The Who to pop up in *any* fan project, to be honest. Much less one focusing on a victim who presumably grew up in the late 70's/early 80's based on the samples used. I would've expected a song from their 'big 3' (Tommy, Who's Next and Quadrophenia) if anything, not a song from one of their less well known albums (from 1966, at least a decade before most of the other samples, although Shine On is from 75). It's a surprise, to be sure, but a very welcome one.
Glad to see that my sub from sep got in! Im gonna listen to this fully tonight. Hopefully il be back in fpcord just in time to get a sub out for Y5 and Y6.
A few thoughts on this album The beginning of G1 is such a harrowing opener and the main track itself has so much dread surrounding it G2 sounds completely torn from a bright memory to despairing trembling fingers G3 shows a weird false happiness beat with a sense of delusion One of the best bangers is definitely G4 and idk what else to say In G5 it feels like you’re sitting down in sadness as your brain continues to fail, externally you look fine but on the inside nothing is fine G6 is all sorts of fucked up but still has a clear emotion of wanting to hold on (omg funny original namos reference🤪) G7 claims that you were able to discover hidden happiness but in reality as shown by the track name just being the sample name but with a word off it’s really a display of how you’re having trouble with simple sentences and phrases G8 is scary man like the decaying piano with echoing bird noises paired with panning bg noise progressively losing hope G9 I think is supposed to be a sort of clarity, still pretty messed up with that echo but definitely clearer compared to the previous 3 tracks, maybe a last feeling that you can go back H1 dashes all that hope with a completely incomprehensible bumper and depressing music following, you won’t see the end of this storm H2 is like you’re trying to do a normal task but you just keep trailing off and forgetting what you’re in the middle of, even when someone tries to remind you, you can’t get back on track and eventually walk away with more frustration that you’re losing the ability to function more and more by the day (also banger) H3 is peaceful but you know it’s not what it should be H4 is calm at first but with frequent interruptions to the flow your words are slowly losing meaning to the ears of anyone who bothers to try listening H5 is usual pitch zaniness at first but the second half of the loop sounds enraged, possibly attempting to showcase the beggining of more severe changes in mood H6 sounds like cjd a2 🫠 In H7 you look out the window, the glass of which is beginning to crack at the edges, and the clouds are larger than before. There’s almost nothing to do now but wait. (Also I just now realized this is A2 💀) H8 is another banger but the beats are becoming more soulless. Also wtf is that groaning H9 has a totally bewildered beginning followed by total loss of hope and will to carry on I1 starts of pretty coherently, nothing that special but at least you can understand it. Then everything jumps out at once and you know you’ve finally regained everything in this very emo banger. The track ends with an unidentifiable whisper of something bringing any extravagance to a close as a drone takes over once more. I2 is the same as G6 but it definitely seems like your ability to even feel is becoming blurred I3 is kinda a banger but has no real sense behind the echoing beats and occasional piano and I like that I4 is another tragic type of clearness that you try to spend with your lover as the sun sets and the wind surrounding your shrinking home picks up I5 sounds like you just got up with no idea what you were doing and simply broke something and you slowly go back to reality and realize what you just did as a familiar song fades in I6 is very confused and shattered as you try to build up something to protect you from the impending downpour but it’s no use as it keeps falling to pieces as the ceiling begins to cave in Tbh idk what the fuck I should say about I7 😐 I8 is a few descending notes that blend with each other and your failure to properly comprehend it makes it seem longer than it actually is, as if you can remember more than you actually do I9 is truly heartbreaking with a lonely tune that almost invokes feelings of a childhood. Every time you ever saw yourself was leading up to where you are now. You can’t remember a date that someone was able to hang around with you… You’d hear his voice… The guy with the purple circles said so many things, but what was he saying when you took a photo? He had taken 5… Why were you talking with him? Why did that one break a promise? Who helped you with all the tiny squares with the words and numbers? And who… is the impostor? (Yeah you should only take the first sentence of this one seriously) J1 is damn scary starting with more talking you can’t understand with thunder interrupting followed by a lonely song that ends with a drone followed by crackling that breaks everything inside of you J2 is showing that it’s becoming pointless to even try to remember. Sometimes the background noise stops and you can focus for a bit before ending up back where you started. In J3 the past can’t even be revisited. A foggy voice tries to pull you back in, but it’s no use. J4 sounds like a different beat than the tracks of the same song. It pounds with a steady rhythm as you try to bring back what’s rapidly drifting away from you. J5 has a pretty good bumper too, especially with the instrumental portion that suddenly bounces into a coherent piano portion where you can still tell that something is off. The calmness is intercepted by a voice that seems to be melting repeating over itself. That eventually stops but the memory begins feeling more desperate to continue. This feels like the time you’d use to give your final lengthy goodbyes to who you hold dear. J6 sounds otherworldly at first but eventually transitions to a song that keeps suddenly cutting off with a lot of weird pitch stuff. It’s grand but it’s not enough. J7 is where many memories overlap in a way similar to usual post awareness. This is when the cracks in the window meet in the middle as small shards begin falling out. Throughout J8 you turn away from the rage of the storm and towards a remaining picture you took with your family. You try your all to remember their faces, with a fragment of a name being recalled. You can no longer regain any of them and the wind knocks the picture off the shelf and it breaks into fragments of people as the rain starts dripping through a crack forming along the walls. J9 is when everything feels the way it should be. Maybe this was meant to happen. It’s not worth trying to fight it. The wind is so powerful the walls of your house creak and immediately tumble over, your roof crashes down, the window that used to be the only thing between you and the storm crumbles and the rushing waves sweep you away and you sink beneath the surface. In the distance you can hear your favorite radio announcer speaking. Knew? Knew years?! That took so long to type damn
commenting 2 months late but hi jorb, just finna say a double album is something i dint expect in a caretaker fan project. that aside g7 bops, and i cant wait to see year 5.
I didn't really realize that j6 is a song from Mr.bean movie,I thought this is a mix of some cartoons openings,thanks the guy who typed the comment with original name samples.
I love how G7 samples a "Lost-Wave" song. Even though it was found recently, it works surprisingly well with the context of this album. This and F1 from the NATMOS is amazing with the context. Like how it sounds familiar but can't remember the song or band name, like how Lost-Wave songs sounds familiar but no one knows who made it.
I was gonna use everyone knows than one my fp lol (if you want to hear what ekt, well I guess eki sounds like in PA, I have it archived on one of my shorts)
I like how J6 samples “mission improbable” from the mr bean film, even if it has no lyrics, the name of the song kinda works as a metaphor of some sorts
And we'll likely enjoy every minute. minute. minute. -St of the reflecting good Washington Monument of the capital down beyond. beyond. beyond. beyond.
how the f did my track make it in, i made it back in december when i sucked at making caretaker-music (i still do) but i'm glad too see it in nonetheless. happy year 4!
Don't put yourself like that, keep on going and you'll be marvelous at this. The track you made was also very good and made me write of my analysis on what it may represent. H9: "Sunlight emerged" takes a twist on the conceptuality and symbolism of the Sun itself. The Sun is known worldwide to be the source of light, warmth and, by extension, life itself. Without the Sun, the Earth would be nothing but a barren, lifeless and cold floating rock in endless space. This track evokes feelings in contrast to what the Sun is supposed to represent. It’s cold, dark, sinister, and terrifying. It’s as though the patient’s understanding of their life and anything positive that came with it had been turned upside down. Their fight to remain in the light had been a losing one from the start and had lost so much of their past self to their monstrous condition. At this point any source of “light” that comes in the patient’s way would be seen as a sign of life and bliss in a vast, endless, expanse of chaos and decay. However, it would have been a long time since the Sun rose and illuminated the sky and the Earth with it's glory. All they would see are storm clouds and the ground relentlessly showered by constant black, freezing cold water.
so i'm finally listening through this now, something i've been meaning to do for a long time but just never did i've heard that this feels like it's too long and i'm saying now that doenst feel like that's the case, because almost all of the tracks are amazing and it doesnt just feel like filler if i had any complaints about this it'd be the distortions that sound like a BSOD but that's entirely a personal thing
Oh shoot how did I not notice this-?? Gotta listen to it some time- Literally the first track sounds so dull- (in a good way tho-) it basically describes me sometimes when I'm feeling dull And also what's the meaning of this? 51:10 is this like a new stage or some kind of clarity state? (By the way basically most of this section or this whole stage/year sounds- just way too off- like something's uncertain or not okay-) Edit: Bruh G4 is a bop ngl 🔥

I like to imagine that every memory involving the radio broadcasts is a transition in time as well. Going from a home to rehab, back again and finally to an assisted living facility. Eventually left with a drifting mind and their thoughts with every day as a blur.
You would do great in humanities
@@jasebiosr.9661 I think it's more self explanatory with flowery (probably unnecessarily so) language
The bumpers and my interpretations because i fucking love Year 4
G1 - America's Bicentennial, 1978
The patient feels trapped, in Y3 the claustrophobic sense its introduced so this, apart from representing that the patient its enjoying any lucidity, it might represent the feeling of being trapped with no way out considering that the US is considered the Freedom country and the song its FREE as a bird
H1 - The Harlem Riots of 1964
I like to consider this one an "Early life regression" kind of bumper, since the patient might be remembering the voice from a long time ago, the title "Storm Always End" sounds like the patient's mother told him when there was a storm to calm him down, that its a consistent theme on NATMOS:R (C1, E1, Tornado Warning in Y5)
J1 - Ronald Reagan's "A Time For Choosing" Speech, 1964 (Spoiler Alert)
the part used its the intro since you can hear the applause, Reagan talks about the concept of "using its own words" so it can represent the patient starting to lose ability to talk properly, the delay also makes the voice sound like stuttering, so it reinforces my theory, the song that plays after, Leaving Memories Behind, comes from Testament, which its about a nuclear blast that the protagonists we're just far enough to not be destroyed by it, the bomb being deployed by the soviet union, which Reagan referred as an "Evil Empire" in 1983, same year Testament was released, all of this connects this to the cold war as a contrast with the possible WW2 references in EATEOT
(got pretty long but in my defense i love this track lmao)
J5 - PSA Protect and Survive (About Nuclear Bombs) and movie clips from Club Med
The voice when sped up talks about being better off with your family in case you survive a nuclear bomb, the patient its trying to hold to any possible hope that this will end soon, the most interesting and coherent clip its a barely hearable "In Paradise" which can reference Another Day In Paradise, also Club Med its a movie about vacations so its possible that the attempt to recall summer vacations failed and led to that kind of drowning effect,
J6 - ABC news tonight, December 1999, Movie clips from Bean: The Movie, 1997
all the samples can be considered from the timeframe of the late 90's, a interesting time since that was the awaited millennium change, the ABC broadcast its about the Y2K, which was a threatened to struck the world heavily, and it was from December 1999, close to the year's end, its pretty clever since NATMOS:R uses years instead of stages, and its a really late track, the music feels pretty heroic in some moments, but also stopping suddenly like the heroic effort its being crushed by the fog
"And we likely enjoy every minute-minute-minute..."
Dude the beginning of Year 4 is brilliant,
Patient is aware about his dementia diagnosis and enjoy every minute of any memory he can remember
You got it! That was the purpose. The seemingly random bumpers all have a meaning and purpose to them.

Year 4 (Stage 3)
"And we'll likely enjoy every minute... minute... minute... across the reflecting pool of the Washington Monument and the Capitol down beyond... beyond beyond... beyond beyond beyond... beyond beyond..."
Part I Artwork: A film projector, although the shape makes it too hard to tell what this thing actually is.
Part I:
This part is where the distortion truly begins to settle in. Dark ambient and missing parts of tracks are found within the different parts. Soon, the patient will forget that they have dementia altogether.
Part II Artwork: A radio or a Walkman. Extremely distorted, it does not look like a radio or Walkman, but you can recognize the antenna and headphone jack. It is hanging on a curved bar, which goes through the power light, which is still on somehow.
Part II:
The last attempt to remember before confusion sets in. The attempt is a failure, as the tracks are considerably more distorted, and become almost unrecognizable at the end to their former selves, as the patient enters Year 5.
G4 stands out from the rest, while it sounds so clear and so different from the rest of the tracks, it still gives off a big disturbing feeling for me
1 year has passed and this still being one of my favourite representations of stage 3, I'm so happy that I was able to follow this album since it's first years

Hello, I am Adler Thebes, formerly known as ItsBladeHere. I am responsible for that droning you heard at the end of J8. It was a honor to be included on such an emotional work. Expect me to work in this community more in the future.
Giving this a gradual relisten and I8 surprisingly connects with me more than it did before. The later parts of I side (I8 especially) feel less like a storm, and more like...drowning.
Like your ship was being dragged in by the intake of the storm, and the waves prevented any escape long before you noticed you were moving towards it. Like the boat's capsizing - like the waters below are slowly dragging you under and your arms are just...so tired. Any anxiety and fear you felt is diluted by the fact that you're too exhausted to even feel fear anymore.
I8 feels like the moment where the struggle starts to stop. Directly preceding it is I7, which feels emotionless and incoherent - like a half-hearted attempt at something the protagonist knows will fail. I8's remarkably clear sound compared to the rest of I side and the tracks that follow it makes it feel less like a memory and more like a feeling. It feels like the death of the defiant, hopelessly optimistic attitude of enjoying every minute - because you can't even string together the minutes anymore. All attempts to recall consciously just lead to more and more degradation and you're just- you're sick of it.
You're so, so tired.
beautiful interpretation
ok
and then J1 is despair, judging by the bumper.
@@Unnamed86 maybe the bumper in J1 really does have a meaning - “A Time for Choosing” as in choosing whether to give up, or to keep defying the disease.
Wonder what your thoughts about I9 are then. I consider it to be one of the best tracks in general in NATMOSR.
theres a cool audio trick that i dont know the name of in the bumper around 0:04
you can replicate this by duplicating a sample, and making one of them slightly slower than the other one
J1 Has to be my favourite, Jordan fucking killed it with this album as a whole, the ending almost made me cry. Great work, Caretakers.
" …And we'll likely enjoy every minute- *minute- minute-* …Must the reflecting pool of the Washington monument and the capital dome beyond- *beyond- beyond- beyond- beyond-* "
*beyond- beyond- beyond- beyond- beyond- beyond- beyond-*
I1 legit a banger, the last best memory to end not even abruptly, but a drone as the song's structure is left fading out. Tragic. Almost as sad as F2.
Fun fact: The sample's name is *Remembering* (by OMEGA)
dear god Keuring having this pop up in my recommended at 12am after reading news headlines for fifteen minutes was not what I needed. On a side note this feels like a different sort of delirium at the beginning before erupting into the familiar sense of reverbed drunkenness seen most from stage 3 albums

This project is CRIMINALLY underrated- I've been here since the first releases of NATMOS (before the remasters AND the redux) and I'm genuinely floored by the increase of production quality. Like, the art, the choice of samples, the overall aesthetic is SO WELL pieced together that despite going a different direction from EATEOT, it feels so much more like it in spirit than the previous renditions. I'm looking forward to Year 5, with 8 years planned it's honestly very difficult to imagine how things will go from there and that's so exciting!
As Stage 3 is my favorite of the original EATEOT and NATMOS albums, I'm very happy to see the above and beyond treatment for this. And I'm very happy to see you further degrade a track I posted, that's super cool
Year Four. The release date is February 27th, 2022. Four years remaining.
G1- The bumper and the song itself sounds so dreadful. Considering that the bumper is the America’s Bicentennial, and that the song is Free As A Bird, makes it seem like the patient wants to escape and break out of the condition, but that’s not happening. The minutes of lucidity are running out.
G2- A1 makes a comeback, but sounds rather broken and unstable. What used to sound peaceful is now becoming desperate and gloomy.
G3- This track to me sounds like it carries a false sense of happiness with the patient becoming more dead on the inside.
G4- While this is one of the more coherent tracks of Year 4, it still has a disturbing tone to it.
G5- The patient is now lost in his thoughts, looking fine externally. But internally? Not in the slightest.
G6- The first track in the entirety of NATMOS:R that goes out one ear to another. This memory is all sorts of corrupted, but the patient is trying his hardest to hold onto it.
G7- Considering the original song was called Fond My Mind before becoming Feels Like A Wish, it seems like the patient didn’t want this song to be lost forever. But soon, he will be lost amongst the chaos.
G8- I’ve listened to this track many times, and I still have no idea when it actually dies down. This memory died long before it got the chance to flourish.
G9- Plastic Love. Considering that D2 in the original was called ‘Clarity just out of reach’, and that this track is called ‘Fantasy reaches of Fantasy’, I’d like to think that the patient is trying to reach clarity, but lost in the fantasy that he will succeed in doing so.
H1- And this track confirms it. With that title, I’m not so sure if the patient will make it out of the storm alive. Storms do end, but not this one.
H2- Rather similar to both G4 and G6, this track carried the strongest feelings of dread and uncertainty yet.
H3- The song itself just sounds creepy without even trying. And the ending caught me off guard the first time I heard it.
H4- Free Falling. The song is desperately trying to be happy, but at the end of it, the patient falls back into the Great Sea of Blackness, never giving him any chance to swim back up.
H5- Mentally, the mind is beginning to just collapse. And physical health will soon follow suit. That’s just a prediction, though it will happen sooner or later.
H6- In this struggle, it is becoming harder to find and remember the meaning in most things, and it is getting harder to stand defiant and tall…Making Love Out Of Nothing At All.
H7- Clouds swell approaching. I think that it is referring to storm clouds. Another Day in Paradise plays and sounds like there is hope in all of this. But it ends, and the condition continues to chip away at the hope the patient has.
H8- Soulless. It really is not the same as it used to be. It sounds upbeat, but is overall soulless.
H9- This track is rather scary, reminding the patient that the minutes to be “enjoyed” are becoming increasingly limited, and that there is no turning back now. The patient is now trapped in his own mind.
I1- The last memory to be coherent before dementia comes in and tears it from the patient’s grasp, ending with a drone to represent its dying structure.
I2- G6, but is far more corrupted than it used to be. Feelings are now starting to become a blur.
I3- To me, this is rather uncanny. The signs of true decay are beginning to show, with pure emptiness filling the air.
I4- Our Last Sun, a title too fitting for a track once again. The song itself is clear, but becomes more corrupted near the end of it, like the sun fading into the night.
I5- The struggle to fight against himself is becoming more impossible. H4 makes a comeback, reminding the patient that this fight is pointless; he is only delaying his demise.
I6- The song itself is trying to be jovial and upbeat, but far too chaotic and destroyed to try to comprehend. Yet, the patient can remember some of how it goes. Some.
I7- This one sounds like something that would play in my nightmares. Maybe this one will tonight, who knows?
I8- Make It Like A Memory. What used to be a night to remember and a memory to remain defiant in the face of Dementia itself is now something that doesn’t feel like it is worth remembering anymore. The patient’s arms are tired, and he is about ready to give in to the Great Sea of Blackness.
I9- The patient is now starting to wonder why he is still here in this moment. Why it’s even worth trying to keep going. The patient is just tired. So tired.
J1- I can’t even understand what is even being said here, and I think that was intentional. Like the patient, I wanted to break down and cry at the thought of even seeing the day when I get this condition. I hope I don’t.
J2- It is pointless to even remember and distinguish one melody to another. It’s now feels completely wrong to even try and focus on which melody of the two is currently playing, and the patient gives up trying to do so.
J3- The one coherent lyric to take away from this: “How did she wind at this lonely tree? Far removed from who she thought she be; lost and living in her history.” The patient is far removed from any sense of hope, becoming lost to history and time itself.
J4- The song is now starting to become barely familiar. It doesn’t even sound the same anymore, drifting further apart from the patient.
J5- The bumper and the song feels like the patient is now sitting in purgatory. And the bumper that plays at 1:35:45 was unexpected. The one line that stood out to me: “In Paradise.” And like I said before, Paradise will soon fall and crumble.
J6- Otherworldly. It sounds like it came from a movie; I would not be surprised if it did.
J7- I don’t know how to describe this one. It gives me feelings that I don’t know how to explain in words.
J8- I wasn’t expecting At The End Of Love to be played here, but I do appreciate the symbolism here. Sure, other melodies are played, but we are now reaching the end of both love and delirium. It is now time to stop holding on and just simply…let go.
J9- All sense of recollection has come to an end. This is now The Story of Paradise Lost as it sinks into the Great Sea of Blackness, never to resurface again.
This was probably the best album that I have ever listened to. Many of the songs were good, but my favorites from each side were: G7-G9, H1, H6, H7, I1, I5, I8, J3, J5, J8, and J9. This album carried a wide spectrum of emotions, and it was just heartbreaking to hear the entirety of the J-Side. I cannot wait to see what you guys did with Years 5-8. Cheers.
-Lacey
Wow this is amazing
Also, J6 does come from a film - that being Mr Bean, and so does J1 and the 2nd “bumper” in J5
Fun fact: The one who made this comment (Lacey) uploaded on her "reviewing EATEOT fan-projects" playlist Natmos:r ce year 4 as soom as it was uploaded (Idk why this is supposed to be fun but well here it is anyways)
That opening set of lines. It caught me of guard, I can't wait to see what's next.
Edit: I1 Slaps really hard too.
The way I1 has little to no reverb at the start feels like a moment of calm, before Alzheimer's literally straight up destroys the memory, truly horrifying.
One detail I like is that you're not releasing this in the different stages of dementia, but years. EATEOT's only real indication of time passing was the length of the album itself and assumptions based on how the disease progresses. This comes out and reminds you of a harsh reality; people often suffer with the disease for YEARS. Some people can live with Alzheimer's for more than a decade. It's a mercy to have something else take you.
Something that adds more despair to an album full of hopelessness. Amazing work to everyone involved. You guys blew the original NATMOS out of the water with this. It hits even harder after losing my great uncle to it last month.
I'm extremely sorry to hear about the passing of your great uncle. I'm glad you enjoy our project here, and I hope it brings you happiness.
The I4 music, Our Last Sun, is extremely good, moving even
I’m dreading Year 5. This is scaring me out of my wits already…this is very well made
post awareness
Damn, you’ve created probably the most foreboding and scary depiction of Stage 3 I think I’ve heard. Stage 3 in these kinds of projects are usually my favorite parts because they showcase the craft these artists would display in broad aces. While it’s isn’t Stage 3 but 4, I am immensely impressed by your craftsmanship. That transition away from the coherence of the three last albums and into the more abstract, dark, chaotic and harsh noise art is subtly brilliant. I love how there are moments of lucidity. So emotional and devastating. I am eagerly waiting and excitedly dreading the rest of this apocalypse of the mind.
No this is Stage 3, check the description.
@@JordanKeuring I know, I meant stage 3 in spirit.
I have little else to praise you all on, because it's still on display here. Nor do I have much criticism to offer, because while this isn't faithful to the original, I'd be much happier if every project was like this. I thought I was going to balk at this being a double album, but looking back on it I'm glad you chose to do this. I've always thought these parts of fan projects are the strongest, if only because pulling emotion from a song while still mangling it is a tricky act to pull off. Here, it's all on display. I particularly adore the sort of 'remission' G7 through H6, where G7 opens with this glorious, almost angelic chorus before collapsing back into itself several songs later.
That being said, I hope this is the only album that handles content similar to the original's S3. A huge spectrum of emotions have been covered, so much extra feels almost like overkill. That doesn't, though, mean I hope you jump to S4 immediately! The transition between S3 and S4 is so abrupt, even in the original, that it kind of divides the albums in an almost unfair method. While I absolutely am not the only audience member, riding the line between recall and decay for a bit longer is something I would love to see. Don't let us realize we're in S4/S5 until it's already upon us!
Slowly listening to the originals of all the samples. Props to whoever did J3….such a random unknown song, but the lyrics are PERFECT for this stage
“How did she wind up at this lonely tree,
farm removed from who she’d thought she’d be,
lost and living in her history.”
I’m glad you noticed it too for it ties into dementia so well
Ive came back to this numerous times in the couple of years and i have to say this year is genuinely so mysterious and so.. cool at the same time. G-H side really feels like a genuine "just let it happen" feel and i fucking love it. It kinda has that raw feel of what this whole decline feels without the denial, the resistance, it just feels like letting it happen without caring but enjoying every moment that can still come up. I/J side on the other hand feels like a final attempt at really doing any form of resistance (I1/I2 in particular) but now that engine from before, while already messed up and falling apart, just doesn't want to start anymore. Its like kinda a realization of "fuck- I can't get out of this". While still falling apart. Feels alot more desperate and wishes it can get back before the disease takes over again but with no avail. Love this year alot, cant wait for the complete edition.
really loved J7,and J8 cuz they both represent very early versions of post-awareness
Was not expecting a double album. Also, anybody noticing the art is getting more modern and, dare I say, futuristic even?

All jokes aside this one sounds so hollowed out hearing the original and NATMOS take on it and it’s utterly saddening..The deeper I delve into this album the more I feel like this patient won’t put up as great of a fight as the one in NATMOS did, but I suppose we’ll see. So far i’m loving the work and covers!
I1 really screams “NATMOS” in this one. It isn’t the same sample, but the feeling is there. The words at the end was kind of interesting to me because it was as if the patient had forgotten the bumper so they had to compile something before it was too late.
34:45 and 41:06
This might be irrelevant to most, but, in a way, these melodies make me remember my paternal grandmother as much as I can, after her passing, I tried hard not to forget her, but something screams at me that her memory is destined to be lost, and I'm already starting to lose faith.
I didn't know that she would die of a heart attack, IN THE BATHROOM OF HER HOUSE, DAMN, IN HER BATHROOM!,at least she deserved to die in her bed, while she sleeps in peace, but that's not how it happened, and that MAKES ME RAGE.
By the way, due to the pandemic, my family had to cremate her in a funeral home, and where is the urn with my grandmother's ashes? My father's sister has it, but I doubt she respects what's inside.
I'm the person who made 41:06
Rest in peace to her.

And even to this day these 2 albums are bangers
(Most tracks,some are too sad or scary to be called bangers)
Couldn't be more impressed. This has got to be my favorite so far, been stalking the production through the server, and lord... you all did an amazing job on this one.
I really love this one something about it makes it feel unknown, like unpredictable. It can change so quickly from still audible music to more distorted and I love it. I know thats your main goal here as we enter J1, and how the track starts so... distorted, confusing, as its literally the monster showing itself for the first time after the damage it caused, and although yes it shows how it starts so confusing then it starts its tune and song but still eroded but not as good as this. Great job man. Keep up the good work.
Can’t wait for tonight so I can finally listen to this masterpiece.
Keuring, after getting to the second album, it further and further reminds me of synthwave and dreamcore where it isn't music simply distorted with looping like late stage 3. You have a very unique opportunity depending on who makes the near blissful tracks to potentially add things like I9 to the cluster of noises and barraging to potentially push people a tiny bit more
Wow, the last few tracks of this album are really emotional, and their style sets up y5 to be really unique. I swear I just heard Woody from Toy Story say “You” (are not a toy) on J8

@@crabbycrabsofcrab7331 Oh jeez that DOES sound like Tom Hanks' voice.
I think the voice comes from the beginning section of Simply Red's "Money's Too Tight To Mention". Does sound like it though.
There's a Who sample in this! A Quick One While He's Away, although I can't tell which section the sample is taken from. I want to say Forgiven (the final section) based on the sudden climax right before the loop, but I'm not confident on that.
I'm just happy a song from my favourite band's been used. I really wasn't expecting The Who to pop up in *any* fan project, to be honest. Much less one focusing on a victim who presumably grew up in the late 70's/early 80's based on the samples used.
I would've expected a song from their 'big 3' (Tommy, Who's Next and Quadrophenia) if anything, not a song from one of their less well known albums (from 1966, at least a decade before most of the other samples, although Shine On is from 75). It's a surprise, to be sure, but a very welcome one.
It's H5, in case you were wondering.
I1 is so heartbreaking. It isn't the last coherent memory, but it's the last grand one in my eyes
so far so good. Im very much enjoying the "Redux" although Im kinda worried as to how intense the PA stages will be. Thanks for the Remake Jordan!
Glad to see that my sub from sep got in! Im gonna listen to this fully tonight. Hopefully il be back in fpcord just in time to get a sub out for Y5 and Y6.

A few thoughts on this album
The beginning of G1 is such a harrowing opener and the main track itself has so much dread surrounding it
G2 sounds completely torn from a bright memory to despairing trembling fingers
G3 shows a weird false happiness beat with a sense of delusion
One of the best bangers is definitely G4 and idk what else to say
In G5 it feels like you’re sitting down in sadness as your brain continues to fail, externally you look fine but on the inside nothing is fine
G6 is all sorts of fucked up but still has a clear emotion of wanting to hold on (omg funny original namos reference🤪)
G7 claims that you were able to discover hidden happiness but in reality as shown by the track name just being the sample name but with a word off it’s really a display of how you’re having trouble with simple sentences and phrases
G8 is scary man like the decaying piano with echoing bird noises paired with panning bg noise progressively losing hope
G9 I think is supposed to be a sort of clarity, still pretty messed up with that echo but definitely clearer compared to the previous 3 tracks, maybe a last feeling that you can go back
H1 dashes all that hope with a completely incomprehensible bumper and depressing music following, you won’t see the end of this storm
H2 is like you’re trying to do a normal task but you just keep trailing off and forgetting what you’re in the middle of, even when someone tries to remind you, you can’t get back on track and eventually walk away with more frustration that you’re losing the ability to function more and more by the day (also banger)
H3 is peaceful but you know it’s not what it should be
H4 is calm at first but with frequent interruptions to the flow your words are slowly losing meaning to the ears of anyone who bothers to try listening
H5 is usual pitch zaniness at first but the second half of the loop sounds enraged, possibly attempting to showcase the beggining of more severe changes in mood
H6 sounds like cjd a2 🫠
In H7 you look out the window, the glass of which is beginning to crack at the edges, and the clouds are larger than before. There’s almost nothing to do now but wait. (Also I just now realized this is A2 💀)
H8 is another banger but the beats are becoming more soulless. Also wtf is that groaning
H9 has a totally bewildered beginning followed by total loss of hope and will to carry on
I1 starts of pretty coherently, nothing that special but at least you can understand it. Then everything jumps out at once and you know you’ve finally regained everything in this very emo banger. The track ends with an unidentifiable whisper of something bringing any extravagance to a close as a drone takes over once more.
I2 is the same as G6 but it definitely seems like your ability to even feel is becoming blurred
I3 is kinda a banger but has no real sense behind the echoing beats and occasional piano and I like that
I4 is another tragic type of clearness that you try to spend with your lover as the sun sets and the wind surrounding your shrinking home picks up
I5 sounds like you just got up with no idea what you were doing and simply broke something and you slowly go back to reality and realize what you just did as a familiar song fades in
I6 is very confused and shattered as you try to build up something to protect you from the impending downpour but it’s no use as it keeps falling to pieces as the ceiling begins to cave in
Tbh idk what the fuck I should say about I7 😐
I8 is a few descending notes that blend with each other and your failure to properly comprehend it makes it seem longer than it actually is, as if you can remember more than you actually do
I9 is truly heartbreaking with a lonely tune that almost invokes feelings of a childhood. Every time you ever saw yourself was leading up to where you are now. You can’t remember a date that someone was able to hang around with you… You’d hear his voice… The guy with the purple circles said so many things, but what was he saying when you took a photo? He had taken 5… Why were you talking with him? Why did that one break a promise? Who helped you with all the tiny squares with the words and numbers? And who… is the impostor? (Yeah you should only take the first sentence of this one seriously)
J1 is damn scary starting with more talking you can’t understand with thunder interrupting followed by a lonely song that ends with a drone followed by crackling that breaks everything inside of you
J2 is showing that it’s becoming pointless to even try to remember. Sometimes the background noise stops and you can focus for a bit before ending up back where you started.
In J3 the past can’t even be revisited. A foggy voice tries to pull you back in, but it’s no use.
J4 sounds like a different beat than the tracks of the same song. It pounds with a steady rhythm as you try to bring back what’s rapidly drifting away from you.
J5 has a pretty good bumper too, especially with the instrumental portion that suddenly bounces into a coherent piano portion where you can still tell that something is off. The calmness is intercepted by a voice that seems to be melting repeating over itself. That eventually stops but the memory begins feeling more desperate to continue. This feels like the time you’d use to give your final lengthy goodbyes to who you hold dear.
J6 sounds otherworldly at first but eventually transitions to a song that keeps suddenly cutting off with a lot of weird pitch stuff. It’s grand but it’s not enough.
J7 is where many memories overlap in a way similar to usual post awareness. This is when the cracks in the window meet in the middle as small shards begin falling out.
Throughout J8 you turn away from the rage of the storm and towards a remaining picture you took with your family. You try your all to remember their faces, with a fragment of a name being recalled. You can no longer regain any of them and the wind knocks the picture off the shelf and it breaks into fragments of people as the rain starts dripping through a crack forming along the walls.
J9 is when everything feels the way it should be. Maybe this was meant to happen. It’s not worth trying to fight it. The wind is so powerful the walls of your house creak and immediately tumble over, your roof crashes down, the window that used to be the only thing between you and the storm crumbles and the rushing waves sweep you away and you sink beneath the surface.
In the distance you can hear your favorite radio announcer speaking. Knew? Knew years?!
That took so long to type damn
g6 is a funiiuy namos referencerese?
probably gonna read this while I listen
omor
1 year update
namosr
from the first voice event i can already tell awareness in dieing out.
G7 sounds heavenly
dude G1, I1 and J5 are all bangers
commenting 2 months late but hi jorb, just finna say a double album is something i dint expect in a caretaker fan project. that aside g7 bops, and i cant wait to see year 5.
I noticed that the G - H album cover has a thing that looks like the Washington monument, just like what the guy said in the first track of Year 4.
its also got a geode looking thing and camera on it
According to phisigma, it is based off of a certain model of projector but now I can't unsee the Washington monument
It looks more like a snail too.
Washington monument snail
@@nw3473 yes
The first track is what waking up at 5am for school on Monday feels like in musical form
Sadly I’m speaking from experience
Me turning my alarm off 5 min before it’s supposed to ring and then going back to sleep
The minute I leave the server this releases :')
HAVE A DRINK
AND A GOOD TIME NOW
WELCOME TO PARADISE
I didn't really realize that j6 is a song from Mr.bean movie,I thought this is a mix of some cartoons openings,thanks the guy who typed the comment with original name samples.
man the I side (starts at 51:10) is just
I love the crackling in J8
I desperately want to know what that looping horn sample in the first bit of J7 is from
That part was mine, heehee. The sample is Welcome to Tijuana by Manu Chao.
Holy hell I love that art!
I love how G7 samples a "Lost-Wave" song. Even though it was found recently, it works surprisingly well with the context of this album. This and F1 from the NATMOS is amazing with the context. Like how it sounds familiar but can't remember the song or band name, like how Lost-Wave songs sounds familiar but no one knows who made it.
Everyone knows that not being in this project is a blessing in disguise
Wait, someone tried to make a submission with that? lol
@@TheTornadoMan Yeah Two were made I think
I was gonna use everyone knows than one my fp lol (if you want to hear what ekt, well I guess eki sounds like in PA, I have it archived on one of my shorts)
Side J is amazing!
i guessed right on the projector album cover!
Quick question but, do the artists involved have anywhere to view their art???
I like how J6 samples “mission improbable” from the mr bean film, even if it has no lyrics, the name of the song kinda works as a metaphor of some sorts
I went in! Holy shit! Track I used in that is "Raft Easily" by Rooftops
Good job Jordan, The creators of the songs, and the people who helped
Free as a Bird
I’m loving this
Isn't this taken from the fond my mind mixtape? I recognized the sample.
1:03:25
It is!
The covers are awesome, the first song hits hard and it is followed by the decline of the mind in a very smooth way, i am hyped for year 5.
Your profile picture perfectly describes The I - J side.
Incredible, just Incredible
And we'll likely enjoy every minute. minute. minute. -St of the reflecting good Washington Monument of the capital down beyond. beyond. beyond. beyond.
Realmente Un Trabajo Bien Hecho
(Además Las 10 Primeras Son Pegadizas)
how the f did my track make it in, i made it back in december when i sucked at making caretaker-music (i still do) but i'm glad too see it in nonetheless.
happy year 4!
Don't put yourself like that, keep on going and you'll be marvelous at this. The track you made was also very good and made me write of my analysis on what it may represent.
H9: "Sunlight emerged" takes a twist on the conceptuality and symbolism of the Sun itself. The Sun is known worldwide to be the source of light, warmth and, by extension, life itself. Without the Sun, the Earth would be nothing but a barren, lifeless and cold floating rock in endless space. This track evokes feelings in contrast to what the Sun is supposed to represent. It’s cold, dark, sinister, and terrifying. It’s as though the patient’s understanding of their life and anything positive that came with it had been turned upside down. Their fight to remain in the light had been a losing one from the start and had lost so much of their past self to their monstrous condition. At this point any source of “light” that comes in the patient’s way would be seen as a sign of life and bliss in a vast, endless, expanse of chaos and decay. However, it would have been a long time since the Sun rose and illuminated the sky and the Earth with it's glory. All they would see are storm clouds and the ground relentlessly showered by constant black, freezing cold water.
@@albert453able damn, thank you so much!
Cant wait for Year 5, because im interested what is gonna be there
so i'm finally listening through this now, something i've been meaning to do for a long time but just never did
i've heard that this feels like it's too long and i'm saying now that doenst feel like that's the case, because almost all of the tracks are amazing and it doesnt just feel like filler
if i had any complaints about this it'd be the distortions that sound like a BSOD but that's entirely a personal thing
the patients mind just crashed trying to remember a memory lmao
this album is the reason I used the Washington monument for cjd:me
i was on "Found my Mind" when i looked at the cover art and said huh looks like i found my mind.
NAMOOOOOOOOOOOOOS(r)!!!!
10/10 (so far). No further comment.
The only I heard in j5 a 1970s psa "protect and survive"-about how to survive the nuclear war?
washington artpiece
Is it just me or do I lose track of time and forget a lot more when I watch these?
I don't remember commenting this.
This is the first time I've ever finished a EaTEoT fan album.
@@powiadomiony natmos:r isn't even done yet
damn G1 is an absolute bop
wait G1 sounds like B4...
WAIT G1 IS B4
Oh shoot how did I not notice this-?? Gotta listen to it some time-
Literally the first track sounds so dull- (in a good way tho-) it basically describes me sometimes when I'm feeling dull
And also what's the meaning of this? 51:10 is this like a new stage or some kind of clarity state? (By the way basically most of this section or this whole stage/year sounds- just way too off- like something's uncertain or not okay-)
Edit: Bruh G4 is a bop ngl 🔥
J3 is amazing
