[@nate5292]

[Spoilers ahead.] I love, love, love, love these albums. By far my favorite of this genre. Every other one encapsulates that slow, struggling death. Taking on something insurmountable to you. So much bigger than you that you can't even fathom it. By the end, it's so powerful you can't even be terrified anymore of it, as it's taken your very mind from you. And not that death isn't real, and not that I don't like other projects of this delightfully strange little community, but the message is always that total crushing hopelessness. A moment of silence, a heart-monitor flatline, angellic choirs. Nobody makes it. There's only terror and infinite defeat. Every single battle is a loss. Watching those you love wither before you, or God forbid, being the witherer. Here there's that same panic, anxiety, fear, horror. A new but familiarly all-consuming madness. Anger and fear merging together, time losing meaning, thoughts themselves giving way to a brutal, practically irreversable delerium spurred on by the virus. All hope seems lost. It's a virtually 100% casualty rate, after all. But only virtually. The final moments brought me to tears. I expected a moment of silence, a flatline, like so many other albums, but by God there was only hope. By God, there can be a victory at the end of such a horrible fight. That terror melting away to those seconds of sweet clarity. You can feel the patient's eyes fluttering open in that hospital room, and for the first time in what feels like an eternity, their head is clear. No more screaming voices. No more boiling, searing pain in their head. No more madness -- their mind is finally flushed of its poison. All they feel is the sedatives wearing off. Like waking up from a terrible nightmare that feels like it's lasted years. It's so triumphant, so romantic. It epitomizes the human experience. Grueling against those odds despite everything. Fighting to the very last second. Virtually hopeless and yet still taking that chance, because you've got to, because that's what it means to be a human being. If you want to take my mind, you'll have to fight me for each damned neuron. The angry, brave human spirit gnashing its teeth, thrashing, kicking, biting. That one in a ten-trillion gamble and the patient won it. Man, in an exhausted bravery, standing triumphantly over a would-be undefeatable enemy. Clutching wounds, but by God, man has won. Man has won. It's a story told a million times, but here it is SO impactful. You can even picture it. The crying eyes of family members and friends, the amazed looks of the doctors. Crying people are hugging each other while the patient's eyes lazily scan the room. Machines beeping. The pleasant lo-fi guitar riff is like waking up from a nightmare. "I'm okay". But is the damage repairable? Will the patient need to relearn how to walk, talk, eat? Does that even matter? They *survived*. They beat the odds. Barely a handful of people have survived the Rabies virus thanks to the Milwaukee Protocol, and yet the patient is one of those few. A smile. Tears running down the face. Victory, victory, victory. This album isn't about death. It's about a fucking miracle. All of you who worked on this project, thank you. ❤

[@petertench-zw2ti]

The one thing the patient will forever be afraid of, is the nightmare returning, their entire life being just a temporary bliss state and everything crumbling back to the insanity of F1-G1, and then crumbling into nothing, with no possible escape, even the protocol. There's no way for him to know it's truly over. There's no way you can prove there's no remaining virus particles in your body just waiting for the right opportunity. You may only hope.

1:53:00 I like this cover. Represents how the patient of rabies is in the most fucked up bad trip that none human even with Datura + LSD + Salvia, (Datura and Salvia leaves some mental damage if you have a bad trip)has ever experimented. Destruction of ego and reality in the most negative way. A totally disturbing coincidence is that those who have done Datura trips report feeling incredible thirst but when they want to drink water they feel like they are drowning or chocking

[@petertench-zw2ti]

1:53:00 is the patient's reaction to 1:50:00 heh. Jokes aside, that cover basically means the patient's mind and sense of self went to /dev/null

[@petertench-zw2ti]

That's actually very interesting, since datura and rabies virus basically do the opposite things to the brain's neurotransmitters. Datura blocks cholinergic receptors, and without them, your saliva glands stop actually producing it, hence the extreme thirst. Rabies on the other hand does the opposite, it makes the saliva glands produce it constantly, to the point of the patient drowning in it, since he can't swallow.

[@petertench-zw2ti]

1:54:54 is probably even more dark, it looks like the patient's mind is shredded like a paper shredder (the kind used in offices).

[@Rokiotop900]

​@@petertench-zw2tiChoking on your own saliva when you are already extremely terrified of drinking liquids because you think you will drown is cruelty. Rabies never ceases to surprise

[@petertench-zw2ti]

@@Rokiotop900The reason of the spasm reaction in response to water is to prevent the drowning person or animal from inhaling water. This reaction is built into all animals, rabies and datura just turns it extremely hypersensitive to the point of being triggered just by seeing water or hearing the word "water", and even by wind or air.

I came here from somebody mentioning this in a comment section on a video about rabies. Initially, I thought 'haha lets listen to rabies music', I stayed for the beautiful hypnagogic music that the first two stages had, stayed even longer for the sheer horror, and spent the rest of my day feeling really uneasy. Not even Everywhere at the End of Time made me feel as ill and paranoid as this did. I was truly immersed in the hell that this album showed. And yet I keep returning to listen to those moments of peace before all hell breaks loose, A1 to C4 are genuinely really good pieces of music to listen to, if not really unsettling. I also love the names of F1, F2, and G1. The almost (but at the same time not quite) comprehensible jumble really hammers home the terror and the rage of having your own brain fighting you. And the very end of the album, showing a clean, white, clear hospital roof with all the hellish effects gone and the album art taped back together feels almost jarringly hopeful after the horrific ordeal we've just been led through. Whether the protocol worked to cure us or not, the nightmare is over and we don't suffer anymore. I like to believe the protocol was a success for my own sanity's sake lol

[@FrizzyArtistJay]

That got so long omg, tl,dr is that the first few bits of music are pretty enough for me to keep coming back to listen to them and this album messed with my health anxiety really bad even though rabies doesn't exist where I live lmao this album needs to be more popular because it's so good and I'm upset that I'd never know it exists if it weren't for that absolute god among men in that one comment section I was hiding from a rabies video in

[@petertench-zw2ti]

@@FrizzyArtistJayFor me it's the other way around, C6, the entire D side and the entire day 3 and 4 are the best part of this album. I even listen to F2 and G1 when I have trouble falling asleep.

DAY 1 - EXPOSITION SIDE A - 7AM-2PM "Damn, I feel weird today. I don't know what it is with me this morning. Maybe I need some coffee? Anyways, I gotta go to work, talk to you later." SIDE B - 3PM-9PM "This odd feeling has stayed all day, and it almost feels like it is getting worse. I feel the noisy subway and city streets from earlier ringing in the back of my mind. I think I'll go to bed early. Goodnight." DAY 2 - RISING SIDE C - 7AM-9PM "My god, I've felt like all kinds of crap today. Exhausted, dehydrated, on edge, unable to concentrate, you name it. I called in sick from work today. Nothing is making me feel better at all." SIDE D - 10PM-6AM "I haven't been able to sleep all night. It's raining cats and dogs. There are people banging on my door and peering through the blinds. There are eyes and teeth in my closet. I'm so fucking dead." DAY 3 - CLIMAX SIDE E - 7AM-12PM I visited my friend to find them on the floor frothing at the mouth, frantically rambling, and slipping in and out of consciousness. I offered them something to drink, and they promptly spit it out. I don't know what the hell this is, but it's not looking good at all. I called an ambulance and they'll be here shortly. SIDE F - 1PM-6PM They have been admitted to the hospital and put in palliative care. I am not allowed into their room. Not too long ago they woke up and have been frantically trying to move against their restraints and screaming so much you could hear it from across the hall. They are going to sedate them again in a bit. SIDE G - 7PM-12AM The doctors have told me that they are putting them in a medical coma as part of medical procedure for human rabies. And as the evening progressed, their aggression calmed more and more until only the sound of hospital machinery could be heard. DAY 4 - VACUUM SIDES H-I-J-K All I can do is pray.

[@Ressasuke2009]

On Monday morning you prepare for another week of your normal life, you meet a stray dog and it bites you, you don't get angry easily, so you continue with your day as normal, until night comes... and only you want to go home to rest a little and face the next day... The continuous feeling that something is not right, it just goes on... Continuously pushing harder and harder through your brain that screams 'help', but you ignore it like it's a bad day... And then it's too late, there is no time for regrets, your body is filled with anxiety, irritation, fear and HATE. It shocks your body, the feelings of your past memories fade away, with tormented thoughts replacing them, that's where you are at the point where nothing else matters, and you HATE feeling, you HATE hearing, you HATE the current silhouettes of your once so-called family and friends, you start to HATE eating, even drinking, you... now... HATE... life... You explode, you hurt everything that gave you calm, everything that made you angry, everything just to feel the true calm that your mind desires, but that true calm seems unattainable... At the end of it all... they tie you up... and you count the days until your now... expected death... In an induced coma... You feel the true calm that your body, mind and soul desired... Dying is now a hope... to not feel that HATE once again... And then, surprisingly... You wake up and feel alive once again. /Español (Spanish)/ El lunes por la mañana te preparas para una semana más de tu vida normal, te encuentras con un perro callejero y te muerde, no te cabreas fácilmente, así que sigues con tu día con normalidad, hasta que llega la noche... y solo quieres ir a tu casa a descansar un poco y afrontar el día siguiente... La sensación continua de que algo no está bien, simplemente continúa... Presionando más y más fuerte a través de tu cerebro que grita 'ayuda', pero lo ignoras como si fuera un mal día... Y entonces es demasiado tarde, no hay tiempo para remordimientos, tu cuerpo se llena de ansiedad, irritación, miedo y ODIO. Conmociona tu cuerpo, los sentimientos de tus recuerdos pasados se desvanecen, con pensamientos atormentados reemplazándolos, ahí es donde estás en el punto en que nada más importa, y ODIAS sentir, ODIAS escuchar, ODIAS las siluetas actuales de tu una vez llamados familia y amigos, empiezas a ODIAR comer, incluso beber, tu... ahora... ODIAS... la vida... Explotas, lastimas todo lo que te daba calma, todo lo que te cabreaba, todo solo por sentir la verdadera calma que tu mente desea, pero esa verdadera calma, parece inalcanzable... Al final de todo... te atan... y cuentas los días hasta tu ahora... esperada muerte... En un coma inducido... Sientes la verdadera calma que tu cuerpo, mente y alma deseaban... Morir es ahora una esperanza... para no sentir ese ODIO una vez más... Y luego, sorprendentemente... Te despiertas y te sientes vivo una vez más.

I’ve yet to experience music that makes such a deep connection to personal projects that I’m working on (For the exception of WEEN). Thank y’all so fucking much.

[@hunterbeatbilly9836]

Ho...ly...fuck. This is possibly the most disturbing album i ever heard in my life in a perfect kind of way. Rabies itself is an incredibly deadly disease. Something that you dont want to even get ever. The ability to have your mind deranged and incredibly insane is extremely scary. You never want to get this disease under any circumstance. It'll litteraly kill you. Seeing the discription you put in and seeing this fan project is about rabies, what you made right here is absolutely phenomenal. Somehow, this project is already more disturbing then EATEOT. The sounds you put in and made for this project felt absolutely accurate to the rabies patient. The more you listen to it, the more deranged and disturbing it becomes. And then it kicks it way over to overdrive. Specifically the 1:24:46 part. This combined with the disease the patient is going through, made it significantly horrifying. Can you even imagine that this album is somehow even more scarier and disturbing then the entirey of the manhunt game? That is an incredible accomplishment. You actually find a way to make it sound menancing. I even get chills and unfeeligness. Wanting out of this hellhole so bad. But do you know what really takes the cake? Despite the litteral vortex to the netherrealm the listener is going through, this one actually have an incredibly great ending. A possible rare feat for any caretaker fan-album to get. This album is incredibly perfect. Possibly one of the best and incredibly disturbing album i ever heard.

[@petertench-zw2ti]

I'm completely in love with how this album is playing with ya, making you think 1:22:10 is the Hell Sirens and playing a calm track at 1:26:50 before throwing the REAL Hell Sirens at ya. None of the other albums do anything like this.

MP can barely be called a Caretaker Fan Project anymore.

[@brotftheyhaveusernamesnow]

I'll do the copypasta honours if you don't mind; *Rabies is scary.* Rabies. It's exceptionally common, but people just don't run into the animals that carry it often. Skunks especially, and bats. Let me paint you a picture. You go camping, and at midday you decide to take a nap in a nice little hammock. While sleeping, a tiny brown bat, in the "rage" stages of infection is fidgeting in broad daylight, uncomfortable, and thirsty (due to the hydrophobia) and you snort, startling him. He goes into attack mode. Except you're asleep, and he's a little brown bat, so weighs around 6 grams. You don't even feel him land on your bare knee, and he starts to bite. His teeth are tiny. Hardly enough to even break the skin, but he does manage to give you the equivalent of a tiny scrape that goes completely unnoticed. Rabies does not travel in your blood. In fact, a blood test won't even tell you if you've got it. (Antibody tests may be done, but are useless if you've ever been vaccinated.) You wake up, none the wiser. If you notice anything at the bite site at all, you assume you just lightly scraped it on something. The bomb has been lit, and your nervous system is the wick. The rabies will multiply along your nervous system, doing virtually no damage, and completely undetectable. You literally have NO symptoms. It may be four days, it may be a year, but the camping trip is most likely long forgotten. Then one day your back starts to ache... Or maybe you get a slight headache? At this point, you're already dead. There is no cure. (The sole caveat to this is the Milwaukee Protocol, which leaves most patients dead anyway, and the survivors mentally disabled, and is seldom done). There's no treatment. It has a 100% kill rate. Absorb that. Not a single other virus on the planet has a 100% kill rate. Only rabies. And once you're symptomatic, it's over. You're dead. So what does that look like? Your headache turns into a fever, and a general feeling of being unwell. You're fidgety. Uncomfortable. And scared. As the virus that has taken its time getting into your brain finds a vast network of nerve endings, it begins to rapidly reproduce, starting at the base of your brain... Where your "pons" is located. This is the part of the brain that controls communication between the rest of the brain and body, as well as sleep cycles. Next you become anxious. You still think you have only a mild fever, but suddenly you find yourself becoming scared, even horrified, and it doesn't occur to you that you don't know why. This is because the rabies is chewing up your amygdala. As your cerebellum becomes hot with the virus, you begin to lose muscle coordination, and balance. You think maybe it's a good idea to go to the doctor now, but assuming a doctor is smart enough to even run the tests necessary in the few days you have left on the planet, odds are they'll only be able to tell your loved ones what you died of later. You're twitchy, shaking, and scared. You have the normal fear of not knowing what's going on, but with the virus really fucking the amygdala this is amplified a hundred fold. It's around this time the hydrophobia starts. You're horribly thirsty, you just want water. But you can't drink. Every time you do, your throat clamps shut and you vomit. This has become a legitimate, active fear of water. You're thirsty, but looking at a glass of water begins to make you gag, and shy back in fear. The contradiction is hard for your hot brain to see at this point. By now, the doctors will have to put you on IVs to keep you hydrated, but even that's futile. You were dead the second you had a headache. You begin hearing things, or not hearing at all as your thalamus goes. You taste sounds, you see smells, everything starts feeling like the most horrifying acid trip anyone has ever been on. With your hippocampus long under attack, you're having trouble remembering things, especially family. You're alone, hallucinating, thirsty, confused, and absolutely, undeniably terrified. Everything scares the literal shit out of you at this point. These strange people in lab coats. These strange people standing around your bed crying, who keep trying to get you "drink something" and crying. And it's only been about a week since that little headache that you've completely forgotten. Time means nothing to you anymore. Funny enough, you now know how the bat felt when he bit you. Eventually, you slip into the "dumb rabies" phase. Your brain has started the process of shutting down. Too much of it has been turned to liquid virus. Your face droops. You drool. You're all but unaware of what's around you. A sudden noise or light might startle you, but for the most part, it's all you can do to just stare at the ground. You haven't really slept for about 72 hours. Then you die. You always die. And there's not one... fucking... thing... anyone can do for you. Then there's the question of what to do with your corpse. I mean, sure, burying it is the right thing to do. But the fucking virus can survive in a corpse for years. You could kill every rabid animal on the planet today, and if two years from now, some moist, preserved, rotten hunk of used-to-be brain gets eaten by an animal, it starts all over. So yeah, rabies scares the shit out of me. And it's fucking EVERYWHERE. (Source: *u/JubileeTrade* on Reddit)

[@petertench-zw2ti]

Here are some timestamps and my thoughts about them (for now just the third stage): 1:22:58: This is the point the rabid person had slipped into a brain inflammation induced delirium, but the post-awareness/post-reality didn't kick in completely yet. 1:37:08: Post-reality begins here, since the virus reaches the brain cortex. The patient has to be restrained on his bed. 1:46:01: Sedative is given to the patient, resulting in a very brief moment of clarity 1:53:00: The patient loses all sense of self, his person or the idea of what being a human is like, hence the torn polaroid photo 1:54:54: The paralytic stage of rabies kicks in, the patient is no longer aggressive or has any awareness of anything. He can no longer breathe on his own. If not for the Protocol, this would be the final stage before death.

[@PXTSERYU_]

Interesting thoughts! Post-reality is a neat term for it - the internal term was always hyper-paranoia but i suppose PR fits better for G1.

[@petertench-zw2ti]

@@PXTSERYU_​​⁠​⁠ I imagine the F1 and F2 as more of blind rage and delirium than paranoia but sure. My feeling is, paranoia starts at D1 and reaches its peak at E1. E1 is the highest point of both paranoia and confusion, after it paranoia is replaced by the delirium state, and after someone discovers the patient unconscious, foaming at the mouth, the ambulance comes for him. By the way, do the clouds at 51:30 and that "foam" at 1:18:20 have some interesting backstory or are they just a random thing?

[@PXTSERYU_]

@@petertench-zw2ti Since rabies causes paranoia, hallucinations etc due to stimulating the fear centers of the brain, the "foam"/clouds are supposed to be hallucinations of trypophobia

[@petertench-zw2ti]

@@PXTSERYU_@PXTSERYU_ May I ask why the choice was specifically trypophobia, not insects, snakes, worms etc? Was it based on rabies survivor reports, since the delirium cases I saw usually included multiple types at a time, like holes with insects crawling inside, snakes and insects, etc. It was rarely just one thing, but I never saw a rabies infection, mostly alcohol induced delirium. (also my bad this is not "foam", I saw the OG pic and it was a fleshy blob of sorts, which is actually creepier lol)

[@TearMetoBitsDarling]

Here's a theory of mine as well. The text in all of the other stages (besides the comatose stage) doesn't majorly change (F1 is just smudged up) and the comatose state and the distortion of the covers in general implies that everything in the cover is related to the patient's thougths or emotions in some way. I like to believe the distortion in text on LYSSACEDROPHOBIATHRASH shows that the patient wants the milwaukee protocol, the patient NEEDS the milwaukee protocol, the patient is BEGGING for the protocol through whatever sounds of choking and crying they can utter.

[@55robloxmaster]

Oh my God. Just... Oh my God. When I started this album, I immediately got on the floor and continued to work on my very hard jigsaw puzzle (The Lines). And I continued to do so for almost this entire album. Only once did I peek at the timeline to see how much was left (a little over half way there), and didn't pause at any single point. I listened to it all in one go. I knew it had to be experienced that way. Throughout, I had to look up every now and then to admire the visuals and effects. They contributed oh so heavily to it all. It went from peaceful, to uneasy, to even more uneasy, to creepy, to horrifying... And that slow, *slow* melting of both the music and the face after the drastic bump up in intensity. It goes on forever, yet it pays off so well. I didn't know what to expect at the darkest point. Was it about to end? What was I looking at on the screen? I had no clue. However, for the last 10-20 minutes, I had to turn the lights off and stare at the screen. I could simply tell, without looking at the timeline, that I was very close to the end. It felt too climactic to not be. Then, the image slowly reveals itself....I had the idea of it being the ceiling of a hospital, but I wasn't too sure yet. All I could do was stare, with my tunnel vision in full swing. And, I ended up being correct. But that had no change on how much it hit. *This* was the end. At one point, you forget this is even about rabies until you regain your senses. When you literally get lost in an album like that, you already know it's a perfect ten. To everyone who worked on this masterpiece, you deserve a huge award. Thank you for this emotional rollercoaster of an experience. God bless.

[@aubreynl]

going off of how i interpret each track in order: DAY 1 (Side A) A1 - You wake up feeling slightly odd, but you can easily brush it aside. Despite this feeling you've still found yourself in a good mood. A2 - You go for a walk outside, and admire the nature, nothing out of the ordinary so far. A3 - You continue your business, taking a leisurely walk in Shorewood. A4 - (i honestly dont know what to say about this one) A5 - You're feeling more calm at this hour, and a feeling of serenity surrounds you. A6 - You have a strange feeling of minor discomfort, you can't tell what it is but for the most part it's still nothing too major. DAY 1 (Side B) B1 - It's a calm cloudy evening, but you could've sworn someone tried to whisper in your ear a few seconds ago, yet there's nobody near you, perhaps that was just the wind. B2 - A sensation of uneasiness starts to appears again, however you find this as to be just anxiety, and dismiss it again. B3 - During your commute at the subway, the environment felt strangely louder, in fact you were starting to feel a little overwhelmed from the noises. Something's starting to feel more different as your day goes on. B4 - You head back home watching the TV, and rest after being outside all day. You notice some beady eyes in some trees, however a second look and they're just in fact, actually birds. Everything's still fine for now. B5 - The streets feel louder, just like a few hours ago during this day, but you're still fine as usual. B6 - The sun has set, and you now go to sleep for the day, but you start feeling "off". You can sleep, but you're more uneasy than before. DAY 2 (Side C) C1 - You wake up with a blistering headache, and you get out of your bed feeling irritable. It seems you'll have to skip work today. Dehydration sets in, but as soon as you see your sink, your thirst goes away. C2 - You go outside like yesterday, however it's a struggle to even focus on things, you find yourself trying to keep it together, but to no avail, you give up and decide to go back to your house. C3 - Things are starting feel "dreamlike", you don't know how to describe it. Looking at the highly contrasted sky is enough to give you the jitters. C4 - You aren't feeling any better still, but suddenly strange objects in the sky catch your sight. You're hallucinating. Something's definitely wrong. C5 - Hoping to ease your anxiety, you head to the beach and watch the sea, but it does little to no good despite this attempt. C6 - It's evening, and you're still pondering on what is even happening anymore, fear takes place even further. DAY 2 (Side D) D1 - While it's past midnight, you've tried to sleep. You can't sleep at all. There's a thing looking at you through the blinds, and you feel even more awful now. You try to put on some jazz to at least feel a little better. D2 - Everything is getting twisted and warped, you've figured watching some TV instead to distract yourself, but someone's knocking on the door repeatedly. It keeps going for nearly an hour. D3 - The hallucinations are continuing to worsen. You can hear odd sounds in your own home, a deep laughing growl noise or whatever it is, it's not helping. D4 - Paranoia starts going to extremes, you can't even hide under the sheets since nothing is helping out at this point. The shadows you see have eyes and teeth, as if they were monsters. D5 - Nothing is remotely normal anymore, this is the turning point between reality and a rabid view of the world. You're hearing random voices. D6 - The sun is starting to rise, your alarm sounds hellishly loud. When you try to stop it, you notice a figure staring at you, and you are terrified. This continues on into day 3. DAY 3 (Side E) E1 - There are "hands" on the windows, you try to ignore the surrounding hallucinations and go for some water because of your extreme thirst, but you feel horrified once you look at your sink. You try to take a sip anyway but it's absolutely painful. Your lips bleed from dehydration. E2 - Confusion is taking place as well, am I at shorewood or shorewater, or was it "atwood"? You feel slightly better but you're still feeling awful. E3 - Someone notices you in your delirium, and they call for 911. A black tall thing in the corner of the room looks at you. E4 - You question why this happening, "why did I deserve this?". These are the last moment before the neurological hell really begins. -- (theres aleady a descriptor for f1-g1 so go look at that i guess)

This is not just my favorite Caretaker fan album. I think it’s also my favorite plunderthonic album as well. This is so creative and dark and oh so gorgeous. There’s an actual story behind the Rabies victim, and while that isn’t the main focus, it is appreciative that there is some character and narrative significance put in. You went a step further by changing and altering the images into a recognizable sequence with their own merits, I love how you incorporate little effects like strange abstract shapes coming into existence and even using tears as a symbol of the album art literally falling apart. Aleve Serenity is probably the best song on the MP discography, both being slightly unsettling, but also being a great bop. Finally there’s the ending. My god, the ending. It destroyed me emotionally in the best way possible and the choice you have on the pov’s fate is so bold and subversive, but also tasteful and properly foreshadowed.

(Some spoilers below) "It's just a burning memory" instantly struck me the moment I heard it, filling me with such a potent dread and fear, that it put me on edge for basically the entirety of the first two stages despite most reporting them as more relaxing/sad. It's a song which really brings the words "dementia in its totality" written in EATEOT's description to life, it is a harrowing piece to me, it feels massive. But then you have "Atwater", here, and though obviously the progression of both diseases is very different, I think that there's some really great characterization of the optimism this album represents with how it ends, it starts off foreboding and frightening, which made me think this album was going to carry the same dread as EATEOT throughout, but it quickly takes a backseat to the main part of the song. The guitar riff it has really conveys this quiet determination to me, it feels like it directly is foreshadowing the feeling that this isn't the end for our protagonist, the image it puts in my mind is a lot more hopeful, almost a quaint stubbornness to keep pushing onward, which is such a lovely contrast to the incomprehensible scale and totality that EATEOT's A1 possesses. The optimism of the ending somehow feels like it bleeds deeply into Day 1. I don't know how much this is just me reading into this too far, but I really love how both Atwater and the rest of the A side feel like they're showing us that there is much more life in our protagonist's day to day left to live, and "Atwater" feels like it shows their determined grit to make it through this hell. It really shows how special this album is at not just rehashing the same progression of its inspiration, which I think can be felt in all parts of this, but the Day 1 feels especially resonant at creating a new picture, making it the only project of its ilk where the A side is my favorite.

[@PXTSERYU_]

"The optimism of the ending somehow feels like it bleeds deeply into Day 1. " This is probably the best take on the A1 meaning I've heard. Apart from the blip at the end representing a return to normalcy-ish (minus the permanent scars, like the taped over cover), the larger message of the album is one about optimism and pushing through the hardest times possible - then coming out the other side okay. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[@arrowtongue]

@@PXTSERYU_ I'm happy to tell you that if that was the intention then every part of this album executes on that perfectly, I definitely could feel how there was a lot more here than just a representation of rabies (even if it's portrayal is incredible, especially Day 2), and I wish more people took the time to unpack those feelings since they're what keeps me coming back to this piece.

I think this is only the second time an album has sincerely horrified me. The first album was EATEOT. Everything I've heard so far is just so perfect. I can tell the artists put in so much effort to make this something special. The way the music flows together like a horrid fever dream, the album covers changing, the sound effects screeching and scratching from the left and right channels. I'd go into more detail, but I'm not even done listening. I'll pick it back up in the morning. You all owe me a night's sleep. Also I should probably stop watching scary stuff at night.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to this phenomenal album, I’ve never felt so immersed in one of these projects before. These albums have positively impacted my life in many ways, I feel more whole for these artistic trips into unspeakable horrors that are all too real. I listened to MP over the course of two days, the second time spent walking through the woods, and entered a trance-like state by the end of Day 3. I can’t imagine all the meticulous work that went into every piece, the entire experience showcased perfect mastery of the medium. Well done!

I've always loved how the boarder deteriorates overtime aswell, the covers in E1-Late F1 Fusing with the cover looks so uncomfortable with the white being mixed with dark colours and I love it

[@DemRise1999]

I kinda forgot to leave the epic melancholic comment because I wasn't really in later parts of the premiere but oh well. MP its really special because it has to be the best work environment I've ever been, It was really cool to see lots of people there thinking outside the box for their subs, and the final selection makes justice for the entire server, even if obviously it wasn't possible to use all. Being able to make things and experiments that don't really work anywhere else and seeing the results of everyone's experimentation is something really special and I want to say thank you to everyone in MPcord for making something so special, the final results and the experience as well.

[@thevoid1601]

actually in tears. Dont know how to describe the emotion im feeling but its amix between horror, fear , sadness and happiness. I love this new subgenre EATEOT helped to grow

[@lukebradford]

Having read the description, I'm legitimately scared to listen to this (particularly day 3). Rabies sounds like hell. That said, fear isn't gonna stop me. I'll edit this comment with my thoughts after I've finished each 'day'. Here goes nothing... SPOILERS for those who haven't heard the album yet! Edit 1: Well, the team who made this have obviously heard the expression 'start as you mean to go on'. Day 1 is unsettling from the get go, but it doesn't get really unnerving until Minor Discomfort. And then the subway sound collage was honestly terrifying. Then when I couldn't think it could get any worse, Beady Eyes on Shorewood. The first half's interview and the second half having a song I thought I recognized, but couldn't place. It was more the singer, sounds like Passenger to me but I could be wrong. The last two tracks compound the, at this point, chilling atmosphere. Especially with the fact that Twitching Eyelids is the first track to flow seamlessly into the next. The final click sent a chill down my spine. Then whatever's been sampled for Pins and Needles is utterly unrecognizable to the point that it almost feels like a representation of the 'hearing voices' part of the ordeal. A brilliantly effective start to the experience. It's certainly made me have second thoughts. Onto Day 2... Edit 2: I have no idea how to even begin to describe Day 2. Well, the C side is pretty forgettable for the most part and is actually quite pleasant to listen to, until Can You Hear The Sea. It's the D side where things really take a turn. I noticed just from reading the description that Disturbances was like a counterpart of Jitters, and although it uses a different sample it does feel like Jitters but worse. In the sense that the rabies is really starting to take hold. Also, there's just a random bumper for some reason, and some tracks have some kind of growling in the background. Background noises, voices, the rushing of water, are all in there and make things even more unnerving. Especially the knocking that appears to just come out of nowhere at times. By Mental Precipice, I was on the verge of a panic attack. I don't know if I'm going to be able to finish this. If Day 3 is as scary as the description makes it sound... Also, I was not expecting the alarm clock(?) at the end of D6 to transition smoothly into E1. That''s genius and also terrifying because up to the alarm starting, D6 had been an unsettling dark ambient piece. The alarm suddenly piercing my ears out of nowhere scared me half to death! Onto Day 3... Edit 3: It's... not as scary as I was expecting it to be. The first half is mostly ambient which was surprising. Then the longer tracks with incomprehensible names are just that. A representation of the going over the edge described in the description. The surprisingly serene ambient parts of F2 feel like the patient (the listener in this case, considering the description is in second person) being given sedative. Aside from that, It's a perfect audio representation of hell. I have no idea what's going on in the longer tracks otherwise. The second half of G1 seems strangely serenely ambient. I was expecting more of a Stage 4 Confusions kind of thing, but this actually works well too. It's almost like a preview to what I imagine Day 4 sounds like based on the description and song titles. Onto the coma... Edit 4: Well... almost heavenly droning is a surprise. As is that random few seconds of piano in I1. Aside from that, the first three tracks just feel... empty. Then J1 comes along and as the patient seemingly awakes from the coma, the music gets more and more hopeful. It almost feels like an audio representation of heaven in the last few minutes. I particularly love how everything goes blurry to represent the patient waking up from the coma/waking up in heaven, then it unblurs to end on a normal cover with the picture being of a hospital ceiling, which I did suspect was the case. Then there's a weird noise like something powering down and then just static until the last few seconds. I'm not quite sure what those couple of guitar notes are doing there nor what they're supposed to represent, but the way the album just cuts off like that suggests to me that the patient unfortunately didn't make it. I wasn't expecting it to just cut off so abruptly. People had been talking about the last 2 seconds in the comments, and I was expecting a scream or brief snippet of A1 or something. Not a cut to black. A brilliant subversion of expectations. Overall, this is a very interesting and very unsettling album. While it has a few flaws (the C side doesn't do much for me, the random bumper in D1 feels unnecessary, Day 3 honestly felt a bit underwhelming), it's still very good and very creative. I don't think I'd rate it as highly as everyone else seems to, but it's still an 8.5/10 for me. If this is what rabies feels like, and especially since the survival rate is abysmally low, I hope I never get it. I don't know if I've had the vaccine, but I'll definietly look into getting it.

[@liamneedsauniquehandle]

originally the ending of k1 had a snippet of a1, also the patient survives

[@lukebradford]

@@liamneedsauniquehandle Was the patient surviving outright confirmed, then? Cause the sudden cut off is the one of the major reasons I interpreted the end as the patient dying. Although K1 originally ending on part of A1 is interesting and certainly would suggest survival. But again, it did get abruptly cut off.

[@liamneedsauniquehandle]

@@lukebradford I think PXT himself said that the patient survived, and the reason why it cut out is because albums have endings.

[@lukebradford]

​@@liamneedsauniquehandle Did it have to be so abrupt, though? The music obviously doesn't stop there so it feels a bit of an odd choice. And I guess if the creator himself said the patient survived...

The fact that the description for this video describes your mental deterioration over the course of three days as you succumb to rabies, yet doesn't explain HOW you've caught it is truly terrifying when you think about it.

He caught it from a rabid bat, listen at 29:40. He was bitten while he was sleeping. You may hear the bats at 1:57:04 too.

[@BlueMerle65]

It makes sense. Apparently rabies has an incubation period of 30-90 days, which means by the time symptoms start appearing, the incident that caused you to contract it probably won't be at the front of your mind
