people in the north hemisphere got BRAT summer. Now we, south hemisphereans, are getting Imaginal Disk summer.

[@brokenbiscuit1557]

honestly, the album sounds so Spring like

[@julssss8157]

Kevin first reaction to Death & Romance is literally the calmest listening experience of that song

[@objectivelysubjectiveopinions]

your dad instantly catching that the instrumental from Love Is Everywhere was used on a Lil Yachty track, he's such an effing GOAT

[@jodestolo]

And he’s wearing Yachty merch!!

[@objectivelysubjectiveopinions]

@@jodestolo didn't even notice, that is actually so perfect hahaha

[@pierobattelli]

As someone who wasn’t very familiar with Magdalena Bay prior to this record I was pleasantly surprised. This is genuinely so refreshing and boundary pushing at the same time. A perfect example of what a unique pop record should sound like. Pop doesn’t mean basic, pop can be so much more than just radio tunes. Had the album on repeat since it released!

[@marinebymistake]

Try their previous album/eps, they are great

[@pierobattelli]

@@marinebymistake Added them to the list! Excited to see what lead up to this

[@ricrackem]

@@pierobattelli I did this exact same thing after listening to this album the first time, you're in for a treat

HIGHLY recommend checking all of their stuff out, they have been super underrated and I’m so glad they are getting a lot of recognition

[@JD-jz5gu]

@@TheDotcomguy167it’s kinda funny, I listened to and really enjoyed Mercurial World but never knew this released until Fantano released his review. My Apple Music didn’t even tell me they released a whole-ass album

Album of the Year!

[@sainttems]

No lies told

[@tonigrujic5325]

Of the decade so far even

[@reformeddoomer6777]

Diamond Jubilee for me but this is the second for me.

[@SatyaDharmawanto]

YES YES YES

[@martian_chan]

It’s hard to find any flaws with this record. Genuinely one of the best albums this decade.

[@kadenalbrecht7704]

Feels like home

[@lonelyliteraturelover712]

I’d go as far as to say one of the best of the 21st century

[@unadventurer_]

Hard agree

[@BeatsByAJUnofficial]

Fitting that Kevin wore the Yachty hoodie since Mag Bay produced on that album and sample their own production on this one

[@turningthetables]

he loves that yachty hoodie I don’t think it’s been washed in 8 months

[@WHITEPERSUAS1ON]

Apparently, they had already made the song and he asked to use the beat

[@yuhmuhfuhkuh]

@@WHITEPERSUAS1ON Yachty, diana gordon, and mag bay should just form a supergroup tbh

[@RickyPro888]

@@WHITEPERSUAS1ON they had just made the beat afaik, the album was early in the works at that point

Im so happy Magdalena Bay is becoming more popular. Been listening to them since 2019 and its amazing how far they are coming.

[@user-wd1ze3uc1c]

Yasss dad is SO INTO image!!! That’s my fave!

[@user-wd1ze3uc1c]

Please react to Mercurial World by them (their last album) if you haven’t yet!

[@Amascut]

Image is the best song this year for me, goddamn. Just immaculate!!!

[@aureliaa1853]

Mercurial World is genuinely one of the best albums I've ever listened to, they just dont ever miss

[@krokanjer]

without exaggeration i think this might be my favourite album of all time

[@TWplayer]

Valid asf, it’s easily one of my favorites of all time by now

[@gonko638]

Shit I think it's mine too😭 cry for me is already my most streamed song of the year

[@duckyduke954]

Mercurial world is one of my fav ever and this one might be even better

[@huntymcbunty]

I’ve already come to the conclusion it’s the best pop album ever made. I’m taking this album over Thriller, any Madonna album… it’s unreal.

[@xtravagancy7023]

This might be the most giddy I have ever seen Kevin react to something 😭

[@FallingOutTheSky]

I’ve been a fan of them since 2021/2022 and I’m so glad people are finally giving them their recognition! Literally one of the best pop records of the decade, maybe ever? Super excited for this reaction!

IMAGINING MY DISK RN

[@stevebob240]

Magging my Bay rn. Straight up magging it.

[@kazzy44]

straight up "imagining it". and by "it", haha, well. let's justr say. My disk

[@TWplayer]

Who up insertin their disk?

[@duckyduke954]

My disk is so inserted rn

[@metashrew]

first time i listened to this album i was just laughing manically. I just couldnt believe that an album could combine all of these things that i love about music.

[@Petalflipper]

I tried to listen to it on a road trip and I realized pretty quickly it wasn't really clicking on the road and I would have to listen to it later. That was a fantastic idea because I truly was able to appreciate what I was hearing then, and it was fantastic.

[@dizzydismo]

Literally mouth just dropped at every instrumental

[@unadventurer_]

Haha same! I listened to it three times in a row on different headphones at night after having a couple drinks and was just laughing and walking around my apartment flipping out. Absolutely wild album. AOTY no question.

[@vrnickk]

one of my favorite first listen experiences ever. definitely a magdalena bay fan now

[@tyc9909]

The writing on the final track levels up the chorus from the first so much It’s so fire

[@Missjunebugfreak]

For real! Love how they used the same chorus from She Looked Like Me but enhanced it even more on The Ballad of Matt & Mica to make it sound even more impactful.

[@Btabetu]

The fact that he's wearing a let's start here hoodie, probably without knowing that they worked on that album with yachty which he had a pretty similar reaction to that project as well is so cool

[@t17389z]

Oh he totally knows, they discuss Mag Bay's work on that album extensively on the patreon version

[@madremorelos1573]

You know it’s going to be a banger when Kevin puts his lyrics down

[@fett2667]

The duo were actually part of a prog rock band before forming magdalena bay i believe, which really is reflected with the more prog elements on this record

[@darvit2]

That's right! I believe the prog band's name was Tabula Rosa

[@Jeeetzz]

@@darvit2 Tabula Rasa* I thought it was Rosa to lolll

[@nicolasf7243]

This was an instant classic for me, I know I'll still be listening to this album for decades. There is so much heart in every single song.

[@TheDotcomguy167]

This is all from my own brain & opinion but if you listen throughout the album it tells a whole story from the perspective of one person who’s been split into two parts. One part being the purest best form of everything you are, the “true blue” part of you with the villain being the cosmic entity of “time” as time changes everyone and everything, throughout the album you can hear time laughing as you listen as you are “killing time”…. Imaginal Disc is found in larva before the undergo metamorphosis, similar to a caterpillar & butterfly. We as Humans all go through various ‘changes’ in our lives and this album represents how to deal with that. From change in relationships, becoming your own image, to death & romance. It’s quite genius in my opinion cause music itself is “timeless”

[@serjoalt]

You would be right!! You should watch the music videos, if you didn't already

[@ImDeluxeSP33some]

I was such a huge fan of Mercurial World but it went under the radar, but now I'm glad it's getting its flowers as AOTY from music communities and of course hopefully KEVIN

[@sassytabasco]

The pure joy in their reactions, this was totally me dude! Such a pleasure to listen to this album. So dynamic, so exciting, so intelligently constructed. Definitely an AOTY contender.

[@Alejanni]

Watching kevin react crazy to things that I didn’t notice before in the album, that’s why I always need to watch you guys reaction

[@lspag]

Giving Brat a run for its money for AOTY. This year has been nuts.

[@colatte]

I’ve had Image constantly stuck in my head. Can’t describe it any other way than saying it tickles my brain the right way.

[@reeseruss]

Ooooooh my gooood

We did it Magdalena Nation

[@brittanygonzo5686]

Omg I was SO happy to see this pop up! It's def. my AOTY, I'm glad you guys like it too!! Still trying to find anyone with a ticket to Chicago this weekend, either night. 💙🖤💿

[@104ist]

the best part of these videos is feeling like i’m hearing tracks with fresh ears, Watching TV was one that didn’t really click for me until now but seeing you react in real time to the glitches felt like i was listening to it for the first time

[@darvit2]

Seeing you dad love Magdalena Bay gave me the same feeling of introducing two friends to eachother and them immediately vibing.

[@brunoalves-pg9eo]

This album was an orchestra of synths. I'm so happy you found them, I've been a fan of them since Neon in 2019 and their minimixes as well. But this always felt like my guilty pleasure and not something other people would enjoy because it's so out of the box, so seeing you two vibing to Magdalena Bay is just heartwarming and a validation of my love for them. And also a validation for other guilty pleasures I have and that I should probably be sharing and not keeping to myself.

[@brunoalves-pg9eo]

And by the way, you should listen to their other album Mercurial World

[@Tony-fz9zz]

Just saw them on Friday at the Commodore. The set was a mix of their popular hits mixed into this album and the energy of was absolutely insaneeee

[@kazzy44]

i was there too, and hearing them live is pure magic. the energy was nonstop until the end, the drummer especially just went off

[@lrgcokewithlemon]

Ive been listening to MB since 2018 when I was a junior in HS. They are an artist I am thankful enough to have learned from an online friend back them and they been my top 10 favorite artists of all time ever since. Set Me Off is the song I always recommend to others as it’s my favorite. They deserve the world with their unique take on music.

[@gamesmaster1060]

Fitting that you have art angels in the background, would love a reaction video to that

[@xxBATMOBILE]

So happy with this new album. It makes me feel like I fall into myself to face my inner demons and then come out the other side into a heavenly new dimension. Yalls gotta check out their last mixed tape Mini Mix Volume 3 !!!! Such a great little collection of songs.

[@cornbred69696]

Easily album of the year & one of the best of the decade

[@angelzlz]

Can’t help but notice Art Angels in the back, is Grimes on the radar anytime soon? Also, if you guys liked this you should check out Magdalena Bay’s first album Mercurial World, it is equally amazing

[@nileshollowthorn]

I don't want to ever hear that this album is overrated again. I understand if you don't personally dig it, but it's by no means overrated. To be honest, this album reminded me why I love music in the first place.

[@Missjunebugfreak]

This is easily one of the best albums of this decade so far. It's just so beautifully crafted and has some of the most wonderful production I've heard on any pop album in a while.

[@chemicaldawn9402]

This album is just everything i love about music

[@thatsfunny832]

LOVED this album!!! so glad yall are reacting to this

[@samteea]

thank you so much for reacting to this!!!!! i freaking love 'imaginal disk'. 🥰

[@Repeater_pa]

Been listening to this group since 2018 or so. The music back then was good but they have only progressed with each album. Ethereal. Dancey. A true treat for the ears.

[@Samtastic-rl8et]

I had exactly the same reaction listening to this album pretty much, and left feeling the same way afterwards. Just... wow. blown away, speechless I had heard a couple songs from them before off of Mercurial World which I loved and got me wanting to sing and dance and get out of my seat every time I played them. Then I was strongly recommended this album so I played it from the beginning and (without really planning to) ended up listening to the whole thing in one sitting. Going in I knew they made great music but it was still so far beyond my expectations, every moment of it was perfect. And somehow its grown on me even since then! It just gets better with every listen as I notice more and more details, and I don't think I'm going to run out soon lol. Every track is immaculately crafted and layered with so much fantastic instumentation and ear candy. I agree with Kevin, I don't know what the last time I felt like this listening to an album was really. I think for that reason it really might be AOTY for me, and I'm very glad you guys loved this so much and had an amazing time listening to it too

[@jakemarcotte5008]

I never comment on youtube really to recommend things... but feel vindicated for suggesting this album! I knew y'all would love it! Thanks!!!
