It's a full on 10/10 album. The production is insane and dreamy.

[@localaud9814]

listening to this album reminded me that original music/sound is so possible!!!! which is CRAZY and every time i find an artist that gives me something like this it breaks my brain. AOTY for me.

[@maroonvfx]

RIGHT

[@mocapcow2933]

i wouldn't say original music is possible anymore, hasn't been possible for the last 20 years, but this is definitely different from what's been coming out quality wise, you can hear how much they worked on it

The crescendo at the end of vampire in the corner is my fave minute of the album

[@t17389z]

@@austinkoch444 absolutely 100% it's really neat that both this album and Mercurial World have those crazy like 4-5 track runs in the middle of the album that all flow into one another. They contain arguably the best songs on both albums too

[@0228christian]

Every single listen through of the album I think that the crescendo at the end of vampire in the corner is my favorite minute of the album… and then the crescendo at the end of watching t.v. hits and I’m like no actually this is the best minute of the album. And then you have love is everywhere and cry for me and the chorus of the ballad of Matt and Mica and by that point I just have to start the album over again so I can once again not be able to decide on a favorite part of the album lol

[@ValCalExtra]

11:22 Fun fact! The final song of their previous album, The Beginning, transitions perfectly into She Looked Like Me! I have been manifesting that you listen to Magdalena Bay, your reactions are priceless 💃✨

yes, their debut is amazing as well, and their mixtapes too. They really don't miss, genuinely have never heard a song of them that I didn't immediately love.

YES PLEASE LISTEN TO MERCURIAL WORLD JUST AS GOOD !!!! I've loved MagBay since that album and this was my most anticipated album of the year I'm so glad it's getting the love and recognition it deserves. matt and mica? no sorry I only know Father and Mother. seeing this album live (AND THEY DID THE WHOLE ALBUM!! IN ORDER!!!! WITH OTHER SONGS!!) was an entire spectacle and pure art. these two are truly something special so glad you listened king

[@shibahacking]

the editing in these videos are always clean asf but this segment at 8:22 made me gasp. love this album and love how quickly you connected with it

[@user-wd1ze3uc1c]

Their previous album Mercurial World is a MUST listen!! Also “image” is my song of the year.

[@earlisonline]

this album is peak music. their debut mercurial world was already phenomenal but magdalena bay even took it to a different level. this was more experimental compared to their debut, and is leaning more to their roots which is prog music. definitely my album of the year, hands down. made me realize that i truly love music

[@saturngxrl]

firstly, please do a vid on Mercurial World !! (they literally invented transitions from this album) secondly, thank youuu this was the reaction this album/mag bay deserves!!! I also commented on a previous video asking you to react to this album! I’m sososo excited that they’re finally getting the recognition they deserve 🪩💓💓

[@nicksorenson346]

Haven’t heard too many people mentioning the reprised melody in looked like me, ballad, discinserted and love is everywhere (at the end)

Magdalena Bay is the best! Please give their previous album a listen as well!

[@Astrowne]

We can all agree that this album will blow up in popularity sooner or later, it is just too well structured vocally and especially in production for it not to gain the recognition it deserves, so lets embrace how we got to experience this work of art before many others will eventually.

[@abigailrants]

i listened this album last week for the first time and i still can’t wrap my head around this masterpiece. i always thought i didn’t enjoy synth pop now i just realize i don’t like basic synth pop !! this is the proof that u can be original in a genre that is already cemented and i am so glad i have blessed my ears with this album !!!! this and brat ?! aoty !!! i looooove when u do this reactions when u pay really close attention to the production they’re my favs !!

[@dylanshrimpton7353]

[@anakin8132]

after checking out their previous works, highly recommended checking out their streams that they post on youtube. theyve gone into their previous album + mini mixes n dissected them for the fans to see their process and also answer any questions they may have. im sure in time, theyll do the same for this album as well. they mentioned in their mercurial world stream that they needed time to emotionally distance themselves from the music before showing how the sausage is made. its truly so rewarding to be a magbae, they feed us so well! also, in their mercurial world breakdown, theres a couple of easter eggs that hint to this album lol. they are so rad.
