✨ I Experienced the Imaginal Disk ✨

[@patt3n377]

"I will never cry to frank ocean song" ahhh reaction

[@henrycarrotcake]

bro literally cried because the album is good you can't make this up it's just that peak

[@incognito4778]

no shame crying to a fuckin masterpiece like this

[@cal34]

Her voice strikes that chord in your soul man, its chill inducing

[@Blockidk-i1n]

@@cal34 It reminds me of Gwen Stefani in No doubt but more versatile?

[@humanreviewsstuff]

You mean to tell me they imagined this disk? What's next, a dragon?

Here were dragons..

[@eddiesanchez8612]

Most normal Imaginal Disk reaction

[@adamwest519]

Proud of you Brad. The video quality is back to how it used to be and you seem to have passion behind it again. Couldn't have had a better album to listen to either, this thing is a fucking banger

[@chan_martin]

He’s back and Bradder than ever

[@felix-barth1279]

I love that the edited album reactions are back. These were always my favorites

[@JTB_FM]

just need the prompt vids back and we are back to peak

[@lRedPosion]

The soundboard was not used at all 😂 that's how good it was😊

[@little_box3s41]

I recall a stream where Brad says he mostly uses the soundboard to fill in when a song doesn't feel complete... But in this video he's constantly saying it feels complete. Makes sense.

[@lRedPosion]

@@little_box3s41 exactly and besides this album is too beautiful for that

[@arb-ex]

Seeing Brad getting so emotional is both comical and wholesome at the same time. The album is great, this is definitely a great and impactful project from Magdalena Bay, hope more music with this depth get the same praise in the future.

[@JebusChrust]

Skipping ahead from the intro to Watching TV is the funniest fucking contrast

[@kazzy44]

@@JebusChrust Watching TV is just peak like that

[@SanguineThor]

The night this album came out, i put my headphones in then laid in my bed and the only light in my room was the phone screen with the album cover. Needless to say, it was a magical, psychedelic, mind blowing experience. Such a HUMAN experience. Tons of fun moments, and tons of emotionally reflective moments. Made me reflect and appreciate every person I am. It really does deserve its praise

[@seamust123]

this is THE Imaginal disk reaction. They made this album and proved what pop(or alt pop specifically) music can still be, and it has blown me away for months

[@Namiszon]

someone hug this man

[@dylankurtz8423]

Me too. Lots of us out there like this. Many don't know how fortunate they are to have a home, car, relationship, money while men like us are barely holding on. Life is cruel

[@dylankurtz8423]

Also very irritating when people that have money and are doing fine complain about prices and driving in the rain while people like me bike to work and back 5 days a week and sometimes have to ride through a downpour. The lucky, fortunate and entitled need a serious reality check to see how the poor have it

[@andicapped7851]

Wtf tearing up to Brad crying to this album was not my expected outcome of watching this video.

[@chan_martin]

In terms of an “album experience” this is the best of the year. Reminds me why I love music.

[@mintysprigg]

You know an album is special when it can move you to tears! When Imaginal Disk first came out, I couldn't listen to anything else for like two weeks. In terms of sheer sonic quality, I've just never heard anything else that sounds like this before.

[@commandoxbox3604]

I think this reaction is a perfect show of why this is a 100/100 without a doubt, magic and cinema

[@igapedzich4262]

It's amazing to see someone being so emotionally affected just by the pure artistry of music. Love your videos, Brad!!

[@knutt8580]

his reaction to the massive synths at the start of Ballad of matt and mica (17:54) was my exact reaction

[@jabison05]

From brat summer to brad fall We are truly back

[@nicksorenson346]

People don’t usually mention the reprised melody in she looked like me, end of love is everywhere, feeling discincerted, and Matt and Mica (to name the times I’ve noticed it) really puts a bow on a perfect album for me

[@saturo8888]

Brad had the closest reaction to mine of any "react" content. It's not only a masterpiece, it's almost sad that I know it'll be a while until something comes even close to making me feel like this did. Favorite track is watching TV, and I feel like I strip more layers from it with every listen that somehow relate to my life.

[@foxesamu]

Don’t be sad you won’t get it again, be happy we got it at all ✨

[@krokanjer]

HOW CAN YOU NOT GIVE IT A 10 AFTER THIS!?!??!!?!?!??!?!?!!!l

[@snappytofu2301]

I too feel like this album restored my love for music.

[@elon2707]

Imaginal PEAK. Deserved its high rating

[@mortezz1268]

I missed Brad so much there's nobody like him

[@acoolrocket]

On first listen the album went from "Oh that's pretty great" to having it on loop for 7 hours and realizing the hype is real.

[@Agent-wj1ft]

This album is just so fucking fantastic. It made me cry on public transport too when I first heard it-- fittingly, it was during Cry For Me. It's about learning to love yourself even as you change and that's just so important I'm infinitely glad you care about it as much as I do

[@abrasi0n_faiiry]

best produced album this year, its larger than life and full of emotion. the depth is unreal! glad to see that it moved brad so much.fucking respect

[@michthegrinder1678]

Brad crying because the beauty of the music breaks his soul makes me remember all the reasons why I love being an artist.

[@joshuamoore91]

I'm 14 months into the sobriety train. When you get past the initial chaos of your body and mind not getting it's fix, and you start enjoying life and art without you're a numbing gaze, it can give you a near childlike wonder and appreciation. This album is wonderful.

[@marcolucchin9391]

Can’t blame you for crying, brother. This is the first record in a very long time that’s punched me in the gut this hard emotionally. It is just that gorgeous.

[@TeeHeeTwinkleToes]

This year is 100× better than 2023 in almost every aspect, especially music

[@snora_zzz]

RIGHT, like ive been worried for 2025 since June. EVERYONE is releasing in 2024

[@Thekidwhomadepizza]

@@snora_zzzfor me this is the year where I discovered what I actually want to listen to and added like 800+ songs to my playlist actually awsome year for me

[@EliteSports24]

5:03 “Where did this come from” I couldn’t agree more. This godsend of an album came out of nowhere

[@swosels]

bro's going through it ❤

[@earlisonline]

Not gonna lie, this album made me realize that I love music too. Vampire in the corner alone gives you such a great euphoric feeling, like if you watched a multiple-awarded movie for the first time in a jam packed theater

[@orkazzz2733]

im so happy that this album connected to you in a way that got to your heart

[@SlamJamMusic]

14:35 nahhhhh brad wtf was that lmfaoooo

[@corbin7691]

Imaginal discs are the tissue that undergo metamorphosis in insect larva. They are adjacent to the brain in the larval stage, and are what become the fully realized adult insect. Very interesting to have an album, at least partially, inspired by this!

[@Sundownn1]

This video got me into the album

[@TheZenomeProject]

Almost certainly my personal record of the year and a (very) rare 10/10 from me. Every song on this goes hard, even the interlude tracks. The concluding track, my personal favorite on the album, has some of the most experimental and progressive song structures and dynamics written into pop music in decades.

[@judahbestyt]

The way you processed this album is the same way I process the Fishmans live album, so I can understand what it means for you and I loved seeing your first time experience. It’s definitely one of the best of the year, wishing you the best❤

[@TheCicada]

Jesus seeing Brad cry made me cry too. Death and Romance is one of my favorite songs of all time and it kills me seeing someone else connect to it (and this entire album) on such a similar level.

[@romerite]

Imaginal Taste in Music is so funking back lfg

[@TheRoyalTamarin]

I had the luxury of being able to see their tour and it was amazing. The set was so nice and magdalena bay is an amazing duo.

[@worldfrost]

yeah this is easily my album of the year so far, true blue interlude had me ascending when I first heard it

[@badlula17]

Glad you finally got to album of the year!

[@timt9625]

To me this album was a grower, wasnt really into at first but still shocked at how good some of the songs and especially outros were. I was more sitting there with my jaw open sometimes rather than crying, but love your reaction to Vampire lol. A few listens later though, everything has kind of "clicked" and its really great!

[@xcBlackDiamond]

“Overachieving beyond words” is a good way to sum up a lot of the run time on this album honestly

[@jordanmalone2547]

With everything going on in your life, it makes perfect sense this album made you feel the way you did throughout this entire reaction, it was beautiful and so human man. Was tearing up on vampire in the corner. It’s cathartic and just very very wholesome Bradley, life is getting better and the music just heals along the way. ❤ love ya buddy

[@vin7310]

ooh im more happy brad liked this than anyone else on youtube

[@UnusualShrimp]

Started crying during fear & sex too during my first listen lmao, I completely understand those feelings. Album of the year imo

[@samcanfield4916]

These are my favorite kind of reactions you do. Please continue!!

[@addeo_arch]

You emotionally/crying reacting to this album earned the sub! So real to just put that energy out there

[@TheRoyalGuardian]

I'm glad someone feels the same way I do about this album. This album is arguably DECADES ahead of its time

[@scottwatrous]

I absolutely love this album and it's in the AOTY spot for absolutely sure. First physical CD I've bought in about a decade. All of the sounds are so on point, at all times, it is always funky, always fresh, always driving forward even when it's taking a breather, the album just doesn't get old.

[@holgerlarsson7531]

Goat album. The one time I’m happy to see Brad cry.

[@indoorpark6577]

I couldn't help but laugh at this reaction even though I totally get it and think it's beautiful. Seeing them live was a transformative experience

[@SlamJamMusic]

Such a valid reaction to this music. favorite album to come out of the last decade easy

[@Funtimefreddysgf]

I love this whole album it’s so amazing. Death and Romance genuinely had me dancing every time. Brad crying is 100% valid.

[@MamaCrackacorn]

Man I didn’t cry on my first listen but I was close bc I’ve been fed up with a lot of recent music I 10000000% agree this album is so refreshing & good & I was literally waiting with baited breath to see ur reaction bc I KNEW this would be a banger video

[@voidtofillNC]

Love the return of music matching images during death and romance, this album is immaculate

I cried to him crying to this 😭

really excited the edited reaction videos are back!!! especially with a fucking masterpiece like this album,, god what a journey

[@pitchu5366]

Been a couple months since it's release and it's safe to say it's already my favorite album ever made. It's like if 2 extremely talented artists came together to make the best music they can possibly do

[@mortezz1268]

Ever?????

[@webbeyy]

death and romance song of the decade (happy ur doing well brad)

[@tylord97]

Not ashamed to say I've cried to this album a number of times and cried along with you watching this reaction. This album just tugs at human emotions in all the right ways. Easily my favorite of the year and the most I've connected with an album in YEARS.

[@kurt4152]

This is the best reaction ive seen for this masterpiece, i listened to it like this too, so freaking good

[@Rdogg420]

This is the only appropriate response to the album.

[@kelsey3576]

brad wordlessly sobbing to this album is such a mood

[@nikkilev78]

This is a wonderful reaction Brad! Imaginal Disk has been head to head with Brat for best of the year since it came out for me and you're very honest and beautiful reaction here might have convinced me this is the best. Tearing up as you are, wow! Also, I'm so glad your back man, missed you while you were gone and I hope all is well in your world! Sorry for the sappy comment, but hey ID brings out the emotions.

[@ZenixRulez]

thanks braddy

Im enjoying the content so much more, I'm starting to like your personality again 😁. Also this album is so insanely good, I can't believe I waited so long to play it

[@Nat_Breth15]

A truly phenomenal album, got to give a big thanks to you for introducing me to Mag Bay a while back with you lose. I'm so glad to have caught this on release.

[@Cinder36]

I wish there was more of the songs in this video! There's like 15 seconds for each song. Magdalena Bay isn't owned by any label either so there's no real point. 😭 Still love seeing you enjoy tf put of this tho!

[@xaviera4810]

I never thought a reaction to my AOTY would be a hard watch

[@squidmeister425]

He’s back I’m so happy. Thank you for coming back with such a great album and enjoying it so so so much

[@Maskedrin2210]

Hey Brad, I haven’t checked you out since you reacting to Melanie, and I’m really glad ur doing ok by this reaction. This is my AOTY

[@georgetanner9953]

Legitimately one of the most well produced albums I’ve ever heard & probably my favorite of the 2020’s so far. Also, their Nashville concert is probably the best show I’ve ever been to

[@jojojojojojodesu176]

lol i thought i was the only one cried. live you brad

[@balintnemes6774]

"My album made you cry and you gave it only a 9?"

[@illusionofartYT]

omg you almost made me wanna cry, this is by far your best and my favorite reaction of yours! I dont always agree with every take you have on albums but i agree that this one was something special, last album that makes me felt this way was brat (for different reasons) and renaissance from beyonce! another album with amazing transitions, atmosphere and queer joy!

[@acclant]

cry for me probably one of the best songs ever made 🤷‍♂🤷‍♂
