Mac Miller - Circles FULL ALBUM REACTION!!

[@brynn7064]

Also, I just want to say... it doesn’t matter when you found him or his music, your feelings are valid and genuine. Thank you

[@drunk3n_m0nk12]

Exactly, I was reading comments on the music videos full of negativity towards people just now starting to listen to him. Can't we just be thankful that more people are discovering him and realizing how good of an artist he was? The message is still the same regardless.

[@Aaron-ik6zp]

I became a Mac fan when he dropped swimming

[@conorneary9635]

Exactly found mac when swimming released and it was such a crutch for me through a bad year and as things started to look up recently then seen this album dropped and its perfect it's like the goodbye we needed from mac

Drunk3n_M0nk yeah I hate when “fans” do that. Who cares if u know more. Sadly that happens with artists after they die... Picasso was poor and slept on most of not all his life

[@47swankk]

I absolutely adore this album. Listened to it the minute it came out, straight through, in my room. In the dark and with no distractions. After listening to it tirelessly since it’s release, I can safely say this is one of my favorite albums of all time. Thank you to Malcom’s family and Jon Brion for keeping his vision alive and true. Malcom, your legacy will live on forever. We love you.

[@dannywilliams3764]

Same thing for me. In the dark, eyes closed, tears seeping out.

It's perfect, it's like he's saying how ok it is, it's fine to go to the other side, he's okay and it's crazy how well he did it, basically showing that he knew he was going to die, imo its an album that could be called "I'm okay, and it wasn't your fault"

[@ericpauley1067]

Beautifully put

[@JungleNymph13]

Miguel Bernardes please don’t man, I know you’re trying to be nice but no one knew he was going to overdose, he didn’t know. And although it sounds like he’s saying it’s ok it’s not... don’t assume that because his death could have been prevented... and he would still be here, and this album would be less of a goodbye and more of a cry for help. I love that man so much, and forever will and he needed help.. To infinity and beyond my sweet soul. I love you Mac so much ❤️

[@Point_n_Shoot]

ShaniaMelanie 17 He mentioned overdosing / death a lot, in interviews and music. As he became more involved with heavier drugs he acknowledged the possibility of him overdosing by doing too much, or getting something laced. He ended a few albums like they’re send offs just in case he passed. He sounded more tired and resigned on later projects, not like he wanted to die necessarily, but like he wasn’t fighting it anymore. He seemed like he started embracing the possibility, and he was kinda coping by being honest with himself. That’s just my opinion though, based on my personal connection to his music. We don’t get to hear him say how he feels about these things anymore unfortunately, but this is a great project that gives some closure.

Cudi's influence in music is understated. Mac miller will probably birth a new generation of artists... not just rappers or hip hop artists. Just such a tragic loss.

[@joe.c780]

EsotericShiv agreed

[@paymycollegefam6167]

Mac Miller's Circles left me feeling complete, his work was abruptly interrupted and swimming left me looking for a continuation. Circles is a conclusion to his life's work to me personally.

[@gino4tune]

Its crazy how I feel the exact same way

[@DurOIOP]

It's almost like he meant to Also represent the circle of life with title and his part and presence in it at the point of its release.... Almost as if he knew... Almost

[@sk8neverdiez]

Maybe that's what bothers me the most

[@sergejmilinkovic3876]

@dur oiup, it does rep the circle of life... you start again with kids all the way to circles where it ends :)

[@Gutileonardo1]

It's so good that I'm afraid to never hear anything new from him :( , but he left so many great music

[@CheeseyMilkshakes]

It's crazy that this is a posthumous album, it's 100% finished and in my opinion, perfect. Possibly Macs best album, only faces could top it imo

[@sarapontes7618]

agreed. faces is one of his best projects ever if not the best but it's very slept on

[@jazzyb3424]

I can’t compare faces and older stuff to the stuff he released near the end and stuff like this album, he grew beyond rap music and infused so much more than hip hop music

[@Mqxwell]

@@jazzyb3424 The only thing I'd have to disagree on is saying Faces is just hip hop. It obviously has more hip hop vibes than Circles, for example, but Faces was so much more than just hip hop. Tons of jazz influence, psychedelic rock, and hip hop are the few I can think off the top of my head. Paired with poetic bars and out of this world beats I'd say Faces still tops it. I do recognize that I'm biased, and I might not be able to give an objective view on the matter, so this is mostly just my thoughts. I truly love all of Mac's music though everything from before 09 to present, Faces just has a special place in my life that nothing else from Mac or any other artist can even compare to. Have a lovely day :)

[@jazzyb3424]

Bewix oh no doubt no worries, I wasn’t really trying to say his older stuff is strictly hip hop though because he’s always had deep influences in other genres, I just mean the newest of his work he was doing so much non rap stuff that it’s really hard to even consider it that, like he’s playing the instruments, singing, he was also becoming more singing dominant when it came to vocals, he just wasn’t rapping anymore, and a lot of times you can go through multiple tracks without him really going in for bars at all. I definitely agree with all the things you’re saying though I just needed to explain myself a little better, we can all definitely agree it was a blessing to have a guy like Mac making music!

[@Mqxwell]

@@jazzyb3424 Total facts. I'm not very religious, but I know we're blessed to have heard and seen such a legend live. When I was younger and hearing projects like Faces for the first time I always had these thoughts of showing my kids (if I have some) his music and I always wondered what Mac would look like when he was 70/80.. Of course, I won't be able to find out the answer to my question, but I most definitely will be sharing his music with anybody who hasn't heard as time goes on. I do also hope we get a collection of unreleased stuff. Obviously, I don't think they can release something as cohesive and complete as Circles, but I'd love to hear the hundreds of ideas he had. I also know that in doing so, his family has to almost relive this tragedy and I completely understand wanting to have time to heal/find peace. I mean, I'm sure no amount of time can ever really heal somebody after what happened, but maybe in a few years, I'd love to hear more. Peace and love to his family and all you out there :)

I was waiting for this and didn’t want to watch any other people review it until I’d seen yours!! I really love this album and feel like it’s exactly how Mac would have wanted it.

[@so_5464]

Perfect way to end his discography. Legendary album. love to his family who actually thought this out and didn’t do it for a blatant money grab. they actually care. Also jon brion said mac and him done about 95% of it already so it’s not like mac had hardly any input the album is pretty much exactly how he wanted to put it out as. What I’d love to know was if Arianas background vocals in “i can see” were already in the song before he passed.

[@dannywilliams3764]

I really hope they release more of his songs, we all know there are hundreds more. I just want it let out the right way.

[@BitSku77]

Holy shit, I didn't even catch her vocals in the background until I read this comment and listened for it!

[@italiandomain1341]

Danny Williams although I love Mac Miller, and it would be great for more of his music but I think this album was a good way to end it all. Once a day was a perfect finale for it all

[@swtrissa]

Jon recently said that the family gave him some tracks that mac was working on independently, “i can see” was one of them. as for ariana’s vocals in the background, he said “i believe they are...i mean it was already a pre-existing track...i played with some things on those tracks to make them feel like the others, but those vocals were already there. it wasn’t like an executive decision or anything.”

[@audreyelizabeth2]

yeah the vocals are definitely arianas. they’re extremely clear. “i can see” is such a beautiful song and hearing her voice in the background just makes it so much sadder.

[@jtet1619]

listen to Swimming entirely straight into Circles and repeat...they flow seamlessly into eachother and its exactly like his cycle of drug use, you can hear the come down and relapse

[@ssmaamam]

That's a beautiful way of looking at it man, I really think you hit the nail on the head. It's just a shame no one could break the circle but I guess at least Mac was content with his end.

It doesn't matter if you found him 2 days ago, before he died, after he died, the day he dropped his first mixtape, whenever. All that matters is that his music has moved you. He would be happy knowing that you heard anything by him. Don't think your enjoyment is less so because you weren't his first fan.

Shawn Cee said something really nice and i can picture what he said perfectly, he said this Record feels like Mac looking Down From where he is and saying: "Im alright guys" it feels like hes on a field with flowers with warm Summer breeze and just writing these beautiful Tracks with a guitar. Hes saying "all of this is not bad. Death isnt that scary and im okay its beautiful for me here where i am" i love this Album and it changed my perspective on death and how we treat mental issuses and death itself. Watch the Reaction from Shawn Cee to this Record if you want i think he perfectly nails it Down how i feel about it

There are very few artists I connect with more than on a musical level. Mac was one of those artists for me. Like everyone else says, I feel like I lost a friend I've never met. For me it was his truthfulness, his rawness, and the willingness to just put all of his life out there to everyone through music. It was almost like venting when I listened to his albums. He spoke to me truthfully, venting his issues/life situations and in turn it caused me to be honest with myself about the issues/situations I was going through. I'll forever be grateful for that. RIP Mac. This was a beautiful ending to your beginning.

[@JoshSilverStacker]

Absolutely agreed. 100 percent.

[@DaniiDomingos]

Been listening to swimming and circles at the same time - so ‘come back to earth’ followed by ‘circles’ and then ‘Hurt Feelings’, ‘Complicated’ and so on... it works, its so intense... these two albums are a masterpiece

[@eliebillon2376]

DANIII that’s a genius idea🤯, I’m about to try that thanks for the inspiration! :)

[@elycebishop1914]

I’m in the same boat as you, sadly discovered his music after his death. Still, depending on your life experience and relationship with darkness, addiction, and just the human experience, it affects you. Chris Cornell was an artist I loved my entire life and consumed all his works real time. Mac hurts almost as much because you just...know. Bravo sir, your reactions are so genuine and you articulate what a lot of us can’t.

[@tinyandterrible]

this album was so cathartic for me. i've always struggled with depression. it's a mental state that not many can understand and truly empathize with. mac could always so eloquently put into words the way your thoughts just eat you alive. the highs and incredibly low lows that make you feel like you're running in circles. i didn't give mac a chance until swimming, and now the loss of someone who truly gets it, who was so like me, is so profound that it's haunting. the acceptance he felt about his end being near, the yearning for a future he may never have, the accountability heard in 'that's on me' -- it all just kills me. but this album lets me know he'd come to a peace and he very obviously wanted us all to know that. i have so much respect for him. this album reminded me of elliott smith, of course, with touches of neutral milk hotel, all with mac's unique vibe. i'll always be sad that we couldn't see where mac may have gone, that maybe he would have come out on the other side and found real contentedness, but i'll always love him for being who he was and bringing awareness to the fact that life isn't for everyone. money won't make you happy. your squad can't save you from yourself. a relationship can't change who you are. be patient with yourself and find your own peace. thank you for your work on this, jon. i know youtube is being a real dick about it. lots of the other reactions are relatively vapid, which is fine if you're only listening and judging this album like you would any other hip hop project, but it's apparent you feel connected to mac's work, too. it's so nice to see people come together for him.

This feeling I got from this album was indescribable and I was struggling with why I couldn’t sum up my feelings.

I felt exactly the same when hearing this album for the first time from start to finish. And still smiling everytime i hear it. And i already lost count on how many times i listened to this album since release yesterday. First time was 6 am friday morning January 17th. I'm in the car on my way to work and i'm glad that i need to travel 50 miles. By the time i arrived at my work i finished the whole album. And while listening to it, i was crying in my car, but with a big smile 😄 What an absolute pleasure to hear this masterpiece . Swimming is one of my favorite albums of all time. In 2019 i played it more than 80 hours on Spotify. With Circles i'm easaliy going over 80 hours in 2020. Swimming in Circles is perfect!! I'm already playing these two albums straight in a row. God i love this. Thank you for this great first reaction video...love to see you enjoying it as i do. And thank you Mr Mac Miller for these two masterpieces in Swimming and Circles. R.I.P. Ps: and when i came home in the evening, i found out that all tracks have visuals🔥🥳 Oh and did you know that Everybody is a cover? (The original is amazing to but Mac did it superb!!)

[@nickslater8939]

This album is so beautiful, and you took the words from my mouth when you said it wouldn’t sound the same if he was here, but this is perfect for the circumstances, and they still managed to make the album feel so pure! No other artist will ever be like Mac, his growth was a slow one, and he only truly found himself on Swimming, and Circles. I grew up with Mac, listening to KIDS and Best Day Ever when I was 16. It hard to comprehend how far he’s come, and how much his music matured. Mac being gone is a real life nightmare because we all wanted to grow up with him, but Circles gives us all a big hug and says “it’s ok, I’m at peace. Enjoy my music”. Like Miller’s family said, “we are left to imagine where he was going”... this is as special as it is sad, and I know I won’t ever get this feeling again for any other artist or album. So powerful. Love your videos and your reactions, they’re so raw! We all feel what you’re feeling man!

Seeing the evolution from Watching Movies to this is so astounding. Anyone discovering Mac recently absolutely needs to listen to that album.

[@Mqxwell]

​@@austinh8522 Absolutely. Faces, Macadelic, Run On Sentences Vol 1 & 2, Delusional Thomas, GO:OD AM, Blue Slide Park, and basically everything on his Soundcloud are also a must listen if you like Mac. Fuck, basically his entire discography is worth it. There is just so much good music it is almost too much to handle. SO many good features and beats. A ridiculous amount of bars and meaningful lyrics. He truly was something special. He was also always changing and improving. You could listen to all of his music in order and never get bored or feel like he made some song twice, which is absurd considering he made hundreds and hundreds of songs. It makes me so happy to see all the Mac fans and new ones talking about such a great person. It hurts tremendously to see him gone, and I cannot even imagine what his family is going through, but I'm so glad he will not be forgotten and his life is truly being celebrated. A legend never dies.

It couldn't have turned out better! Total chills through the whole thing. My niece has one of the top fan pages on Instagram and put together his Birthday get together for tomorrow. She made the Pittsburg news paper. We are both hug fans and always will be. I still can't believe the kid is gone!

[@pez_the_person]

Never heard it put into better terms. A true privilege...... blessed to have Mac Miller’s art and story in our lives. Thank you Jon

[@shockerzmedia5129]

Amazing reaction, completely genuine and full of heart. Love it! Keep up the good work! LLM🕊

[@jastenhalvorsen5234]

Your reactions are the only ones im able to watch. You get so into the music and i love it. and mac has gotten me through so much bs. Especially this last year. Thank you for reacting to this. I cried through the whole album. Rip to a true legend.

[@0hsy]

i was supposed to finally meet mac on the swimming tour after listening to him and seeing him on the go:od am tour. I feel privileged just being able to have seen him live. But man i miss this man. Hes impacted my life so much and im forever thankful. Hopefully i can thank him one day in heaven.

[@justinbonilla6961]

Jon! your musical prowess shows every video man. So many reaction channels simply hear the song, you actually "HEAR" the song, behind the words and behind the instruments..You've grown so much, to the point where you are more knowledgable than a lot of life long fans of Hip Hop and Rap. Nothing you does comes off ingenuous, all authentic. It makes every video you do special. Excellent job JD. Excellent.

[@JonDenton]

Thank you

[@barbararibeiro2643]

U used the perfect word for this album: pleasure. It really is a pleasure to all of us, fans, and people who are discovering his music right now to see such an amazing piece of art. I'm just in love with this album. Of course, it's sad to hear some things, think about what he was passing and how he was feeling at the time, but at the same time is so comforting, make us feel all the love and energy of having one last Mac thing. I don't know about the others, but that album passed, at least for me, a message like "besides all the things, i'm trying, i'm fighting and i'm ok". So yeah, "pleasure" it's just the perfect word for this

Been a fan of Mac Miller since his High Life mixtape in 2009. I had met Mac twice. Once when we were randomly at the same club in Columbus, Ohio and I just happened to be wearing a Most Dope t-shirt. He noticed my shirt & invited me & a few friends to come kick it in VIP with him and his crew. We got drunk af with Mac & the Most Dope crew and they are still to this day some of the coolest people I've ever met. We vibed & cracked jokes like we'd all been friends our whole lives. Easy to say it was one of the best nights of my life. Then a couple months later when Mac was performing in Columbus I bought tickets to go see him. We got there super early to be towards the front of the line for general admission. While we were waiting in line, Mac & Clockwork came over to a gate to say hello to some of his fans. He instantly noticed me and came out and gave me a hug and laughed about that night at the club. He was just a real genuine good dude. When he passed it felt like I lost a friend. Because I did. Since he passed the question of why has bothered me. Why did he get to the point that he was abusing drugs so much that they took his life? This album helped me to realize that he was such a selfless person that he didn't want to put the burden of his problems & his thoughts on anyone else. I myself suffer from this same problem. But Mac has inspired me to talk to the people I love most not only about my problems & how they can help but also how I can help them with theirs. Mac was a good soul who has inspired millions of people in many different ways and his music will live on through us. Rest in peace Malcolm McCormick. We miss you brother

[@kevinry4n]

This has got to be the best reaction yet. The connection between you and Mac’s music is so real, so pure, so emotional. I salute you both... rest in peace Mac, and thank you Jon!

[@CandymanSEHTx713]

Everybody. That song definently feels like 60's or 70's. Something my momma would listen to and appreciate.

[@NoxBruh]

I'm a little late, but it actually is! It's a cover of an Arthur Lee song of a similar name - "Everybody's Gotta Live" from 1972.

[@drunk3n_m0nk12]

It truly is a work of art. I've never had an album effect me like this emotionally before. Admittedly I am not a diehard Mac Miller fan and really only started paying attention to him after Macadelic but it doesn't take a diehard fan to appreciate the dedication that Malcom put into his music. It's the goal of the artist to express their emotions in a way that others can understand and relate with. It's for this reason that I feel that this album will go down in history as one of the best examples musically of an artist using their "canvas" to convey their emotions to an audience. Every time I listen through it I find some subtle nuance that just continues to remind of the pure genius songwriting that Malcom was capable of. I am so thankful for his family and Jon Brion making sure this was seen through to completion. I don't think we could ask for better closure.

[@sweetielaliii9626]

This album is very dark to me... it’s almost as he knew he was going to die 😞🥺 #RestEasy

[@afrantz921]

yeah, it's a suicide note

[@axel2565]

you are such a great person, keep on, we love the way you react, full of emotions and respect. Thank you for your reaction! ❤🙏

[@meganchipley2305]

a group hug for all of his fans :(

[@nickyrocks2]

i’m here before it gets taken down

[@maancarolina]

I also thought that the energy of the album switched with woods. Absolutely loved it. Mac’s legacy will live forever!

[@Dnahavok]

Can’t express how much I appreciate you and your reactions to this work of art. Thanks so much, man

[@inlesinlet]

Yes. Much FEEL. (I found him about a year ago. Never felt like this about a musician/celebrity before, but I feel a need to stretch out and hug him, be his friend.)

[@ovas2970]

Jon... you expressed everything I feel while listing to this album. Love ur reactions man such a genuine guy.

[@deborah7765]

Been waiting for this reaction since the first day the album was released. I’m in awe of this album. Simply beautiful, his voice so pure 💓

[@B3autyflow]

This just feels like one of those albums you could just get lost in while laying in a calm environment. Literally just enough the moment ❤️ Gorgeous gift from Mac

[@seth6200]

Noice def my new favorite album had it in repeat all day

[@poofypeanut0221]

No words man. Not only is this album just a beautiful masterpiece to put it simply, but your review of his music so far has really struck a chord with me. You appreciate the music in such a similar way to me as it seems and you come across so genuine and real in your videos. Anyway, just wanted to thank you for your time and effort on these. There’s a sense togetherness I feel about Mac’s music and his fan base. It’s like we’re all on the same vibe that love Mac. Keep it up man and can’t wait to hear you review his other work!

[@susana3618]

I adore your reactions dude! love mac as well, thank u for honoring him

[@ashleyannelizabeth3998]

Thank you for enjoying his work, his art. It truly is a privilege, his new album has been on repeat 🖤 and itll be a constant in my life for sure. I found your channel because of your Good News Reaction, thanks for your honesty and true emotions. Thanks.

[@SadGodKamina]

Hey, the final song “once a day”. There is an unplugged version on SoundCloud. It’s titles “a celebration of life”. And it’s so beautiful, feels completely different, you should really check it out! Also the way you describe this album is so on point. It’s nothing more than utterly beautiful, I love your content and I’m so happy that you’re checking out Mac Miller. Most Dope Forever. 92 til infinity 💙

[@erickthevegan]

Watching your album reactions is one of my favorite things to do whilst tripping or rolling because there's just so much emotion involved when you listen. You listen with your heart and really appreciate the music and it feels so good to have someone appreciate the music as much as I do.

[@figlerem]

I'm so glad that you feel this connection with Mac like we do. No matter if you became a fan before or after his passing, it truly means a lot to us that your reactions and words are thought out so fluently and beautifully. Thank you from all of us.

[@TheFilmSpace1]

Rest In Peace MAC. Great album !! Been listening to Mac since 09. Saved me from allot. Highlights are I Can See, Hands, Once a Day and more

[@DawwgHouse]

[@bernietoth]

Your reaction videos of late to mac miller have been simply beautiful. They have been quite therapeutic when combined with his music. Thank you. Nobody could do it better
