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.
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

@@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
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
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
This album came out of nowhere for me and SLAPPED me in the face with the groove and I haven’t shut up about it for the last few weeks since I first heard it. PLZ do a video for Mercurial World, it’s also dope afffff 🤓
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

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 🪩💓💓
i’ve been a magdalena bay STAN since like their first single in 2017 and have seen them in concert twice. Sooo exciting to follow them and watch their growth. please listen to their previous album Mercurial World!!
First time watching a video from you. This has been my top album of the year since it’s release and I am also a massive OP fan. This album is so immersive that it took me 5min to notice the hats and the Jolly Roger. Really enjoy the reaction so far 🤙
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.
24:08 One of my fave details on this album (if you're listening with headphones) is that you can hear the synthesiser slowing creeping left and right in the back of your ears. It's so creepy but also kinda beautiful (like this album!)
It always surprises me how well the editor blends different sections of the song together to feel seamless yet still try to skirt the DMCA. Good stuff!
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 !!
NO WAY NO WAY NO WAY NO WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY YOU ARE DOING MAGDALENA BAY AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. I AM SO HAPPY THAT THIS ALBUM WAS BIG ENOUGH TO GET THIS MUCH ATTENTION UGH, AS IT SHOULD, ALBUM OF THE YEAR 2024 AMENNN.
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.
It’s been almost a month already since I saw them on their Imaginal Mystery Tour, it was one of the most amazing live shows I’ve been to and I’m still not over it or this album 💿💖
you should listen to mercurial world!! they also have 3 “mini mixes” that are really fun, and about 45 min combined, so you can treat them as kind of their own album
Your reaction was basically my reaction, but I was listening on my walk to work for my freak out. And I started walking in circles to delay my arrival because I could not stop listening till the end. The last time I did that was with Janelle Monae’s The Chase Suite, and that was like 15 years ago listening to a CD Walkman…
MINIMIX VOL 3 is also something thats more recent than Mecurial World but before this album, YOU GOTTA HEAR THE SOUNDS IN THERE, even if its just on your own, everything flows its magical
I don’t think I’ve listened to anything but this album for the past 2 weeks

ugh right. all the mediocre popular stuff gets the most views but hidden gems like this stay underrated
I need videos like this so I can find new cool music to listen to!
Right! Love hearing him nerd out about synth choices
yes!!!

Crazy, someone said this was AOTY on Reddit so I looked up ‘HTHaze Magdalena Bay’ and you posted 2-hours ago!
@@jb1996 totally agree- I love that album sm!!!!

this album is out of this world. AOTY strong contender for me!!
Can’t believe that you dropped this only a couple hours after I started listening to their album for the first time today! Perfect timing!
watched this live and couldn't wait to watch it again
Also i'm seeing them live tomorrow and cannot wait
@AlexShannon i saw them in philly, you’re in for a treat! have fun man!
sincerely the greatest thing i've listened to in a minute, maybe ever
Lowkey this album feels like i'm strapped to a chair in a high-tech facility and the music is being injected into my brain
0:59 DROPOUT/MAKE SOME NOISE MENTION OMG!!!
OH MY GODDDDD IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THAT SO BAD
Yeah, this album ruled. I may have been one of the chorus suggesting it, because it's a very Troy album from the production standpoint.
omg i saw them live last night, this is boutta be so fire. they put on an absolutely insane show, just as impressive live!

The pitching up and down on Image just tickles my brain. It’s been stuck in my head since first listen.
i think tunnel vision happens or ends idk 22 minutes after the album, just like they said in image « 22 more minutes »
Listening to this album is like reading a really good book that you just can't put down. I hope that makes sense
bless your soul for this man this album is such a masterpiece 😭🙏 also LOVING the midwest princess hat i see ur a full blown pink pony now
This reaction stream has been my comfort video for like a month I'm SO READY for the edit omg

She Looked Like Me "bang bang and it's customary, ordinary"
The Ballad of Matt & Mica "bang bang and a happy ending" "not ordinary"
Absolutely love magdelena bay!!! So happy they've gotten more recognision and totally recommend 'mercurial world' !!!!
this video comes out the day i see mag bay on tour hell yesssss
I’m actually so shocked that you reviewed this at literally the exact same time I’m obsessed with Death and Romance and Image
idk why but i've come back to this intro like a million times so far 😂

Mds, como eu estava ansioso por isso, melhores edições de react só aqui💙

you should listen to mercurial world!! they also have 3 “mini mixes” that are really fun, and about 45 min combined, so you can treat them as kind of their own album
This album is sometimes hard to digest but that just makes me listen on repeat. Really incredible production 10/10
needed my dose of magdalobotomy today ❤ 10/10 album its like wood soup asmr in my brain
Did not realise that troy was a fellow dropout subscriber
lets fucking go!!!!!!! cant wait for you to hear the rest of their music
Reaaally hoping to see them live they’re so awesome so talented
I’ve seen and adored the cover, I’ll have to give the music itself a second chance!
Dude, I want you to listen to all my favourite music cause it’s such a blast to watch you listen to music.
seeing this album live cemented it as AOTY for me
Was able to go to their concert recently in TN, it was MAGICALLLLL they're still touring for a second if yall can catch it !! It's SO FRICKIN WORTH
When I got to Death & Romance I knew I was hearing my favorite album of the year
My favorite album in a very long time. First time seeing your videos, loved the reaction
Your enthusiasm is infectious!
Fell in love with this album while in Spain. Listening to it near everyday for the last 6 weeks
So glad you reacted to that album, it's my aoty so far!
this my fav review channel in the whole wide world easy
I literally just search for new reactions to this album everyday and somehow I missed this one for a month. Hyped to check this out
I would like to sincerely thank you troy for introducing me to so much new music all the time ❤❤❤
So glad you listened to this one! My fav album of the year so far :) highly recommend listening to submarine by the Marias too!!
I love the editing pookie 😭
I just listened to this yesterday!! Surprisingly into it
Troy please do a Mercurial World reaction, it's synth pop perfection! The synth wizardry on it is absolutely amazing
I loved how this album took me through different visual forms. Like I was transported to video games or retro TV scenes.
YOU NEED TO REACT TO THE NEIGHBOURHOOD ASAPPPPP I LOVE YOU ALBUM (ALL OF THE ALBUMS ARE SO GOOD) IS SO GOOD

This reaction goes so hard, I've been binging this song on repeat and you nerding out was so vindicating 😩
Mag Bay is just beginning to show us what they are capable of. Enjoy the unfolding!
Ive been listening to them since 2020 and im so happy with their success, i hope they keep releasing bangers back to back cuz they never miss 😍😍😍
OH IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE (seeing them live changed me)
Death and Romance is definitely the perfect song from them, incredible album.
oh I've been waiting for this one🙏🏻🙏🏻 easily one of my favorite albums of the year
everyone PLEASE go to the imaginal mystery tour honestly one of the best live shows i’ve seen
I love this album so much listen to it daily and cry for me, vampire in the corner, image and death and romance are my current favorites
