Going by my Spotify stats, I'm pretty sure I've listened to it over a dozen times. Maybe almost 2 dozen times now... There's just so much to unpack and discover on each listen. Recency bias be damned I think this is genuinely an instant top-5 album of all time for me.
I think nearly half of the fanbase is stoners which could explain part of it lmao. When I saw the mercurial world live concert one of the secrets was "I get really high to listen to magdalena bay" and the ENTIRE crowd went fucken crazy
I have a cousin from Puerto Rico who wishes to make music like this, but in Spanish. Unfortunately she feels like this kind of music won’t be appreciated. I just told her to go for it. The world is bigger than Puerto Rico. I get hip hop and reggaeton are very popular down there both musically and culturally, but it would be great to hear more of this kind of music from Latin artists
Pues sí, sería muy chevere tener artistas latinos que canten este género... Mica es argentina xd. De todas formas no hace mal intentar, después de todo es algo que le gusta
She should definitely go for it. The scene here (Puerto Rico) exists, although small, people would definitely enjoy it. If she ever does do it, please share her @.
huh the commenters were right, the cool(est) part of tunnel vision is right around 22 minutes from where they say "22 more minutes" in image. neat! I bet the album is chock full of similar awesome details. one more I think I noticed: there are two sort of Mica voices in tunnel vision, the narrative singing from the beginning, and the increasingly insistent "can I get, can I get out" voice later in the song . . . accompanied by percussive knocking sounds that are spare at first but also get steadily more powerful, culminating in the drum break. like the second Mica voice/image is trying to break into (tunnel into?) the first one, and the cool part is the two of them merging. and when that's complete we get "love is everywhere" (with its "dreams so big of a hive-like mind"). or something, I dunno, I just freakin love it. thanks Matt/Mica! e: just prior to tunnel vision, the final lines of watching tv are "it's time to meet the monsters inside you"--also consistent with this notion of something trapped or otherwise confined trying to break in/out
This is the kind of album that comes out every so often and reminds me why I fell in love with music in the first place since it stands out so distinctly. Thank you, Matt and Mica.
went into this album completely blind, never having heard a magbay song before. I heard people raving about it, so i was intrigued but sceptical; surely its not _that_ amazing as people claim it is. ...yeah this is my AOTY now, and considering how fierce the competition for that spot is in 2024, thats a huge compliment
The advertising that cuts the best song of the album ''Cry for me'' in two is just frustrating! That's a song that calls you to be immersed in it. A genius piece.
Do you guys notice the sound of the very first second of the album? It is identical to the song "The Beginning" from the album "Mercurial World" in the last second of it. I've tried it, and it does transition between the albums!!
Thankful they did this because this album is absolutely best listened to in full. It’s amazing that we’ve been hearing discourse about the death of the album due to streaming and then the best album experience of the year is a pop record. Pop is truly becoming such a powerful force right now for actual musicianship and it’s beautiful to see
Anyone who says that is lying, there's 4 truly great albums that are best listened to front to back out this year already, expecting more. it's August.
I KNOWWWWW, so gooooood. I've never heard such psychedelic/melodic/creative sounds and melodies. Her voice is so adorable, cute and sassy especially on that song. PURE GENIUS and the transition to the next song
absolutely insane, i expected them to outdo mercurial world (which was already great) but i didnt think it'd be by leaps and bounds. this is legitimately one of the best pop records ive heard in my entire life
Out of the the thousands of albums I've heard, found this one a couple weeks ago and it's the only album ever that I was entranced by the second it played. Got the vinyl and wow. "Looking in the mirror, swallowing the key" knocked me back
How did they do it so that almost every song on this album is cathartic? This album just knows exactly how to maintain an emotional connection with the listener throughout its entire length
You guys made a killer album. Damn. I'm loving the melodies, atmosphere, and lyrics. It feels like pulsing surrealism and a touch of whimsy/heartbreak.
Y'all already made one of the best pop albums ever 3 years ago u did *not* need to go this all out for the comeback but I'm so glad u did. Idk if I'll hear another album from this year that sounds this good.
I totally missed buying tickets for their show in Berlin. Luckily, they changed venues so sale was reopened and I got 2. YAIY! It gon b awesomeeeeeeeeeeeeee! 🥳
The best thing is that my life actually changed in a significant way a couple of days ago and Mag Bay is just here to provide the best soundtrack to that 🩵Love you fellow MagBaes and thank you Mom Mica and Dad Matt for existing 🙏🏻
After about 5 or 6 listens, gotta say I really dig this. Very tight and catchy pop album with some sick disco bass lines and orchestration. image, cry for you, and the bookend 1st\final tracks are real standouts for me, but a great album as a whole overall. Thanks for making it, and making it available to listen to!
I had never heard of MB before a few days ago when Spotify played a song off this album. I can't believe it just barely came out! The production is on another level.
just a casual masterpiece for the fans
no way prezoh is a magbay fan
omg i did not expect u here
Hi prezoh are you up magging your bay
il yprezoh
gayzoh
I am absolutely obsessed with this album rn. I want to eat this album
Getting out the vintage dinnerware
Feeling DiskInserted?
i want it in my blood
Tastes like The Cosmos
headphones aren't enough i need the song up my ass
Posting the whole album for listening shows how confident they are that it's so good people will have no choice but to buy it-- which I just did.
i'm waiting till bandcamp friday so they get all my moneys
will be purchasing the vinyl asap
Gang shit. I get the red vinyl tomorrow!
wait, what do you mea- HOLY SMOKES, MAGDALENA HERSELF POSTED THIS!!!????
wat. youtube is a streaming service
I'm not addicted I can stop listening any time I want to
Proud addict here lol
Yeah, I keep telling myself that...
omg, almost a week and can't stop listening
Going by my Spotify stats, I'm pretty sure I've listened to it over a dozen times. Maybe almost 2 dozen times now... There's just so much to unpack and discover on each listen. Recency bias be damned I think this is genuinely an instant top-5 album of all time for me.
I, however, cannot.
*SHARE A LITTLE KISS AND THAT'S FOREVER, THINK OF LOVE WHEN YOU REMEMBER ME!*
Dude, "Cry for me" is just way too perfect to exist. It's like ABBA on psychedelics!
that song is the definition of perfect
RIGHTTTTT
Thanks Magdalena Bay for existing 🙏😭
Thank god for imaginal disk😭🙏
Justo lo iba a decir en español.
This album is gonna be on repeat for a while. We have been blessed
they went and actually made the music you constantly look for but can never seem to find
this is the PRETTIEST ALBUM OF THE YEAR thank you so much matt and mica
Brat Summer has come and gone.
It's Imaginal Disk Autumn.
Charli rocks, and a lot of Brat still rocks, but I love this better and get the hype more.
Brat is lame hype sleazy mess for a generation of empty brain dead meme nihilists.
North hemisphereans got brat summer, us southerners get imaginal disk summer
This is one of my favorite albums in recent history, catchy, weird, fun, and musically genius.
MB fans are the most wholesome group of fans I've ever seen. Just look at these comments. Must be cool to be appreciated like this.
For real!
I think nearly half of the fanbase is stoners which could explain part of it lmao. When I saw the mercurial world live concert one of the secrets was "I get really high to listen to magdalena bay" and the ENTIRE crowd went fucken crazy

nah he sucks surely
In the deluxe version of their last album they did a spanish version of one of their songs and its so good! She should absolutely go for it.
Tell her to harness that kali utchis energy
She should definitely go for it. The scene here (Puerto Rico) exists, although small, people would definitely enjoy it. If she ever does do it, please share her @.
This is definitely an "own on vinyl" type of album.

Just yesterday I was curious about the 22 minutes verse in Image and where would it be time-wise on the album. So happy to find this comment!
found this album by accident
enjoy it 4-5 times a day
who’s up magging their bay rn?
🙋♀️
✋
My disk is inserted.
straight up magging it rn
I'm actually Matting it rn
I'm never ejecting this CD
Yeah I like my forehead intact, lmao
IMAGINAL DISK AUTUMN HAS ARRIVED MAG BAES!!!
dropping the whole album on TH-cam for free is peak

This was posted 21 minutes ago and is over 50 minutes long...
@@FinalManaTrigger This album has been out for 3 days and not 21 minutes actually!
you are like leetle baby. i could say i lost count after 10 or so but that would imply that i was keeping count to begin with lmao
A gd player with good music taste???
@@Repton0 yes! How exciting
AOTY. Album of my life. The cover made me think pop heaven when I saw it and YEP, they did that.
Love you, Magdalena Bay!
The advertising that cuts the best song of the album ''Cry for me'' in two is just frustrating! That's a song that calls you to be immersed in it. A genius piece.
Them putting up an upload of the entire album is a blessing.
Damn, Matt and Mica sound POLISHED on this one. Really amazing production values on this baby.
Do you guys notice the sound of the very first second of the album? It is identical to the song "The Beginning" from the album "Mercurial World" in the last second of it. I've tried it, and it does transition between the albums!!
Shut. Up.
These guys....👌
This is the first time I've heard about a transition between ALBUMS, amazing
@@shiverzhl I love stuff like this. Beach House reversed the last song of an album to be the first on their next album
@@leoholt9543ooh, what albums were they?
@@nwchef Irene from Bloom and Levitation from Depression Cherry. There’re videos on TH-cam of the songs reversed to show the similarity

@@conorgraveswhat are the other 3 in your opinion?
@@hansolzy Porter Robinson's new album might be one of them. It's pop-styled at the least.
@@four_am I agree with that. Porter Robinson, Magdalena and Carli XCX are my top 3 pop releases of the year. Wondering what his other ones are though.
10/10. best album of the millennium. i cant choose the best tracks because every track here is best. this listen was a blessing.
"Vampire in the corner" made me cry! OMG Mica's voice!!!! 😍🤩😍💖
I KNOWWWWW, so gooooood. I've never heard such psychedelic/melodic/creative sounds and melodies. Her voice is so adorable, cute and sassy especially on that song. PURE GENIUS and the transition to the next song
absolutely insane, i expected them to outdo mercurial world (which was already great) but i didnt think it'd be by leaps and bounds. this is legitimately one of the best pop records ive heard in my entire life
17:36 HELLO??? That transition is unbelievable
WE PUTTING DISKS IN OUR HEADS WITH THIS ONE
Lmfao, that got me.
WHITESNAKE
It's insane how easy it is to listen to this album on repeat
Insaneee replay value
Out of the the thousands of albums I've heard, found this one a couple weeks ago and it's the only album ever that I was entranced by the second it played. Got the vinyl and wow. "Looking in the mirror, swallowing the key" knocked me back
its nice to be this early on the album of the decade
this is the best thing I've heard in ages
thank god for magdalena and bay
Finally caved and bought the vinyl! If a record makes me feel this good, how could I not?
Sure I guess I'll listen to this album for the 12th time
How did they do it so that almost every song on this album is cathartic? This album just knows exactly how to maintain an emotional connection with the listener throughout its entire length
The song Killing Time is absolute madness, congratulations on making such an insane album, this is amazing
this is some of the best music ive ever heard
Finally giving this a listen after a friend was begging me to, and WOW this is really good :D. This is going on repeat for a while.... 💿😈
now that's a good friend right there
its been maybe a decade since i just kept listening to an album on loop back to back. i cannot insert the imaginal disk into my brain hard enough
All the songs are amazing, but Vampire and Watching T.V is such perfection
Genuinely these two are kinda my top two but the whole album is SOSOSO GOOOODDDD I'm still contemplating
Everyday I got a new song as my favorite LOL
i love u pls dont die
doesnt get much better than this
omg jecka hi
Love all the tempo-changes, adorable and trippingly haunting! Looking forward to seeing you perform in DC
This album is out of this world! You guys are so talented!!
this whole album is fire but goddamn, the closing ballad is just *chef's kiss*
I've listened to this duo a lot - Imaginal Disk really may be their best album yet - much praise and thanks to you both.
this entire album is so frutiger aero coded, I'm obsessed
Lost track of how many times I've listened to the album already. I love ittt!!
The way my entire brain rewired by the end of Vampire In The Corner...
Had to hold my damn breath
from Brazil and DISBELIEF how this album is gorgeous and so f perfect
Album do anooooo
You guys made a killer album. Damn. I'm loving the melodies, atmosphere, and lyrics. It feels like pulsing surrealism and a touch of whimsy/heartbreak.
Man what a spectacular album. Genuinely amazing.
This is already my favorite video
Y'all already made one of the best pop albums ever 3 years ago u did *not* need to go this all out for the comeback but I'm so glad u did.
Idk if I'll hear another album from this year that sounds this good.
I like to think of this as a continuation since the ending of The Beginning on MW transitions perfectly into She Looked Like Me in this album
Thank god for magdalena bay this is album of the decade😭
THANK YOU ROSALIA por mostrarme esta obra maestraaaa
I totally missed buying tickets for their show in Berlin. Luckily, they changed venues so sale was reopened and I got 2. YAIY! It gon b awesomeeeeeeeeeeeeee! 🥳
After this I feel like I‘ve been reborn and baptised in the waters of Magdalena Bay
I'm easily in the double digits of listens for this album. I'm so happy they nailed it with this one.
THE ENDING OF THE BEGGINING FROM MERCURIAL WORLD ACTUALLY MERGES INTO THE BEGGINNING OF THIS ALBUM OMG
The best thing is that my life actually changed in a significant way a couple of days ago and Mag Bay is just here to provide the best soundtrack to that 🩵Love you fellow MagBaes and thank you Mom Mica and Dad Matt for existing 🙏🏻
I think this album and "Hyperdrama" by Justice are the two best albums from this year. Electronic duos for the win in 2024!!
The chokehold Image and Tunnel Vision have on me
I just received the vinyl.. beautiful! I'm glad that I have Magdalena Bay in my lifetime.
ALBUM OF THE YEAR
After about 5 or 6 listens, gotta say I really dig this. Very tight and catchy pop album with some sick disco bass lines and orchestration. image, cry for you, and the bookend 1st\final tracks are real standouts for me, but a great album as a whole overall. Thanks for making it, and making it available to listen to!
Cry for me is the song of the decade. Share a little kiss and that’s forever, think of love when you remember me…
...I'm standing right over here!!!
cry 4 me is a soundrtack for the new beetlejuice
Welp, definitely gonna have to go back through their discography now. This is fantastic
You won't be disappointed. Zero misses in their entire catalog
@@DanielFoley75 fr i think this is the ONLY band i know i could say that, which is wild
When people ask me who is your favorite artist I always say i don't really have one. Now I can wholeheartedly say it's Magdalena Bay
Heavenly, otherwordly, ethereal ahh album 😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏
This album is growing on me. Good, solid pop music.
Proper pre-Apocalypse Summer Muzik. Never forget these days, humans. Thank you so much for this incredible album!
I'M OBSESSED, MY IMAGINAL AUTUMN 🍂🌊🐬
level of the best sweet trip releases.
i heard my first magdalena bay song in h&m a few years ago... and now were here. amazing music
*THIS THE BEST RECORD OF THE 21ST CENTURY*
*IM NOT JOKING*
In rainbows better but this is so good
@@thegeckolord0352 I'd say Karuki Zamen Kuri no Hana is better but this is so good.
Magdalena Bay, you two are geniuses! Thanks for the best album of the year!!!
this album feels like a dream you would dream in the 90's
goes hard as hell
been having this on repeat for the past 3 days
Wow you really just posted the whole album on TH-cam!
It's absolutely incredible.
Album of the Year… more like album of the decade!!!
Uno de los mejores álbumes de este año,me acuerdo cuando lo escuche por primera vez y ya me gusto❤️
Literally a masterpiece. Thanks y’all.
Cry For Me is a masterpiece. here's how to do retro vibe while still being fresh and original
Cry For Me is such an ABBA inspired song, it's blowing my mind
Album of the year easily
most healing album of all time. I'm still listening to it daily a month later
i'm not listening daily anymore cause i don't wanna burn myself out of it but damn it if isn't one of the greatest masterpieces i've ever heard
I can't stop to listen this album.
I had never heard of MB before a few days ago when Spotify played a song off this album. I can't believe it just barely came out! The production is on another level.
Look up all their other stuff too. It’s all good. I found out about them from their vinyl of Mercurial World
Incredible. They just keep raising the bar with each album; Imaginal Disk may be as great as Mercurial World, if not better.
Love this new Mag Bay album to put on repeat! 😄
