Glory!!!🤗
Diggy liking Mk.gee has made me forgive you for all the atrocities you've committed
the bat!!
Graydon looks like zach hill of death grips with no hair
Saw someone describe mk gee as what people in the 80s thought 2024 music would sound like and its spot on
I'm obsessed with this album. The songs are like formless puffs of smoke - when you try to grab hold of something it disappears.
Steeped in nostalgia of a youth lost and almost forgotten. This album will be remembered as the singularity of his career.
So familiar but not. It’s hauntingly beautiful.
Mk.Gee fans have the best metaphors and analogies. Yall feel music so deeply, you're so intuitive with it.
This album really is great, I gotta get into more of his stuff. Love all his work with Dijon
@@_WeDontKnow_ Turning the tables have just uploaded their reaction to it.

Can already see Troy crying to Rodeo Clown
it’s one thing about the album, but hearing it LIVE… completely different experience. went to both his shows over the weekend I literally turned around and people were crying, not many artists can create that live experience. it was beautiful🥂
i was one of the mfs crying , best concert ever
Seeing him in December, never been this excited for a concert
put this album on in the car and my sister said it sounds like listening to music from outside a party at night which is so real . love this album bad
Never thought these lines would cross :,) A dream come true. Troy you experiencing this masterpiece for the first time gave me so much joy! Always gets me so hyped when you appreciate the good stuff :)))

Thanks dude ❤
If you think listening to Mk.gee is good you must, must see him in person. Probably one of the best concerts I've seen. BTW, I'm 68 so I've been blessed to see many, many great concerts. The vibe is unbelievable. We've seen him twice and can't wait to see him again. His team is also incredible.
@@barbaracress2087 Geez! Barbara ! I'd love to join you !!! 66.5 yrs old RN and still rocking!!! I love Mk.gee also...
@HTHAZE he played guitar for Dijon's album "Absolutely" and it was such a great and rich project. there's a video of the whole live making of it in a room and it's super intimate. i'm going to see him October 5th in Minneapolis i'm so hyped
Gonna be at that show too! So amped
I’m seeing mk.gee in concert this month!! This was such a surprise!! You should get tickets!!
omg i’m going to see him live too ! i can’t wait
he was so good live
Same! Gonna see him on the 24th im so excited!
@@tysim1059Ayy I was at this show too lmao. Absolutely incredible night
@@Snoopd It was so sick! Coolest concert I've ever been to. We got the first listen of Rockman too 🔥
Live, laugh, love, Mk.gee
I love how far the dignan rabbit hole has gone. I remember watching the video where Dignan was born. Highlight of this century
you gotta watch mk.gee's live sessions for these songs.
also listen to absolutely by dijon and watch the absolutely film. it is literal perfection.
Now you have to do 'Absolutely' by Dijon AND the Live album on RUclips, Mk.gee plays through the whole thing
TROY I CANT WAIT ANY LONGER DROP THE SABRINA REACTION 🙏
FOR REAL
I’ve literally been checking the channel every day since it was released 😭
i clicked on this vid to see if people were still asking for it 😭
@@cameronlikesbugsi know me too 😂
RIGHT WHERE IS IT
My guy just dropped AOTY like that casually. Honestly after months of listen it's just better and better. A 10 in my book that's fo sure
This one’s for the musicians 😭 been waiting for this
Mk.gee is who jacob collier wants to be.
@@mocapcow2933 I honestly enjoy Collier, but yeah this is absolutely true
Such a special project truly boundless
love how you dissect/analyze each track a little
you’re the biggest platform to react to this masterpiece, which means we can’t gatekeep Mike anymore🥲
Posted this album to my Insta story yesterday, then I’m hit with this reaction today - love when mine and Troy’s cycles are synced
DIGNAN MENTION!!!! RAAAAAAHHHHH!!! DIGRIDERS RISE UP!!!!!! also this album is so fucking good hell yeah brother 💥🦅‼how many miles is my most streamed song of the year so far - so unbelievably good
Absolutely by dijon soon perhaps!?
Pleaseeeeee
came down to the comments to say the same thing!!
This for sure!
You got it is my favorite track on the album 🔥 happy to see mk.gee get his shine
@@slimcharles1016 i didnt expect to cry when he played it in LA 😭😭 it was legit one of the most beautiful concerts ive ever been to
I was literally just at his Hollywood show like a few days ago!! Didn't really know much about him, i just went with some friends cause theyre big fans. The guy is an insane musician, i was low key mesmerized.
BRO. Love your reaction to the best album of 2024! Watching you listen close and catch all those juicy deets on this one... this was me at the top of the year when this album dropped. Been obsessed with this album all year.
Been waiting for this one. Thought the nerd in you would like to know that mk.gee wrote 'White Teeth' with Ryan Beatty!
Did not know this! My most replayed song off Ryans album!
No fuckin wayyyy🤯 my fav song on that album!
Really appreciate your ear and description for music. Your great man and so is this suggestion 🙂↕️
i’ve waited so long. and the day is finally here😭😭😭
Flying to Austin to see Mk.gee this weekend. Couldn't be more excited he's such an incredible artist
edit: best concert i've ever seen
hope you enjoy austin this weekend!! are you seeing him at the moody center?
@@elliottsalibi Preciate it. its at Emo's Austin
@@simply2341 oh fun!! i’ve been there before it’s a really cool venue.
My favorite album this year. Was such a breathe if fresh air. I’m so sad I didn’t get to go to his tour
finallly been waiting for thisss!!!!!
HTHAZE x HIVEMIND is a need
hivemind super fans already know they have 2 videos on the way 😉
For months 8 months, I have listened to this album nonstop, can't stop, won't stop. I listen in the album order, every time, and each time, they bang, over and over again.
same. glad i’m not alone
his atlanta show is on the 18th!!! you NEED to go if there’s still tickets 🤞🏼 such an incredible experience hearing this album live, i hope you can go!!
I'm going to that one! This'll be my second Mk.gee show. First time was in may. Mike is unreal
@@corbanrdl ahhh have so much fun!! mike is the goat
I tried to get tickets for London all bloody summer but failed. I was so sad because he was literally performing in my neighbourhood, but I met him after work on my way home and he put me on the guest list for the show the next day😭 This week has been incredible because of him, and I found out we have the same bday! Big Mike is definitely the goat!!!👏🏿🦅♎️🤍
@ omg that’s amazing!!! so happy for you. mike is the goat
IM SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU REACT TO HIM!!!! I see him live next week so this is perfect 😌
you were spot on when you mentioned sly and the family stone btw, mk.gee said in a livestream that he loves sly :)
I’m obsessed with mk.gee. This album is refreshing, mysterious and familiar. I heard and interview with him and he mentioned wanting it to sound “liminal” and I think he perfectly encapsulates it with this masterpiece
Alesis is probably one of my favorite songs ever - so addicting to listen to
duuuuuude you have to checkout the live versions
wow im so excited im so excited i just clicked on this and i love this album and i love you and my worlds are colliding
Mkgee is so good. I had a sore neck for a week after his concert the stank face head nod was the whole time
Literally signed up for your Patreon when I saw you had already live-streamed your first listen to this literal masterpiece.
What i would do for a follow up reaction vid to all of his live versions he has uploaded along with Lonely Fight and Rockman too
I’ve never seen your videos before but I’m a huge mk.gee fan so this video popped up as recommended. It was enjoyable watching you become a mk.gee stan right before our eyes. I’ll be seeing him live in less than 2 weeks and honestly if you love the album dive into some of his live performance. A real musicians musicians
I LUV YOUR REACTIONS TO THIS!!!!! NOBODY UNDERSTANDS HOW I FEEL ABOUT MK.GEE!!!!!!! HE'S AN ALIENNNNN
fun fact: DNM stands for dijon n mkgee
is this real?
@@lordquasvinyl yes, apparently its true. the song is co-produced by dijon :)
mkgee is one of my fave artists of all time hes so amazing im glad hes starting to get the recognition he deserves.
You should listen to ‚Lonely Flight‘ and ‚Rockman‘ too.. released them after the album.. ‚cz‘ from ‚A Museum of Contradiction‘ is great too!
I literally can’t get enough. Just saw him life on Monday in Berlin and it was Heaven.. didn’t have a ticket at first but got one last minute of Instagram… can’t stress enough how happy I was about that haha
Love your excitement as well, this is the kind of energy I want my friends to have when I show them music haha (Spoiler alert: they never have.. BOO!)
First time I heard “Are You Looking Up” i thought they messed it up and forgot to credit dijon. Sounds soooo similar to some dijon tracks soooooo check him out if ya like this!
This is easily one of my favorite albums of the year, such an easygoing vibe!
Love the video! I went to see him live recently and it was a great show. He played the entire album and it was even better in person. Also I love the casual unintentional Smurf cosplay in this video.
This album makes me feel like I’m hanging out with my friends while they jam out at our buddies house
18:28 - 3 months later, but the answer to this is Ableton
This is the best reaction to any music I’ve ever seen. Enjoyed that very much! 😂👌🏼
i love that mk.gee is blowing up but at the same time, i want to be selfish and keep him gatekept lmao
I saw him in concert, and it was such a cool different concert! Literally he was off the to side of the stage just jamming. No performance, just musicianship, speakers cranked all the way up.
ur literally me everytime i listen to this genius
I definitely think that he writes lyrics secondary to the melody, pace and syncopation. It’s an auditory buffet even at the expense of deeper writing.
Dijon should be ABSOLUTELY next!!
just heard this album for the first time a week ago and I haven't stopped listening. it's so amazing. I am now a mk.gee fan.
his sound is so unique I couldn't even put a genre to it
just saw mk.gee in Seattle a few nights ago and it was seriously the best concerts I’ve seen in my life. go if you have the opportunity
His rig is one of the weirdest I've seen, the order of the effects is unusual and it all goes into a... tascam??? That and the gate in the chain gives him a really dynamic and unique tone too. Looking at it you would think it was put together by either a noob who has no idea what he's doing or a guy who has spent endless hours tinkering around with sounds. I know it's the latter with Mk.Gee hahaha
matty healy was actually at one of his recent shows in LA! he also posted the yt live version of “are you looking up” on his story months ago :)
I can also HIGHLY recommend listening to some of his live stuff his guitar sounds are SO crazy good and its so uniquely different from the album versions!
Troy you dont know how much this means to me THANK YOU
"This is music for guitarist" I'm biased but that's what got me hooked off the fucking rip. Dude is so talented
listen to absolutely by dijon next!!! mk.gee was his main collaborator
25:38 I Want sounds straight like a song from Police. The whole album is heavily influenced by them i guess. Even the Titel of the album gives it away :))
Btw i love your energy here man!
Every breath you take
As someone who hasnt seen you're vids in a while, I am digging the hair
i think that he uses an old 80s 4 track cassette recorder for the guitar textures and stuff . so far one of my fav albums of the year
I’m only one person, but I also get to teach Orchestra to 250 students each day. Troy, you have completely changed the way I bring enthusiasm to nerdy music theory shit to the classroom. Thanks for changing the way I listen to music, and affecting way more people than you’ll ever meet ❤
I had the exact same reaction when I heard you got it. Like who just casually creates a song that amazing ????
Patiently waiting for short n sweet review omfg any day now right
well this is a pleasant surprise!! the concert was sick he's so good live!!
Wow dude! Love this video. Perfect amount of playing the tune and reacting. The editing and commentary were hilarious (the part about being stuck in a compressor lol). I’m seeing him on the 23rd and this got me stoked!
WHEN ARE WE GETTING THE SHORT N SWEET REACTION TROY I CAN'T WAITTT
Never thought this would ever happen!! Troy!!! I’ll never forget when I first listened to mkgee in my bedroom at 1am and I felt like every song moved me to a beautiful place all within the world of mkgee. Buying tickets to his December show now ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
ryan beatty and dijon and dominic fike are some of my favorite artists… i’d heard of mk gee but never got into him but i have a feeling he is going to be on repeat after hearing this
Fantano did have issue with the lyrical abstractions but buddy….i do not care 😂 like you said - you can’t even be mad - it’s all about how this album makes me feel!! It’s those melodies getting stuck in my head - the lyrics are the friends we made along the way
I was waiting for this one❤ love mk.gee sm
Omggg I love his song Alesis🥹 big moment for me
Bro I been listening to this album for a while. Had to see reactions to see if anyone ANYONE reacted the same way. You are amazing my brother
BEEN PRAYYYING for this one, I just saw him live. can die happy now.
mk.gee LETS GOOOOOO!!!!
I went to a mk.gee concert a few days ago 😮 this is peak rn !!!!!
woah i didn’t expect this, mkgee is incredible bro
Saw him twice this year (once in April in SD and just last week in LA). Can confirm his live shows are so amazing-the music literally takes on a life of its own. Such an amazing listening experience :,))
Yesss luv your reaction. Just heard him yesterday for the 1st time. And I’m hooked! Can’t move on😩😆❤️ yes heavy on the prince ❤️🗣️☺️
Best album I’ve heard in a long time. Cant stop listening to it.
i never thought i'd see the day, ive been wanting this for AGESSS. You've gotta do Dijon next
YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!
Been waiting on this one maaaaaaaaan favorite album of the last 10 years
Listening and enjoying each song breakdown and reaction, while also anticipating the reaction to dream police. I hope you share and react to the live stuff!!!
I’ve been listening to mk.gee since 2018 and as someone who loves you as well Troy, this makes me soooooooo happy 😇
I know you know ya gotta do “Imaginal Disk” by Magdalena Bay next!
He reacted to it on Patreon already!! It’ll just be a bit before it’s on yt bc editing and time and stuff :)
@@dippitydip4559 oh sick, thanks man!
