RodrigoMJul 3, 2005Songs: Ohia's better produced album is a real masterpiece. An introspective country-folk rock album in the line of Neil Young's influences that could be considered as one of the best albums of the first halkf of the decade. It has it all: variety, cohesion, great instrumentations, powerfull vocals mixed with polished arrangements, but still with a raw rock sound. A unique album.

davidbApr 15, 2003Gran giro musical de Jason Molina y su banda. Disco enorme, como casi todos sus anteriores. Scout Niblett está increible.

RossHFeb 15, 2004Absolutely fascinating. riveting and deeply affecting. This CD put me off for the first two playings, then I became completely addicted. The depth, complexity, clarity of feeling and sheer oddness of this vision make Magnolia Electric Company a singular achievement.

DavidNJan 26, 2005This was the album I was waiting for since the earliest Songs: Ohia EP's - it makes good on all of those acoustic songs that we full of unreleased power. Here it is; powerful surging music to match the astonishing vocal and lyrical feats of Molina. And Niblett is a genius addition... the best work of her career is Peoria Lunch Box Blues.

It takes a colossal effort to back Molina's candor, and given what a departure this record is for the band, it's not surprising that some of the songs get bogged down here and there. It's also not much of a problem.
-
The Magnolia Electric Co. succeeds where other albums of a similar nature fail because it has the courage to point towards what is wrong with itself and the medium through which it is presented.
