    They manage to make the grandest songs imaginable seem like they were composed with only you in mind.
  2. Drowned In Sound
    80
    All that really matters for the moment is that their debut album is an unqualified success, a concise and perfectly-presented collection of first-class pop music.
  3. New Musical Express (NME)
    60
    Memphis sextet Magic Kids started out in the midst of the city's celebrated garage-punk scene, but you'd hardly know it on the basis of this airheaded and obsessively nice-ified debut album.
