HannahNov 10, 2005This is an album that comes from a talented group of people. Those who boo it have obviously no idea where real talent comes from, infact i dare to whether they have ever listened to a single note of talent? this is a great cd from a great band!

RTFireflyOct 4, 2005A bit disapponting. Expected so much more. Even gets boring after a few listens.

WillOct 28, 2005Boring, boring, boring. Just the kind of thing I'd expect Mojo and Q to praise highly.

RolOct 9, 2005Excellent, well-written, well-sung, unpretentious( and maybe this is why people are having a go at it) collection of songs most people will enjoy. Close analysis of music is pointless it either moves you or not, and I'm confident it will move more people than it will turn off.

TomDJul 20, 2005Pretty arrangements and quite nice harmonies don't immediately equate to songs that have any depth. I doubt this album will last longer than the summer it has been 'designed' for.

MattJSep 1, 2005This is a great record, "ahh this song reminds me of the summer of 2005" is what we will all be saying for years to come, a true summer pop classic, to be enjoyed because its enjoyable!, the reason it isnt a 10, is because im afraid its getting overplayed and is possibly going to be a great album ruined yet again

CaptainFishySep 5, 2005Gotta say......after catching this band during the 2005 summer festival season.......I aquired the album.....and it is quite simply a masterpiece for its time.

BrettNJul 14, 2006Easy to listen to but is that something to get so excited about some nice songs just not enough of them. Mornings Eleven, Forever Lost, This Love, Love's A Game

HarryHJun 19, 2005Although this record contains a handful of decent songs, it is so inoffensively pleasant that is leaves precious little impact, even after repeated listens.

CJJul 21, 2005Simply beautiful! An album that you find beautifuller each time that you listen it again and again...

tomtJul 6, 2005Beautiful summer record, filled with some moving vocal harmonies, some great hooks and a chilled west-coast appeal.

[Anonymous]Aug 2, 2005An absolutely sublime sounding debut album. A trully mature first offering from a group I expect to hear more from in the future.

robhAug 28, 2005A fantastic sounding band with tonnes of talent. The harmonies work perfect together to give an uplifting experience!!!

TomPAug 4, 2005Dreadfully dreadfully dreadfully dull, lifeless, bland and standard.

jasoneAug 5, 2005This is some of the best music I've probably ever heard. Complex songs that sound really simple and beautiful, and although they obviously draw influences from sixties music they sound unlike anyone else I've ever heard.

TobyKeithOct 26, 2005My hairy pigs I keep in the barn out back could write better music that these talentless fatties. Pick up a copy of my 'Honkytonk University' LP instead -TK

A record that will endure beyond this year, this decade and the rest.

Nothing quite prepares you for the sheer beauty of The Magic Numbers' music.
-
The songwriting falls a couple of times too many into timid generalities about love and loss; the melodies, though lovely, are sometimes interchangeable.
