    The rest of Magnetic Bodies doesn’t quite live up to its early potential, but it comes impressively close.

    While Maritime is its own entity, cuts like driving of "Light You Up" and the sanguine "Drinking Peru" retain a youthful punk energy, albeit one filtered through the prism of a decade's worth of musicianship and hard-won maturity.

    In the end, some echoes of The Promise Ring remain in Maritime’s toolkit, but as part of a musical identity that’s been evolving on its own for a dozen years, centered on a passionate and skillful songcraft.

    Magnetic Bodies/Maps of Bones falls into the same category as Maritime’s 2004 debut, Glass Floor, and their last record, Human Hearts: It’s an LP of several great songs surrounded by several just okay ones.

    Not much here is memorable, but many moments like opener "Nothing Is Forgot," stands out for their wistful evocation. [Nov-Dec 2015, p.77]

    Yet another Maritime record full of amiable, breezy numbers, every note and octave in place. The soul and panache of yore, however, are sadly MIA. [No. 125, p.59]
