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!

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.

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

[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.

arsosAug 29, 2005tocan bien chiditoy estoy de acuerdo con lo que dice Jason, y como bien lo señala sus influencias de la decada de los seseta para mi son muy buenas

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.

RicNJun 18, 2005Perfect summer music. Surprised that they have made the best track (Hymn To Her) a secret track at the end...

mattaOct 27, 2005Very pretty, inoffensive album. Doens't take alot of risks, but like other artists in this same vein like Ron Sexsmith, being innovative and eclectic really isn't the point. Stong debut.

AliCJul 11, 2005An almost perfect record, let down only by a couple of suboptimal drones (The Mule and Which Way to Happy), and that deeply irritating habit of hiding the best track at the end (cf Snow Patrol Final Straw). Forever Lost and Love Me Lke You are the best pop songs since erm... ABBA ahem.

RodrigoVJul 13, 2005I've considered this album, since now, one of the best of the year. I`m happy that we still have bands like this.

davidAug 18, 2005A really good pop-rock album. I really love the song 'I see you, you see me'. I would bother for sure.

EmmanuelRAug 21, 2005Amazing album... Almost every song makes you want to immediately play it again

SimonGMay 29, 2006Blows me away every time. I was sucked in by the Forever Lost single; was not disappointed by the album. Listen to it everyday. Love's a Game is the best one.

AngelloCApr 16, 2007showing us that music styles never expire, maybe it sounds like 60's but its perfect to take us away, specially today, when everybody with stress need it

JonnoRNov 28, 2005I like this band, they remind me of Broken Social Scene, and some Neil Young, as well as an assortment of other bands.

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.
