This is the only Magic Numbers song (of three) played on RP that doesn't rip on this band in some way for being fat. What's up with all of the fat haters? This album is catchy and worth keeping on the playlist circuit, but nothing spectacular nor terrible.
And now I've completed the fat reference trilogy by posting this for this song. Damn it.

Boring, repetitive. Rock, it ain't! AMG claims it is Adult Alternative Pop/ Rock
Indie Rock . . . but to me it is only pop and barely good enough for that. Good pop would be Herman's Hermits. Are we boycotting melody in the Oughties?

This band sounds strikingly like The Polyphonic Spree* - but, unfortunately the Spree gets poo-pooed everytime I try to upload a song.  Wonder why that is? 
Only The Spree is LOTS better. |

Oh, I hear it now, and totally agree. From an 8 to a 6, well, a 7. I wonder what they were thinking. |

I like the sound of this, but the obtrusive "die for you's" over and over bring my rating of this song down. One of the guitar riffs is vaguely reminiscent of Neil Young's Harvest Moon. |

Nope. I agree with the comparison. More like Jonathans vs. Red Delicious. (http://www.indoindians.com/food/apple_types.htm) |

I actually quite like this. Unfortunately, the album is a bit hit and miss.
Much better is the remarkably similar sounding band named 'Aberfeldy' - I'll upload a couple of tracks to LRC if not already there.

The problem with this band is that, at least on every song of theirs I've heard, they just don't know when to stop. If their songs were a quick and refreshing two and half minutes instead of 5 or 6 minutes, I'd rate 'em a lot higher.

I thought most of the album was actually pretty good. It's hard to resist indie-pop. Though they are definitely no Stars (pun not intended).

I never bought the CD, but I can't help but like this song. I like the way the tempo changes. |

I saw them in Amsterdam in September. Good vibes live. The album is not 100% good, I agree.

This is all over the place like a shotgun blast with no choke. Too weird for me, so if it's your cup of tea, you go dawg.

This is one of those rare instances where I actually lower my rating each time I hear this. I liked if the first time I heard it and now I find it quite annoying.  |
