Description:
The Magic Numbers don`t particularly sound like the Replacements, but they play from a similar deck. . . There are handclaps, ba-ba-bas, tremendous hooks, and interlaced male-female harmonies without any of the tongue-in-cheek distance or goofy eccentricity holding back the bulk of today`s other promising pop bands. . . What sets the Magic Numbers apart from all their young, British peers (the immaculate hooks aside) is the willingness or ability to update great sounds of the past by not just parroting them. -- Zach Bloom, Harp (Capitol)
