5 stars Magic Indeed
This disc is nearly perfect. Great songwriting, indelible hooks, awesome vocal arrangements, and just enough je ne sais quoi to keep things from getting too sweet. There are a number of new bands that are wearing their SoCal pop influences on their sleeves, but this is the one you want. Hal, The Thrills, and especially dios (malos) come close, but these guys understand the difference between being influenced by a particular style and mimicry. I listen to this more than any disc released this yea…

3 stars Fun and pleasant, but not groundbreaking
I first heard the Magic Numbers on the Help: A Day In The Life CD. I really love the track "Gone are the Days". Unfortunately this CD is not quite up to the quality of that song. It's good, fun music. But it just doesn't quite sizzle enough for me to recommend it to all of my friends. This is the sort of CD that adds a bit of depth to a playlist on an mp3 player, but not one where I picture myself putting in the CD time after time to listen to on its own.
