"Just when I thought Magnapop was dead they start playing a show here and there. And then they announce a new album. Mouthfeel is a really great album, everyone should have it along side their copy of Rubbing Doesn't Help and Hot Boxing. With alot of the crap music thats coming out today, this album has been really refreshing. The songs are good, but some of the vocals are a little to low. But this isn't a problem after listening to the album more than once. By the way, the band is getting ready to go on tour next month so go see them if you can.

A Long Awaited Return

"Magnapop's fourth album comes a full nine years after their last, 1996's patchy and overly produced Rubbing Doesn't Help. Thankfully there are no such problems here, in fact this might just be their finest yet. While there may not have been any great overhaul in the bands' formula they have honed their sound into pure pop perfection. The Husker Du-esque guitars are as tight as ever, Linda Hoppers sings with effortless charm undercut by Ruthie Morriss' girlband harmonies. A record for those summer evenings spent drinking with friends"

"Pop" this one into your player!

"Holy Cow! I can't believe there has not been more fanfare for this release. Nine years between albums is way too long. This is the music you have been wanting to hear, playful, yet still having that hard, alternative edge to it. It's a shame that alternative music has gone the way of either demonic screaming or ignorant rapping, while groups like Magnapop suffer in ignonimy.

This album does suffer from a poor mix job, which is a shame, because this group certainly deserves much better. Support this group, buy the album, and maybe next time we will hear them in a format in which they are much more deserving."
