[tps_title]2. The Magic Numbers – “Alias”[/tps_title]
The Magic Numbers have always had a mixed style between trying to be mature pop and something a bit more rocking. Thankfully, that dichotomy is graceful in their senior (fourth) album. They sound more established and secure of their own style, with soft notes accompanied by emotional, sometimes slightly whiny (but never tiring), lyrics. The album is never a snore-fest, however – it’s mellow but keeps you awake with its variety of instrumental compositions and occasional louder snippets within a song here and there. The record is not very surprising, but it’s totally pleasing as an enjoyable background distraction with lyrics that could pull you into personal memories and head-nodding beats. All-in-all, a solid album from start to finish.
