Magstatic
- Country vs. City

MAGSTATIC
are one of my favorite bands and it takes me months to
get around to reviewing their new CD* gotta plead
insanity on this one. Regardless of my idiocy, "Country
and City" is a proud moment in the MAGSTATIC opus. In
many ways it is a benchmark of their work to this point.
Somehow that seems appropriate on an album that sees a
complete re-tooling of the line-up* "Country and City"
combines the hook-rich pop of the "Kung-Fu" ep, the
intelligent emo of the "Cruiseliner" album, and the
revved up punk of the "Wrist Rockets and Roller
Coasters" disc. The seamless merger of all those
elements, plus the seemingly never ending talent
escalation displayed by frontman Terrence D.H., makes
this the most complete effort yet from MAGSTATIC. I
would say "definitive work" except that I've learned
(from almost two decades of rabid fandom) that the best
D.H. album is always the next one. How he continues to
top himself year after year is a mystery for the ages.
Seriously* This isn't hype. This is rock n' damn roll.

From: the-underground.be
Magstatic already has a long
history. A few years ago (1999), after two albums
and scattered EPs and compilations, Terrance D.H.
was without a band. But after a reformation the band
Magstatic is back at full force. With this release
the band made some nice piece of rock. With the
great voice of Terrance D.H., also songwriter, and
some nice melodic tunes ... this album provides you
with crunchy & buzzing rock.
So ... ready to rock ? Rating >> 5 /5
