4.0 out of 5 stars Great cd, May 24, 2000
This review is from: Rubbing Doesn't Help (Audio CD)
This cd have a great sound, but its different that first (Hot Boxing), the magna's had change their punkrock sound, i think the reason for change had a second producer, he is not Bob Mould, but you find many good songs: This family, I don't care, Open the door, Come on inside, Juicy fruit, Radio waves.

5.0 out of 5 stars A clever, punkish-pop band with a lot of heart., March 7, 2000
By "bred" (Indiana) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rubbing Doesn't Help (Audio CD)
The distortion of Elastica without the ridiculous sound effects. A stand out vocal performance brings to life touching, seriously written lyrics. It's a hidden treasure if I've ever heard one. Magnapop was basically cast aside by their record company to promote more popular selling artists (moslty rap, ugh). This album proves that to be an act of true fools.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT!
This is a nice CD with many fast tracks and about 3-4 slow ones. The style is a mixture of rock/thrash/punk/pop , im not sure :)
