Welcome back to Magic Power!
On this episode, we are going to be trying out a new episode style where we have a listener/friend of the show give us our two albums to review! This time around, Chad's friend, Scott, will be giving us some music to listen to. Mer De Noms was geared towards Dennis, as he is a new fan of Maynard. The Great Cold Distance was geared towards Chad, because they are lesser known and have a style that Chad just may really enjoy.

Send us a text
Welcome back to Magic Power!

On this episode, Chad and Dennis once again explore and discuss 2 albums that mean something very special to them. As per usual, the albums are polar opposites in terms of sound, but the one thing that they have in common is that the music within them has that special Magic Power that is so important to us. Long Lost has a sort of western feel to it, while bringing this cinematic sort of feel to the way it sounds. The Downward Spiral is full of some of the most unique and catchy music that you can come across, and it is paired with strong emotions within it's writing and vocals. Check it out!
