The Apples in Stereo-New Magnetic Wonder

The five year hiatus between Velocity of Sound and New Magnetic Wonder left a lot of Apples in Stereo fans wondering what the new record would sound like. Velocity of Sound was a radical departure from the standard Apples sound. New Magnetic Wonder is not a full return to the lo fi sound of the first four Apples records, but it's closer to that sound than Velocity of Sound was. New Magnetic Wonder is chocked full of gorgeous pop ditties. There are 24 songs on the disc and another 5 on the bonus disc that came with my copy of the album. Nearly every song is a gem. Some of them are very short, but the album is great from top to bottom. I am officially running out of nice things to say about The Apples in Stereo. It's a good thing I only have two more of their records to discuss.
