Magic
The 13-track Magic, whose producers include John Fields (Goo Goo Dolls, All Time Low) and Tony Hoffer (Beck, Air, M83), continues Rector's positive vibes for which he's become known, this time with a hint of reminiscence. Across the album Rector will simultaneously reflect on his past and hopefully look to the future, a sentiment inspired by his daughter Jane, who was born last July.
Critic Reviews
Show All-
The New Fury
Is it solid by today’s musical standards, as well as the standards they set for themselves in the past? Is it good? The answer to all of these questions is a resounding yes.
-
Hollywood Soap Box
The quintessential party band has returned to its roots, and the result is a fun, if not terribly courageous, album of 11 songs.
-
The Quinnipiac Chronicle
Smash Mouth always knows how to keep the party going, even over half a decade later. This new release will please the die-hard fans and new listeners.
-
Alternative Addiction
Unlike many albums released by bands after long hiatuses ‘Magic’ is actually a well worthwhile project. Produced by Mike Krompass who also handles Nelly Furtado, ‘Magic’ will doubtless attract new admirers as well as pleasing established fans.
-
The Ithican
For listeners who are already fans of Smash Mouth, “Magic” will certainly delight. With few misses and enough exemplary tracks to be an overall success, Smash Mouth’s latest album certainly can compete with their older albums.
-
Seattle PI
Over all, though, Magic is an enjoyable recording that should see Smash Mouth entertaining new listeners and pleasing fans as well. Give it a listen. It's likely to make you smile.
-
Louder Sound
Sadly, the sun’s come up on that whole scene and songs like the jingling Perfect Planet and the risible Justin Bieber now sound misplaced and horribly out of step. Come in, Smash Mouth, your 15 minutes really are up.

Everything about Magic, is — well — magic.
