Album Notes & Community Reviews

Magazine's final studio album from their original run was recorded after John McGeoch's departure, giving the band a different guitar texture and a more uneven late-period identity. 'Magic, Murder and the Weather' retains Howard Devoto's literate unease while moving through more polished new wave arrangements.
