"i remember hearing about magna fi about being on this years ozzfest, and it surprised me, as they were the only straight forward rock band amidst harcore bands like lamb of god, unearth, and the like.i saw them open for sevendust a few days ago with low expectations, especially from what i had heard about people going to see them on ozzfest.man they were wrong-magna fi tore it up!the first song had like a 3 minute jam at the end and the lead singer mike just tore it up.their whole set (although just 6 songs and seeing mike lose a tooth after tripping over wires) was amazing and i had to grab the cd."where did we go wrong"-man.that song is an amazing jam-i can rock out to that song anyday."down in it" is the single and it should get the band recognized-very catchy and fun."beautiful" has sort of a techno feel to it with some effects and "tv killed me" goes back to the "where did we go wrong" style of grooving guitars and drums.these guys are a fun, less edgy version of shinedown.they remind me alot of doubledrive and socialburn but they arent a christian band (if that matters to anyone).great fun cd and a great jam out album.good job guys.definitely pick this one up."

"This album rocks! These guys rock! Their live show rocks!
I first heard Magna-Fi's music 6 months ago when they opened for Fuel. I was totally blown away by their sound and their onstage energy. It was obvious to all of us in the audience that these guys love what they're doing. I bought the cd as soon as it became available. It is always playing in my car and I also have it loaded on my computer at work to listen to during the day. And I've seen the guys 4 more times live. This album is a must have!!"
