My favorite record of theirs, Last day of magic is my fave song

[@Rodoadrenalina]

Midnight Boom is my favorite, and it's so well done, no song is below any other.

Such a solid album!

my favourite kills record

[@fotoautomatmusic]

They've never released a bad album. Some I prefer to others but all of them ill come to at some point for different songs, thats a sign of consistency and greatness. In their core elements they're all similar, some changes of course but never straying too far from what makes their sounds theirs. Such a great band.

Midnight Boom and Keep on Your Mean Side, my favorite kills albums.. So fucking sad I haven't seen them live yet. One of my favorite bands since I was a kid. Really hope I get to see them sometime soon

[@Madmatt18]

Last day of magic and goodnight bad morning.

Far and away my favorite album of theirs..... I LOVED the first record...but found No Wow to be kinda dull. So when Midnight Boom came out, it totally took me by surprise and cemented my love of this band. MB doesn't have a single dull moment from beginning to end. The first 2 tracks are short and sweet, punchy and catchy....Last Day of Magic & Black Balloon are heartbreaking....What NY Used to Be is achingly cool....and Good Night Bad Morning is such an intimate way to close things out. They were at the top of their game on this one.

Still doesn't explain why they haven't played Last Day of Magic in a long time.

They played it on their recent tour. Was lucky to hear it live at their nyc show last year

[@Warflak]

They did midnight boom in full in Cali a few weeks ago. Drove out for that, was totally worth it!

MPC is life.
