Rating: 6.5 manly feats out of 10
I've always thought of MOTO as the garage pop version of Guided by Voices - they're led by one man, Paul Caporino, and an army of additional bandmates that have come and gone over the years. They've released a ton of music over the decades, though MOTO have definitely not hit GBV's numbers. And more than anything, both groups specialize in quick, simple pop songs that get stuck in your head. That said, both songs on this single, "Magic Words" and "Ghosts" are not the band's best work. Decent tracks sure, but not on the level of classics like "I Hate My Fucking Job" or "Dance Dance Dance Dance Dance To the Radio." Still worth a listen though, maybe just not as a starting point for the long-lived group.
