Magic & Medicine

*'Magic and Medicine'* is the second album by **The Coral,**, originally released in 2003. The singles *'Don't Think You're the First'* and *'Pass It On'* earned them their first top ten single hits. Beyond the singles, every track works its own fine magic, but the spooky, chugging *'Bill McCai,'* and the atmospheric ballad *'Careless Hands,'* are particularly noteworthy. Remarkably authentic in recovering the vibes of early British rock, *'Magic and Medicine'* is a mature, solid throwback.
