= Martin Atkins = Martin Atkins had said in his review of

Rating 131 Stars out of 140 = Alex Henderson =
"Various musicians have made recordings while suffering major illnesses, quite
often having a wistful, introspective quality. But My Magic Last Days is a
very noisy, in-your-face cd, rocking angrily and aggressively, recalling the
primal rawness of early American and British punk. Lieberman additionally
gets a lot of inspirationfrom thrash metal, hard rock and industrial rock, he
occasionally employs a Euro-disco/Euro-Dance beat, but without
sacrificing his punk and metal appeal....My Magic Last Days does not
pretend to be mainstream in any way. The cd is defiantly uncommercial as it is
eccentric--a snarling sensory assault!" Rating: 3.0 Stars out of 5
= James McQuiston = "Blending the gritty sound of
late-eighties industrial with hints of psychedelic and new-wave...having a
bouncy feel, allowing Lieberman's pointed commentary and flutes to shine.
Lieberman's desire to keep things fresh needs to be lauded.My Magic Last Days is
one of the best of Lieberman's titles we've reviewed. A really great album
could follow. Rating: 6.8 Stars out of 10
