Major Arcana is the debut full-length studio album from the indie rock group Speedy Ortiz.
Club also praised the album, writing "a markedly assured debut, one that makes Speedy Ortiz an act to watch".
[3] Consequence of Sound's Katherine Flynn called the album "strong, punchy musical concentrate".
[4] Robin Smith of PopMatters described "its angular, moody ‘90s feel conjures the image of an overgrown punk hanging around a playground at night, drinking, smoking, wasting".
[6] Pitchfork Media ranked Major Arcana #48 on its list of the top 50 albums of 2013, writing: "Speedy Ortiz strains the strangled chords and corkscrew interplay of 90s guitar heroes [...] into jaggedly axed anthem".
