Hopesfall magnetic north 2007 full album
Magnetic North is the fourth and final full-length album released by the hardcore band Hopesfall. Josh Brigham, one of the guitarists and the only founding member remaining during the recording of the album, has said: "Our music has always been spacey and heavy, and we use those roots, combined with our love of grunge-era Smashing Pumpkins, Dinosaur Jr., HUM, and Pixies, we add some bigger, heavier riffs.

Unreleased tracks
The track "Saskatchewan" was originally intended for inclusion on Magnetic North, following the album's title track, but was cut from all releases without the band consenting. When the band found out the CDs and artwork had already been manufactured. Other bonus tracks may have been planned but were not included.
"We're working on some interesting things still, with bonus tracks and such for the releases in Europe and Japan. We're talking about some re-mixes too. We scrapped a couple of songs on the record, so maybe we'll work on those, too. Be on the lookout."
