English rock band formed in 1996 in Hoylake, Merseyside, led by James Skelly; known for blending 1960s psychedelia with indie pop and rock.

Reviews note lineup changes including the departure of guitarist Bill Ryder-Jones (2007) and later departures affecting subsequent albums; critics repeatedly reference the band's 60s-tinged psychedelia, strong debut and standout albums such as Magic & Medicine and Butterfly House.

DeBaser's reviews highlight The Coral's eclectic blend of 1960s psychedelia and indie pop across multiple albums. Early records (The Coral, Magic & Medicine) receive strong praise; some later releases are seen as less surprising but still solid. Return-to-form moments (Butterfly House, Move Through The Dawn) are noted. Lineup changes are mentioned in reviews and linked to shifts in sound.

For:Fans of 1960s-influenced indie rock and readers looking for album-by-album reviews.

 The colorful displays of the Coral have always seduced my crow's heart.

 Zero points of reference, every attempt to classify them failed, the only thing we are allowed to do is sit on that usual couch, admired, and why not, even a bit envious of so much youthful talent.

 The medicine of the Coral may not be miraculous, but it certainly represents an excellent restorative for pop music.

 In short, a mess. Actually, a beautiful mess.
