Customer Reviews

Exactly what it says on the tin - MAGNIFCENT
Having recently been introduced to Thunder and seeing them live, I am of the opinion that they are one of the best bands in the country and this album has only confirmed my views. Full of great riffs and head bopping songs, this is going to be in my car stereo for a long time to come.

The only thing I am a little disappointed with is the song Amy on the Run. I was really excited that I would have a song with my name it, they are few and far between, and although it is a great song it caused my husband to laugh out loud. Why did Amy have to be a man????? I will never live this down, having said that it is a great song and could be one of the best on the album!!

Great album guys, this has to be a must have in all rock collections!

Brill!
This album is by far the best. Seeing Thunder live just recently it just makes the cd even better to listen to.
Gods of Love and Amy's on the run are worth paying for the cd, great tracks that I'm listening to over and over again.
Buy this and you won't be cheated. Go and buy the others too.....
My fave British band for years now and worth every penny on any of their cds. (I even love Giving the game away)

They've still got it!
Thunder are a band who I've enjoyed since the beginning - I was just coming up to 14 and starting to discover rock music when the sensational Back Street Symphony was released and since then I've always had there CD's near the top of the pile.

The 3 albums that followed Back Street Symphony were good - not quite on a par with it, but every album had at least a couple of tracks or more that were instant classics and you'd pay your money for alone.

Then came 'giving the game away', which for me was a terrible album - too many sickly ballads, and not enough rawk! At that point I thought they'd had their day and sure enough a year or so later they went their seperate ways.

When they got back together I was immensely sceptical, mainly for the reasons given above that I thought they'd probably had their day. Out came the new album, which I bought, and it has to be said there are a few crackers on it, but for the most part I thought it was fairly mediocre, and didn't change my opinion that maybe we'd seen the best of them.

So I approached the 'Magnificent Seventh' with general cynicism and not expecting too much, but having had it on the stereo since I bought it a few weeks ago I take back everything I've said about them being over the hill - it is an absolutely fantastic album and the best I've bought for some time.

The opening song is good, but most 1st songs on Thunder albums are good, but then they get better - the second track 'Gods of War' is one of the finest Thunder tracks ever, and the good songs keep on coming - 'Monkey see, Monkey Do', 'Amy's on the run', 'You Can't keep a good man down' - I could almost be sitting in my school uniform at home all those years ago, the hairs on the back of my neck raised as I listened to Back Street Symphony for the first time.

Everything about this album says special, in a way only Thunder know - Luke Morley's music and lyrics are as strong as they've ever been, and Danny's voice just seems to get better with time - this is not an album that says 'band who use to be good trying to eak the last few drips out of their talent' it says 'band who use to be good - starting to look great'.

They will probably never succede commercially as well as they did in the early days, but I truly believe that with the back catalogue of top notch songs Thunder have built up, and the fact that 6 albums later they're still producing songs of the same quality, they have to be considered one of the greatest and most consistent bands this country has ever produced.
