Customer Reviews
All encompassing UK music fan - Listz to Leppard
I have to say that I'm terribly biased towards Magnum and I make no apology for that but this is surely one of the truly great albums and must rank alongside Bryan Adams' Reckless, Mac's Rumours and the like.
From the haunting 'Need a Lotta Love' to the powerful title track and the sublime 'Midnight', this album has the lot. If ever a track was a 'headphones on, volume up and wallow', Midnight is it.
'Midnight' is remixed on Chapter & Verse but was produced by Roger Taylor ( Queen ) and you can tell - the drumming's up and kills the sax.
Forget the 'best of' compilation albums - if you're going to get just one Magnum album, get this. I bought this in '86 and even today, it still has pride of place in a CD collection of over 900.
Get this and you can keep your lottery ticket in it - you'll always know where it is
ARENA ROCK AT ITS BEST
THIS ALBUM SAW MAGNUM POISED TO TAKE ON THE ARENAS OF THE UK.THE BEST MOMENTS HAVE TO BE LONELY NIGHT AND MIDNIGHT.BIG SOUND AND BIG HAIR MUSIC TO BLOW AWAY THE GRUNGE BANDS THAT FOLLOWED.SADLY IT WAS ALSO MAGNUMS FINEST MOMENT AS IT WASNT TOO LONG AFTER THEY WERE ONCE AGAIN REDUCED TO THE SMALLER VENUES..BUY IT AND ENJOY THEIR 80S GLORY
The Magnum Opus, maybe?
Although Storyteller is considered a fond favourite by many Magnum fans, I tend to choose this, their following record, as my favourite Magnum album as it is well constructed and well produced. Every song, in its way, flows nicely from the hit single sound of Lonely Night, world issues in Need a lot of Love, the excitement of Sometime Love which then mellows down with Midnight (You Won't be Sleeping) but maintains the balance, right through to the final, but possibly the weakest song at the end of the album, is well worth listening to many a time. Despite the poorer track, I still give it the full 5 stars.
