Customer Reviews

Back to their best5
As die hard Magnum followers it was a breath of fresh air to listen to what must be one of the best albums the band has ever produced and in our opinion
the best for a few years.

There isn't one bad track and Bob Catley's voice complements the music.

The bonus DVD is thoroughly entertaining and a great insight to the thinking behind the excellent lyrics.

This is a must for the album collection and hopefully will not be the last from this hard working and extremely talented band.

Magnificent5
I can imagine Tony Clarkin writing and completing this album in the full and firm knowledge that it was the absolute pinnacle of everything he has done, which is remarkable given the longevity of their career. It basically squeezes the best bits of every previous Magnum album and distils it into something quite magnificent. To these ears it's perfecting the basic sound of Storyteller, but with a much bigger sound (production, vocals, keyboard and vocals wise) and much stronger melodies. Its noteworthy that Catley's vocals are absolutely superb on this and I guess the overall performances are lifted by the sheer quality of the songs (I particularly like the drum patterns and sound).

My one and only slight concern is that, unlike my favourite Magnum album `The Eleventh Hour' which is both quirky and darker, this is so immediately accessible and memorable that it may suffer in my play list in the longer term - only time will tell.

DVD and CD5
I thought this was a top notch album, it compares really well to the older Magnum albums (Chase the Dragon, StoryTellers, Kingdom) and has some fantastic tracks. There are the odd weaker tracks, but overall it hangs together really well. I really liked the DVD which had a very good feelgood factor. I'd forgotten what broad Brummie accents Tony and Bob had :)

Well worth the investment and a legion better than stuff like Rock Art and Goodnight LA.
