Description

Three singles were released to promote the album, "Lonely Night", "Midnight (You Won't Be Sleeping)" and "When the World Comes Down". Please consider supporting us by giving monthly PayPal donations and help keep PA fast-loading and ad-free forever. This is a very good Magnum album - I don't like it as much as "Kingdom of Madness", "On a Storyteller's Night", "Wings of Heaven" or "Princess Alice and the Broken Arrow", but it is up there close to their best. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

Only nine tracks but very much quality rather than quantity I found this album utterly absorbing from start to finish. The gloss serves to the band's advantage too, in that it reins in the beardy, prog-rock tendencies of some of their earlier work and draws attention to the concentrated quality in the songwriting, and especially to Bob Catley's superbly paced singing. Produced by David Richards and Queen drummer Roger Taylor, the band's sound stepped towards that of 1980s Queen, with keyboards much higher in the mix than guitar.The weakest tracks are the first three and the last, but the ones in the middle are all good ones; Midnight (You Won't Be Sleeping), Red On The Highway, Holy Rider, and When The World Comes Down are actually not bad at all! Gracenote bizarrely categorizes this as 'Metal' (whereas even AC/DC and Led Zeppelin are tagged 'Rock') but who cares? While I have always liked the title track, I initially dismissed the rest of the album as too poppy and simplistic.

Condition - This item is in Excellent condition or better (unless it says otherwise in the above description).It has been one of my favourite Magnum albums since it was released and shows them at their brilliant best. I initially gave only one star to this album, but I have now upgraded my rating to a more fair two stars.
