Vigilante

Product Information

While the band had wanted Rodney Matthews to paint the artwork, the record company chose a different cover against the band's wishes. peut-être un peu trop hard fm, mais néanmoins des titres comme Vigilante font de cet album un des meilleurs de Magnum mais pas un des plus typiques. I've read quite a few reviews who depend their rating whether the album (or artist) is prog and rate it down if not. those who ventures in this kind of music, for classical trained prog listner this one might be a desaster.

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! I decided to replace my old cd as some tracks had always seemed to jump so I was quite disappointed to find the new does the same so perhaps it is a mastering fault when the it was transferred from vinyl. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. The approach adopted here was a lot more commercial and the end result is a more streamlined Magnum sound. 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.

Language - Regardless of country of origin all tracks are sung in English, unless otherwise stated in our description. The album was produced by Roger Taylor of Queen and the sound of the album is very much of its time.

Gracenote bizarrely categorizes this as 'Metal' (whereas even AC/DC and Led Zeppelin are tagged 'Rock') but who cares? Eventually got round to properly replacing my very battered 2nd hand CD of this album with a shiny new one. 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.While I have always liked the title track, I initially dismissed the rest of the album as too poppy and simplistic.
