Tony Clarkins creativity was unbelievable. It made it easy to maintain the level, the first-class predecessor. The LP / CD * Vigilante * really should be called in the same breath as * On A Storytellers Night *, even if the talks literal thread not so clearly runs through the songs like it was the case a year earlier.
First of all counts the cover artwork but to the best that ever graced a Magnum LP, then songs like * Vigilante * and * Need A Lot Of Love * indispensable part of our live set. And there are * represented * Backstreet Kid * * Red On The Highway *, * Holy Rider * and * Sometime Love * excellent * with highlights and When The World Comes Down a superb ballad. Boredom, there was not at this stage of Magnum, but only high-profile work.
The gene density was Encountered While 1986 still very manageable (* Magnum? Do you now Tom Selleck, or what? *), Characterized the music worked but somehow elitist than in many successful bands, viewed times purely subjective.
CONCLUSION: bombastic, atmospärischer Hard Rock with no failures ...
