Description

Magnum are back and heading back towards their best work with an album that erases the disappointment of Breath Of Life. This is a tighter record and sounds like a proper band record and overall gives the impression of a far more cohesive body of work than its seemingly over-programmed predecessor. This is Magnum's second album post-reunion, albeit with a slightly different line up. This album sees the guys getting back into the groove and getting more comfortable with the new line-up, which now features Thunder drummer Harry James. It also sees songwriter Tony Clarkin more focused on what the traditional sound of Magnum really is and he delivers some great new songs. This is a far more guitar driven album and ranks alongside Goodnight LA and Rock Art for its aggression. Bob Catley is in his usual immaculate vocal form, Tony Clarkin rocks, and the rhythm section of Al Barrow and new drummer Harry James really set up the band. Needless to say, Mark Stanway also provides an essential ingredient, with his piano and organ really filling the band's sound. Overall a fine addition to the Magnum legacy and an album that certainly impresses more than the last album Breath Of Life did. Track Listing: 1. Brand New Morning 2. It's Time To Come Together 3.
