Vigilante

Product Information

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 initially gave only one star to this album, but I have now upgraded my rating to a more fair two stars.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.

It has been one of my favourite Magnum albums since it was released and shows them at their brilliant best. Vigilante" e' quel disco che ti fa assaporare il classico Rock fatto di chitarre possenti ma mielosee da atmosferiche tastiere che rendono tutto magico.those who ventures in this kind of music, for classical trained prog listner this one might be a desaster. Auf diesem Album geht es etwas rockiger zu, aber 2 melodiöse Nummern setzen sich auf Anhieb im Ohr fest.

The feel of the album is entirely different from On A Storyteller's Night; lighter, streamlined, as I said, but not without substance. While I have always liked the title track, I initially dismissed the rest of the album as too poppy and simplistic.Please consider supporting us by giving monthly PayPal donations and help keep PA fast-loading and ad-free forever.

Capitalising on the success of On a Storyteller's Night, Magnum changed to a more commercial direction with Vigilante. 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. From the breathy, synthy opening of Lonely Night to the ecstatic, drum-clattering coda of Back Street Kid, these are just nine top-notch songs given the best glossy, mid-80s production values by the skilled hand of Roger Taylor.

Eventually got round to properly replacing my very battered 2nd hand CD of this album with a shiny new one. Tracks such as "Lonely Night", "Need a Lot of Love", "Midnight (You Won't Be Sleeping)" and "Vigilante" laid the groundwork for the group to reach their commercial and creative peak on their follow-up UK Top 5 album, Wings of Heaven. Three singles were released to promote the album, "Lonely Night", "Midnight (You Won't Be Sleeping)" and "When the World Comes Down".

I don't give many five-star reviews, but Vigilante gets one because it's proof that there was good music being made even in the Thatcherite taste desert that was Britain in 1986. While the band had wanted Rodney Matthews to paint the artwork, the record company chose a different cover against the band's wishes. I've read quite a few reviews who depend their rating whether the album (or artist) is prog and rate it down if not. The approach adopted here was a lot more commercial and the end result is a more streamlined Magnum sound.
