Magnum - The Eleventh Hour (1983)

 

The fourth album from this band from Great Britain.

The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.

The band returned again one year after their third album Chase The Dragon. That album was a decent enough album.

The band continues down the same path again with their take on pomp rock with a lot of heavy metal influences. Some AOR influences has also been added this time around just to appeal to a bigger audience.

The difference between Chase The Dragon and this forty minutes long album is not more substantial than that.

The songs are melodic and comes complete with a 1980s sound. The guitars, keyboards and vocals are good.

The music is not particular heavy. The music is indeed pleasant. There is not really any good songs here though. That is my main gripe with this album.

This is a decent enough album and an album those into the 1980s music scene should check out.
