The fifth album from this band from Great Britain.
The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.
One guest added backing vocals.
The band returned again for their fifth album.
This album is a semi-classic, some says classic, album from the 1980s and the album that was their breakthrough album. The cover art-work is classic and one of the best cover art-works from the 1980s and the pomp rock scene.
We get forty-five minutes of pomp rock on this album. Unashamed pomp rock with a lot of 1970s hard rock influences.
The sound and the vocals is very good on this album.
The opening track How Far Jerusalem is one of their best ever songs too. That and the title track are some good, make that two very good songs. The rest is not up to the same standard.
This is their best album up to that point and I would be positive surprised if I, at the end of my reviews of their albums sometimes later this year, find a better Magnum album than this.
This is indeed one of the best pomp rock albums ever released. Not that this genre is that great.... Nevertheless...
3 points
