Magnum - Goodnight L.A. (1990)

 

The eight album from this band from Great Britain.

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

Some guests, including two members from Saga, added percussion, saxophones, programming and vocals.

The band continued on. This time with major label backing... and then grunge arrived and turned the music business upside down.

The music on this fifty minutes long album is pomp rock laden AOR with a lot of heavy metal influences. 

The music has a very commercial sound with a first class 1990s production and sound. 

The vocals is good and the band does a good job.

The quality of the songs are barely decent and is the main problem here. The band tried to write and record commercially catchy tunes... but failed.

The vocals is the saving grace here on this barely decent enough album.
