Magnum - Brand New Morning (2004)

 

The 12th album from this band from Great Britain.

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

The band soldiered on after their comeback. The market was not in their favour. Nevertheless, their fans kept them alive. That and some non-music daytime jobs, I suspect.

Brand New Morning is almost one hour long and we get the usual blend of AOR and pomp rock here. The blend the band almost has copyrighted.... Well, almost. 

Their last albums has been pretty weak. The band had entered the doldrums and were fighting to get out of it and fill their sails again with some wind.

The band does not move anywhere on this album.

The songs are formula based and not in particular interesting. The vocals is still good but that is the best thing I take from this album.

There are some decent songs here. The remaining songs are dire. Hence...

1.5 points
