Magnum - The Monster Roars (2022)

 

The 21th album from this band from Great Britain.

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

The band returned again with this one hour long album after a two years long album break.

The band's first twenty albums has been a mixed bag, quality wise. But they have never really released a truly bad album. That's to their eternal credit.

This sixty minutes long album is following their well trodden path. The music is pomp rock with a lot of AOR and some heavy metal influences.

The music is songs orientated, verse-chorus-verse, with some good guitars and keyboards. On the top of that again, we get some pretty great vocals.

The twelve songs here are mid-lenght to short. They are all decent enough.

This is not their best album by a far distance. It is still an album which should please anyone into this band and AOR/pomp rock.
