Captain Cowardly Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 What a pleasant surprise! A really fresh, consistent album with a few twists (the brass & sax!). What a fitting note for the band to end on. It's hard to pick a favourite from the album, whereas for the last few years they've been very much a band that have consistently released good albums, where there were a few stand out tracks and then I didn't revisit it much. This one has been on repeated spins. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to be honest and admit that although I love some of the late 80's and early 90's Magnum stuff, I really haven't enjoyed their recent output at all. Just couldn't get into it all. I'm not going to say I suddenly love this album, but I will say it is a lot better, imo, than any of their recent output. If this is their last album, then I think it's a fair effort indeed. 'Run Into the Shadows' is one of the better Magnum songs I've heard in a long while. Rest in peace Tony Clarkin. A life well and truly, thoroughly lived. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony was the only songwriter in the band for 50+ years. Bob Catley is almost 80 and his voice sounds better on this album than it has in years, but live is a different story. I imagine they might do a farewell tour with a stand-in guitarist, or a Tony Clarkin tribute show headlined by Magnum's farewell performance, but you can't carry the band on as a recording entity without the only songwriter consistently across their career minus a very small handful of co-writes. Tony wrote it, Bob sang it and a variety of people backed the pair over the years, but Magnum were Tony's writing and Bob's voice, and without Tony's writing, you just have Bob as a solo artist. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
