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.

Is this officially the end of the band?

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.

It HAS to be.  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.

      I grew up listening to Cuntry, and have kinda wanted to get back into it. But not the typical New Cuntry shit. So I'll give this a try.

      I always forget about this band, and then I listen to them and am like, "Oh, yeah, they're good!" And then forget about them for another year.

      I was a pretty big fan. Nature Of The Beast is a killer song. Saw them with Dave Gleeson from the Screaming Jets singing and he did an amazing job, but pretty sure they have a new singer now  I recently went through the two most recent albums before this one and there were a couple of ok tracks, but mostly mid. Fun fact: I saw the Angels a couple of years before Doc died at the Middle hotel in Ferntree Gully and they seemed to hate each other. Pretty sure Doc said nothing to the crowd all night. Fun fact 2: when they were building the transit bar in Melbourne, a mate and I found a service elevator that went to the roof, which was under construction. After peeing off the roof, which is always fun, we realised that we could clearly hear the music 5 or 6 floors below from a DJ I think. He was playing Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again. We started yelling down the No Way Get Fucked, Fuck Off bit thinking we were hilarious. Then soon we noticed people looking up, and for some reason they seemed to be clearly hearing us. Another mate then called us to tell us security were on the way up the stairs so we took the service elevator down and managed to laugh it off. Stoopid drunk story I guess, but fun days.

      AI generated music… is this where we’re heading?

      Cheeky, getting your artwork in there. I wonder how you did that.  I like the vocal track on #1 and that'd be my pick. I personally don't dig the female versions of songs, because I'm not a female (yet?) and as these are songs written by ourselves I personally feel the best interpretation is an AI dude voice taking the place of your dude voice.

      Yeah, that's great but this is obviously an accomplished musician probably completely in control of this output... not done with Suno, I'd bet. There's definitely dudes out there who are perfectly capable of doing their own music, like this dude, but for whatever reason might not be able to put a project together, again, for whatever reason... but this definitely feels a lot more like AI feeling in the missing gaps for someone otherwise in complete control of what he wants.  Either way, it is very cool indeed.  As Darkstone says, I'm not sure paying is the way to get the best results. I'm also not saying it isn't, especially with other platforms that are not Suno. I think already knowing what you're doing, musically, is the best way to get best results, personally. Suno, for example, is just perfect for someone who might enjoy writing lyrics but is not in any way shape or form an accomplished (or even adequate, lol) musician.  But yeah, it's pretty cool for some fun. I'm not sure if you checked out my links above. Keeping them pretty quiet due to lyrical content, lol, but you might dig some of the stuff in my links. 'As the moment passes by' and 'I'll wait for you' are two of my personal faves. Along with 'Faith to fall.'

      Yeah, musically it's what you want, but vocally... Maybe Alex should take some vocal lessons from Ken Tamplin. ;}

      Yes, celebrating their fifty years. There only two original members left in the band. Dusty might agree with me the Angels died when the original singer passed away.
