Vigilante

Product Information

those who ventures in this kind of music, for classical trained prog listner this one might be a desaster. We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others. From the breathy, synthy opening of Lonely Night to the ecstatic, drum-clattering coda of Back Street Kid, these are just nine top-notch songs given the best glossy, mid-80s production values by the skilled hand of Roger Taylor. While the band had wanted Rodney Matthews to paint the artwork, the record company chose a different cover against the band's wishes.

Gracenote bizarrely categorizes this as 'Metal' (whereas even AC/DC and Led Zeppelin are tagged 'Rock') but who cares?Eventually got round to properly replacing my very battered 2nd hand CD of this album with a shiny new one.

I decided to replace my old cd as some tracks had always seemed to jump so I was quite disappointed to find the new does the same so perhaps it is a mastering fault when the it was transferred from vinyl. Condition - This item is in Excellent condition or better (unless it says otherwise in the above description). You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. Three singles were released to promote the album, "Lonely Night", "Midnight (You Won't Be Sleeping)" and "When the World Comes Down".

The weakest tracks are the first three and the last, but the ones in the middle are all good ones; Midnight (You Won't Be Sleeping), Red On The Highway, Holy Rider, and When The World Comes Down are actually not bad at all! Only nine tracks but very much quality rather than quantity I found this album utterly absorbing from start to finish.

Vigilante" e' quel disco che ti fa assaporare il classico Rock fatto di chitarre possenti ma mielosee da atmosferiche tastiere che rendono tutto magico. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Language - Regardless of country of origin all tracks are sung in English, unless otherwise stated in our description. Produced by David Richards and Queen drummer Roger Taylor, the band's sound stepped towards that of 1980s Queen, with keyboards much higher in the mix than guitar. The album was produced by Roger Taylor of Queen and the sound of the album is very much of its time.I don't give many five-star reviews, but Vigilante gets one because it's proof that there was good music being made even in the Thatcherite taste desert that was Britain in 1986. I've read quite a few reviews who depend their rating whether the album (or artist) is prog and rate it down if not. While I have always liked the title track, I initially dismissed the rest of the album as too poppy and simplistic.

This is a very good Magnum album - I don't like it as much as "Kingdom of Madness", "On a Storyteller's Night", "Wings of Heaven" or "Princess Alice and the Broken Arrow", but it is up there close to their best.The approach adopted here was a lot more commercial and the end result is a more streamlined Magnum sound.
