The riff and the chorus are top notch. The song is maybe let down a little by the verses. But it's still pretty good. I was never mad on Magnum. They seemed to support just about everyone I went to see from about 1978 to 1983  |

Only record I ever owned by the band is this single. And listening to it now, I have no idea why It's not really my thing at all. But I must have liked it at the time or I wouldn't have bought it  |

But I must have liked it at the time or I wouldn't have bought it I've always been a bit confused by them. Sometimes they seem very very proggy (not for me), sometimes aor (not me, but the track vigilante is brilliant) , sometimes commercial rock, sometimes a bit heavy metally. The new single sounds like Dio in places. Really like rocking chair, which is just straight ahead rock They are a band I've always wanted to explore further, but I suspect anyone could easily listen to the wrong album with this lot... Think I'll give the albums a listen that Mark recommends |

Blue Highway used to wax lyrical on here about Magnum.
Or did he? Is this a Bobby Ewing/ Pam Ewing shower-scene moment?👀
Always liked Bob’s (Catley, not Ewing!)singing - just can’t ’get’ the band tho. A pity. I think.🤔
