Magnum On A Storytellers Night

Beautiful review, you put your heart into it and it's convincing and passionate. I respect and admire your feelings for this album, even though I don't share them. Clarkin is a skilled musician and composer, measured and intelligent. Catley is one of the (many) very good and passionate English singers. I like Magnum, but it's really their early phase, the almost progressive one (which ended with the album that followed this one), that doesn't excite me too much. Of those you mention, I much prefer "Wings Of Heaven," a great '80s AOR. In their music, there's that pompous and grandiloquent component that somewhat compromises my enjoyment of the listening experience. Congratulations again on your ability to convey your emotions in writing.

Well, no one is like Paul, but Howe is just a decent AOR singer. However, I invite you to rediscover Hart; it's true he's kind of a clone of Rodgers, but he's really good, and the tone of his voice is remarkable. The best student of Paul, though, is the singer of Thunder, Daniel Bowes. You Know?

BRIAN Howe, Stella. Or Robert HART. You did a mix of Rodgers' successors.

When FM radio came into the world, ARS were more or less on their fifth album. "The watered-down version of Southern Rock made for FM radio" is a phrase, not a word. Your first word that you associate with ARS remains unknown. I love Molly Hatchet and the (rough) voice of the late Danny Joe Brown, powerful and charismatic, notably similar to that of the late Van Zandt. I love Lynyrd Skynyrd, and you can find an example of that on this very site. It's a pity that you take the meaning of the adjectives I've used so radically that it makes you compare such different musicians. Are you sensitive?

One for all OleEinar: that of Nirvana (nothing to do with Kobain) released in '71 with the title 'Local Anaesthetic'. Incredible cover by Keef (the one from Black Sabbath, to be clear, a descriptive and haunting photographer like no other) and containing two elusive suites that are nothing more than a hodgepodge of instrumental ideas, harmonic progressions like those you might jot down on a recorder to perhaps develop some later, instead stuck together with tape for no reason at all.

Yes Roberto, the album you have is definitely worse than the others from the band. If you like over-the-top progressive, check out the first "Act One", among the most progressive albums there are. If you prefer to listen to more straightforward songs, this one or the next one 'Pathfinder' are fine, entirely similar in conception.

mario, as always just set on google "randy newman lyrics," or go first to "randy newman discography" and then, once you've picked one of his albums, set the lyrics search. In this case: "Born Again lyrics"
