Tracks such as "Lonely Night", "Need a Lot of Love", "Midnight (You Won't Be Sleeping)" and "Vigilante" laid the groundwork for the group to reach their commercial and creative peak on their follow-up UK Top 5 album, Wings of Heaven.

The album was produced by Roger Taylor of Queen and the sound of the album is very much of its time. Vigilante" e' quel disco che ti fa assaporare il classico Rock fatto di chitarre possenti ma mielosee da atmosferiche tastiere che rendono tutto magico. While the band had wanted Rodney Matthews to paint the artwork, the record company chose a different cover against the band's wishes. The approach adopted here was a lot more commercial and the end result is a more streamlined Magnum sound.There's truly not a bad track here, and different ones emerge as favourites each time I play it - currently it's Midnight, for its risky but perfectly judged saxophone climax, and Holy Rider, for that boomy, epic soundscape that prefigures what the Killers created in Sam's Town. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. 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.

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. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Three singles were released to promote the album, "Lonely Night", "Midnight (You Won't Be Sleeping)" and "When the World Comes Down". Irrespective of the source, all of our collectables meet our strict grading and are 100% guaranteed.Queen is one of my all-time favourite bands, and I'm sure that fans of 80's Queen will like this music.
