| This is their most 80's sounding albums, especially the drums sounds like Def Leppard. That doesn't mean I don't like that sound, but for Magnum I prefer the warm sound of their previous albums. It is not as good as On A Storytellers Night but still a great album. My favorite songs are Lonely Night, Sometime Love, Midnight & the fantastic title track. 9/10

| Bigger production and more drawn-out arrangements make for an extremely satisfying follow-up to "Storyteller's Night". I love the pompous gait of "Holy Rider" and the slow building power of "Midnight (You Won't Be Sleeping)". The title track will rocks your world and ass (in that order). An album of incredible power and stunning performances.

| Been awhile since I last listened to Vigilante but as I write this I'm being taken back to so many wonderful live performances that the hairs on the back of my neck are on end just with the sounds of this album Tony Clarkin is a very gifted guy,Bob Catley on vocals is truly gifted,if you have never seen them live!!and you get the chance you will come away from one of their shows cobsmacked and in awe!!! at how just good these guys are you will wonder how its taken you so long truly inspiring!!.

| Absolutely fucking amazing album!!! In the past I've always avoided Magnum but one day I picked up this album anyway. At first it didn't do much to me but after some time it really grew on me and today I can only say this album has entered my all-time top 10 of albums. Can't really explain what it is, but I think it's that immaculate 80s sound, the huge keyboards and the original melodies along with Catley's warm vocals. This album has it all: The pop rocker, the anthem, the ballad,

| (Continued)...The R'n'R track and the "metal" classic...In my opinion a total experience of pure listening delight...Normally I'm into Hardrock stuff but Magnum's sure got some tricks up their sleeves...Personal favorites: "Vigilante", "Backstreet Kid" and "Sometime Love". "Midnight" is a nice soft song too...Well, the whole album is perfect! 10/10!!! The Roger Taylor production and the inevitable Queen sounding guitar only makes better yet...Remember to keep your night light burning...

| Decente, pero es un disco de pop: demasiado sencilllito. Mucho mejor Chase the dragon, que sin ser progresivo sí entra en estructuras un pelín más curradas. Me recomendáis alguno más en que se curren las composiciones. El storyteller lo veo aún demasiado sencillo

| Wow! After the sheer brilliance of OASTN this comes as a refreshing surprise! A definite change of direction, but somehow the destination is still the same! And that destination is the hearts and minds of everyone who appreciates genuine melody & emotion! From the stubbornly English pomp of OASTN to the wide eyed European pop rock of Vigilante Magnum lost none of their vitality and class. And this journey progressed to the stunning WOH - perhaps the ultimate combination of everything 'Magnum'!

Ahhh...can anybody really explain why Magnum never took over America, and indeed the world, like a joyous fire? These open-hearted, stomping, wild-eyed, gleeful slices of melodic genius would have sounded SO GOOD echoing in unison from thousands of dancing radios. Maybe they are simply too good, too 'nice', too GENUINE. There is no rebellion here. No angst. No hate. No sexual perversion. No bitter twist. All there is is honesty and emotion and passion and talent and oh! that endless melody.

| These guys were a good harmless band. While they never had any songs that blew my mind, they had the ability to record an album like this - with a whole bunch of good solid AOR tracks. Nicely done and a good solid album.

| Para los amantes del buen AOR rockero y elegante, con grandilocuentes teclados, voz de ensueño y temas que ponen los pelillos tiesos, como: When the world comes down (espectacular) o Need a lot of love.

| MAGNUM is a great AOR/Progressive Rock band. This album has great songs as "Lonely Night" (powerful guitars), "Sometime Love" (same here), "Midnight (You Won't Be Sleeping)" and "Vigilante". Pure AOR.

| Ohh mamma!! We are in front of an AOR jewell, no doubt!! The song "vigilante", despite having a very typical beginning it gets better. I haven´t listened to the other releases, how are they? I´d like to know whether the sound in other albums are similar to this or not. Thanx!

| MAGNIFICO!! Un gran disco de AOR sin duda es éste. Creo que ya está todo dicho, sólo comentar de la grandeza de temas como: "Vigilante" que es un tema esplendoroso; "Lonely Night" de gran calidad y "Holy Rider". SUPER RECOMENDADO

| Masterpiece! Vigilante is one among a few albums that leaded melodic rock through the 80ies decade. A must for everyone considered as a fan of AOR. The wrods are poor...Strictly 98/100 (just because I do not rate 10 out of 10)Go out and buy it now! Fortunately Polydor is offering this and it's generally easy to find

| Definitely the best sounding and produced Magnum album (Queen's Roger Taylor)to date, this is another terrific disc, choc full of great songs. I remember seeing them on the 'Vigilante' tour and the band were really firing on all cylinders and also playing bigger and better venues than before. Lonely Night & 'Vigilante' are typically great Magnum Rockers with some great keyboards and 'Need A Lot Of Love'a great ballad. The rest of the album is good quality aswell and very consistent as usual. Another highly recommended Magnum disc then and a very nice addition to the collection.

| Producer Roger Taylor (Queen) must've been determined to sonically mire this album in the '80s. Just like his "Strange Frontier" solo album of the same period, programming, sequencers, keyboard bass, choppy eighth notes, plasticized drums & choked cymbals all make an appearance and all make this Magnum's most dated-sounding release, production-wise. Good material abounds, however, some of the best of their most "commercial" period: "Back Street Kid," "Lonely Night," "When the World Comes Down," and the fantastic "Need A Lot of Love" stand out. And the mighty Bob Catley is at the top of his game, which always makes for great listening. Clarkin still can't play a lead to save his life, but when you can write material as prolific and bountiful as he does, it's an aspect that can easily be overlooked. Not quite "Storyteller's Night," but a great sample (Valley Girl production qualities aside) of their '80s incarnation nonetheless. 87 / 100.

| Tony Clarkin demuestra su valía como compositor, y Bob Catley en su mejor época, sin duda los trabajos de este grupo de finales de los ochenta y principios de los 90 son los que les dieron más notoriedad. Uno de los secretos mejor guardados de Inglattera!

| Fantastic album and perfect follow-up to Storyteller's! Again no filler in sight, really really good. Vigilante is ultrabrilliant composition.
