Magnum: Chase The Dragon (1982)


 Magnum’s third album, 1982’s Chase The Dragon, finds the band further solidifying their own sound, utilizing some pomp flourishes here and there, but mostly relying on Tony Clarkin’s impeccable songwriting, and Bob Catley, whose voice rivals that of Robin Zander in power and skill. His recent announcement that, with the passing of Tony Clarkin, he simply cannot carry on with Magnum was incredibly sad, and just as understandable. Fortunately we have the albums, and this album is magnificent.
