4 points to consider before buying:

I really do not see the point in releasing an all ballads album at any stage of any bands career!
I really do not think ballads is Magnum’s forte, not that they aren’t capable of writing strong ballads, it’s just that their strong suits lay somewhere else.
I love Magnum and think they are one the best hard rock bands around, but would rather buy a new album or even a new live album before any kind of Best of.
Who is going to buy this album? Fans does already have all the songs, even though they have been re-mixed, re-recorded and/or re-mastered for this release…

When I kicked this site off back in 2003, I had no idea that it would turn into what it has become. I am very proud of what we've done and achieved over the years. Musically I have a soft spot for 80s inspired hard rock, but my favourite music and bands are all to be found in the progressive universe these days.
