What a rise back to form! The 2 years that have gone since "The Visitation" have made wonders with Magnum (or should I say, to songwriter Tony Clarkin?) and the deliver some of the best music since the end of the 1980's! Some songs are not more than okey but the good songs are really good, they live much more than on previous albums in the 2000's and the choruses are just great and melodies superb. Also the bit of progressiveness that are still here and there in Magnum's music is really good on this album. A should-have album!

1)All the dreamers (8,5) Majestic and big 7-minute song after nice intro. A really good and pompous hardrocksong. Magnum is back!

2)Blood red laughter (8,0) Melodic and heavy rocker. Good stuff.

3)Didn't like you anyway (7,5) Variated and melodic in typical Magnum-style.

4)On the 13thd day (8,5) Sooo so good! A killer refrain!

5)So let it rain (7,0) An ordinary Magnum melodic rock song.

6)Dance of the black tattoo (7,5) Heavy mainriff.

7)Shadow town (7,0)

8)Putting things in place (8,0) A beautiful ballad.

9)Broken promises (9,0) A really damn good hardrocksong!

10)See how they fall (8,0)

11)From within (7,0)

Score: 7,82
