Magnum – On The Thirteenth Day (2012)
These days you’re never to old to rock and roll. Aerosmith is still touring with Steven Tyler a year a way from Social Security, and the Stones are talking about it again, too. Hardly youngsters any more, England’s Magnum returns with eighteenth studio album, On the Thirteenth Day.
This album is representative Magnum: nice melodic rock, sometimes edgy and heavy, sometimes with nods to progressive rock. That’s not a bad thing at all. Familiarity should not breed contempt, as long time fans will certainly dig this album.
I’ve always found Magnum more interesting when they mix a heavier side to more provocative arrangements as on Dance of the Black Tattoo or Broken Promises.

For the record, I saw Kix live about 30 years ago (yeah, I’m that old) in a shithole of a nightclub called The Village (it may still be a shithole) in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Besides surviving the heat, sweat, and overpriced beer (yeah, it’s always been that way) of that night, I recall Kix putting on an energetic show.
You’ll get a taste of that energy withLive in Baltimore, a recording made at one their favorite hangouts, Rams Head Live. As with most reunion bands, the show is basically Kix’s greatest hits played live. They haven’t recorded any new material since 1995. You get many Kix classics like Kix Are For Kids, Girl Money, Cold Blood, the successful ballad Don’t Close Your Eyes, and a hyper-exaggerated version of Yeah Yeah Yeah. Surprisingly, the band sounds really good, and with that last song, front man Steve Whiteman is at his lewd, crude, and rude best.
