Magnum’s Chase the Dragon is the British band’s 1982 third album, combining melodic hard rock with the progressive and theatrical elements that defined their early sound. Produced by Jeff Glixman, the record features Tony Clarkin’s expansive songwriting and Bob Catley’s distinctive vocals, backed by richly layered keyboards and guitars. Highlights include “Soldier of the Line,” “Sacred Hour,” “The Spirit” and “The Lights Burned Out.”
