Oo, I have to disagree with that... (Perhaps not surprising, as
I love the previous albums :)

What I've heard of "Magic Box" sounded very much a radio-friendly
collection of dance songs (much like you'd hear listening to most pop
radio stations, or walking past a nightclub...)  I played the single,
"Rumour", and never having heard it before, I could literally do a
count-down to when the big heavy dance beat was going to kick in...

I didn't listen to the whole thing, but I heard too many songs that I
disliked to want to hear the rest...

Definitely their poorest effort in my opinion, so I guess my advice
is that if you really like their earlier albums, you may want to
avoid this one.
