Rating : - Definitive Magazine
Like Ultravox, Magazine drew heavily on the textures of Roxy Music and the paranoid space cadet ethos of Bowie. Real Life is the group's definitive work, featuring the propulsive "Shot by Both Sides" as well as Howard Devoto's stark visions of alienation and urban angst as vividly displayed in such songs as "Motorcade" and "The Light Pours out of Me." Fans of the aforementioned Ultravox, Tuxedomoon, Joy Division and Visage will certainly find Real Life a pleasure.
