About

Released in 1981, Magnets was the second album by The Vapor. The theme of this album circles mostly around psychotic people and can be considered quite dark. The lead-single and opening track on this album Jimmie Jones is about a cult leader for example and the title track (Magnets) is about the assassination of John F Kennedy. The album also got less airplay then its predecessor (New Clear Days) and wasn't received as well either. The Vapors were also on a side track for the label due to reorganisations and fusions with United Artist. Given the fact the band also started having more and more argument, they broke up somwhere between 1981 and 1982. .
