Pros: Queen goes hard and DOESN'T go home. Cons:Love of My Life isn't their best song.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Queen is the best. They are the top of the top of the top of the food chain, and you can't get any better than Freddie's sexy vocals, Brian's driving guitar, Roger's impressive drums, and John's kicking bass ...
Pros: The vocal harmonies in Surround Sound are awesome! Cons: Not everyone will get to hear how great this album sounds.
If you have read my reviews, you know I love DVD-Audio an audio format that has perfect sound and multi channel mixes. Growing up in the 70s and 80s, as I did, of course one of my favorite bands was Queen! If you ever saw Wayne's World and saw ...
Pros: Phenomenal, phenomenal album Cons: Some songs are better than others....
When I was growing up, Queen was always one of those bands that I knew but did not really listen to in depth. I also knew that they were huge (and still are today) in the musical world. Yet I somehow managed not to listen to their ...
Pros: Classic Queen music in the truest sense of the word, timeless Cons: None to speak of
A Night At The Opera, released in 1975, is their best work, in my opinion--it's completely overblown, pompous and pretentious, but it has just the perfect combination of classical influence, nostalgia, pop and visceral rock 'n roll to completely...
Pros: Unique and diverse mix of musical styles, theatrical elements, campy fun, "Bohemian fuckin' Rhapsody". Cons: Not everyone can appreciate the campiness; a couple less-than-stellar moments limit Queen's potential.
I'm sure most people nowadays are familiar with the term 'rock opera', and for those who aren't, I'll break it down for you. The phrase 'rock opera' is often used to describe an album that has a musical theme and story that is continued through every ...
Pros: Brian May; interesting mix of musical genres Cons: Genre diversity borders on bizarre; bonus tracks on remaster are pointless
In the annals of rock history, there aren't a lot of truly unique bands that reached the pinnacle of success beyond "one hit wonder" status. Not to say that it can't be done, but the more a band is known for something, the more it becomes expected of...
Ever since 1967, whenever a rock band releases an edgy, theatrical, and brilliant album, said album is referred to as that band's Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, and for a good reason: it's a very easy comparison to make. But most edgy, ...
Pros: Freddie's voice is the best it ever sounded on this record. The material is top-notch. Cons: production could have been better.
This epinion is based on the Hollywood Records release from 1991. This is Queen's greatest album. Oh yes, Queen have released many other albums that are amazing and almost as grand, but the songs on A Night At The Opera ...
Pros: Unforgettable "progressive" rock songwriting and performance Cons: Forever tied to "Wayne's World"
Queen's 1975 release "A Night At The Opera" has a scary title, perhaps, for some. Cliches assault the mind: Amazonian Viking maidens? Singing "barbers"? Pavorotti with his hankey? No, friends, this is nothing more or less than good,...
Pros: Amazing music, amazing lyrics, unbelievable diversity. One of the finest albums of the decade. Cons: Not much. Maybe just the four minute vocal solo in "The Prophet's Song"
“Queen’s Sergeant Pepper!” the headlines screamed, and for many good reasons. This album, considered by most fans to be the Queen album, has much in common with the Beatles album that declared in the CD booklet that the 129 days it took to produce...
Pros: Dynamics in Rock Music at its BEST! Cons: None, Perfect
It was with A Night at The Opera that queen announced to the world that they had arrived. While Sheer Heart Attack had its moments and in fact was an outstanding early release (1974), it was Night at The Opera that reached into the...
Pros: You've never heard anything like this in your life. Cons: none
Queen's a Night at the Opera was the first Queen album I ever bought, and certainly not the last. This 1975 hit produced by Roy Thomas Baker and Queen included their most requested single "Bohemian Rhapsody" even today. This album is truely...
Pros: Unpredictable, showcases talents of each bandmember to the fullest. A good first buy Cons: The bad almost seems on par with the excellence sometimes.
This part of my Queen write-off deals with their most famous, acclaimed work, A Night at the Opera, containing one of the most hearalded singles of all time, 'Bohemian Rhapsody'. It is constantly refered to as their best work; it's not. Darn good,...
Pros: Outstanding music and lyrics performed with high energy and precision. Cons: Since song styles vary widely, some may be less to one's tastes than others.
"Bohemian Rhapsody" got my attention first, but it was just the overture to what "A Night At The Opera" had to offer -- in a word, CONTRASTS.
Most of the music is classic '70s rock in vintage Queen style; "You're My...
