Pros: A few Queen classics. Cons: a lot of pretentious twaddle!
The boy is very excited. For the past eight weeks he has been saving his pocket money and this is the moment he has been waiting for. All of those forsaken chocolate bars or those toy cars he could have purchased; his mind almost reels with the...
Pros: Harmonies, guitar orchestrations, Freddie's lead vocals Cons: One pop track
Queen II was released in 1974, right on the heels of the critically acclaimed debut album released the year before. Queen II
has all of the features which would later become Queen trademarks: richly layered vocal harmonies,...
Pros: Great music, vocals & album artwork. Cons: none
Black & White! Brian May wears white nail polish and Freddie Mercury wore black. Brian May wore white eye shadow, Freddie Mercury wore black. Brian May wrote (most of) Side White, Freddie Mercury wrote Side Black. You see? Black & White! Simple ...
Pros: The basis of the "Queen Sound" is here. Cons: Still a bit rough around the edges.
In early 1974, Queen II made it debut. Since that time, it seems to have become lost in the shuffle. As is true with many artists' early work, this album sounds a little raw in spots, but Queen II is definitely a diamond in the rough....
Pros: Every song is brilliant, the production is rich, textured, and the album has a truly epic structure Cons: Mercury's Black Side has some downright wierd lyrics sometimes, it may put new fans off, but it'll grow.
This portion of my Queen write-off details their second, far-too-overlooked work, Queen II. Their debut didn't exactly set the world on fire; Japan snatched up Keep Yourself Alive but the rest of the world basically ignored it, so the band pulled out...
Pros: It's by Queen and has "Seven Seas of Rhye" on it. Cons: Just about everything else.
Every band has an album that is so vastly overrated by the die-hard fans of that group that most others are left totally bemused as to what they see in it. For The Beatles it’s “Revolver”, for David Bowie it’s anything much apart from “Let’s Dance”, and...
Pros: This is THE sound that most people associate with Queen. A few brilliant performances. Cons: There's a few songs on here that are a bit overdone. Even for Queen.
A cult classic and undoubtedly the album which provides the most of what people unacquainted with Queen like to think of as their "traditional" sound. It’s stacked with harmonies, Brian May's inimitable multi-layered guitar, songs full of thundering...
Pros: Its a magical and mystical journey. Brutally heavy at times and delicately sweet at others. Cons: Criminally under-rated, may be hard to obtain. Hard to take in all at once.
In 1974, now legendary British rock band Queen released their 2nd album Queen II, an album that has been very much forgotten in the sands of time, overlooked by critics and fans alike. An album that embraces Metal, Prog Rock, ballads and mythical ...
Pros: Unique, Original and Inventive Collection of Songs Cons: None
When Freddie Mercury died, I searched through my Queen collection, to find a song, that would sum up my feelings that night. A lot of thoughts went through my mind, about the way their music touched and influenced me.
I felt, I lost a friend and I...
Pros: Great masterpiece with its unique style and symphonic performance Cons: It may seem very strange to rock fans of Queen
First of all, let's decide what are you waiting from the second Queen album? I suppose it may appear bizarre to some Queen fans that got used to 80s and 90s Queen songs. Majority of songs you'll hear on Queen II are little masterpieces, symphonic and...
Pros: A true rock album with one of the greatest Queen-masterpieces: White Queen (As It Began) Cons: It may seem a bit strange to a general Queen fan
This album is, in my opininon, a must-have for every true Queen fan, but is also an album that may not be understood by an average Queen fan. In this review I'll try to explain why!
First of all, every fanatic of this band MUST have this album in...
Pros: It draws you in with their sound Cons: not typical queen
Queen 2 is probily one of the most underated and underplayed queen ablums. It has a sound all it's own with guitar licks that on the one hand are typical of a queen song and on the other hand rock like no other album they created. The guitar work...
Pros: Fantastic collection of songs. Cons: Their most eccentric work. You get some extra songs on the cd.
This is by far one of my favorite Queen albums. Father to Son, Ogre Battle, and March of the Black Queen really rock when many other bands were into the acoustic peace trip.
Freddie Mercury, aka Frederich Bulsara, had without doubt or argument the...
