Album Review

Essentially, this 17-track album is a second-volume Queen's Greatest Hits, picking up the story from that album's 1981 release and taking it to the end of Queen's career. But the album also contains a few tracks — "Bohemian Rhapsody," "Keep Yourself Alive," and "Under Pressure" — that appeared on that first set, as well as a couple — "Stone Cold Crazy" and "Tie Your Mother Down" — from the same era. The remaining 12 tracks, culled from The Works, A Kind of Magic, The Miracle, and Innuendo, represent songs that were not big hits in the U.S. Nevertheless, with a resurgence of interest in Queen and the second coming of "Bohemian Rhapsody," courtesy of Wayne's World, this album returned Queen to platinum status and the U.S. Top Five for the first time since the early '80s.

Customer Reviews

Amazing Band, Badly Made Album

Queen is my favourite band, and I have all their albums. But this selection does not live up to what it should be. This CD was originally intended to compile Queen's later work, and it fails at doing that. It covers a lot of Queen's hits from the '80's, and even sticks in a few songs from the '70's ("Keep Yourself Alive" was actually their first single from 1973). But this album has some horrific omissions, most notably "Innuendo" (debuted at #1 in the UK). It is shameful to leave one of Queen's #1's off this album. Also missing are "Friends Will Be Friends", "It's A Hard Life", "Breakthru", "The Invisible Man", and "I Want To Break Free". But enough on what the album should be, and on to what the album is. The album has some decent selections. "Bohemian Rhapsody", although being the greatest song ever written, is somewhat of a misfit among Queen's later works (as are "Stone Cold Crazy", "Tie Your Mother Down", and "Keep Yourself Alive"). The album hits several great songs from the '80's too. The inclusions of "One Year Of Love" and "These Are The Days Of Our Lives" are unexpected, yet fit in well with most of the material on this album. Overall, decent album with some bad omissions. A better buy would be Queen's "Greatest Hits II", or just buy Queen's "Greatest Hits I & II" if you haven't already bought "Greatest Hits"

Queen rocks!

All you young'uns should listen to Queen instead of your stupid rap-crap and hip-hop!

QUEEN RULES

All I can say is: QUEEN IS THE GREATEST! and AIDS suck because they killed Freddy Mercury.

Biography

Formed: 1971 in London, England

Genre: Rock

Years Active: '70s, '80s, '90s, '00s

Few bands embodied the pure excess of the '70s like Queen. Embracing the exaggerated pomp of prog rock and heavy metal, as well as vaudevillian music hall, the British quartet delved deeply into camp and bombast, creating a huge, mock-operatic sound with layered guitars and overdubbed vocals. Queen's music was a bizarre yet highly accessible fusion of the macho and the fey. For years, their albums boasted the motto "no synthesizers were used on this record," signaling their allegiance with the legions...
