This is my favorite Queen album. I could do without DTSuicide, and PJ, but after that its actually a brilliant album. Play The Game alone elevates it.
I think this was his last great album they published
How can this album be 36? Queen were everywhere, they conquered America in 1980 with this album and they were the biggest band in the world. They just finished their Crazy tour and they were red hot in Europe and south america. 36? I don't buy it.
Still strong, but Queen aren't pushing themselves quite as hard on this one. Another One Bites the Dust is legendary, and there's 3 or 4 other gems. But this album has more filler than the previous 3 or 4. The downward slide is just around the corner. In a Flash, if you will.
Another one bites the dust!
I don't think you can ever accuse this band of frontloading albums in the days of records and cassettes. Three of the last four tracks are classic Freddy Mercury showmanship, especially the stunning, beautifully, beautifully sung closer.
This is a very solid record in terms of music. 10 solid songs, with good melodies, and interesting instrumentation. The problem lies in the lack of stand out material. Everything here is very simple, and in many ways very 50s. Tracks like Crazy Little Thing Called Love, Save Me, Play the Game, are all nice sounding tracks, but they don't really have anywhere exciting to go. Nonetheless, this is a consistently pleasant listen, with 10 good songs, possibly a few great ones in there too. ***Definitely in terms of Queen's older sound, Dragon Attack comes closest with it's awesome bassline and cool middle eight.
Song for song this is not only Queen's best album but it has to be one of the most underrated albums of all time
All I can remember as a kid was calling into the local radio channel and requesting “Another One Bites The Dust” every hour. The bass on that song alone was hypnotizing. When I finally had the album in my hands that produced this catchy tune, the rest was history. From start to finish, this record changed my life. This record could be released today and still sell millions. It is still fresh after 28 Years!
