Free Music Notes for Flash Gordon (Soundtrack)
Free Music Review: If I Wanted Dialogue Over The Music, I'd Watch The Movie
Hit: 2 Stars
Don't get me wrong, I like when soundtracks/scores include memorable dialogue on them, but it should be separated from the music. I bought this expecting to hear the music from the film, but the dialogue is actually played OVER the music!!!! It is like watching the movie with a blindfold on!!!!
Maybe one day, Queen will release a music-only soundtrack.
Free Music Review: Not Much Variety - One or Two Good Songs
Hit: 2 Stars
I'm not really into the dialogue mixed in with the music and the album starts to sound all the same very quickly.
I do enjoy the title track as well as Vultan's Theme (which was used in the awesome arcade game Vanguard).
Free Music Review: Not Worth It
Hit: 1 Stars
Since "Flash's Theme" can be found on other Queen CDs, and most of the other "songs" aren't worth a second listen, you're better off passing on this CD. The band went a bit over the top with synths, which they had only recently incorporated into their music. The sounds created by the synths are as embarrassingly dated as this movie is ridiculously boring. Only Brian May's contributions are worth checking out: "Flash's Theme," "The Wedding March," and "The Hero," a bone-crunching power-chord bonanza that rocks just as well as anything Queen ever did before or after this forgettable album.
Free Music Review: Not a "proper" album
Hit: 1 Stars
Soundtrack to the highly campy film of the same name. Queen's biggest mistake came with releasing this album as a Queen album instead of the movie's score. Filled with almost entirely instrumentals.Taken as an album, it's almost a bore and the two actual songs really don't make up for it ("Flash's Theme" and the all out rocker "The Hero".)Taken as a film's score however, it's quite good with the moody vocalizations on "The Kiss" and Brian's take on "The Wedding March".Most Queen fans don't particularly care for this one so I'd suggest you pass until it's the last Queen CD on your list to buy.Free Music Review: Not very good
Hit: 1 Stars
Even though I am a big Queen fan, I must say that this is album is total waste of money unless you want to collect everything queen ever made. With the exception of the opening song, 'Flashes Theme', the CD sucks. I am not disappointed in Queen, I understand that every musical group has their share of ups and downs; this album is a small blemish on the otherwise brillant and incredible history of an awesome band.
