Free Music Notes for Flash Gordon (Soundtrack)
Free Music Review: Queen? Are we sure?
Hit: 2 Stars
Now Queen has a good sound, but this soundtrack doesn't show that at all. In fact there is only one song on this album, the theme to Flash Gordon, which is played 18 times on this album and the song isn't that complex, so it grows old real fast. The only difference between songs is that there is movie clips laid down over the music. It is almost like the movie has been put on cd. And the music doesn't sound like Queen, it has this wacky electronic sound to it. The only reason I gave it two stars is because the Flash Gordon remix (the Final track) isn't that bad, in fact it is sort of funny. Whoever mix it seemed like they had fun doing it. Besides that I would suggest staying away from this soundtrack, if you want a good Queen soundtrack, pick up the Highlander soundtrack!!Free Music Review: Find it all pretty satisfactory...

This is probably a mistake reviewing this record, but I am something of a completist so here it goes. `Flash Gordon' is a movie soundtrack, nothing more and nothing less and not particularly memorable. "Flash's Theme" is great for this record and "The Hero" is the best song and surprisingly heavy as compared with the rest of the album which is heavily syth laden. The movie can be enjoyable is watched in the right frame of mind, which is to enjoy it as a live action comic book with all the cheesiness that this implies. Only for fans of the film or for Queen fans who have to have it all (like me) but others stay away.Free Music Review: Not really essential to a collection

I love Queen, but I could have done without this album. It's just a collection of recordings for the "Flash Gordon" movie (which is great,by the way, if you like cheesy over the top early 80's sci-fi). I love the theme song, but a lot of this is very synth-based and filler, and could have been done a lot better. I think that Queen should have stayed away from this one. Still though, the larger-than-life musical style of Queen fits if you actually watch the movie. Otherwise, don't bother with this one.Free Music Review: on a loop

Warning! This CD is for die-hard Queen fans only. I bought this cd for my uncle's birthday, he is the aforementioned die-hard fan, and he loves the cd. But as I listened to it I couldn't help thinking that the CD player was on the 'repeat track' setting. Almost every song has is either the main theme remixed or the main theme hidden among dialogue. Why not a one star rating? Well, I just couldn't do that to Queen.Free Music Review: Absolute bottom rung of Queen's career...
Hit: 2 Stars
Queen has reached an all-time low with the CD Flash Gordon. Of course, there are many people who didn't like Hot Space (Queen's 1980s disco music), but this album is so far afield of their previous work that it didn't even sound like them in the remotest. I would not buy this album unless you are a strong supporter (like me) of Queen's work or a collector.
