Free Music Notes for Classic Queen
Free Music Review: sends shivers down my spine...
Hit: 5 Stars
Classic Queen boasts many excellent tunes by one of the greatest rock bands ever, Queen. Freddy Mercury sang with all his heart and soul; and the band backed him up musically without a flaw. Mercury's piano playing added to the overall positive effect of this band that could never be forgotten. Sure, this is a single CD compilation; but as single CDs go this one is really pretty good. We get seventeen songs with one of them being the somewhat curious but unparalleled "Bohemian Rhapsody." In addition, the artwork is great and the quality of the sound is excellent.
"A Kind Of Magic" starts the CD off strong. The finger snapping with the musical special effects kick off the tune really well; and when Freddy Mercury comes in with the percussion I really like the sound of this rock tune! Freddy belts it out well, too; and that's excellent. "A Kind Of Magic" is truly a highlight of this album; but of course the major highlight of this CD is the next tune, "Bohemian Rhapsody." "Bohemian Rhapsody" is a work of pure genius, the type of genius that I suspect comes from creative artists letting their imaginations go wild without inhibitions. Of course, "Bohemian Rhapsody" worked (and still works) like a charm to help Queen remain relevant in the music world; and this number remains hauntingly beautiful.
"Stone Cold Crazy" also has special effects; and the band rocks really hard to make this one stand out! They handle the tempo changes like the pros they always were--right in the spotlight, right where they belonged! "Tie Your Mother Down" is another excellent rock tune that screams its way out of the band and you're sure to love it. There's another gem in "These Are The Days Of Our Lives." Freddy Mercury sings this passionately and I'm very impressed.
"Keep Yourself Alive" is another awesome song; the guitar work never lets you down and Freddy Mercury sings this without missing a beat! "Headlong" is yet another tune that I think you'll like; this is a true rock number with electric guitars that work very well for "Headlong." The CD ends strong with Queen performing "The Show Must Go On." "The Show Must Go On" ends the album with quite a memorable number and if you were just a casual fan of Queen before you're sure to be a more serious fan after hearing "The Show Must Go On" with the other songs on this CD.
The liner notes include many pictures of the band along with some notes about each song.
Classic Queen is a sweet deal at the current price; Queen fans will want this for their collections (as if they didn't have this one already). This is also a good album to start with if you're just discovering Queen. If you like this CD you should consider getting other CDs and CD sets by Queen including Greatest Hits, Vols. 1 & 2; Greatest Hits I, II & III - The Platinum Collection; A Night At The Opera; News Of The World and A Day At The Races. You won't regret it!
