Free Music Notes for Rocks 1
Free Music Review: Great much-needed compilation, but not perfect
Hit: 4 Stars
Due to recent mediocre compilations containing Queen's '80s pop hits, people have begun to forget Queen's real status as a metal band...which is where this disc comes in.Unfortunately, it doesn't quite represent the harder side of Queen as best as it could, because it omits two obvious tracks: "Death On Two Legs" and "Get Down, Make Love". And including "Ogre Battle" and "White Man" would have made it much better. Some songs like "Keep Yourself Alive" and "Put Out The Fire" seem out-of-place (they're rock, but not hard-rock).
Still, all the songs on here are winners and this is a great rock "mix" CD for the car. I'd much rather listen to this CD than the recent "Greatest Hits"/"Classic Queen"/"Platinum Collection" compilations.
Free Music Review: Great driving C.D.
Hit: 4 Stars
I have been an avid queen fan since I was in my mothers womb. I have all of their albums save greatest hits 3 and alot of the rarities. I picked this one up only because of the "new queen song" No one but you and I have to say that it is the weakest song on the album. THe rest of the disc is great. Some new mixes (I'm in love with my car and I can't live with you) some old. But still a great disc to drive to. I can't tell you how many times I acidently do 85 in my car while listening to this disc.Free Music Review: Oh yeah!!

I like Queen, but am not the typical die-hard fan. I've always MUCH preferred their hard rock material to their more pop creations Freddie Mercury's voice and Brian May's guitar are an incredible combination. This album has nothing but Queen rock tracks. so if you want more than that, better get their Greatest Hits compilations. Personally, I find this very satisfying when I'm in that head bangin' mood!Free Music Review: Queen RAWKS!
Hit: 3 Stars
A compilation album that featured Queen's heavier side. Some of these tracks were passed over years ago in favor of more "commercial" songs and now finally get their just rewards.Though another compilation album seems tedious, there are wonderful tracks here such as the anti-gun sentiment in "Put Out the Fire" and the Martin Luther King Jr. inspired "One Vision"."I Can't Live With You" is given a rock make-over and is all the better for it. I'd much prefer Roger's drumming to synth drum machines."No-One But You" is of course, a tribute to Freddie and is the only Queen song not to have Freddie's involvement in (well, he'd been dead some 6 years before this song was recorded) but really, this is for anyone who left this world before their time. With Brian and Roger singing a duet for the first time, this track's a winner...regardless of it's stripped down production.Want to avoid the "pop" side of Queen? Buy "Queen Rocks" then.Free Music Review: Queen Rocks: Another "Best Of"
Hit: 3 Stars
First of all, I have to say that this album is another Best Of, but it has "No One But You". 1. They should have included "Princes Of The Universe", "Gimme The Prize" & "The Hitman".
2. Where's Volume 2?
3. Bad art work.
Well... At least it has No One But You...
