Streetchild Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 I love how he's not trying to be Freddie, but does the songs his own way. And he does a great job with them.Can't wait for the album and their concert here in october. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moreblack Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Paul's from Bad Company and Free, not exactly bands known for their diversity. So either he took the Queen guys on a direct hard rock direction for the new material, or they got him to stretch his boundaries and do all the crazy styles that Queen used to do with Fred.

So maybe this'll be more of a straight ahead rock album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demon Wolf Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 (edited) From those who've heard the album previewed in its entirety, it's definately a rock album and not so much experimental as Queen with Freddie.But it's apparantly really good. Not so good quality, but a song from the album named Call Me. It's been said to be the most old-style Queen song of the album- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVHHXK__FvcI agree, it sounds like straight from the 70's Queen. Imagine Freddie on it. The solo is vintage Brian May and I love it. Edited September 12, 2008 by Demon Wolf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demon Wolf Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Having now heard the full album, I can say it is in fact a GREAT album!Solid tracks throughout, some classic Queen-elements (though I would've liked even more vocal harmonies) and Paul Rodgers is in fine form vocally. Brian May delivers his usual tasteful, trademark guitar melodies and Roger Taylor provides a killer rhythm section.After three listens, it's the slow songs that appeal to me the most so far. Small, We Believe and especially Some Things That Glitter are just fantastic songs, not too sappy and just beautifully arranged. Call Me scores high due to it being so close to classic Queen as it gets. Great vocal harmonies.The production is downright amazing. After hearing Metallica's latest, this one was a joy to the ears. Perfectly mixed, and it sounds stunning even on extremely loud volumes.The only track I did not particularly like was the bluesy and a bit slow Voodoo, and I'm not a huge fan of Warboys either. But overall, a solid album that I can really recommend and certainly better than I thought.It isn't Freddie... but it's still damn good.

It's a really great song, hopefully we'll see it as an iTunes exclusive/b-side or something... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a really great song, hopefully we'll see it as an iTunes exclusive/b-side or something...Yeah, same. Take Love is really an amazing song, I love the live performances of it. But they said they couldn't make it justice when recording it, so they scrapped it, unfortunately.If I could've wished one more thing of this album, it's that Brian and Roger would've sung lead some more instead of only in Say It's Not True (and Rog in the chorus of C-lebrity)I just love their voices.

Maybe they could officially release a live version as a b-side...I'm sure they must have recorded at least one of the US shows in '06.

DirtyDeeds Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 I don't like Say It's Not True, but I've loved everything else I've heard of new Queen. Man, this is a good year for new albums. Queen and AC/DC! Both with classic-sounding songs. Just what I like and just what I want! Fuck no, I WILL NOT get with the times! I'm stuck in the 70s and 80s musically and I love it!

Demon Wolf Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 The more I hear the new album, the more I dig it. It's definately a grower.Surf's Up School's Out is a killer track. It's a rocker, with a great atmosphere. The piano chords in the intro with guitar harmonics on top are just beautiful, best thing I've heard in a long time.And the production. I've said it before and I say it again, what a joy for the ears. It's mixed perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demon Wolf Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 I like this album better than a lot of old Queen It's been torn apart by critics and die-hard Queen-fans.I just wish they'd be more open-minded. Of course it won't sound like Queen. Because it's part of Queen collaborating with Paul Rodgers, of course it is going to sound different.Just take a step back and enjoy the music for what it is, and I'm sure they would like it alot more.What's your favourite song on the album, by the way?
