This album, in my view, is by far the best album Queen have done, once again only one hit from Greatest Hits. However do not let this put you off. This album oozes class in every area, it is Queen at there very best, a heavy rock album.
Queen have produced over 20 albums, and through time have adapted their style of music, from heavy rock in the 70's, to disco in the 80's, such as in Hot Space, and finally into pop in the late 80's.
The album starts off with "Procession," an introduction track to "Father To Son." One noticeable feature with Queen's earlier albums is that the songs blend into each other. If you like rock or think you prefer the earlier Queen, or even if you like 70's music this album is a must.
Best songs include "March Of The Black Queen", "Father To Son" and "Ogre Battle." The reason I think this album is so good is because every song is enjoyable to listen too, you don't sit there with the remote in your hand fast-forwarding to the next track.
Other great songs include "White Queen", possibly one of the most under-rated songs Queen have ever produced, and "The Loser In The End" is fun to listen to. I would give this album 10 out of 10, you just can't fault it!
