Album Notes Queen: John Deacon, Brian May, Freddie Mercury, Roger Taylor.Producers: Queen, David Richards, Roy Thomas Baker, Mack, John Anthony.Engineers include: Mike Stone, David Richards, Justin Shirley-Smith.Although Queen's GREATEST HITS and CLASSIC QUEEN compilations did an excellent job of collecting all of the band's most familiar hits, many key album tracks were left out due to time restrictions. The problem has finally been resolved with QUEEN ROCKS. Although there is some overlap with the two aforementioned albums. this serves as a good introduction for newcomers, and longtime fans will notice a pair of tracks that are unavailable anywhere else--a "1997 Rocks Retake" of 1991's "I Can't Live With You" and a brand new composition by the three remaining Queen members, "No-One But You (Only The Good Die Young)."QUEEN ROCKS is not comprised completely of obscurities, however. Chances are even casual fans are already familiar with "We Will Rock You," "Keep Yourself Alive," and "Fat Bottomed Girls." But overlooked tracks far outnumber the hits, which isn't a bad thing at all. A couple of politically-charged anthems--the anti-nuclear arms "Hammer To Fall" and the anti-gun "Put Out The Fire"--are highlights. So is Queen's answer to punk rock ("Sheer Heart Attack"), and a track which Metallica has covered ("Stone Cold Crazy"). QUEEN ROCKS proves definitively that this legendary band could rock with the best of them. | |||||||||||

Report this review Review created: 05/03/08(updated 12/03/08) by: Awesome!!!! Queen wrote so many different styles of music, that people forgot that they were a heavy rock band! This album lets you hear Queen in all their Rockin glory! The only down side is that it should have been a double disc! that way we could have had¬ Brighton rock, White man, Gimme the prize, The Hitman, Liar, Ogre battle, Death on two legs, Modern times rock and roll, Was it all worth it, Dead on time, Princes of the universe, Machines, The hero, Son and daughter, Ride the wild wind, Sweet lady, Rock it prime jive, Show must go on, just name one band who could beat that!!!

He owned the album before but after several years of heavy use it became scratched and wouldn't play. Try as he may he could not find the album in any shop but found it easily on ebay at a bargain price. It took a while to arrive which he found frustrating but the best things are worth waiting for and now he's happily reunited with 'Queen Rocks'. Review ID: 10000000005606399 Was this review helpful?
