Album Notes Queen: Freddie Mercury (vocals, piano); Brian May (guitar, piano, background vocals); John Deacon (bass); Roger Taylor (drums, background vocals). Producers: John Anthony, Roy Baker, Queen.Engineers include: Roy Baker, Mike Stone, Ted Sharpe.Principally recorded at Trident Studios, London, EnglandQueen's 1973 debut is definitely their most underrated album of that decade. Although most tracks aren't as well known as the band's later material, QUEEN proves to be an impressively consistent listen from beginning to end. It's extraordinary how many of the group's future musical trademarks were already detectable in their debut--Brian May's orchestrated guitar harmonies, multi-tracked vocal "choirs," imaginative songwriting and dynamics that could switch from head-banging heavy metal to reflective balladry in the blink of an eye.Although QUEEN was recorded off and on over a three-year period, the tracks still manage to be focused and unified. The rocker "Liar" contains a middle section that foreshadows Queen's future hits (1975's "Bohemian Rhapsody," 1976's "Somebody To Love," etc.) while "The Night Comes Down" and "Doing All Right" are a pair of gorgeous ballads. But make no mistake, the majority of QUEEN is raucous hard rock; see "Great King Rat" and the grand Zeppelin groove of "Son & Daughter." Also included as a CD bonus track is the forgotten composition "Mad The Swine," and an instrumental version of their future hit "Seven Seas Of Rhye." | |||||||||||||

Report this review Reviews  It was all downhill after this.At the risk of annoying Queen fans the world over, it really never was this good again. I first discovered this neglected gem at the age of 14 when I heard 'Keep Yourself Alive' on Alan 'Fluff' Freeman's Saturday afternoon radio show. From this song right through to the instrumental embryo of 'Seven Seas Of Rye', it's a melodic pomp rock teat. Highly recommended. Review ID: 10000000007528306 Was this review helpful?

Report this review Quen I CDI decided to buy the Queen I CD as it was one of the first albums that I bought on vinyl, and I have always felt that the stuff Queen done in the early days was their best stuff. The CD I received was in tip top condition. When I received this CD it made me realise how long ago it was that I bought this album in vinyl and this made me feel old.

It is difficult to judge the style of this album - the first one from Queen. It was released in 1973 after a few years recording it in studio 'downtime'. The sound is very 70s Glam Rock and is not for the hardcore rock fans. It does, on the other hand, capture the range of Queen and the vocal capacities of Freddie Mercury. It doesn't contain any major hits and therefore, from a neutral point of view, do not expect anything familiar. Worth buying if you are into the style.
