A Tune Too Average And Cliche
When we think of Queen, we remember those amazing lyrics, hard rock and powerful guitar from the 70’s. I did not realize that they continued to make music up until 2008, which is pretty amazing for starting in the 1970’s. I went through this album knowing that it would be different, without Freddie there it obviously wouldn’t be the same. And we see the amount that one person really impacts a group. The song is, to be frank, generic. The guitar is good and has some nice sound, the drums are normal, and the singer does alright, but nothing is new compared to what we have heard in the past 30 years. Yes, they have talent, but the creative juices seem to be gone, and it is hard not to compare it to their glorious albums of the past. But I think the hardest thing to listen to is the generic and outright boring lyrics. I know that they are changing over the years, and they have to try and adapt to a new age, but it is disappointing to listen to this album after A Night At The Opera. Paul Roger’s does good, like he always does, but it really is not impressive or innovative. All in all, if you love this album, great, but I would recommend to not even bother with it and go back and listen to anything by Queen before 1990.
