The Beginning of the Queen
I find it amazing listening to a band or artist’s first album, their sound and style is so interesting to hear. Some bands change for better while others change for worse, but many don’t truly find themselves until the second and third albums. This song starts with guitar parts that stay strong through the whole song with strong personality. They work great in the solo and work well off the drum solos. The bridges between verses is longer than normal, keeping the sound fresh and powerful. Singing from May and Mercury is great and simple, but work well for the 1973 debut album, but don’t hit the amazing strides that come in later albums (which is pretty normal). The drum solo might be the most interesting part of the song, we don’t hear many of them in songs anymore, which is unfortunate, because they work great. When the album came out, they made sure to emphasis that they didn’t use any synthesizers, but used harmonies and layering of various effects on their guitars to make sound that brings a unique sound to the song and band. Go back and see what your favorite artists created, and I think you’ll be impressed how they changed, and appreciate the work they have done to become who they are, I can see the natural progression of Queen and am grateful for these awesome beginnings which lead to fantastic pieces.
