Queen - Queen II
Hello everyone, welcome back to my blog. How are you all doing? Today, I will be reviewing Queen's second album, the ingeniously titled, Queen II. I don't really have anything else to say, so... let's just crack on.
Starting off the album, we have Procession, which is just a short guitar solo. Pretty neat.
Then the fun really starts with Father To Son. It features a powerful guitar driven melody, with pounding drums, mixed with Freddie's vocals, give off an almost monumental feel, as if this the point in the adventure where really gets on to it.
The majority of White Queen was a more vocal driven song, with some guitar sprinkled in. And then, the last minute is a more rock song. This song didn't really leave an impression on me though.
Some Day One Day started off quiet, with mostly just hi-hats mixed with some vocals. Slowly, the guitar brought in, however it didn't stay for long, as the song was coming to a close.
The Loser In The End was a slow rock song. Nothing particularly special, yet I still liked it.
Ogre Battle was much more energetic song. Once again, nothing special, and that's what made it great.
The Fairy Feller's Master-Stroke was a short track, however, I found it quite forgetable.
Nevermore was another short song, only this time, mainly piano driven. This one was a bit nicer.
The March of The Black Queen was a six-minute long epic, filled with guitar riffs, powerful drums and incredible vocals. This song was great.
Moving on, we have a rather repetitive song, Funny How Love Is was, in my opinion, unenjoyable. I'm not sure what made me think that, but I simply didn't really like it that much.
And finally, Seven Seas Of Rhye was another short track, only this time, it was much more fun.
Overall, this album is considerably better than Queen's first album, thanks to the much more energetic songs and even more epic guitar riffs.
