Queen - A Day At The Races

Image
Hello everyone, welcome back to my blog. Today, I will be reviewing the follow up to A Night At The Opera , A Day At The Races. Let's get straight into this album. We start with the epic Tie Your Mother Down. What can I say? Killer guitar, powerful beat, amazing vocals, this is an amazing start to the album! In contrast, You Take My Breath Away is a soothing piano melody, with a few vocal harmonies sprinkled in for a great track. Long Away was a nice slow track, which for some reason reminded me of Wham's Last Christmas. It was another great song, none theless. The Millionaire Waltz, as the title implies, was a waltz style song, which started with mainly a piano, and Freddie's delicate vocal performance. Towards the end, they brought in a guitar and drums to give a touch of rock to this song. You And I was a nice, simple rock song, much shorter compared to other tracks on this album, but still a great song. somebody to love. need i say more? White Man was an epic rock song,...

Queen - Sheer Heart Attack

Hello everyone, welcome back to my blog. Today, I will be reviewing Queen's third album, Sheer Heart Attack. Their previous album, Queen II  was a great step-up from their first album , in my opinion. So will this growth continue with this album? Absolutely! The first song on this album is none other than the legendary, Brighton Rock. This song starts with some playful vocals from Freddie, with a tension filled guitar in the background building up to something. And that something is the legendary 3 minute guitar solo, that Brian May absolutely killed. Next we have the calmer Killer Queen, but this song is still an absolute bop. The guitar on this song is stellar and the vocal performance Freddie puts on this song is just great. Tenement Funster was pretty mediocre. First of all, I didn't feature any Freddie, and neither was the guitar anything special. Wasn't very memorable. Moving on, we have the epic Flick of The Wrist. With a super catchy melody, great hook and epic guit...

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. No...
