Dodo's Album Reviews

Jeez, that was quite the post wasn't it, Dark Side is such an amazing album. Anyway, welcome back to my blog. Today, we are going to be reviewing Jazz. We start the album with Mustapha. The song's lyrics are actually just Arab-Persian gibberish. The song starts quiet, but suddenly erupts in volume and brings in the classic Brian May guitar. A pretty good start to the album. Fat Bottomed Girls. Need I say more? Jealousy was a slow song, which somehow sounds just like the emotion, in my opinion at least. I WANT TO RIDE MY BICYCLE If You Can't Beat Them is your standard Queen style hard rock song. That's it. Let Me Entertain You was OK. The vocals were OK, and the guitar performance was great, but it didn't really impress me. Dead On Time sounded just like Brighton Rock, and given how much I love that song, it's only right that this song is just as good. The guitar on this song is just so yes , and I don't mean that as in the band. It just sounded great! In Onl...

  Greetings everyone, welcome back to my blog. Today, I will be reviewing what is often considered the best Queen album, A Night At The Opera. Let's see if that's so... The first song on the record is the incredible Death On Two Legs. This track has some astonishing vocal performances. Also I love how Freddie talks about how you can "kiss his ass goodbye". I just love that. And the guitar on this song is legendary. An absolutely amazing start to this album. Then we switch to a short piano driven song, Lazing On A Sunday Afternoon is a nice, fun track. Next we have the infamous I'm In Love With My Car, where Roger Taylor, the drummer of Queen, describes his then car is great detail and sings about how much he loves it. A bit too much actually... Moving on we have a much more laid-back song, that being You're My Best Friend. It's just another simple, but nice track, similiar to  Lazing On A Sunday Afternoon. '39 was a mediocre track in my opinion. The co...

 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...

 Welcome back everyone to my blog. Today, I will start reviewing the legendary discography of Queen. No introduction needed here, we all know who Queen is. Let's get straight into their self entitled first album. Starting off, we have Keep Yourself Alive, a decent rock 'n' roll sounding song. The guitar was great, but the drums felt very empty, and was one of the main reasons this track isn't so good. Doing Alright started off with a calm melody, reminiscent of Pink Floyd 's later work, more abstract in nature. However, around the 2 minute mark, the track suddenly shifts to another rock 'n' roll-esc song, and then back to a calm section. This song, while a bit odd in nature, was a great song actually. Moving on, we have Great King Rat, with a highly energetic feel to it, Brian May's guitar work, being absolutely stunning on this track. My man just goes bonkers. Then, around the middle of the track, it switches to a calmer section, then back to a high ene...

  Hello everybody! Welcome back to my blog. Today, I will be talking about one of AC/DC's most beloved albums, Back in Black. This was suggested by a classmate of mine, and said why not, since I already loved AC/DC's music, why not listen to this. Right of the bat, Hells Bells, was an amazing start to the album. Even though it had a slower beat, it was still amazing. Shoot to Thrill was another great song and the drum oriented part around the middle of the song was a pleasant surprise. What Do You Do For Money Honey and Giving The Dog a Bone were pretty similiar, but still amazing. Loved the guitar work in both of them! Let Me Put My Love Into You was a bit slower, but still had a nice head-bopping beat and the guitar riff around the end, was just amazing. Back in Black was definitely my favourite song, because of it's epic drums and guitar riffs. Straight up epicness! You Shook Me All Night Long and Have a Drink on Me were another pair of great songs, the main attra...
