Dodo's Album Reviews

  Hello everyone, welcome back to my blog. Today, I will be reviewing A Kind Of Magic. This was Queen's last tour promoted album, due to Mr. Freddie Mercury's declining health. Let's see how this album sounds. We open on One Vision, a pretty good rock song, with a lot of synths mixed with classic rock instruments. The vocals were pretty nice too. Not that bad of a start. A Kind Of Magic was an OK song with some nice vocals, but generally, it wasn't that special at all. One Year Of Love was probably Queen's attempt to try make another slow, love song like Las Palabras De Amor from Hot Space . Problem is... it isn't good. Pain Is So Close To Pleasure sounds like the cheesiest 90s pop song that would play on the radio very late at night... and that song is bad. Friends Will Be Friends is extremely cheesy and annoying. Do not want to hear this song again. But... on the other hand... Who Wants To Live Forever... I don't think I need to say anything else. Gimme Th...

  Hello everyone, welcome back to my blog. Today, we are reviewing The Works. After the disaster that was Hot Space, I was hoping for a better up, and return to their original sound. I somewhat found that. We start with Radio Ga Ga. No comment needed. Tear It Up sounded a bit generic, in my opinion. Nothing special, but would have fit very well on their debut . It's A Hard Life was a wonderful ballad. Nothing else to say. Man On The Prowl was a rockabilly, but whilst Crazy Little Thing Called Love was catchy and more fast paced, this one just fades in the background. Machines sounded very weird. That's it. Not even the rock parts were that special. Rather forgettable, honestly. i   w a n t   t o   b r e a k   f r e e . Keep Passing The Open Windows was a pretty nice rock song, but rather generic. No outstanding vocals, no crazy guitar solo, just mediocre stuff. Hammer To Fall was a very nice hard rock song. Not much else to say, just really f...

  Hello everyone, welcome back to my blog. Today we are reviewing what is often considered the worst Queen album, Hot Space. But why? you might say. Well, the band had slowly been diverging more and more from their rock sound, and towards a more pop influenced sound, causing many fans to be very disappointed. I, for one, love synthpop and synthwave, however past Queen songs in this style have been mediocre at best. Let's see how this album holds up. We start with Staying Power, which sounds like your standard 80s synthpop song, thus making it sound generic and forgettable. The horns weren't anything special, and was generally just a mediocre song. Dancer was, once again, super generic and forgettable. Tho it reminds me of The Rick Dance song for some reason. Back Chat, again, generic. It's the same problem here as with most Imagine Dragon records: The songs sound identical! Body Language and Action This Day, whilst not as generic, are mediocre at best. Put Out The Fire give...
