ALBUM REVIEW: A Day at the Races by Queen

because who else would suggest Queen

A Day at the Races is the fifth studio album from British rock band Queen. The only song that I recognised from this album was "Somebody To Love", so a lot of the album was me going in blind, which is very strange for an artist I know quite a lot from. Overall, it's a pretty good rock album and I'd assume great for its time, the instrumentation is lovely and Freddie Mercury has a golden voice. The only thing that pulls me away from this album is that it isn't that exciting. Everything feels a bit familiar and I want a bit more spark and diversity. Either way, it's a pretty good album regardless.

ALBUM REVIEW: Sheer Heart Attack by Queen

because who else would suggest queen here?

Sheer Heart Attack is the third studio album from British rock band Queen, released in 1974. The only track I had heard from this album prior is the international hit "Killer Queen", which is a brilliant song if I dare say so myself. The rest of the album is pretty good and it's a good showing of what rock is. Even though some of the songs didn't really interest me that much, all in all, I enjoyed it.

ALBUM REVIEW: A Night At The Opera by Queen

ah, bohemian rhapsody... mwah

A Night At The Opera was the fourth studio album by legendary rock band Queen, released in 1975. To say this sounded like a very experimental album is an understatement. At first, I thought that Bohemian Rhapsody was going to be the only stand out of this album, but I was proven wrong. With the variety of instruments and genres, Queen had spent so much money on producing this album, being the most expensive album to produce at the time. For personal opinion, the album starts and ends really well. "Death On Two Legs" had me surprised as I didn't expect much from the undercard of a Queen album, and even though the album ends with a minute long guitar cover of "God Save The Queen", the prior song is the legendary "Bohemian Rhapsody". There were some songs in the album that didn't really take my fancy, sometimes sounding a bit too odd, but songs like "You're My Best Friend", "'39" and "Sweet Lady" make this album for me. Overall, this album was an experimental album done right: great songs and no confusing decisions.
