Average Rating:
 Rating: - Get your Queen Fix TodayI came across this and was mildly skeptical about the offering. After all, I already owned a Queen tribute album called "Dragon Attack" which was an unexciting rawk n roll cover album of Queen covers by rock bands. Other reasons for my skeptism: (a) Queen is a hard act to follow, let alone copy; (b) the musical "We Will Rock You" was underwhelming and (c) Tribute albums rarely deliver on their own and are a mixed bag. So I was pleasantly surprised when this was really good. It certainly passes the music test. We didn't have every artist trying to do a note for note (although some artists like Constantine do); and some people were trying to do Queen their way, like Gavin DeGraw who renders a soulful We are the Champions. ...

Buy the album, the songs that are good are worth the price. Rating:  - Only two good songsThe only songs I can stand listening to on this album are Rooney's amazing "Death on Two Legs" and Sum 41's surprisingly good "Killer Queen." Joss Stone's "Under Pressure" makes me sick. Rating:  - Not too shabby!Hardly the best Queen tribute album out there but some songs are worth listening... I might even dare to say that, in some cases, I enjoyed the cover versions more than the originals. Anyway, here's my 2 cents: ONE STAR We are the Champions, Under pressure To me, the worst songs on the album. The whole soulish innuendos didn't do it to me. The chorus on 'Champions' is supposed to be inspiring, a tour de force if you will. Instead we get a poor, sluggish delivery and that just destroyed the whole vibe. As for, under pressure I skip it everytime it comes up; simply annoying. TWO STARS Sleeping on the sidewalk, Stone cold crazy Didn't care too much for both these songs. Although the vibe on 'Sleeping' is ... Read More: Rating: - Pretty decent cover record. I would give 5 stars if no Constantine.Constantine's version of Bohemian Rhapsody is way too "paint-by-numbers" and dare I say weaker than the original. Just like most of the American Idol covers on TV. The Flaming Lips version is not for the faint of heart. The track could be on any of their albums from the mid-eighties to 1995. It's the Lips doing what they always do. Joss Stone's cover of Under Pressure on one hand sounds great. On the other hand, the problem in my opinion is her vocals. She doesn't sing the lyrics with the urgency that Freddie did. She glosses right over the lyrics. |
