4 stars QUEEN 3/3 for the trilogy! 1. Brighton Rock melting funfair tune here we go, yes; go for a riff à la QUEEN, the title known for its choruses, for its guitar wanderings; good there it is posed but it is very dirty like rock, come on the declination of Brian, the one that makes you want to take a guitar and do the same... it's so simple; the speakers take a hit, it feels good; 2. Killer Queen or one of the first titles seen on TV, a tune that turns me on, that's what I'm saying yes we don't have internet and you had to watch the TV program to see who was playing; in short, not easy, for the trouble we already arrive at the guitar solo like 'love is all' before its time; in short, a hit and a souvenir title that haunts me forever 3. Tenement Funster for Zeppelin rock, I talk about it but I never asked myself what their orientations were; good yet another guitar solo that goes to the stars, sublime; the nasty riff that comes back combines with the choirs... I didn't realize there were so many 4. Flick of the Wrist and there the memories have difficulty coming back; the sound is there but the air is tortured, complex I find it difficult, good 'don't look back' it comes back to me the chorus is a catalyst for our memory and reminds us of our memories; it leaves, I feel the future BOF of 'Flash' for this spatial sound and the molding which will give more constructed titles later... here too extravagant, too grandiloquent again 5. Lily of the Valley arrives like this, a marvelous ode on the piano, a bit of 'You take my breath away already, in short a dive into the phantasmagorical universe of this bizarre group! 6. Now I'm Here for the bombastic, glam, explosive and extravagant hard rock title... again... a riff, the cape worn that will be all the rage from the next album, the solo and John's bass which levels well the base; this riff yes I always mix it with that of Brighton Rock, in short hard but there is no prog in there!! 7. In the Lap of the Gods for the title you want to see in a stadium, you take your shoulders to shoulders and you forget the misery, you also sing, the crazy title again, unclassifiable, one of those that will give letters of nobility; yes, not prog but a progressive air with these chorus voices screaming so that the Gods can hear us, bam, boomm! 8. Stone Cold Crazy is coming, hard but harder the sooner you die; it's annoying, it denotes, you have the impression of being on 78T, yes many will not understand, in short if all the titles were of this ilk nothing says that I would still have been connected 9. Dear Friends or the dark and nostalgic anthem-tribute title, just to contradict myself, yes QUEEEN is also that 10. Misfire with John trying his hand at guitar playing, yes, you can hear that; a still unique title that no longer resembles anything else, or how to be disturbed by these crazy people 11. Bring Back That Leroy Brown with banjo and an excursion to New Jersey, to the future 'Seaside Rendezvous' for a crazy track which shows you that QUEEN in 4 pieces throws 4 different sounds at you, in short incredible 12. She Makes Me (Stormtrooper in Stilettoes) ah the monolithic-repetitive-heavy title with an original creation, that of making you believe that QUEEN has become another group; ah no Brian is giving you a warning with his... now legendary guitar, yes the one with his father in his workshop, his only one; good it rings in the speakers yet the sound is well framed, it goes like this until the end and it is not the sirens that will stop it 13. In the Lap of the Gods... Revisited that's all said, or how to come back to it, yes it was a while... outdated; in short, the choir is longer, it remains even after the end of the instruments... an end of the trilogy begun bringing the future classics... the explosion was also fashionable!
