NEWS OF THE WORLD

1 'We Will Rock You' remember it was cold, they were alone in the snow and they were stomping hard... to warm up, yes before the solo which suddenly tumbles out that was the QUEEN that many listened on a new moon night, clinging to their post, timeless solo even for the grumpy! 2 'We Are The Champions' attack! direct, the clip recorded for a handful of lucky guys, the title that completely des-notes with we will, but chance of the calendar or not, we will see it in stadiums later and not only for their shows; 2 titles, 2 hits fold up the tent, there's no better way to start an album; the title which shows the creation of their various previous albums and the melting pot operated on it 3 'Sheer Heart Attack' for those who didn't know, a bit of QUEEN, yes that was it above all; a crazy space between bombastic glam, low-level hard rock and riff power; I love the 'inar inar inar' that's how it is, I love the speed, this good-natured side like 'Flash' like I could see them doing a BOF on it!; in short, we're in hyperspace, a drum roll on the snare drum and we're off again; 15 mins of music condensed into 3 mins, have you heard the QUEEN effect? 4 'All Dead, All Dead' is also the QUEEN spirit, a banal piano ballad that takes you by the throat, which sends you very far from what you have been able to listen to before; the Impulse effect, I who have little hair, I'm fed up, in short, remember Brian's orgasmic rise with his legendary 'made at home' guitar, the slap even if you're all dead! 5 'Spread Your Wings' 4'35'' for the longest piece of this side A, a title apart that must be tamed; I didn't like it, that's how it was, too easy to record, I liked it better many years later when I saw the clip shot in the same place as we will, 6 'Fight From The Inside' and the return to the heavy dirty title, don't forget that QUEEN was decried everywhere, among the hardos too because... they weren't real hardos; at home the LP sat in front of my LP storage just to indicate the color; and my father, brave among the brave hearing these vulgar cries which threw me 'ah that squeaks', immense, in short the riff which saw you suddenly, Freddie who becomes nervous and this rhythm which was also rocking, come on I get up and flip the disc. 7 'Get Down, Make Love' therefore begins on the other side and the anachronistic title, but there is only that in it; out of tune, sound effects, bass that will go further into disco rock later, Japanese riff, drums that attack you; like an orgasm from Freddy, 3 piano notes here and this heady chorus from entêtemps; shh the break 'Flash' is coming, it's spoiled, before time, I'll leave you; no synths marked on it? 8 'Sleeping On The Sidewalk' for the second track which I didn't like; the voice, obviously it's not him, the air, the too predictable rhythm I kick into touch; and don't tell me there's a ZZ TOP bluesy thing in it, in short it looks like they had a good time 9 'Who Needs You' for stereophonic pleasure and the memory of my sapphire screwed up for a while and therefore not this musical quality, not my ears filled with this divine nectar, of the voice well on the right; for the trouble with a new sapphire I ate the whole disk all day, just like that; soft track with fruity spleen, a Harlequin candy that melts in your mouth and this dry guitar that runs down my ears like human wax, honey, jelly. 10 'It's Late' that's why I said from the start that it's prog!, see the length of the track, see the intro, see the evolution, the nervous title that chills all the critics, a minimalist crescendo which gives pride of place to the brutality of the queen who could show her claws, good for the faithful... the brutality of the robot but what was it called, who stuffs your head to agree to move on it; it starts on Brian's twisted solo, on his putting into orbit, on the improvised crazy break where everything seems to be unable to stop; phew Roger with his roll manages to hang up everything before launching into this final boosted boogie. Little fun note, look who is under the hand of the robot and who should have been kneaded instead of governing later, if you recognize! 11 'My Melancholy Blues' for the finale and the cabaret title, the sensual tune that would make you want to see Freddie as a maid, a melancholy title no no I hadn't read the title before, the title that brings the album back in the musical concept, a work of art from the start and not only when Freddie left in 91!
