1967/ 1976
4 stars A Queen tribute. Only a Queen tribute by great and exceptional musicians. Stop!

Pro and cons:

1) Great musicians are involved: Royal Philarmonic Orchestra, Pino Palladino, Great mpire (Peter Wheile, Ken Taylor, Herrman Weindorfand Curt Cress) and a choir formed by Bimey Oberreit, Peter Risavy and Bertl Gebhard.

2) The production and mixing are perfect (the perfection exist)

3) The cover (a photo of Stonehenge) is good (also for a Queen tribute... The music of Queen was Prog but also Rock, Heavy Metal, Classic Music... I would say: unclassifiable!).

4) I listen to various Queen tribute bands and in this case this is a personal vision of Queen music that is only view of this project.

5) A poor booklet in my edition.

The final consideration: If you love Queen buy (used, of course) this album. If you hate Queen buy (used, of course) this album. But you do not wait a Queen music because here are present only a new way for Queen music.

1967/ 1976 | 4/5 |
