I think music in itself is healing. It's an explosive expression of humanity. It's something we are all touched by. No matter what culture we're from, everyone loves music

The greatest British band of all time. Not me, BBC. The first two albums made them notable in the U.K., but it was this third release when the U.S. audience climbed aboard, including myself. Of course the follow up Night At The Opera was when they smashed the doors down. From here my fav of Killer Queen was a big hit on both sided of the Atlantic with the album reaching #12 in the U.S. The only thing I don't like on here is the leadoff of Brighton Rock which always sounded like the vocals were recorded at the wrong speed to me and I guess that's because Freddie takes on a female voice. That just grated on me. But when Killer Queen kicked in, I was hooked. We get to here a rare Roger Taylor vocal on Tenement Funster. I love the two ballad tracks where Freddie mellows out, except they are too short.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Brighton Rock

Best Track - Killer Queen

She keeps Moet et Chandon
In a pretty cabinet
'Let them eat cake' she says
Just like Marie Antoinette
A built-in remedy
For Khrushchev and Kennedy
At anytime an invitation
You can't decline
Caviar and cigarettes
Well versed in etiquette
Extraordinarily nice
She's a Killer Queen
Gunpowder, Gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime
Recommended at the price
Insatiable an appetite
Wanna try?
To avoid complications
She never kept the same address
In conversation
She spoke just like a baroness
Met a man from China
Went down to Asia Minor
Then again incidentally
If you're that way inclined
Perfume came naturally from Paris
for cars she couldn't care less
Fastidious and precise
She's a Killer Queen
Gunpowder, Gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime
Drop of a hat she's as willing as
Playful as a pussy cat
Then momentarily out of action
Temporarily out of gas
To absolutely drive you wild, wild
She's out to get you
She's a Killer Queen
Gunpowder, Gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime
Recommended at the price
Insatiable in appetite
Wanna try?
You wanna try.

Good stuff.

Many songs on this one show their metallic/hard-rock side, which has been kind of overshadowed by their anthemic/pop material.

The groups most commercially successful album and a double to boot. For this sixth album it took four weeks to write and two months to record. Those were the days. I do not think it is their best work by far, but it is good. Reaching #4 in both the U.S. and the U.K. and spawning 4 singles of Turn To Stone, Sweet Talkin' Woman, Mr. Blue Sky and It's Over. All 4 went top 20 in the U.K. with only the first two reaching that status in the U.S., Turn to Stone charting the highest at #13. Jeff Lynne considers this album their best work along with A New World Record.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - The Whale

Best Track - Jungle

I was standing in the jungle, I was feeling alright
Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm
I was wondering in the darkness, in the middle of the night
Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm
The moon began to shine, I saw a clearing ahead
Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm
But what's that going on, I think I'm outta my head
Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm.

CHORUS:
Chooka chooka hoo la ley
Looka looka koo la ley.

A hundred animals were gathered 'round in the night
Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm
And they were singing out a lovely song under the pale moonlight
Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm
I stood and stared for quite a while
Then a lion sang to me and smiled:
"Come join us if you so desire."

REPEAT CHORUS

I said now please explain the meaning of this song you sing
Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm
"Wondrous is our great blue ship
That sails around the might sun
And joy to everyone that rides along!"

REPEAT CHORUS

AND THEY DANCED!!!

Pretty soon I knew the tune and
We sat and sang under the moon
And the jungle rang in joyful harmony.

REPEAT CHORUS

REPEAT CHORUS

"Wondrous is our great blue ship
That sails around the might sun
And joy to everyone that rides along!"

I've been listening to a ton of Billy Idol and Blondie these days. Something about the alphabetical setting on my ipod. But I'm loving it.
