[CRAZY-HORSE]

QUEEN "queen" cd, 1973

career stats:
studio albums........15
singles..................72

this album...............324 UK...#77 AU...#83 US
singles:
"keep yourself alive"....no chart action
"liar".........................no chart action

debut set.....
it failed to chart in the UK until after the success of their third album "news of the world"....
very little of the Queen sound we all know and love on this one...
closer to the heavy metal sounds of the time with a couple of ballads thrown in the mix...
like I said, little of their sounds, May's unique guitar sound is only heard in a few little places...
their catchy hooks are few and fair between and Mercury's vocals are more restrained than we
have come to know and respect...
cant stand half this album and the other half barely makes the grade for me...
but it shows just how quickly they developed their sound after this one with albums two and three
coming out in the following year and as we know "news of the world" contained "we are the champions"
and "we will rock you" and the rest is history...

I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM

worst track: modern times rock and roll
best track: keep yourself alive
