canadianice Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Chicago 2 Steven Wilson remix--------------------> Outstanding. Glad Steven Wilson knows more than just the established prog rock staples deserve consideration. I believe it is his mission to re-mix every album, ever recorded. lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Queen A Night At The Opera 1. Death On Two Legs (Dedicated To) I actually enjoyed this! More metal than I anticipated and there is a vicious sound to the vocals. Has aged really well! 8/10 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 2. Lazy On A Sunday Afternoon Sounds like a Sgt. Pepper song...twee...camp...beautiful production...short... 7/10 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 (edited) 3. I'm In Love With My Car Strange song. I quite enjoyed it and the vocals are raw and the guitarwork is outstanding. Beautiful production again and I really like the ambient backing vocals, almost choir like. Reminds me of Thunder Road if it had been written by a metal band. I...really...love...the...production... 8/10 verging on 9 Edited May 23, 2018 by Segue Myles 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 (edited) 4. You're My Best Friend This is such a seventies sounding song...reminds me of glam rock bands (normally something I dislike...). It actually reminds me of something off ABBA's self titled album from 1975. I like it...its lyrically really uninteresting to my ears. Sounds like filler. I do not dislike it though. I'm also starting to like the vocals. 6/10 Edited May 23, 2018 by Segue Myles 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 (edited) 5. 39 I thought this was beautiful and the folkish sound with that hint of rock reminds me both of The Beatles (Rubber Soul era) and Nightwish (The Islander). I actually really could listen to an entire album in this style. 10/10 Edited May 23, 2018 by Segue Myles 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 6. Sweet Lady Oh I love the sound of that intro! And...and...I love the vocals... This is beautifully produced. I can hear what put me off years ago but today I am in the mood for this. Wow some really strange arrangements on this! What a gorgeous song...this albums production is almost as gorgeous as Springsteen's Born To Run! Loving the vocals...I swear I hear a lot of The Beatles influence on this album, especially Sgt. Pepper. Maybe I ought to revisit that album as well. Well so far I am enjoying this album. Sweet Lady and 39 are my favourite songs so far. 9/10 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Sweet Lady is actually a 10/10. Hasn't aged a day (well...maybe the vocal stylings...anyive recordings of this track?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 7. Seaside Rendezvous Well this is a really cheesy song. Sounds like something from the 1920's. Not sure I like this sort of thing...its once again reminding me of the sillier tracks from Sgt. Pepper or the Yellow Submarine soundtrack...not...sure...this...is...for...me... Stunning production and I really like the way the track is arranged. Just not my style...or humour... 4/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 8. The Prophet's Song Oh. My. Fukcing. God. This is bloody amazing... Yeah my favourite symphonic bands obviously like Queen... 10/10 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 The Prophets Song is amazing...playing it again... Wow now see every now and then a band I generally dislike can surprise me! Wow...wow... Erm...it does sound like Styx though and the Styx albums I am thinking of May actually be older... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 The Prophet's Song is one of a kind. Seriously I wish the album had less of the frilly jokey folk songs and more of this mental operatic prog/metal/pop sound. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Well I would honestly love to hear a band like Symphony X cover that song... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 AND now i know that you can hear me. this song kills Bo Rhap, IMO. Mick I'm holding out...wondering if I might actually do a 180° on that song. But I cannot believe The Prophet's Song is not a major classic rock staple. Is it long? Yes but its bloody fantastic! I'm really not convinced this album is going to ever be a full blown classic to me but the two 10s I have given were stunning. I can happily see myself playing more Queen. The harmonies...not quite up there with ABBA or The Beatles for me but The Prophet's Song is an exception. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not paying attention I actually like this bouncy little number...Octopuses Garden vibes...I love that song. Odd. 7/10 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
