1001 Albums Summary

This Queen record is very underrated. When talking about Queen albums, many focus on Sheer Heart Attack or A Day At The Races (my personal favourite) but this album very much has a place with those albums. The front cover is very iconic. The production is very nice and very early Queen - this Is thier 2nd album, so obviously it feels like it. None of these songs are very iconic (apart from Seven Seas Of Rhye), which is probably the reason it's heavily underrated. Each of these songs though, are amazing. Some of the Storytelling is really well done. This 1974 album doesn't really feel that dated. The songs that stand out are: Ogre Battle, Seven Seas Of Rhye, Father To Son and The March Of The Black Queen. Very fun album. I would definitely reccomend. 🌕🌕🌕🌙/🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕 (3.5/5)

Lemmy displays some great rock vocals on this album. Before this, I would never have likely listened to this album or this band. Metal isn't a genre I know very well. The closest I've come to this genre is GNR's Appetite For Destruction or Black Sabbath's Master Of Reality. This genre isn't how many think it would be. The electric guitars sound very good. All the members sound very good at what they do. Lyrically, the album isn't too intricate. It's not got the lyrical ability of Freewheelin Bob Dylan or Illmatic or Bringing It All Back Home, but it's good enough. This is a better album than many classic albums (Never Mind The Bollocks, In Utero, Nevermind) which is a plus. The songs that stand out to me are: Ace Of Spades, (We Are) The Road Crew, Fire Fire and The Hammer. Overall a very good album. A very cohesive album. Would reccomend. 🌕🌕🌕🌕/🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕
