Review

This was the first of Queens studio albums which I ever purchased back in 1992, and it lead me to go on and buy the rest, so it must have been good.

This is Queen's 1973 debut album and is probably one of their their most underrated album of that decade. At this stage, Queen had signed a deal with Trident and they had many musical ideas which they were trying out on the album. The ' Queen I ' album was recorded during studio off time, when the studio was not being used by more well-founded artists. Also, this was Freddies first opportunity to avail of a full size piano. Already in this album you can hear Brian May's orchestrated guitar harmonies, the multi-tracked vocal harmonies, imaginative lyrics and musical dynamics which could change from heavy rock to a piano ballad in seconds.

Most tracks on the album probably not as well known as the band's later material, the album is a very good listen from beginning to end - the most well known track on the album is probably "Keep Yourself Alive" which featured on some singles and foreign compilations.

Some quotes from the eara when Queen was released :

"Far above-average rock set from British band, featuring powerful lead vocals from Freddie Mercury and superb guitar work, acoustic and electric, from Brian May." - Billboard 1973

Review Rating : 8

Did You Know .... "The Night Comes Down" is taken from a 1971 demo tape recorded at De Lane Lea studios.
