Queen
News of the World (vinyl)
Review by Gary Hill
I've mentioned it in previous reviews, Queen is an unusual band in that their sound was all over the place. Largely, I land them under progressive rock because their first few albums definitely fit there. Even then, though, they had all kinds of things on them. This 1977 release features the well-known hits "We Will Rock You" and "We Are The Champions." Beyond those we get quite a hodge-podge of styles, but everything here is strong in its own way.
This review is available in book (paperback and hardcover) form in Music Street Journal: 2022 Volume 5. More information and purchase links can be found at: garyhillauthor.com/Music-Street-Journal-2022.
