A Night At The Opera Review by Josh Turner I had to scratch the dust off this album. The last time I heard it, I can't say I appreciated music as much as I do today.

This 1978 release from Queen, still has a very classic sound, but they were experimenting with some new directions. It had several hits, and also quite a bit of meaty music.
Queen has gone through a number of musical changes, but their earlier material was definitely prog influenced. They never shied away from experimenting which created a sound that was uniquely their own.
I love Queen. I wasn’t crazy about some of the music they did later in their career when they seemed to focus more on pop ditties than rock music, but overall, they were always a very talented band.
You can say what you like about Queen, and I'll personally admit that their earlier music speaks to me more than the later stuff does, but you can't deny that they were always one of the greatest live bands out there.
Queen - Rock Montreal DVD Review by Gary Hill Originally released as We Will Rock You, this has been reissued as Rock Montreal. The truth is, the name doesn’t matter, this is a great DVD.
When it comes to classic albums of the 1970's it seems that Queen's A Night At The Opera should be on most people's short list. Therefore it seems very appropriate that Eagle Vision created this DVD documenting the making of the album. This is a pretty impressive set just packed with stuff.
Iommi - Iommi Review by Gary Hill This solo release by Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi has quite a bit in common with last year’s Supernatural release by Santana. In both cases you have a guitar legend, who is an almost undisputed originator of his musical genre.

Carmine Appice - Ultimate Guitar Zeus Review by Gary Hill An album like this could be a tricky venture. Essentially the concept is a series of songs with the same basic core band.
