G Yi

The first album that truly showcases Queen's versatility. Each member of the band shines in flashes and in unison throughout the roller coaster ride that is the album's progression. Leroy Brown captures the harmonies that the band is so well-known for, Stone Cold Crazy is a heart-pumping thrasher with a sense of humor, Dear Friends is an intimate lullaby, and Lap of the Gods...Revisited is a stadium rocker for the ages. Between those songs are the glorious howls of Roger Taylor, the rock-solid bass playing of John Deacon, and the simultaneous angelic and demonic speech of Brian May's guitar. Give this album a listen from start to finish and go back to a time where this was music.
