Thoughts

For artists with a lot of albums I usually start at the beginning and work my way through their back catalogue. I don’t know why I didn’t do that with Queen… they were in the first ever week of this album adventure, maybe I got over-excited at kicking it all off.

Anyway, this is their debut album and what an amazing body of work to kick off your career with! There aren’t really hte amazing stand out songs that feature later in their career but it’s some really good rock to get you going. I was confused why Seven Seas of Rhye is on there and also on the second album, but this was a shorter instrumental version that obviously went down quite well because it came a fully fledged song by the next album. Mm, what a great journey.
