QUEEN

A great start for a great band. Still has all the power and freshness after 40 years. WHile not quite as good as QUEEN II, it is still miles above NEWS OF THE WORLD or HOT SPACE. Favorite songs here include "Keep Yourself ALive", "Great King Rat", "Jesus", and "Liar". All classic Queen. Soaring vocals and guitars, pounding bass and drums....and of course Freddie Mercury. Sometimes campy, always spot on. The unreleased song at the end "Mad the Swine", adds really nothing to the total package and should have been left off the disc originally, as it was. An easy 4 stars. I save 5 stars for the next release.
