QUEEN II

No doubt, (for me), the masterwork of Queen's recording career. While I enjoyed their debut, QUEEN II, has no weak spots and flows seamlessly from one song to the next. It contains some of the most powerful songs in Queen's canon. "March of the Black Queen" and "Ogre Battle" are perfect. The latter tune is my all-time favorite Queen song with ripping guitar, great screaming, wondeful fantasy lyrics, and it segues nicely into "The Fairy Feller"s Master- Stroke". The difference between the "light" side of Queen and the "dark" side is finely demonstrated here. This album is my first recomendation to anyone wanting to hear what Queen was before their "euro disco-pop" leaning that came in later years. 5 stars!
