Does John Deacon perform on this album? Or do Bryan, Rodger and Paul Rogers take control of bass duties?

Apparently not, it seems. No-one's confirmed or denied it, but Wegotit hasn't said that it was even based on Take Love (and I'm assuming he's familiar with TL), so I guess the answer is no.

At the listening party at EMI for fans yesterday somebody apparently asked about Take Love. They were told that the band never finished recording it because they were not happy with out how it sounded in the studio.

I agree. This is not the case of someone lightly stepping in Freddie Mercury's (winged) shoes - this is really a joint-venture effort. The end result is a lenghty album (total timing: 58:47) that will appeal to, and even take by surprise, most music critics. Home listeners, however, will have mixed feelings about it. 01. Cosmos Rockin' (4:13) The album starts with a 'One Vision'-like spacey intro. Then, a familiar guitar riff brings a typical rock 'n' roll - with the classic QUEEN treatment. Brian May fans will recognize his trademarks all through the song. 02. Time To Shine (4:21) Up-tempo ballad showcasing Paul's vocal skills. 03. Still Burnin' (4:03) 'Tear It Up' 2008. Guitars, drums and choruses, and even bass and accompanying piano, in typical QUEEN style - auto-sampling included. They will rock you! 04. Small (4:39) Folk ballad. Starts as its title suggests, just acoustic guitar and vocals, and then grows thicker adding drums and a U2-like nice syntheziser background. 05. Warboys (3:17) A bombastic (no pun intended) QUEEN treatment to this Paul Rodgers solo song. Results are reminiscent of 'The Hitman'. 06. We Believe (6:09) Typical power ballad. Nothing that has not been heard before, but very nicely done. 07. Call Me (2:59) QUEEN + Paul Rodgers go country! The song has a nice harmonized guitar solo - Deacy amp sound and everything. 08. Voodoo (4:27) Bluesy jam in the Eric Clapton vein... 09. Some Things That Glitter (4:03) 'Butterfly' (remember Brian's piano number from THE MAGIC YEARS?) revisited! Beautiful ballad. 10. C-lebrity (3:37) The heaviest track in the album, full of Roger Taylor's influences. Same as the single version (but remastered). 11. Through The Night (4:54) Another undoubtely Brian-penned piano ballad. It could be in THE MIRACLE. Tasteful. 12. Say It's Not True (3:59) QUEEN + PR's take on Roger's original song. And too hard they try! Same as the single version (but remastered). 13. Surf's Up ... School's Out! (5:51) 'Headlong' meets 'No More Fun' - strange as it sounds, it does work! 14. Small - reprise (2:15) A perfect way to end the album in an emotional tone.
