Any problem ? |
| Queenfan1995 20.07.2009 10:30 |
i mean this is Queen's best album it is very dark and complicatet the songs are power full freddies vocal performas is very good but it was getting better at the who come out later Brians guitar work is very good songs like white Queen and ogre battle is very good examples the drumming is much better than Queen 1 and its maybe the album with the best drumming of Queen the song writing is creative. Brian has emotion texts. Freddie has hard songs and more power full texts. the artwork is Queens most known and is realie show how the album is. the song. Procession is a short instrumental song it has been used as intro on they early conserts. it is writen by brian song character 8'/10 the song is a bit short but is perfect as a intro Father to Son the song starts op wher procisson ends its along power full song writen by brian . song character 10/10 the song is one of Queens best the piano the drumms and the vocals is amazing. White Queen (As It Began) this song is a song brian wrote when he still was on school. song character 10/10 this son is my favorite Queen song the guitar solo is amazing and the piano is the best in Queens history and the vocal is exselent Some Day One Day the song is made by brian and sung by brian song character 8/10 vey good song but not as good as 39. The Loser in the End wrote by roger and sung by roger song characte 6.5/10 this the worst song on the album but the drumms is pretty good Ogre Battle ewrote by freddie song character 10/10 this is a very hard song it has extrem guitar and drumms and vocals The Fairy Feller's Master-Stroke song character 9.5/10 a strange song but very good Nevermore song character 10/10 a short and heart breaking song The March of the Black Queen song character 10/10 a long and amazing track it is seen by many as the best song by Queen Funny How Love Is song character 7.5/10 a very strange song who has the wall of sound tecnich Seven Seas of Rhye song character 10/10 the song was a hit but it is as song you dont get bord of pluss of the album its that the albom is very power full and it has no real hits minus with the album its that not many song was prefomed live a new meaning from me about a record is back in this messange |

Did you mean all these in the first post? Actually, the one is empty:) But the album is great by all means |
| Vali 20.07.2009 11:24 |
I never get tired of listening to the wonderful "Ogre Battle-Fairy Feller's-Nevermore-Black Queen" sequence ... tremendous !! the world needs a new 5.1 mix for this album, Brian (ahem ... and Rog) !!! |
| PauloPanucci 20.07.2009 11:38 |
It's the albun who Queen get famous in UK!!!! I think it's a great album! |
| Queenfan1995 20.07.2009 13:59 |
thanks for the answers i to think that Queen2 should be realsed in 5.1 |
| lalaalalaa 20.07.2009 20:18 |
Seven Seas of Rhye was probably the first song I fell in love with. I heard Bo Rhap, WWRY, WATC, and stuff like that, but SSOR put me over the top for some odd reason. |
| princetom 21.07.2009 05:28 |
i really l o v e the treatment of 'White Queen' on the 77-US-tour. The recording of the Seattle gig for me is THE musical highlight of the 70s queen-bootlegs. perfection by any means. and yes... a 5.1 mix was really nice, indeed ! i cannot share the opinion that 'loser in the end' is only average. man, this tune rocks like hell. |
| goa 21.07.2009 09:07 |
I LOVE this incredible album. Sure, for me is first or second on my top lst. One doubt: Why The March of The Black Queen was never played live complete...I mean, it only appears in "those" meddleys??? |
| Vali 21.07.2009 09:19 |

| thomasquinn 32989 21.07.2009 09:54 |
I honestly don't understand what people see in 5.1 mixes. Give me a good stereo-mix any day of the week. QII could do with a *good* revisiting of the master tapes, though. |

Anywayy Queen II is always a pleasure to listen to. |
| malachy 21.07.2009 11:37 |
Additionally it's worth noting that Queen II is cited by many Rock musicians as their favourite Queen album, including Dave Grohl, Taylor Hawkins, Dream Theater, Muse and no end of others. I still can remember listening to it for the first few times in a darkened room on an old radiogram, that's for our older readers... |

Queen 2 would probably be the most perfect Queen album, if it didn't contain The Loser In The End - surely one of Queen's worst tracks. It just totally ruins the flow of the album, and I always miss it out to keep the overall mood going? I've always wondered whether the rest of the band, plus Roy Thomas Baker, privately agreed with this? Can't help feeling they must have!! They really should have said "it's a B-side, Rog" and let Brian write another classic to finish the side. Still, perhaps all great albums have their "Within You Without You" moment ?

| PauloPanucci 21.07.2009 14:17 |
The Queen II get famou because of two musics... "Seven seas of rhye" and "ogre battle" i think!!!!!! It's the two better musics in the albem.... Al musics of the album are good!!!!!!!!!!! |

i mean that if loser in the end not was on the album it hadnt been as goodas it is |
| ParisNair 24.07.2009 09:10 |
The Album had a concept which included emotion and most distinctively fantasy. The Album contained neat piano flourishes and operatic vocal work from Freddie Mercury, guitar virtuosity from Brian May, powerful, deep drumming from Roger Taylor, the deep bass of John Deacon and Queen's powerful, majestic and operatic backing vocals which include the falsetto from Roger Taylor, Choir Vocal sound and most significantly the operatic vocals throughout the album including the Epic March of the Black Queen. The album could be quoted as a combination of early Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, The Who from 1966 - 1973 and Elton John. |

The white side should have been finished by a brian song. loser in the end is one of queens worst songs. Someone should have had the courage too tell roger that his song sucked. |
| vadenuez 24.07.2009 14:54 |
I doesn't fit sonically and thematically. This is an album plagued of stories about ogres, queens, epic battles, marches, processions and mythologies then suddenly out of nowhere bursts a pedestrian song about a whiny spoiled teenager slamming the door and saying 'goodbye ma'. |

It's not near my personal list of my favourite Queen albums but it's ok to listen to occasionally |
| therhyeman 30.07.2009 14:24 |
Lalaalalaa, you're right in that everyone has their own opinion - although everyone I know thinks The Loser In The End sucks big time :)) The point however was not that it's a crap song, it's that it doesn't fit with the rest of the album - whether you like the song or not. And that isn't a matter of opinion - it's fact!! Tim |
| andreas_mercury 30.07.2009 14:35 |
its a work of art unlike The Cosmos Rocks, they jewed the riffs for half of those songs..... |

And that isn't a matter of opinion - it's fact!! Tim People's ears enjoy different things so it will be an opinion no matter what you say. I think The Loser In The End fits with the album quite nicely. It kind of makes the transition from May's material to Mercury's. I wish John wrote something for the album. That would have been interesting. |

I listen to Surrender To The City as a seperate track now. Imagening how it continues. I hope one day the full version will show up. |
| maxpower 31.07.2009 07:18 |
In my opinion Queen never recorded an album anywhere near as good as London Calling maybe my Avatar gives it away. |

Does anybody know where I can find a Clash forum? So I can tell the Clash fans my opinion about my favourite Wham album. Queen II has the best sleeve of all Queen albums. |

| Grantcdn1 13.08.2009 22:53 |
I have to say the Loser in the End is a great track......kind of like Modern Time Rock N Roll from Queen 1 -Roger's voice comes in soaring....and it just picks eveything up....some of the guitar work on there is great too....would have loved to hear it live...similar to an earlier post, I thought it was a great transition from the Brian songs to the Freddie songs... |
| Grantcdn1 13.08.2009 22:57 |
surprised people aren't commenting much regarding Funny How Love Is.....ridiculously repetitive....and really pure filler....I'm thinking that they had 3 extra minutes or so they needed to cram in....just a really boring song in my opinion...and nothing musically |
| rhyeking 13.08.2009 23:36 |
I actually love Funny How Love Is and don't really understand why it gets slammed as filler and a weak song. I'm not saying everyone should like it, but I sure do. I love the crescendo at the end of Black Queen cross-fading into Funny and how it holds there, soaring, for two and half minutes before fading out. Then The Seven Seas Of Rhye's piano rocks in. When I hear Funny How Love Is, I picture Freddie backlit and silhouetted from the side, surrounded by shadow, and singing, head up and fist to the sky, with the light glinting off his metal microphone stand. It's a powerful song for me! Maybe because I grew up listening to '50s and '60s rock and roll, including Phil Spector-produced songs that sound like FHLI, that I really like this number. |
| lalaalalaa 14.08.2009 16:58 |
I think Funny How Love Is is a bit too long. Doesn't mean it's bad though. I like it. |
| mike hunt 14.08.2009 17:47 |
funny how love is is a good song, it fits the black side perfectly. Loser in the end still sucks though. The only bad song on queen2. |
| lalaalalaa 14.08.2009 19:20 |
mike hunt wrote: funny how love is is a good song, it fits the black side perfectly. Loser in the end still sucks though. The only bad song on queen2. That's where I disagree. I love The Loser In The End. I think it is a nice transition from the white side to the black side. It's like the bridge that connects the two sides ;) |
| rhyeking 14.08.2009 20:41 |
I like Loser In The End, but I agree that it's probably the only song that doesn't fit the flow of the rest of the album. I don't think Roger would write a song about fairies even if his life depended on it. |
| mike hunt 17.08.2009 13:52 |
musically "loser" is good, soild drum work, but somethings missing for me. |
| Queenfan1995 18.08.2009 05:45 |
i think that loser had fit much better on sheer heart attack and flick of the wrist had fit on Queen 2 |
| chris the unhappy sheep 21.02.2011 17:10 |
its always been my favourite queen album. its also in my top 5 favourite albums of all-time, 'amused to death' by roger waters being my favourite. i can still remember listening to it for the very first time all those years ago. still picture myself in my bedroom, sitting on the floor, drinking a hot milo, and listening to it on a cheap plastic stereo. i liked it straight away, except for one track which i've never enjoyed. i would of dearly loved it if the band had of made a follow-up lp in the same style. mind you, years later i remember hoping for the same kind of thing after radiohead's 'ok computer'. |
