well, my friends - I've just listened to the 3 new tracks from a 320 kbps mp3 rip, and compared with the versions we heard from the BBC radio broadcast: MUCH BETTER. The radio compression really ruined the dynamic range. Freddie's voice is right where it should be on TMBMTLTT Bottom line: all three sound better on Forever |
| PabloArg 06.11.2014 11:22 |
Where did you get them? I (as surely many) heard LK on spotify, and yes, much better. |
| andyb1968 06.11.2014 11:29 |
Good news. |
| joesilvey 06.11.2014 11:30 |
They've leaked... several places online as of this morning... I wanted to hear them before spending money on it, but I'll definitely be buying. (I'm a bit of a Queen completist) |

FOR THE SAKE OF GOD! WHERE?! |

Freddie version1985 much much better. |
| Rick 06.11.2014 13:31 |
Still, a horrible mix. THAT DRUM SOUND :( |
| MercurialFreddie 06.11.2014 16:03 |
Yes, the whole album is on some site which kick[s]ass. Still, I doubt it that it's the final version, someone screwed up transfer and some parts are clearly louder on TMBMTLTT than others so one needs to be very careful while listening. The link posted by Mr Mouth goes to the same old leaked version (Radio BBC2) which you can recognise by the intro and the outro being cut so the effect of people cheering at the end is absent. The site which I've mentioned earlier has final version (more bass and Freddie is louder) but it doesn't maintain the same volume throughout the track so I personally will listen to TMBMTLTT when I'll buy the album. |

I just wondered but what is the difference with the tracks that were remastered in 2014, I haven't noticed anything myself. Other than the first three which are all new mixes, originally the Amazon page stated that mixes were either from the 2011 remasters or from 2014..... |
| MercurialFreddie 06.11.2014 17:56 |
Well, for instance Play the Game synth intro is omitted... so basically the 2014 remasters were edited in some way or another. |

78% compressed mp3 Just listened and sounds shit and Freddies vocals are still drowned out, Jacksons voice is crystal clear and nice loud, imagine how much better this would of sounded had Mr Orbit not turned Freddies vocal down. Jackson hardly sings on it what's the point having him on it i cant imagine loads of MJ fans rushing to buy it, it's more like a snippet. |

The swelling ending in You Take My Breath Away is gone. |

Oh, and Jealousy is WITH the bass drum. |

So glad we got the Hyde Park gem. |
| brENsKi 08.11.2014 06:14 |
there are no NEW tracks. this release includes only new OLD tracks and old OLD tracks |
| matt z 08.11.2014 08:18 |
And a newly revisited old track An old revisited and thereafter REMIXED old track And a newly performed old track from a solo act |
| Lord Fickle 08.11.2014 08:39 |
It's basically another QPL stitch up. They couldn't even be arsed to give us proper and full stand alone versions of Nevermore and Lily of the Valley. They should just have put the three 'new' tracks out as a single or an EP and been done with it. I've bought it, for the sake of having it, but I doubt I'll even listen to most of it. |
| eYe 08.11.2014 14:41 |
First Queen release I will not buy, just got the two "new" songs as mp3 from amazon. No way I'll ever buy anything with Michael Jackson on it. He liked little boys way too much. The duet is just an awfull remix anyway. |
| Lord Fickle 08.11.2014 16:26 |
Plus, there's an awful mastering error in TMBMTLLT resulting in a surge of distortion at 2:09. How on earth did that get past whoever quality controls these things? Oh, wait... quality control?? At least it's a shit track I won't listen to again. |
| Lord Fickle 09.11.2014 05:01 |
If anyone actually wants this, and hasn't already pre-ordered it, it's going cheap on WOWHD (UK) at the moment: link |

The new piano arrangement on Spread Your Wings sounds so off |

Anyone else notice that John Deacon plays additional electric guitar on Love Kills, but not bass? |

Your attitude helps bring us more crappy releases like this. Thank you so much! |
| Lord Fickle 10.11.2014 13:20 |
I don't know many real Queen fans who don't buy all the products, shit or not. If we didn't, what would we have to complain about?! |
| Barry Durex 10.11.2014 18:11 |
^ I didn't buy this or deep cuts. I have all Queen and solo releases to this point. I dont care if my collection has a hole where this sort of thing is missing. I would have bought a cd single had it been released however. No big loss. |
| cmsdrums 13.11.2014 11:15 |
Just seen the CD booklet correctly credits the writers of Love Kills as Freddie and Georgio Moroder. I'd like to know if there's a specific reason why the recent official video for it incorrectly credits Freddie as sole writer. Presumably this is just QPL's team just being totally incompetent yet again?? |
