I actually praise "The Cosmos Rocks" but it will always be compared to Freddie Mercury era Queen unfortunately, it'll never get a fair shake despite then outstanding collection of new material. C-Lebrity had massive airplay via PIXY 102.9 FM, the local classic rock station here on Cape Cod of Massachusetts USA, I don't know about anywhere else stateside. The Hyannis, MA retailer in store Best Buy stocked up on the vinyl release, I don't know how well it sold though. Spinnakers, a actual mom and pop CD store in Hyannis had no trade ins or returns of "The Cosmos Rocks" but had plenty of Freddie era Queen unfortunately and Spinnaker's was the sole place on Cape Cod to get imports - official and bootlegs up until DSL & Broadband & the MP3 made an appearance here in the states. Spinnakers still does carry all that too. Why Queen + Paul Rodgers failed to tour the United States has never been fully explained or talked about by any member of the band that I know of but if you know where an interview exists, lead the way please. As a whole, the production is similar to the slick "Made In Heaven" and the only down point of the release is that most of the material were jams originally, then written out thoughtfully and recorded meticulously with exception to "Voodoo" and even that is take two of an impromptu jam. Had "The Cosmos Rocks" been subject to production similar to Queen's first release, would've it made much of a difference? I think so for Queen's first full length album best represents Queen as a live band in the studio and QPR was made for the concert stage imho. My favorite song to this day from "The Cosmos Rocks" is "Time To Shine" and imho, it suffered from lack of live performances, only being played under 5 times or less that I am aware of. "Time To Shine" is easily the most uplifting song on the whole album, never ceasing to create wonderment and a feeling of positiveness about life as a whole, one of those, pick you off the ground and stand you straight up kind of songs. "Call Me" - why they ignored this song as a single here in the States despite being listed on a sticker on the album and Rolling Stone stating it should be downloaded - is a standout track is beyond me. QPR never performed this rock-a-bily song live either, opting for the preachy boring - never should've been performed live "We Believe". "Small" & the reprise never were performed live despite being a standout but the frailty of the song, the quietness and strong words of being humble well, I couldn't imagine trying to win over a large crowd of 350,000 people like QPR had in the Ukraine, the free gig. "Small" would best sound better live in a club perhaps? Could've QPR got 350,000 people to sing along to the chorus had it been more well known, a single instead of an album favorite and cut? One will never know. Brian May caught much flack for including a sample of "We Will Rock You" in "Still Burnin'" and I am in line with the flackers on this. What starts out as a bombastic bluesy slow burning rocker is turned into a façade of itself when the stomp-stom-clap of "We Will Rock You" is introduced towards the end. "Still Burnin'" would've succeeded without Brians meddling in my humble opinion. The song "The Cosmos Rocks" was first reported to be known as "Whole House Rockin'" according to first reports about the song, one reviewer didn't know the proper title at the time. It should've started the concert first song done in backed with "Tie Your Mother Down" following "The Cosmos Rocks" instead of the first encore slot it got. Other than "Voodoo" it easily represents the band as a adlib-freestyle-blues rock-jam type band that opted for one of the first recordings of the song instead of recording it over and over again, they did this song fairly quickly and the results are excellent. "Surf's Up....Schools Out", well, if not "The Cosmos Rocks" to start the album, would've best been first? At some point during the tour, the song was the show opener and it did quite well. Paul Rodgers blues performance with the harmonica was a welcome intro to him and Queen and is one of only a handful of Queen songs, Freddie Mercury era included that features another instrument besides synth, piano, guitar, bass and drums. "One Year Of Love" has the saxophone and would've been awesome live with a guest performer playing sax but Queen never had that many live guests, if any at all until the Freddie Mercury tribute concert - and I'm not including Jackson or Bowie and the studio recordings either, just live performances. I would like to think Queen weren't cheap and would've welcomed a gospel group for "Somebody To Love" & "Bohemian Rhapsody" in concert, I mean, how expensive could've it been to hire singers as a large group - a proper chorus to do justice with Queen in concert? Now that Paul Rodgers is done with Brian May & Roger Taylor, there is one studio album to listen to and dozens of variations of live performances from both tours to enjoy. As of late, perhaps Adam Lambert could "step up to the plate" and deliver a proper Queen + Adam Lambert studio album? A full length release? It's been hinted at..... I much prefer Paul Rodgers over Adam Lambert with Queen any day of the week. WK |

I think that a Queen + Adam Lambert studio album will be not like The Cosmos Rock, may be with the lead vocal of Roger and Brian, and of course Adam's voice. |

Still Burning is a nice song, that have some Queen-like elements and some Brian solo elements. I remember I wrote to Brian telling him how much I like the Still Burning solo and he replied that he had forgotten about that song! Small, We Believe, Some things that glitter and Through the Night are amazing songs that many people dont like not because they are bad (because they are not) but because they dont sound like Queen or Paul... Which is the main criticism for this album. TCR and Surf's Up are very funny songs. The only song I dont like is Call Me. |

Listened. Was disappointed. Confused. I've written to length about my feelings there. Brian May. ... It's got Brian May! This SHOULD BE great! I gave up. Liked the lead C- lebrity (though it sounds like Judas Priest's A Touch of Evil) Went back to it after a QZ poster discussed how much they liked it. It was still bad (for the parties involved) I don't listen to it. In my opinion. .. Surfs up schools out is the most embarrassing release the guys have EVER done. It's absolutely retarded. "Yeeeeaaaahhh!" I said it. ... retarded |

| WKMahlerMahlers.Com 13.11.2014 00:14 |
Don't be a wise ass okay? It's obvious at least to me that by stating they failed to tour was in reference to support of "The Cosmos Rocks" here in the USA, 2008. It's also here in the USA where not even a late night television live performance and interview with hosts such as O'Brien, Letterman or Leno took place, not once. As a Queen fan and Paul Rodgers fan, writing on behalf of not only myself but countless listeners of both artists all over the USA, we felt abandoned. Had Brian and Roger took to the idea of a tour in the states, perhaps Paul would've considered staying on with the two and not felt like an employee over being an artist perhaps? After all, he himself, Paul Rodgers can be quoted as stating in a recent interview that both Brian & Roger called the shots during the recording process of "The Cosmos Rocks" in it's entirety. Now, for my other comment about only a handful of Queen songs having more than synth, piano, drums, bass, vocals and guitar, there's probably under ten songs in total by the band, officially released by the band out of hundreds of songs, performed live and or in studio that come to mind. Bring Back That Leroy Brown Fairy Feller's Master Stroke Good Company Seaside Rendezvous Love Of My Life Teo Torriate (Let Us Cling Together) One Year Of Love Surf's Up...School's Out Not that many efforts as a whole by any incarnation of Queen. Also, for a band that didn't hold back in the studio, sparing no expense for songs like "Bohemian Rhapsody", "The Prophet's Song", "Father To Son", "Someday One Day", songs that incorporated layers upon layers of vocals and or guitar work, others like "It's A Hard Life", "All Dead, All Dead", "You Take My Breath Away", "Somebody To Love", "The Millionaires Waltz", please understand, the songs that fall into the category of classical, symphony, orchestras - translated into rock songs, well, what could Freddie, John, Roger & Brian expect when faced with the challenge of live performance and acceptance by the audience? I was let down considerably when I first heard the live version of "You Take My Breath Away", just Freddie and his piano as he tried in vain to do justice to the elaborate ballad, so much so, it's as if he didn't bother to try more than merely just wanting to get it over with, it was that bad compared to the lovely studio version - and I still am let down to this day, over a decade after hearing the song live via a bootleg on cassette for the first time.1 I'd like to believe they could've afforded a chorus of people, 10 - 20 backup singers, set up behind Roger's drum kit for live renditions of "Bohemian Rhapsody", the operatic section and all the backing soulful vocals of "Somebody To Love" and I'd like to believe they could've found someone to play sax for "One Year Of Love" live in concert, were they really that stingy or just wanting to be a stripped down mainly four piece band for the longest time until they needed someone to play piano for Freddie seemingly couldn't do it anymore. At least Brian May when he toured solo in support of both of his releases, he had back up singers with him at every show. I can't write about Roger's solo concerts or his live gigs with The Cross, I've not heard more than one or two shows and both were bootlegs too. When Paul Rodgers joined in, it became apparent that Jamie M., Brian's accompaniment on guitar was singing back ups and the song of Mercury era Queen took on a whole new life without that much of a drastic change. When Freddie and the boys first performed "Fat Bottomed Girls" in concert and it was bootlegged, I heard that many years later and was shocked to hear them struggle to sing the beginning of the song, just Roger & Freddie at different octaves from each other, raw and pure, unconditional and unprocessed unlike the full and grand chorus of many repeated overlaying vocals for "Fat Bottomed Girls". Paul Rodgers version gave excellent respect to the original version of "Fat Bottomed Girls" meaning, the vocal intro seemed to flow better than any version Freddie did in concert - and it became one of the primary reasons I think why "Fat Bottomed Girls" was left off of "Live Killers" (and "Somebody To Love" as well.) I could go on but it's 1:13 a.m. est here on the east coast of the USA, I should be sound asleep presently. WK |

As an album I like it, apart from call me, cod country & western yuch !! But there are good songs on there, it just wasn't Queen and wasn't PR , I think they both compromised so much that it became wishy washy, you can almost hear Brian holding back in the solo's, trying to not make it sound like Queen ! |
| Mercurydoc 13.11.2014 02:57 |
You're right to point out that the live sound was very different to the studio recordings (increasingly so as the years went by) but I think that's because Queen live was meant to be a totally different experience from listening to their recorded output. Nowadays, lots of bands use click tracks on stage with some pre-recorded backing as well. They play live over that. This allows the audience to hear a more faithful rendition of the studio stuff. Autotune also makes an appearance. Personally, I like the fact that there was a contrast between Queen's immaculately produced multi-tracked albums and the raw energy seen on stage. it was very much a visual experience as well, rather than an auditory one. Hence, I'm not that keen on listening to Queen's live albums. Having said that, the Rainbow 74 gig does sound excellent |
| Holly2003 13.11.2014 03:38 |
Some Things That Glitter is the only song that rises above average. TCR is okay but utterly unmemorable, It reminds me of one of the weaker Foreigner albums -- utterly average MOR rawk. |
| queenfan78.1 13.11.2014 07:08 |
I think it's a great album full of energy. Sure, a few of the lyrics on some songs could be better. I only wish they included runaway as a proper album track than just a download, that has to be in my opinion the best song out of the bunch. a real return to hard rock, they just kick-ass on that one. |

I agree. I like TCR album so much and still listen to it with joy. The only song that I find weak is the Hendrix cover Vodoo, which I find unnecessary. Some Things That Gliter and Small are great songs IMO. Others are very good stuff as well. Of course it is not like Queen with Freddie, but how can it be when you don't have Freddie? Personally I prefer to have albums like "Queen + someone" than not to have anything new at all... |

I think its as strong as most of the solo albums but weaker than all of the Queen albums. Kind of around the level Id expect from guys 30 odd years past their peak. About 3 or 4 decent/good songs and some other good moments. |

I remember back in time was exciting to get a new album from Brian & Roger. Some songs are really enjoyable, like C-lebrity (the riff is great), Voodoo, Warboys or Surfs Up. If i'm not mistaken a lot of the writting process was made by Roger and Paul, i wonder why Brian didn't participate more. What was the point where the society Q+PR broke up? Was while recording or during the Cosmos Tour? |

Honestly, apart from Call Me - a fifties jam gone wrong, in my opinion - I adore The Cosmos Rocks, and every time I listen to it now, I get a nostalgic feeling since I remember playing the absolute ARSE out of it in 2009. And I loved it since it was new material. And then eleven months after I got Cosmos, Absolute Greatest came along - my head hit the desk. |

Roger had the best four songs on the album: Surf's Up, Small, Cosmos Rocks, and C-lebrity. Brian and Paul's contributions to the album were generally ho-hum. Brian has nothing left in the tank but spin. Editing intros and using fadeouts for Forever is not a new take on old songs. |
| The Ghost of Lester Burnham 16.11.2014 18:25 |
I still listen to it fairly regularly, especially this time of year. Time to Shine, Small, Some Things, and Surf's Up are the highlights. Even We Believe has grown on me since I first heard it! |
| ggo1 17.11.2014 10:17 |
It's not a terrible album, but it's not great either. I really like Small, Shine, Some things that glitter, Cosmos Rocking, C-Lebrity and I love Surfs Up which I see gets a kicking from some on here, but the basic problem is the album (C-Lebrity apart) lacks the Queen sound, so it's hard to think of it as a Queen album. (And I'm not sure legally it is, what with that little + sign after the name Queen, I'm sure there is more to that than a marketing gimmick, maybe 'Queen +' artist royalties don't get split 4 ways.... just a thought.). My absolute favourite on the album is the Bonus track Runaway that I bought separately on iTunes. (My first digital download, everything prior was cassette, LP or cd). The fact that a cover version is the only track that sounds truly joyful in the recording, says a lot. If it had Been a Brian, Roger and Paul album it might have been seen differently. I like Paul Rodgers, he has done some amazing work, and obviously I like Queen or I wouldn't be here. Live I think it worked well, on the record, it's just a bit flat for me. If they record with Adam Lambert I think that will have much more of a Queen sound, though if they give Adam too much leeway it may be a bit too poppy and not enough rock. |
| Martin Packer 17.11.2014 14:29 |
Yes, Runaway is where they really let rip. Perhaps because none of them wrote it. :-) I like the album, some bits a lot. But it isn't as good as any Queen-with-Freddie album - to me. |

I didn't listen to TCR properly when it came out. It simply didn't have the addictive Queen sound that I expected. Doesn't mean it's a bad album though I guess. In fact I have really liked Brian and Kelly's version of All the Glitters (Once I loved a Butterfly) and also the tracks that made it onto Fun on Earth (ie Say Its Not True and Small). So now that my expectations about it being a Queen album are gone, I might enjoy it a lot more! |

It reminds me of a solo album From Brian and roger. Its one of those albums I Never listen to anymore. The songs I STILL like are Glitter and small, two excellent songs. The rest Is Forgettable. Warboys and call me are among the worst Queen related songs ever released. Say its not true Is decent, but I like the live version with only Roger on vocals better than the studio. |
| The Real Wizard 21.11.2014 12:50 |
I actually quite liked Call Me. It's simple and it has a great hook. And the guitar break is just classic Brian. Time To Shine, Small, Call Me, Some Things That Glitter, C-lebrity, Runaway - all excellent tracks in my eyes. Had they gone the supergroup route (think Audioslave, Velvet Revolver, etc.) and not used the Queen name, there would've been great positive anticipation and these tracks would've been given the respect they deserve. But, how hindsight is 20/20. Nobody outside of hardcore Queen fans will even think of these songs. Huge opportunity for post-Freddie creative recognition missed. |

Do Paul play(ed) any of this songs on his solo gigs? It seems that Brian and Roger are not interested in play any of them in their Q+AL tour... And it would be a shame! Also, it seems that Roger is not interested in playing any of his solo material, while Brian tend to play Last Horizon and ignore the rest of his songs... Such a shame. (As a side note, I have sent a few messages to Brian on Twitter, once I suggest him to play Another World in the Q+AL tour, he didnt replied but he gave a me a "favorite" to my message I wonder if there was some kind of "message" behind that action) lol |

| madprofessorus 24.11.2014 04:19 |
Cosmos Rocks wasn't a bad album,to me is a combination of some Queen sound elements,with a classical rock singer,and of course it was more straight rock oriented,there was no way to hear multi voca harmonies,pianos and stuff like that,Brian and Roger surely didn't want a cheap copy of Freddie's era,and of course Paul is a totally different singer,haven't heard the live album so I can't say the differences between two eras.In case that they try something with Lambert,which I think is impossible,for me there are...too old for that,propably it would be something closer to the older days,since Lambert has that kind of voice.But as I said,this is not likely to happen at all. |
| MackMantilla 24.11.2014 11:06 |
My favourite ones from this album are: 'Small', 'We Believe', 'Some Things That Glitter', 'Say It's Not True', 'Surf's Up... School's Out!'. I'm still waiting that some day Universal Records re-issue this album with 'Runaway' and 'Take Love' as bonus tracks. |
| The King Of Rhye 25.11.2014 08:47 |
My first listen to TCR was with my brother, a classic rock fan, but really only a casual fan of Queen..........he said something like "ok, apart from a few songs, that sounded like Bad Company or something, not like Queen"............. Heh...........now that I think about it, I remember I bought that and Metallica's Death Magnetic on the same day! (great album, poor production....) |
