and quite frankly, i am a little dissappointed. other than the classics ( fat bottom girls, bycycle race, dreamers ball, dont stop me now,) There are a few that are ok, like jealousy, and if you cant beat em, join em I am jsut a little dissappointed. I dont know, maybe i just need to warm up to the record, and to the songs. Im like that |
| Banquo 07.03.2004 05:53 |
Dead on Time is amazing give it a while and you'll soon enjoy it. If not play More Of That Jazz wait till the middle and you can hear a condensed version of the album. |
| Mayboy 07.03.2004 07:15 |
"In only seven days" is one of my favs from the album |
| Penis - Vagina 07.03.2004 07:21 |
Not my favorite album, but certainly enough good stuff there :) I've never cared much for the overall sound/production of the album. Something just doesn't sound right. Perhaps bringing Roy Baker back after having already blossomed without him wasn't the best idea. And I'd have ditched the first & last tracks, but otherwise it's alright. |
| [StArMaN] 07.03.2004 08:18 |
Yes, production isn't the best point of this album : drums sounds too weak and guitars are squeezed !! What a crap sound for a 1978 release, considering that Pink Floyd's Wall was recorded the same year at the same studios (in France). |
| Iam the one 07.03.2004 08:52 |
The JAzz albume is ok.I really like dead on time,mustapha,Fat bottom girls. |
| Simmer 07.03.2004 09:28 |
I like it, it's just a fun record. Not the best, but I like almost all songs on it. Okay, maybe Mustapha and More Of That Jazz aren't great. But Jealousy, In Only Seven Days and Leaving Home Ain't Easy are wonderful!! |
| deleted user 07.03.2004 09:34 |
I love Jazz - fantastic album. |
| Simmer 07.03.2004 09:59 |
Damn, I forgot one... Dreamer's Ball is also very nice!! |
| Ms.Lurex 07.03.2004 10:17 |
Jazz is one of my fav albums! there isn't one bad song on there! my least fav song from that album is fat bottomed girls...i just never got into it |
| Dances With Freddie 07.03.2004 10:23 |
come on - let me entertain you, leaving home..., dreamer's ball, more of that jazz, mustapha, jealousy..... I love that album! |
| Maz 07.03.2004 10:32 |
Give it about 12 years, then you'll like it. That's what I had to do. |
| Robin 07.03.2004 10:41 |
It's a great album! I love it! |
| Ms.Lurex 07.03.2004 10:41 |
i just love to hear let me entertain you live...it's wild and sexy sounding! it flows perfectly right after the fast WWRY version...which i prefer over the original..what about you all?? fast or slow WWRY? |
| Dances With Freddie 07.03.2004 10:46 |
I prefer the original, but i love tham both. |
| Adam Baboolal 07.03.2004 14:07 |
Shame you don't like it. I actually think it's one of their best. Definitely in my top 5. |
| Daburcor? 07.03.2004 16:38 |
Jazz is AWESOME! I LOVE Jealousy, Dreamers Ball(my fave on the album), etc, etc... GREAT album! Sorry to hear that you don't much care for it! |
| freddies_chicka 07.03.2004 20:18 |
the only songs i dont like is probly fun it, and more of that jazz. The remake for bycycle race is atrocious. i like the album other than that. |
| Mr.Jingles 07.03.2004 20:24 |
Sure, Jazz doesn't sound much like the albums from Queen II to ADATR, which that gave the band their own original sound. Jazz along with 'News Of The World' were perhaps Queen's intorduction to mainstream pop/rock, but they were still great albums. Many people forget that 'Jazz' is perhaps the Queen album in which the band experiments with the most variety of genres and sounds while still keeping that original Queen sound, and that can't be a bad thing. |
| Kuku 07.03.2004 22:42 |
"Give it about 12 years, then you'll like it." Wow that's like... 60% of my life so far... It took me... 3 months to love most of the songs there. I'm glad you bought the album. It may sound nothing like the previous albums or any other albums you had before. Yet, if you listen really closely, it definitely has Queen sounds that never fades away. The merit of this album, and al other albums of Queen, is that the more you listen to the album, the more treasures you find. Good luck! |
| freddies_chicka 07.03.2004 22:50 |
thank you! I am like that, the more i listen to an album or song, the more it grows on me. |
| Shane Jazz 08.03.2004 00:48 |
All hail the album Jazz! I named myself after it! Dead on Time is truly a rock hurricane, just get out of its way! In Only Seven Days is, oddly enough, my favorite Queen song ever...Mustapha is strangely hard to get out of your head, very catchy (the music at least, not the words), Dreamers Ball is a dreamlike gem and Don't Stop Me Now is a pop masterpiece. I love it all! The only thing better than the album was the tour! |
| Maz 08.03.2004 01:41 |
"Wow that's like... 60% of my life so far... " Yet another nail in the coffin... |
| Daburcor? 08.03.2004 01:53 |
LOL! |
| The Mir@cle 08.03.2004 04:37 |
I love Jazz... I bought it recently and the disc is already worn out. |
| siljeoen 08.03.2004 05:27 |
GREAT album!! |
| freddies_chicka 08.03.2004 09:58 |
Im already getting used to fun it! It sounds like a roller rink anthem. |
| Fenderek 08.03.2004 12:17 |
One of my favourites- better than anything from the 80s anyway... Mustapha, Let Me entertain You, Dreamer's Ball, Jealousy and Dead On Time are the highlights |
| Azmandaman 08.03.2004 12:30 |
Jealousy got me straight in the heart!!! it was fuckin unreal when I first listen to it as I was doing sit ups as I was Jealous over breaking up the day I got the album and that song fuckin scared me!!!!!! it was like if Freddie was just beside me singing what I was feeling!!! sorry about my colourfull language guys just cant express how beautifullly true that song is (and can be)!!! if I didnt hear such a devine mellow vibe of a Queen song I would straight up be a rebelious Queen rocker YEAH!!! |
| jorge 09.03.2004 05:05 |
Well Bycicle Race never liked it me, but the album is quite interesting, I adore Leaving Home Ain't Easy I think that it's one of the best Bryan's ballads that he composed for Queen,The solos and harmonies of Bryan are great,John's "If You Can't Beat 'em" is one of my favorites, Jazz is one of my favorites |
| freddies_chicka 09.03.2004 23:32 |
i'll pull you and ill pill you, i'll cruelladeville you |
| Saffron Caribou 09.03.2004 23:43 |
I place Jazz as my fourth favourite album after Innuendo, Queen 2, and ADATR. It is just a good album. I love all the songs except 'More of that Jazz'. |
| jorge 10.03.2004 00:03 |
Why Queen never played Dead On Time alive? It's a very powerful song, I like Bryan on this song |
| freddies_chicka 10.03.2004 01:10 |
I am actually loving the album now. I love mustapha, and more of that jazz is just one im going to have to get used to |
| deleted user 10.03.2004 03:04 |
Jazz is definitely my favourite album!! If you can't beat them really is the best song, followed by Dreamer's Ball, Fat Bottomed Girls, Jealousy and Fun It. More of that Jazz is in my opinion the worst song of the album, but that's not bad, because Jazz still rocks with that song. By the way: it's Brian and not Bryan, Jorge! |
| jorge 10.03.2004 04:52 |
Sorry (or it's sorri) :) , well here(Mexico)exists two names Bryan and Brian,sometimes I confuse them bedankt! |
| Sonja 10.03.2004 05:23 |
One of the greatest ever! Not a week I don't listen to it.. at least once! |
| deleted user 10.03.2004 05:41 |
You're welcome, Jorge! ;-) |
| SallyJ. 10.03.2004 08:14 |
..."it was like if Freddie was just beside me singing what I was feeling!!! sorry about my colourfull language guys just cant express how beautifullly true that song is (and can be)!!!" Hey Azmandaman, no need to say sorry about your colourfull language, it's actually quite funny (and I somehow am getting better at understanding what you're saying without having to read it 4 times lol ;)) As for me,in my not so colourfull language :(: Jazz is a great album! |
| freddies_chicka 10.03.2004 09:56 |
it realy is. Yesterday i accedentally left my cd player in my teachers room, and it was just before school. So, i went to go get it, and there was my teacher and 2 other kids crowding around my cd player, and they were listening to Mustapha! my teacher (who's really col, shes my fave) shes like "wow, it sounds like the Lion king!" |
| Penis - Vagina 10.03.2004 10:49 |
'Jealousy' really grew on me. At first I didn't like the sound of the acoustic guitar but I grew to love it for the deeply personal lyrics and beautiful harmonies.. and the ascending note thing at the end I love too, really gives it character. |
| dragonzflame 11.03.2004 17:36 |
I like it well enough, but it isn't one of those ones I listen to a lot. |
| fairymercury 12.03.2004 13:34 |
i love the album, i think ita great! I love let me entertain you and when its sung live on Queen Live Killers album it's even better...don't like the first track, absolutely adore Jealousy...beautiful song ;D |
| Krizzy 12.03.2004 13:54 |
Chicka, The album will grow on you as will Mustapha the most unrated song in the Queen catalogue, IMHO. Mustapha is a unique song because it has a Eastern riff to it as does Jealousy which has an almost hypnotic quality to it, a Indian sounding record with a riff like a sitar playing. Absolutely unique and beautiful and ahead of its time since Sting has used Middle Eastern and Indian riffs in his music just recently, ie., Desert Rose. Also, this was before Peter Gabriel song with Yassour D'Noir i.e., In Your Eyes. Freddie Mercury was ahead of his time, in many things, especially his music. Kriz ;o) |
| freddies_chicka 12.03.2004 19:40 |
Im in love with the album now!! YAY |

So because somebody did something similar to Freddie 20 years after he did it, that makes him ahead of his time? Was he ahead of his time because Robbie Williams has recently been using the half microphone-stand? What about the fact that numerous other bands, such as The Beatles, Led Zeppelin and Miles Davis had incorporated Indian and Middle Eastern riffs and elements way before Jazz? Just because some people did things that Fred had done after him, it doesn't follow that therefore nobody had done those things before him. |
| Adam Baboolal 12.03.2004 20:47 |
Here, here! |
| Krizzy 12.03.2004 22:19 |
WTF? Arrogant aren't we! Yes LED ZEP use Eastern rhythms before Queen but let Robert Plant sing Mustapha if he did it the way he sang Innuendo COVER YOUR EARS! PU! I was making a point that Queen was one of the pioneers of blending rhythms, calm down, chill, have a pint a two. Geez! |
| iGSM 12.03.2004 23:10 |
I can't say I'm terribly fond of Jazz, but I attribute that to the fact that I've only heard a zillionth of the album. Out of the 13 songs I've heard 6 so I can't even call myself half a Jazz fan. So take that, David Bovine. |
