A Kind Of Magic doesn't sound dated ... by the way no one cares as long as the music is really good. Todays artists are all fresh and already are a lot of shit (Call One Me anyone??) |
| Leppar 23.02.2005 16:17 |
Jazz sounds really dated to me. I just think it isn't quite as good as Queens other albums. |
| brENsKi 23.02.2005 17:18 |
i would say from Hot Space thru The works to AKOM they all date they all have a very 80's sound whereas the others could fit into any decade as a classic rock sound of it's own |
| newcastle 86! 16483 23.02.2005 18:38 |
all the 80s album stuff sounds dated now but put in context itll all come round again, the same as the 70s stuff has apart from most of the miracle, and the works! |
| GonnaUseMyPrisoners 23.02.2005 18:41 |
The Works, Flash Gordon, and Hot Space. |
| Jjeroen 24.02.2005 04:45 |
The Works And part of Innuendo... unfortunately :-( |
| deleted user 24.02.2005 06:13 |
WHAT DOES IT MATTER??? You still listen to them don't you? So shut up, because their 80s albums are way better than anything that is around today! You could also say that the 60s are dated, because every music had its time, but everyone trashes the 80s. By the way, what sounds dated on Innuendo? So get a life and stop this ridiculous discussion! |

I've heard a few people say that Kylie Minogue's song 'I believe in You' has a 'Radio Ga Ga'/ 'A Kind Of Magic' feel to it Then I've heard people say 'The Darkness' 'Scissor Sisters''White Stripes'are very Queen So I honestly think Queens Music appeals to all Decades I wouldn't say it was Out- Dated They never followed 'What's Cool Musically' (perhaps Fred & Rog sometimes) and yet they are popular with Artists Today -Universal following |

The production on the 80's albums sounds VERY dated, due to them totally relying on the "then" new digital technology.... today, no ones relies solely on digital technology as it sounds clinical & cold. Innuendo has very little low end which has made it date earlier than it should have done.... the drums sounds like theyre all triggered so youre not getting a live sound aswell... much like all the 80's albums and Made In Heaven |

Negative Creep wrote: The production on the 80's albums sounds VERY dated, due to them totally relying on the "then" new digital technology.... today, no ones relies solely on digital technology as it sounds clinical & cold.i have to agree completely. i've never like Hot Space - even when it was new - and the more i think about it i realise it has f-all to do with the funk tracks (i love the game) - it's the production - the coldness of Hot Space makes it less appealing to me....and the works is rapidly joining it for the same reason - an excellent point fella !!! well made and Peter Cetera - don't tell people to shut up - they are all as entitled to say what they think as you are - just because YOU may not think ANY queen albums date it doesn't make you right the reason that the 60s and 70s have more respect attached to them is because the music was genuinely creative and pushing back the technology all the time - because of the limits that were there. the 80s on the other hand was unmittigatingly manufactured in both sound and direction -most of the rock in that decade appeared to follow the Stock Aiken & Waterman route of "formulaic blip-blip, techno sound" where all the life, impurities and character were squeezed out in an attempt to make it sound "great" - this made most of it sound very karaoke (the best word to describe the sound, if you know what it means) and Peter, your namesake produced some of the most manufactured hollow sounding pap-ballads known to man (imo) - if albums/tracks or sides of albums date for one person - then they date - that is all there is to it - it's all down to perception - you could get 200 people on here to look at the same shade of blue and we'd all call it something different |

i tink the sound quality of Queen and Queen II isnt great, but the sounds of the rest of the albums work with the time they were recorded in i think - yes, they dont sound as good as today, but i dont really like all the 'tecno' 'dance' stuff of today so i would be a bit biased!:-p xxx |
| JenPen 24.02.2005 13:42 |
Generally, Queen's fresh innovative sound doesn't sound dated because it is so different from everything else around. Although, having said that, I can't stand Hot Space, the Miracle and the Magic Album. If Queen had stuck with there original premise of 'No Synths' then perhaps they would have been better, but without the experiment then you'll never know. Queen, News of the World and The Game are my favourite at the moment. |
| millbrookmusic 24.02.2005 13:55 |
they're all dated. That's how Queen worked. Freddie said himself that he wrote according to what was going on in music at the time. Every album is very pin pointable to the era in which it was written. The song writing may or may not be timeless...that's not the question at hand. But as far as albums go, I don't think any average non-Queen fan would have a hard time figuring out which era the songs are from within a 3 year margin of accuracy. - deej |
| puzzled86 24.02.2005 16:34 |
Hot Space is definately dated. If that doesn't portray the 80's, I don't know what does!!! |
| RohemianBapsody 24.02.2005 16:48 |
I would have to agree with puzzled86. I think Hot Space is one of the only Queen albums to be created for a certain time period. The interesting thing is the difference in sound between GH1 and GH2, they sound so different. |

| Leppar 25.02.2005 14:06 |
Definately, GH2 was so much better, especially for the best Queen song - Hammer To Fall. GH1 was still awesome though. |

| chiflaco 25.02.2005 23:15 |
I think the 80's,those cheesy drum machines they used..really hurt the production on many good songs. So to me,it's only production-wise that makes them sound dated. |
| White or Black 26.02.2005 09:45 |
brenski : I like your quotes. FM said that speaking of which song? |
| mike hunt 26.02.2005 20:56 |
queen knew a bit more about music than you people, that's why the works, magic and their 80's material all went to number one. you people would have put the same stuff out like ac/dc over and over, being one dimensional. queen knew better than that. they always looked for different styles to do. |
| PhoenixRising 27.02.2005 03:25 |
Listening to Queen I the other day, I couldn't help but notice how unpolished Roger's drum playing was at the time, compared to subsequent albums. The album production itself was somewhat tinny on certain recordings ('Liar' especially, though a great song). Extensive use of reverb as well in many of the guitar threads. This album seems the most dated to me. |

Completely remastered and refitted to look like the golden days LP covers. |
| Jjeroen 27.02.2005 15:39 |
Err... scuse me, Indeed MOST of the vinyl-replica remasters sound very good. And yes they all make very nice packages. But anyone should agree that the Innuendo remaster specifically does definately NOT sound alright! (And that has nothing to do with sounding outdated or not. It's just a awfully bad mix!) |
| dave2005 27.02.2005 17:42 |
None of them Hot Space isn't dated - it just shows Queen working in a different style. This is what's good about Queen - they are very versatile - incorporating many different styles - rock, pop, opera, disco, rock'n'roll, jazz, and why not funk. Anyway, only the first 5 or so songs are funk on Hot Space - there are other songs, which are not funk at all - very timeless - like Life Is Real. Queen is Timeless |
