News Of The World - Queen

When you think of the words "News of the World" the thing that would spring to mind would be a tacky newspaper but believe it or not its also an album by Queen. It contains some of their most famous of the bands songs like We Will Rock You and We Are the Champions which are also two of Queens favourite live songs. News of The World also has some lesser known songs but they are just as good, if not better. It was Queen's 6th album and it is obvious that musical techniques used on previous albums but News of the World is more of a rock album than some of their other material. We are used to a more experimental side form Queen but that isn't evident ...  Read the complete review

News of the World is an album by the band Queen. It was released in 1977 and is the sixth album by band. I was one of the best selling Queen albums in the United States and also sold well around the world.

These are followed by “Sheer Heart ...  Read the complete review

Just when you think Queen are producing the best music of their career they released this heap of trash. I am sad to say that this is one of Queen's much poorer albums. It starts off with two songs from the Greatest Hits, "We Will Rock You" and "We Are The Champions" these songs are quite good when comparing them to the rest of the album. "We Will Rock You" is a well established Queen song that was played live at many of their concert. It has a good guitar solo in the middle of it as well. "We are the Champions" is also very famous, played at many sports events when the team have won the game. This song has some good ...  Read the complete review
