It's doing all the things Queen records do but feels like someone pretending to be Queen.

Track 3 - I Was Born to Love You.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Sep 14, 2019 1:18 pm

It's credited to Queen on the Queen Official channel. scared

The volume's nothing like as loud as the other tracks. rant

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Sep 14, 2019 1:20 pm

It feels quite uninspired.

From Wikipedia:

Initially, the album was supposed to feature duets with Mercury and Michael Jackson. They recorded "There Must Be More to Life Than This", but Mercury dropped out of any further collaboration after feeling uncomfortable working with Jackson's pet llama in the studio.

Anyway, this track's a total mess.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Sep 14, 2019 1:23 pm

They've just flung in anything they could think of.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Sep 14, 2019 1:24 pm

Track 4 - Man Made Paradise.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Sep 14, 2019 1:24 pm

Sounds a bit like early 1980s ELO.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Sep 14, 2019 1:26 pm

The production on this album's awful. There's all kinds of jarring things keep happening randomly.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Sep 14, 2019 1:26 pm

Wikipedia says it was produced by Reinhold Mack.

I shall find out who he is.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Sep 14, 2019 1:27 pm

He's worked with ELO. gasp

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Sep 14, 2019 1:28 pm

Track 8 - There Must Be More to Life Than This.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Sep 14, 2019 1:28 pm

This is a lot better. They're keep it simple and relying on melody rather than production.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Sep 14, 2019 1:29 pm

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Sep 14, 2019 1:29 pm

This sounds more like classic era ELO.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Sep 14, 2019 1:30 pm

Track 9 - Living On My Own.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Sep 14, 2019 1:31 pm

He's doing the "Oh De Doh Eh" thing. dontpanic

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Sep 14, 2019 1:32 pm
