Queen QUEEN - ROCKS VOL. 1 CD compilation--intended, perhaps, to prove that, for all the effete connotations of their name and reputation, this band actually could cut loose when i t suited them. But was there ever any doubt? Sceptics should bear in mind that, as well as Dame Freddie, Queen also contained Brian May and Roger Taylor: the former a singularly ambitious lead guitarist, the latter an utterly unreconstructed rocker. And their musical input--together with the calm demeanour of bassist John Deacon--was enough to anchor the occasionally fey leanings of their lead singer. With only a few exceptions, the tracks here fall into one of two categories: either riff-driven slabs of boogie ("Tie Your Mother Down", the proto-speed-metal of "Sheer Heart Attack"), or epic rockers ("Now I'm Here", "Seven Seas Of Rhye", the magnificent "It's Late"). "I Want It All" today sounds more like a manifesto than ever, while claims of their decline are silenced by the inclusion of some later classics--"One Vision" and "Hammer To Fall" (from The Works).
