Album Review

The Black Parade My Chemical Romance
"Parent repellant"
Not many bands have influenced alternative rock let alone even spawn their own sub-genre the way My Chemical Romance have.Their new album titled 'The Black Parade' is no exception to this and it shows on the quality of the tracks.Many would assume MCR were 'Emo' just by sampling this album but the truth couldnt be any further from it.The band deliver a classic rock anthem ('welcome to the black parade') with a exceptional video to back it up.They bring a whole new meaning to ballards ('I dont love you' 'cancer') whilst still delivering a moving message to the listener and amongst all these they still bring exceptional rock ('famous last words') to the roster of brilliant tracks that make up 'The Black Parade'.

Album Review

Led Zeppelin IV Led Zeppelin
"Timeless"
Led Zeppelin IV (4 symbols) is the forth album released from Led Zeppelin and is the pinnicle of their career.
Led Zeppelin IV contains some of Zeppelins most famous songs such as "Black Dog","Rock and Roll","When the levee break's" and the landmark of their career "stairway to Heaven".
Although "IV" only contains 8 tracks,this album has a lot of quality tracks on and all the songs couldn't be called "fillers" if you listed to them all.
Led Zeppelin's IV remains one of the most influential Rock albums of the 20th century as well as Led Zeppelins best work and can't be missed for any reason.

Track Review

These Are the Days of Our Lives
"Crowd-pleaser"
The first thing people think of when they think of Queen is "Bohemian Rhapsody" but these people are forgetting that Queen had so many more great hits but they just wern't as famous as "Bo rhap"
"These are the days of our lives" is just about the most beautiful and moving song's queen ever did.
Its my favorite song of all time and the video accompanying the single is the last video ever filmed of Freddie Mercury before his tragic death in 1991 which makes this song seem even more emotional.
The song is most memorable for the last line in which Freddie stops singing and utters the words "I still Love you".
These are the days of our lives will always be a Queen favorite and will be known for years as a great song.

Queen

Album Review

Queen Queen
"Underappreciated"
"Queen" is the self titled debut album by the band of the same name, Queen.
Although you might not think much of it as compared to albums like "Sheer Heart Attack" and "A Night at the Opera", it is still a worthy debut album for a band so early in their career.
Highlights of the album include "great king rat", "Liar" and "keep yourself alive".
"Queen" may not have as many hits as compared to the later albums but this is still a very good debut album in its own right.

Album Review

A Night at the Opera Queen
"Masterpiece"
By 1975 Queen were already on their way to the top of the music buissness following the success of "Sheer Heart Attack" Its no surprise that they followed on to do the most successful album of their career.
"A Night at the Opera" stands alone as one of the greatest albums of all time and everything from the songs to the front cover is done excellently.The album contains some of Queens most famous hits including "Your my Best friend","Im in Love with my Car", "the Prophets song" and the best song on the album "Bohemian Rhapsody".
A night at the opera is a true stand alone album and definetly deserves a place as one of the greatest albums in the history of music.
