"Well...I actually like this album title. It's sweet how Brian finally got an album with a name he wanted."
I have a hard time to believe that Brian would have come up with this name, he just doesn't seem to have humour enough.
I believe it must have been Paul or Roger that have suggested this album name as a joke of Brian's astronomy PhD and book.
Anyway, I have to agree it's quite awful.

Do you think that without Thomas Edison we would not have light pulp now?
Or without Wright brother we would not have Boing-747 now?
Or without Galileo Galilei we would still think that the sun circles earth?
etc.
I don't think so, if they haven't made them, someone would have come up with these inventions quite soon after. Many times in the history of science, someone else have been close to breakthru with similar invention than those those that are famous.
The music was also evolving and existing before Beatles, so without them, someone else would have take their place. There could have easily been Zeps,Pink and Queen without Beatles ever existing.
I'm not trying to deny the significancy of Beatles, but thit is just how life, sciences and cultures work and evolves.

Do you think that without Thomas Edison we would not have light pulp now?
Yes. He didn't invent the lightbulb, he perfected the filament that allowed it to burn longer. He was a great inventor but also a real shark who routinely stole ideas from others.
Or without Wright brother we would not have Boing-747 now?
Yes. Even they gave credit to numerous earlier sources of design and study (including Leonardo DaVinci). I think they were the first to add "controls" on the flight and certainly advanced aviation greatly, but they didn't pull the idea out of thin air.
Or without Galileo Galilei we would still think that the sun circles earth?
Yes. Copernicus had documented this in the 16th century. Galileo championed it and was instrumental in proving it, but I highly doubt that we'd still think this if not for this one person.

So you mean that the poor bastard's been telling album titles to the rest of the band for more than twenty years and he always received back some muted laughs and Freddie kindly saying "Bri, shhh... back to guitar, please).

AHhahaha so sarcastic but made me laugh....XDDDD WAHAhaa..
Can't think of a better "worst" album title..XD
Ok maybe it will be simplier. "Greatest Cosmos Rocking Hits". Or maybe "Nothin really matters to Cosmos". "If i were THE SUN".

Yeah honestly i also like the title, though it sound kind of silly, but maybe only because we know that Brian is fond of astronomy. And it's really sweet-you see the title adn you think-oh, yes, it's Brian.

I'm naked.
While a number of factors influence whether an album/cd is successful or not, there's no doubt that the cover can make a difference. See Bryan Ferry's 'Country Life' for example (http://www.superseventies.com/ac26countrylife.gif) or the original Guns & Roses 'Appetite For Destruction' cover. Controversy sells, in other words. Can't imagine the cover of 'Cosmos' will have much of an effect one way or the other.
The name can also have an influence, especially if it's really naff --- and the 'Cosmso Rocks' is really, really naff. I'm surprised Brian hasn't used 'We Will Rock Two' (or 'Too' as the title of the musical sequel -- but give him time.
But I suppose the main worry I have with the new stuff, which I've been looking forward to until now, is how simple it all is. Say It's Not True and C-lebrity are basic, uncomplicated, 3-4 chord songs. The snippet from 'We Got the Cosmos Rockin' (or whatever it's called) is simple 12-bar. I expect a bit more from a 'guitar god' than this...

I have to say that I have been visiting Queenzone.com for the last 5 years frequently but haven't written much on it like others.
I have been worrying about The Cosmos Rocks. Yes the title is awful but it is only a title. I am worried about the strategy that Queen is chosing now. Since Freddie died, the amount of 'rock' related releases has increased a lot. I mean 'Queen Rocks' from the nineties but also the whole Queen plus PR tour was rock orientated. The new single C-lebrity (again awful title) is a 100% rock song.
I am worried we are losing the musical richness Queen has offered us since 1970. We were able to listen to songs for example like Seaside Rendezvous, My Melancholy Blues, Body Language, Was it All Worth it and I'm Going Slightly Mad. All very varied musicly seen.
Given the album title and the past work, I am so terrified it'll be a rock album, just a plain rock album with standard songs on it like C-lebrity. That song sounds like you have heard it before but you can't define where...
I am hoping on some small songs, like All Dead All Dead or Leaving Home Ain't Easy but not only this ultra macho rock album, suitable for the US market. I am affraid it won't be exciting and new for our ears.
Just wanted to share that, are there any of you who have the same fear?
