Fear?
Good lord. The day I fear a musical release is the day I need to get some perspective.

yes, you know what i mean right. Sorry if I used one wrong word. I am just curious what people's opinion about this matter is, not about the word fear...

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.

I'm a little concerned also that the new album is going to be comprised of simple rock songs. I love rock music, but I didn't get into Queen because they played AC/DC-type riffs all the time. Sadly, I'm just not sure Brian May has it in him anymore to write (or play?) great music. the guitar solo on C-lebrity was not what I expect from a supposed "guitar god". Say It's Not True was pretty good, but the guitar was still a little bit "Brian May by numbers" Hope he proves me wrong.

Yes exactly, this is what I am also thinking. I hope we are wrong and C-lebrity was not representing the musical direction on the album. I guess we have to have some faith in the guys:)

Cosmos Rocks is bad, and Return of the Champions is an even cheesier title. Funny how Queen were much cooler when they were intentionally camp; now it's not just the vocals that are missing, but also a sense of humor - a loss that may prove more serious in the long run.
I'd bet my money that Cosmos Rocks will be a straightforward hard rock album. That's what Brian likes, that's what Paul can sing. It's not necessarily a bad thing. The new line-up doesn't live up to the old Queen, but it has the potential to be a good hard rock act in its own right.
C-Lebrity has more problems than the bad title; it is an ugly song. It's a mean, humorless, ugly bash. It lacks that good vibe of Queen. Freddie himself said "It destroys the soul to hear that you're all hype, that you have no talent, and that your whole career has been contrived."
But for my part, I'm still glad the guys are doing what they're doing. Of course that at 60-something years of age and following Freddie's tragical death they can't be as good as they were in 1975, idealistic and innovative and bursting with energy. So they make (more) blunders; so they write simpler songs. Big deal. When I'm 60, I'll be feeding pigeons in the park and grumbling about the rain. Brian and Roger are on stage playing rock 'n' roll. And for that they have my respect.

I'm still wondering what Brian's definition of 'epic' is, as he used that word once or twice while describing the new tunes.
Haven't heard anything 'epic' yet so I'm a bit worried. I quite liked what "The Call" could have been. I think the rhymes were a bit obvious and the shouty delivery wasn't so great, but the orchestrations 'n' stuff were among his finest.
(That is, if he actually wrote them).

agreed... The Call has fantastic orchestration, that suit well with the guitar cascates. Hope it will be in the album
Let me add something 'epic' for you to consider. Queen are not Queen without Freddie - Brian and Roger should mastubate my ego and I'll sing for them and give them 'epic'.

I know you're probably a dummy account but I'll indulge you anyway.
I didn't mention the name 'Queen' in the post you responded to. What do you know - I was too busy speculating about the music to give a shit what the label would be.

This isn't funny! I'm Treasure Moment - cut this out - I'm the only one here that's permitted to be narrow minded rude and totally intolerant to any one else's opinion.
A lot of girls around this are refer to themselves as 'Cosmo Girls'... maybe Brian, Paul, and Roger refer to themselves as 'Cosmo Grandfather's'
