QUEEN WILL ROCK YOU![/QUOTE]
This is my whole point. Queen never has been a rock band (OK the first album because they hadn't developed themselves yet) but offered so much more next some great rock songs. I am fan of Queen because of that diversity and daring to explore new things. Even though Hot Space was a failure, I admire the guts that they had to do it.
So why get enthousiastic of only rock songs...and having the word 'rock' in the album title make people think Queen are a rock group.
Maybe their is a lack of talent writing songs like Freddie did? [/QUOTE]
Sorry sunshine, but that is ridiculous.
Queen has never been a rock band, well except for their first album? That definitely a misguided statement at best.
Their albums are chock full of rockers.
Hell even Hot Space had Put out the Fire.

Please read what I write. Queen certainly made great rock songs, maybe the best ever made. But apart from that, the band had so much more to offer than only those songs. I know that every album had one of more rock songs on it, but Queen is generally not known as a rockband, their music was too diverse.
And what I am affraid of is that the rock part takes the overhand on The Cosmos Rocks. Let's hope I am wrong, but songs like Still Burnin' were expected and I am not impressed. Let's hope the album is not full with that.

Don't worry, Sunshine, it's not going to be all rock. I heard they did some blues and folk, too.
This is worse than Time to Shine???Thank God I haven´t listened to it yet and I won´t.
Queen were essentially a heavy metal band that started playing pop. Listen to any concert and youll see.

De gustibus non disputandum. I think both tracks are brilliant.

Have to admit that this sounds pretty good - looking forward to the new album. Glad I set my slider to slightly earlier than the 51 minutes and got a great reminder of how much of a classic 'Aqualung' was!
Queen was certainly more of a rock band than a pop band.....even for the QPR dissers,Freddie sang heavy rock songs too right up to the the end for him....The Miracle and Innuendo had heavy rockers.....Queen does heavy rock better than heavy rock bands do...They also did lots of other stuff....I expect that on this album....What will be better on this album is not having tracks like Delilah, Rain Must Fall, Pain is so Close to Pleasure, Cool Cat.....etc....instead we may have some blues (not out of the norm - Queen did everything), and some completely new things....i.e. Time to Shine....
Don't like it. Especially the WWRY part. Very weak.
My love for Queen will never die, but after the 2 concerts I will be attending this tour, trading some roio's and voio's wich are still on my wanted list and buying some missing pieces for my record collection I will close the Queen book for a while.
No more "Queen" without Freddie for me... I'm completely done with it. First (at the end of 2004 / start of 2005) I thought this Q+PR thing was really great. I went to see them 6 times and enjoyed all of the shows. Finally seeing Roger and Brian perform together again was a dream come true. But now after nearly 4 years it's been enough IMHO. There's so much more interesting music to hear on record / see in concert / buy on LP out there.
Todays "Queen" are only glimpse of what they used to be...

I think Still Burnin' rocks! It's different but I'm still hearing the Queen touch.
Love that chorus, it's much more catchy than C-lebrity (wrong single?).
"I'm still a believer" in Brian, Roger and Paul, very much looking forward to the album and tour.

C´Lebrity IS the wrong single..........!
I agree with you....I'd rather have Still Burnin' as the single.....but C-lebrity is still a really good rockin' track
I'm still trying to digest this song. I do like it...This could definitely be a single as well.
