Poor Review of The Cosmos Rocks from The London Times

The Cosmos Rocks

Rodgers, May and Taylor might sound like a law firm, but it's less misleading than Brian May and Roger Taylor passing off this sparkle-free set as Queen. Cosmos Rockin' sounds like boffins getting loose and the single C-lebrity is actually shallower than its subject. The daft Surf's Up School's Out, surely the cry of the Cornish educator, is better, as is the power ballad Say it's Not True. As slick pensioner blues-rock goes this is perfectly acceptable. But the odd Eastern scale aside, its charms rarely evoke the idiosyncratic sound of Queen.

No one asks Guns n' Roses from Velvet Revolver, although that's what they are, with a different singer.

Once again, those are the consequences of calling themselves Queen. They'll be judged as Queen, not as a new band. And they'll got to be the losers in the end.

Got admin - it doesn't sound like "Queen". It is a different band.

well if thats the case WHY are they still using the name QUEEN,QUEEN were 4 friends who had a passion for the music they wrote....brian,roger & paul are NOT QUEEN so why don't they use an original name of their own and not cash in on the name QUEEN like they have been what happened to "the brian may band" or "the cross"??? not making enough money so time to cash in and find a new way of making more money...oh let's use the name "QUEEN" oh let's help an has been get money for his pension

The press never like the Queen anyway, so why should Q+PR be bothered.

Whether the band was called Queen, Q+PR or Green Onions, they would have got the same reception.

Having said that, I do hate C-Lebrity and am not expecting much from this new album.

green onions.christ theres a name from an age long ago..touch of booker t

i have a copy of the cosmos rocks(saturday girl in woolies didnt realise wasnt on sale yet lol) and i think its fucking magic.

who gives a crap what some news writer has to say, probably more into westlife,all i care about is my copy is on its way along with my concert tickets like David i think its brilliant !!!

This is a news item? So what... Queen always got bad reviews. This is nothing new.

You're missing the point.

They may sound like a different band now, but why did they have to sound like such a bad one?

Hasn't every album gotten bad reviews? There is no such thing as a Criticology degree. It's some opinionated and miserable piece of shit who gets to criticize for a living. Critics hate the music and movies I like. So screw them. Dont even bother reading them. Let's not forget how the media and critics went after Freddie

Nothing wrong with my ears. Sorry you don't like it, but I do.

The new album is great...the individual songs and the whole album....and they just rocked the Ukraine....it is "Queen and Paul Rodgers" so it is a different name.....sounds better than Green onions....and why the heck would they call themselves something different after founding Queen anyway...
