that´s because only Brian owns the distinctive Queen guitar sound and he has always been inclined towards playing with vocal harmonies too. You don´t find anything of that in any Roger solo album, so:
an album by Roger + Paul + little input from Brian = very little Queen (I mean "Freddie" Queen) sound
Anyway, I liked the album since it was released, and I listened to TCR again yesterday after a couple of weeks without doing it and I E-N-J-O-Y-E-D it more than ever.
And you can find Queen sounds in Cosmos Rockin´; and many more in Still Burnin´; and many more in We Believe.
Just my opinion

You are right, Vali. I also enjoy even more the album each time I go back to listen to it. You are also rigth about the reasons for the different sound of the album. If the information that came trough to us is correct, it had less input from Brian than usually. That made the album sound less "queenie" than we would have wanted it too. Anyway, I thank God each and every day that they even consider recording and touring at this stage of their lives.

It's good to see some positive comments on We Believe. I enjoy that song greatly. I had such low expectations of this track when I heard the first 30 second clip but when I heard it in full I loved it and have done ever since.
Maybe it's because English is not my native language that the preachy lyrics don't bother me at all.
I love the build up that leads to the chorus and the chorus itself.
Favorite tracks from day one: Cosmos Rockin', Time to Shine, We Believe and Some things that Glitter.
Tracks that grew on me: Small, Surf's Up and, to a lesser degree, Through the Night.
small reprise is a perfect ending to a great album.
I hope they make a new album, maybe with more input from Brian now.

Same here, Wiley, as for Through the Night. That is a track that I always skipped at first, but I'm listening a lot to it latelly. I would rank my faves like this, even though Through the Night is getting more plays than any of them nowadays:
1 - Some Things That Glitter
2 - Surf's Up / Still Burning (tie)
4 - Runaway (iTunes exclusive)
5 - Cosmos Rocking
6 - C-lebrity
7 - Through the Night
8 - Say it's not true
9 - Voodoo
10 - Small
11 - Call me
12 - Time to Shine, Warboys, We Believe, Small Reprise (Tie)

We Believe is one of the most beautiful new songs I've heard in a long time, and one of Queen's most beautiful songs ever.

For those saying "TCR" sounds like a Paul Rodgers solo album, well, you clearly haven't heard any solo albums by Rodgers.

Finally somebody who know Paul's work :) Sounds more like Roger's work to me, but songs like We Believe or Through The Night could end up on any of Brian's albums

After reading your comments, I could imagine some PR fans moaning on a forum... "Queen PLUS PAUL RODGERS my ass, this sounds like a fucking Queen album, except it's got Paul's voice!"
Good point well made Raf!
I have to say that this certainly doesn't sound like a PR solo project, it's not nearly as bluesy as his material.

It certainly isn`t like PR project. I absolutely agree with you! It`s not like Queen either, it`s just good rock with some Queenish sounds.

Well, It have a Lot of Roger ( composition wise) and Brian (producing/arrangig). It sounds like Queen and, most important, have a lot of great Songs. One of them goes straight to the pantheon of Queen(and related) best ballads: Small. Roger's in great shape.
Cosmos Rockin' Is a Great Rock Tune, It could be a nº1 hit if it had Freddie on vocals, and could opened a period of trad. Rock revival if the band had the 4 members. On and on, it is just a matter of people(and press) doesn't wanting to give a chance on this album. I offered copies of this album to friends. Some didn't listen, as much as i insist ( and as much as it is easy to put on car cd player). Some of them gave it a listen and... totally love it!
Freddie die hards will kill me but i even have 2 friends who spot listening Queen album 'cos they're a bit tired of Freddie "Style", and got really hooked by this album(even making copies to other friends , and stuff like that).
