No ....he's right in a way , the recording could've been a lot better
And I think they realised this when it was played live ...wich IMO sounds
much better. Either way QPL will of course NEVER release a polished
version of the album ...let alone ALL albums
 

yes ......

I disagree completely. It's Late is Brian's Bo Rhap.

No , to me Brian's masterwork is "The Prophet's Song"

well...this is a first ?

it's late... could have worked and blended nice on ANATO to JAZZ.

it's a 70's gem.

i guess in the end , it's a question of taste or generation gap ?...or or or ...?

for me, it's one of the best non-single song in the Queen catalogue.

recorded too quick ?

hummm...not at all !

it's raw and the seems to be the feel wnated.

It's a masterpiece.  Naturally, these things don't appeal to everyone.  I've met plenty of people who hate Bohemian Rhapsody.

yup...i knew a few who did not like BO-RHAP.

maybe they got more refined with time ?

It's late=brilliant.  NOTW is a pretty consistent album.  'M. blues' and 'it's late' are my two favs.  Every song is good or great, but if I had to pick a least favorite?..I guess sleeping on the sidewalk or fight from the inside. Again, even those songs are solid.

'It's Late' one of Brian's best songs, The Record company did a messy edit with the single release in USA I believe. If Queen and the Record company could agree a sensible edit where all the three parts segue nicely  it would sound brill even it were released today, but don't diss this song by putting it on a 'B' Side of a ambling average QPR Song, this song is off the Seismic Register - Great work on the Vocals by Freddie quite husky but a million times superior than Paul Rodgers. I like Galashiels will meet this buffoon at dawn for pistols to demand satisfaction just to finish off the job.

It's Late ... rubbish ???

can´t agree, dude

the very first time I listened to this song many many years ago I thought: "woooooooooooooooooooooow ....!"

And only great-great-great songs can generate such reaction. But of course that´s the good thing about music, one song can generate different reactions depending on the listener ... but seeing most of the responses in this thread, I guess we can confirm the majority of fans here think it is no rubbish.

Great meldoy, great vocal work, great guitar work. Beautiful song.

Rubbish?

What kind of fuckwit would say that "It's Late" is rubbish. Cunts like you need to be castrated and have their balls shoved up their arse. Why don't you fuck off and listen to Treasure Moment if you like that sort of pish. God, people like you make me sick to the pit of my stomach.



That said, I respect your point of view and it's been nice speaking to you.



Lots of love
fatty

"It's Late" is a great song. I love guitar in this song. Actually, I think it's a perfect example of why other artists performing Queen songs usually is a kiss of death.

I've got to agree with the original poster.

It's Late is not one of Brian's better songs. 

It is one of the better songs on NotW.  But the whole album was one of their weaker early efforts.
