Actually Cosmos Rocks is in the CD player in my car all the time. Certainly far more often than Hot Space, Worksor AKOM.

Let's face it - Cosmos Rocks isn't a masterpiece or a magnum opus. It is however the most FUN album they've ever made in my opinion and it shows. The whole album flows really well from start to finish and it's definitely in my top 5 of favourite Queenalbums. Music doesn't have to be intelligent with clever lyrics, strange melodies or big choirs to be enjoyed.

When was the last time anyone listened to Flash Gordon or Hot Space all the way through here? I've listened to The Cosmos Rocks more than I've listened to Pink Floyd's The Wall or The Beatles' White Album. They're brilliant, but it's like watching Schinder's List from start to finish. When was the last time anyone here did *that* by choice (history classes don't count)?[/QUOTE]
It must be an attention span thing. I did that easily a few months ago. Hahaha. All 3 of those things, in fact.

I'd say it has a good, fun atmosphere (or at least portrays that they had fun while doing it) but not enough to justify it being on my computer for repeated listenings. I mean just because I get to hear Paul laugh at the end of a couple of tracks doesn't really make it an inclusive bonding experience with the band.

Actually, I confess that I did listen to The White Album from start to finish last month. A while back I got board and compiled all The Beatles original albums and singles (not the Anthologies or the BBC sessions) in chronological order onto 10 CDs. I listened to them all while playing Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic II: The Sith Lords, so naturally I listened to The White Album amongst all of those.
I don't think I've listened to The Wall all the way through since I was in high school. I've listened to tracks from it at different times, but I haven't put it on just to listen to it.
I haven't watch Schindler's List since it came out and I saw it in the theatre. It's the only movie I ever saw that had an actual intermission halfway through (Monty Python And the Holy Grail doesn't count!).

I have never heard anything more than a few minutes of a Pink Floyd song before falling asleep. It's great: the songs go on forever, but I don't. A mutually beneficial arrangement..

Obviously it means that 0 copies were sold but somehow people got a hold of 1500 units which were then bought back by EMI or Hollywood Records.
So it now makes sense but is still a stupid remark.

you have to consider the fact that H&H fans are not divided like QPR fans, basically everybody loves that band and the fact that they're touring.

I found the album to be very, very cheesy...
As for the White Album, if you take out Revolution number 9, it's quite listenable. It has many great songs, and a few that are just regular... OK, I'd skip Don't Pass me by as well.

Queen On Ice
I listen still, perhaps not too often, but enough to know that each time I do I love it that bit more.
THere are more songs on there that I don't like than any 'actual' Queen album, but for one thing, it's NOT 'actual' Queen, and for another there are some marvelous songs on there.
I certainly do not regret buying it.
I also saw Ukraine at the cinema last December and thoroughly enjoyed it, as did most of the audience - even though it was clear which were the Queen fans, which were the Paul fans, and which were both LOL. Plenty of young people there too.
What I don't like is the amount of posts/threads here and on other forums where people see it as some kind of CRIME and vilify all three members of the line up as being heathens who have blasphemed against all things decent.
At the end of the day, if you don't like the album, fine. If you didn't buy it because you just don't like the IDEA of it then you have issues. If you criticise it despite never having heard more than a few songs then you are a time waster.
