My favorite Queen album from the 80s with an even greater cover art.

Favorites:

- One Year of Love
- Who Wants to Live Forever
- Princes of the Universe

And the rest is great as well. Good album.

oh boy, 3 good reviews for a kind of magic....I have a feeling it's all downhill from here. not a queenzone favorite by any means......It's a mixed bag for me....Like all the their 80's stuff it could of and should have been better.  i'll start with the good.

the good ones
One vision
a kind of magic
Who wants to live forever?
Princess of the universe
one year of love

Average
Friends will be friends
gimme the prize

Bad ones
don't lose your head
pain and pleasure

I also like the cover art for some reason...pretty cool stuff.

Easily the worse 80's album!

What album do you like then?

Pain Is So Close To Pleasure is one of Freddie's finest moments.

aaaaaah ..... ok, not my fave of the entire discography but .....

AKOM was the FIRST Queen album I bought just after its release. Having met - and liked - the band a couple of years before with Radio Ga Ga and IWTBF I had no doubts and went for AKOM , falling inmediately in love with it and deciding to get the rest of the band´s albums ... and becoming a fan !

So, yeah, it´s not my fave album now but I really appreciate it for sentimental reasons.

And of course .... Princes Of The Universe is GREAT!!!!

Pure crap. The only good song is Who Wants To Live Forever

now that i disagree with....the album is a bit weak by queen standards but that doesn't make it crap.....the only crap here is you're stupid post.......go listen to that crap band metallica "st anger" the worst album of all time.

At first I liked it a lot. Now - this album dropped out of my favs. Who Wants To Live Forever and Princes Of The Universe are the best tracks on it.

I think there are some pretty good tracks (like every queen album), but the rest are just somewhat average, not bad though

Best: 
Who Wants to Live Forever
Friends Will be Friends
Gimme the Prize
A Kind of Magic

Worst:
Don't Lose Your Head
One Vision
One Year of Love
Princes of the Universe

     Whoa !, calm down you two, c'mon lads we're' all Queen fans here.
     Queens albums all have their idiosyncracies, generally their is no bad album, in my opinion 'dont lose your head is an excellent track from an excellent album.
    Once again i'll ask the same question  on QZ, 'Are you sure you like Queen ?
