Trampled Underfoot is way too good to sound similar to Staying Power, IMO.

I would like if side 2 of HS had been recorded and produced with a heavier sound. Despite being a die-hard 70s fan, everything on side 1 except BL works for me. I absolutely LOVE Staying Power.

Don't be talking smack about SL! The ride out solos on the live version still kill me every time - and yes you CAN waltz to it.

Sweet Lady is extremely underrated. Instrumentally it's probably among the trickiest things they ever did - complete with the double time section at 260 bpm being significantly faster than any of their other studio performances by some margin, including SCC. I keep coming back to this: [url=http://]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UW3L9BphQgY[/url]
Just listen to Deacon's bass work from 2.50 and onwards. And boy, were Taylor's double strokes on the bass drum tighter than the year before on SCC, even though the pace is faster. I'm thinking he probably got his bass drum speed up while playing SCC live on their SHA tour.

It's certainly got a magnificent demonstration of their skills as instrumentalists, but the song itself is not even on Brian's top fifty or the band's top one-hundred in my opinion.
Vocals (both lead and backing) are alright but there are ten songs on the same album where they're much better.

Good point - perhaps it should mainly be enjoyed for being a display of their instrumental abilities rather than being a good song.

Hot Space is in the top three of Queen "Pig's Ear" category[/QUOTE]
I'm pretty sure it's in the top 1, but that doesn't mean it could not be made better / less bad with some (ok, a *lot*) of retouching.[/QUOTE]
loads of re-writing (who'll do that for the Freddie-written songs? and some of the instrumentation and arrangement is fekking abysmal.
actually - i take it all back - Hot Space can definitely be improved - but only by sealing the mastertapes in concrete and dumping them at the bottom of the Mariana Trench.
