Band Forever
Roger's Drum sound is very tinny. I would prefer the drums to have a rounder sound. I know the technology was what is was back then but I am disappointed with the production. Queen had a big sound yet their records sounded like they were recorded in Mono instead of Stereo. Live Killers is absolutely dire! Performance, Sound and Production. The only savers are the brilliant improv on Now I'm Here and Spread Your Wings.

Probably my favourite

Are you serious? Listen to Bicycle Race and tell me it sounds like a mono record.

The first minute or so of Mustapha is in mono which is why there is such a big impact when the band kicks in proper. Just sayin'

I love Bicycle Race it has that quirky British feel about it. My main issue is the sound not the music. If you had modern studio techniques with superior sound quality rather than loudness working out on this album it would be more popular. There is also mono on FBG guitar intro which is naff imo.

Indeed. I love that song and especially as an opening track! When listening to the album for the first time I thought "why does this sound like shit, is there something wrong with my amplifier" and of course I turned the volume up. Then the guitar kicks in and the whole room explodes! That must have been deliberate trolling from Queen, I'm sure many were wondering what the hell is wrong with their equipment!
As a whole, I like the album, and I think only the songs from Roger are weak. I even like In Only Seven Days! But I agree, the album suffers from quite dry sound and it is quite inconsistent. It sounds more like a collection of different songs than one consistent album, like the albums from Queen II to Races.

I too was astounded by that comment! If there was ever a band after the Beatles that experimented with sound placement in the stereo field, it was Queen.

Haha. .. Queen trolling.

It really works on normalizers too. Some jukeboxes have em.
Its a good way for me to utilize the scream at ITLOTG ...I play White Man just prior to it *(retaining the volume swell in order to normalize the thinning sound fade out.
Then BAM!
:-D
