I thought the drums and guitar sounded great. Really cool to have Stephen Hawking in there. Overall, lyrics were okay and Brian May's vocals were iffy, but he's kinda old, I felt Brian was trying to make his voice sound grittier. Loved his falsetto, especially after trying find clips of him singing in falsetto after reading that in early Queen he would sometimes sing the high part of harmonies (and some of the screams in Ogre Battle).

Brian’s solo shit ain’t worth a re-release. Let aline a box
Shhh grown ups are speaking
I really like the song. I always hear music first so am not going to listen to the lyrics too closely, but I like it. Thumbs up Brian. Like those harmonies. It's very Queen though which does do the unfortunate thing of making you imagine Freddie singing it which lessens it slightly as obviously the imagining is better... and then you imagine Roger on the drums and in those harmonies, and then John. But, I like it. Go Brian. Great start to 2019.

Tks Adam, I just noticed the two different versions yesterday when listening back to back the version at the YT Queen channel and then the one at the BM channel.
Not a bad song...but could’ve used more disco
Well how interesting...they just played this on WGRR in Cincinnati, OH.
Well, very exciting it is not. Dated production as per usual, sounds like a boring brother of Star Fleet. At least it's not too pretentious.
It might've been better if Roger had shared vocals with Brian.
