Day dop, we understand that a delivery man paid you a visit.
We also understand that you are enthusiast and started a thread on that.[/QUOTE]

"We?" Are you a politician?
A suggestion: Refer to yourself as "I" instead of presuming you speak on behalf of everyone... because you don't speak on behalf of everyone else.

But don't push it, we are not children, and the content of this thread is not your property or your responsibility.
In fact it should not concern you at all.[/QUOTE]

Don't push what? Oh, you mean don't point out when someone makes a straw man argument?
"We are not children", you say? No one else here has suggested they are a child, nor have I suggested anyone is, so what's the "we" all about? The only one arguing that they're not a child is you. Weird that you've brought that up for debate.
At no point did I think, say, nor imply that the content of this thread is my property nor responsibility, so why you've brought that up I don't know. All I'm responsible for here is what I write, and all you're responsible for here is what you write.
What "should" and "should" not concern me is my concern only. Not yours.

Dude, man, brother... you've started a thread full of promises and now you're arguing with dysan, while I am a troll.
It's an unexpected development, and I have the feeling that we are allowed to post on "your" thread as long as we agree with you.

Ah yes, the "we" crap again. As well as the mention that I have argued with someone else, as though they're not responsible for their part in that whatsoever. A cheap tactic you're using there.

Being as I've had all this straw man horseshit thrown my way, I'll make it clear...
I have no issue with anyone posting on this thread. It's a public forum, so to suggest otherwise is ridiculous."Allowed" doesn't come into it.
And unlike some, who resort to cheap tactics, I also have no issue with on topic disagreement. I do take issue with straw man arguments, blatant trolling, and cheap tactics though... y'know?

And regarding your "feeling", perhaps you might want to take note of some wise words by Carl Sagan...

I quote, "But I try not to think with my gut. If I'm serious about understanding the world, thinking with anything besides my brain, as tempting as that might be, is likely to get me into trouble.”

Of course, I can always leave here, It makes no real odds to me. But I'd be far from the first person who's left this forum due the trolling and shitty behaviour (which this forum is known for at this point), and I'll certainly not be the last. Eventually, the few remaining decent posters will leave.

I would've enjoyed discussing the album, but it seems some are so damn miserable with their lives, they want to project that onto everyone else.

What I am seeing here is just typical of Queenzone really. How about staying on topic instead? Wanna try that?

This was a great thread, but like typical QueenZone *bang, it's gone!

Let's just get back into the discussions of the topic.

Well just got my copy of Mr Bad Guy today from the Queen fan club, and to be honest i am disappointed with "Man Made Paradise" as the drums are distant and flat and if they were brought to the front they would need a lot more trebile and clarity,
Best noticeable track has to be "Foolin Around" i love the drums and percussion have been pushed to the front and you get a sort of Roger Taylor style drumming technique which is fab.
"My Love is Dangerous" has lost the annoying echo and brought Freddie's vocal to the front so that s a great improvement.
The rest of the album is just like the original to me.
Sad though because we know there is a Queen version of "Man Made Paradise" which was a reject from "The Works" album and i would love to hear that one day!

K770i, re:

>and you get a sort of Roger Taylor style drumming technique which is fab.

What didn't Brian and Roger just go in to the studio and re-record the whole thing? Oh, yeah, no "Written by Brian May".......

This daydop guy is almost as annoying as the Glamberts in the QAL threads if you criticized the tool. I only heard lmltnt and the MMP snippet. While i liked the first one i hate MMP. It was the best song on the album. The drums Sound flat as fuck. The original Sounds way more pompous than this Stripped back version which does not fit at all. Waiting for my copy but guess will have to wait a while as QP are never able to deliver on release date outside the UK. Send it a few days earlier you sad tossers

Your annoyance is your problem. Ask yourself why you're annoyed. The answer that doesn't lay blame on someone else will be the first step towards you dealing with your problem.
If you resort to personally attacking someone, instead of attacking the argument, it shows you're most likely all out of arguments. Plus, it makes for dull reading.

You're repeating the same argument about it sounding "flat", but in reality, the drums sound forward and punchy compared to the original. I understand that you like the 80s reverb sound on drums, but that doesn't mean that the new drums sound "flat".

Well said Makka .I cannot believe that once something is released,we have people moaning and groaning.For what it's worth,I have listened to it several times,and,in my opinion,it is a great improvement

I received the compilation to do a review and yes...Neil the bass player from "Queen" + Lambert replaced at least in two songs the original bass. In love me like there's no tomorrow and made in heaven...

Neil Fairclough has replaced the bass on 6 tracks- 2,4,5,7,10,11

Dont like the sound.

Barcelona album why not the 1988 version? Pffff


And the new Greatest Hits of FM is a overkill..

I think I recall seeing that in the booklet.

Great Pretender

Some interesting instruments popping up in the mix ...

LIKE!

I must say that just listening to it (Mr Bad Guy SE) on Spotify, even without reading your comments, I feel like buying the bloody thing. Didn't think I'd ever say that as Mr Bad Guy was the one I kind of gave up on looking for (mainly due to its unavailability, but also because I put it on par with Roger's and Brian's albums). But yeah, this sounds good! And let's face it, "Let's Turn It On" sounds fresh, even now, I think only one reviewer (from "Q", correct me if I'm wrong) ever noticed it. It's pretty odd, but many of these songs have got some newly enhanced freshness to them.

My orders (from Amazon) now say that they are being released on Oct 25th. TWO MORE WEEKS! Man!
