Love it.
Second only to ANATO, and it's a close call.

Queen II is a great album. I love listening to it, esp. that great guitar riff in Ogre battle and rad solos in the March Of The Black Queen.
oops forgot to right a message.
i love that album, it is very mystical and inspirational and very well blended and created! pure genius, which was followed by another album of sheer genius, being sheer heart attack (love that album!!)...i just read my message back, i confused myself ;D

I think all the songs on Queen II are masterpieces! Pure genius. Why don't we get any good new ideas in new music like this? This kicks (and most other old rock) kicks new pop and rock's butt! Who else would have thought of "The Fairy-Feller's Master Stroke"? Doing a song about a painting, pure brilliance! Very strange and perculiar, but that is what makes a great work of art rock!
I adore Queen II. IMHO, it is the best Queen album. Haunting, mystical, pure escapism. White Queen is my all time favorite Queen song, with Fairy Feller's Masterstroke a very close second. And I believe that The March of the Black Queen far surpasses Bohemian Rhapsody in every way. In short, I just love it.
i would say the best album by Queen, it's awesome!
This is w/out a doubt one of their finest hours. Sheer brillance in writing,arranging and performing. And yes I like Loser in the End as well. Lots of attitude in that song. Roger sounds great singing it. It is different from the rest of the album, but its a nice interlude between the intensity of Side White & the mind blowing epic saga of Side Black. I can only dream of what it would have been like to see/hear Queen perform it in its entirety
"Many people find it too epic and complicated..."
Damn their musically feeble minds.

Turned me into to a Queen Fanatic.
Queen II seems like one really long song or more like a classical composition...I would compare it favorably to Dvorak's Symphony No. 9 "From the New World" but hey, it's only rock n' roll... ;)
Possibility of a 30th anniversary re-issue I hear from MOJO magazine.
