To avoid any more comments:
Queen II - I think - is the best album of Queen.
What do you think?

Uh..yes?
Well... it's not a stupid question. In fact it's not a question at all.
Great album...great conversations...
Just opening up a subject...

And another reason why I don't like newbies. Opening TWO topics with an empty opening.
The first two Queen albums are fun when you're like 10 years old. All this talk of rats, kings, queens, fairy fellows, ogres. And I remember thinking March of the Black Queen was about ants.
Yeah, maybe, but if you try to leave the lyric rubject apart for a little while, you'll see that there is a freshness, a strenght an impact coming out of every single track on these albums that even Queen have hardly been able to re-create in their following albums...
... Apart from that, my favourite one is A Day at the Races.
And you, OGRES, CANNIBALS, FROGS, don't be unkind with ladies!!!!

Who knows? Did you ever think that those things could be metaphors?
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
amin to that
Sorry?
it's a great album, it's on my top 5.
I should clarify.. I was just stating how I felt about it when I first heard these early Queen albums when I was 10/11. I loved the music and the pictures they painted in my mind.. even if they were the result of my confused and immature little head :)
I still love Queen II. In fact it ranks right up there in the top 15 studio albums of Queen for me.
;)
No, really I love it.. just wanted to clarify that I wasn't stating that it was silly in any way.. that's just the way I saw it way back then.

Good point, Whirled Peas, I thought you meant something like that...
This is a point I've missed: in fact, when I was 10/11, I wasn't able to understand lyrics at the first strike (English is not my native language, as you should have understood ;=)) and I was just listening to music like a cow, without catching the meaning... It was when I started learning English that everything became clearer in my mind, but I was already too grown up to take those songs as simple fairytales... I suddendly tried to read between the lines and so I can't share these "nostalgic" feelings with anyone of you...
Anyway, it is clear that Queen's songwriting, under the lyrics point of view, has changed a bit during the years (I would have been really astonished otherwise!!!)

You haven't heard Queen II until you've heard the full version of it.
13 tracks, not 11!

I love Queen II, although I didn't care for it the first time I heard it, but it grew on me. It definitely deserves the praise it receives.
