My Melancholy Blues - this is by far one hell of a track. Im not sure who said it on here before, but it always makes me imagine Freddie sitting in a smokey bar at a piano, no one really around, sitting at the piano, playing away. But, it is not falsetto... try Freddie's "Excersises In Free Love" - or perhaps the Bee Gees!?[/QUOTE]
Thats a better way to put it.
But he has the high voice throughout. I like the lyrics but it took a while for the song to catch on

Thanks much! Its definatly one of the best if not the best Queen Album, i say one of the best because it depends on the day you ask me, but theres never a day when i wont like this album. The diversity is amazing.

This is my fav Queen album. I'm not a big fan of Who Needs You or Get Down Make Love (although I like GDML live) but apart from those two, I would gave all the other songs a 4 or 5 out of 5.
It's Late is one of the best Queen songs ever and I think Brian really showed how great a songwriter he was on this album. 4 totally differant songs, all great.
Corse WATC is great because it must be the biggest anthem ever. Sheer Heart Attack is great and Spread Your Wings is another of Queen's best ever. Fight From The Inside is good aswell.
And My Melancholy Blues is the perfect end to the album.

Agreed

I'll keep my response short and sweet.
This album isn't one of the best Queen albums around but I have to admit that WATC is my favourite Queen 'hit' that there is and Spread Your Wings is my all time favourite Queen song (along with Hijack My Heart) so for that reason alone the album is still damn good.

WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS - Ah, well, what can you say? I love it, but it's wierd because I hardly ever listen to it. It just feels like one of those songs that no-one wrote, you know, it has always been there and you've always known it.
WE WILL ROCK YOU - Again, same as WATC. But, I mean, who writes a song like this? Only a genious could :)
SHEER HEART ATTACK - Not really my favourite song. It's a bit loud for me. But yeah, I still love it, becuse it shows how flexible Queen were in their songwriting.
ALL DEAD ALL DEAD - OMG, I love it!! It's so beautiful, it almost makes me cry, and always puts me down.
SPREAD YOUR WINGS - This is lyraclly (sorry for my english) one of Queen's best songs. It's just wonderful and Freddie's voice is so great, so much emotion. Love it.
FIGHT FROM THE INSIDE - Yeah, just like someone wrote before, this is a bit averege. Not bad, but not exactly an outstanding song
GET DOWN MAKE LOVE - First tine I heard this was on the Live at the bowl-dvd, and I thought it was great.It was just cool, and naughty :) Now, I don't really listen to it that much, but I still think it's good. But perhaps it's a bit heavy for me.
SLEEPING ON THE SIDEWALK - Haha, I laugh at this one really. It's a fun, not very big song, nice to sing along with.
WHO NEEDS YOU - I love this one, it's just nice, reminds me of Misfire. They kinda have the same spirit. Just a sweet little song.
IT'S LATE - OMG!! LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT!!!!!!! This is a perfect song, it's just perfect, I can't say one single thing that is bad about it. Everything is beyond words; the guitarriff, Freddies voice, the chorus, the lyric, the drums at the end, everything. What I really like about this song too, is the sort of pain ("when I'm bleeding deep inside" "is it just my sickly pride?") that this ong has captured. Not kust the lyric, but everything, it's so begging and painful, that it almost hurts to listen to it. One of my absolute favourites!

oops dunno what happened, but yeah, yeah...
MY MELANCHOLY BLUES - A nice close up, and it's just depressing and beautiful.
News of the worl over all? A very thrown-together album, wich I love. It's naked in some way, it has naked feeling over it. The bombast that was on ANATO is gone, and that is one of Queen's brillinaces. They never stop changing.

When we did our rendition of My Meloncholy Blues, I was having so much trouble holding the note that we had to do it one line at a time.....then I said "fuck it John, you sing the damn thing"
Veeeeeeeeery frustrating

I never get past get down make love because my shitty cd player couldn't take playing sheer heart attack (album) and news of the world. when i got my mp3 player i listened to sleeping on the sidewalk but never get around to the other songs. similar to the fact that to save batterys i skip top 10 hits and dragon attack on the game also i skip from let me entertain you straght to fun-it on jazz! i love Fun-it and can't wait to be insulted for my opinion.
I think News Of The World is a very good album, altough is the worst of the 70's.
It lacks elaboration and it has some baaaad songs in it.
Anyway, it has GREAT songs like We Are The Champions and Spread Your Wings.

News Of The World is one of my favourite Queen albums, probably #4 or #5 in the list...
This album shows Queen were first and foremost a rock band, and is their response to the punk movement at the time. Roger has said this album features a lot of heavy stuff in response to that, perhaps to remind people that Queen were still around and cool, maybe?
Having said that, the album does feature some lighter moments - My Melancholy Blues,Spread Your Wings, All Dead, All Dead & Who Needs You in particular provide a sharp contrast to the likes of Rock You, It's Late & Sheer Heart Attack; illustrating the versaility of the band.
Like the Jazz album, John's two contributions (Spread Your Wings & Who Needs You) once again show what a talented songwriter he is. Wings was the 2nd UK single from the album and should have charted a lot higher than it did at #34...a tremendously underrated song in my opinion and transfers seamlessly both live and on the BBC version, where it takes a new direction entirely.
Get Down Make Love is one of those songs you either love or you hate...I personally cannot stand this song, and find it cringeworthy to hear it, bit like Body Language, really.
Aside from Rock You, It's Late is the best track on the album...it has everything, an excellent riff to open and powerful vocals...
Melancholy Blues is an excellent ballad, another one of Freddie's gems and is a great closer.
No complaints here overall...

New of the world is probably my 6th favorite queen album, only behind the first 5 albums, and slightly ahead of jazz, the game, and innuendo. The album has no bad songs for me, my favorites are "champions" "spread your wings" and "get down make love," every song is ace. "my melancoloy blues" "it's late" are also favorites.
