Queen - Jazz (1978)

Re: Queen - Jazz

Dreamers Ball and Leaving Home Ain't Easy are my favorite tracks on the lot other than Don't Stop Me Now. Dreamers has that charming drunken, vaudeville feel to it while Leaving stirs nostalgic thoughts.

Deacon has the best pop feel of the quartet IMHO. Have an excellent copy of the LP that I have maintained all these years plus a Japanese pressing with an obi. Then there's the poster...

Very interesting, musically "mottled" album. In generally, "Queen" was never (sic!) released frankly bad albums.

I like the album but I I definitely agree that it was the end of an era and the beginning of a change in the songwriting, gone is the prog oriented sound and the hooks were becoming more and more commercial-ish. Still, it has some legendary tracks on it, but I wish they wouldve released their Live album after Day At The Races and before this album.
