Queen is a favorite band of mine, so when I heard that they were doing a new album I was very interested. Queen without Freddie Mercury seemed like a terrible idea, and unfortunatly it is. The new singer Paul Rodgers sounds very generic rocker to me, his voice doesnt have the epic quality and scope that Freddie's had. The songs sound either too silly even by Queen standards or just plain dull and derivative. If I was judging this as a non Queen album I might like it a bit more, but unfortunatly this is Queen, but alas friends Queen died a long time ago and I dont think they should have been brought back from the dead without their star singer.

Overall I give it a 5 out of 10
