Jazz – QueenView More By Queen Our ReviewBy 1978 the pop music landscape had fractured into many thriving subgenres, and with Jazz, Queen was determined to try a bit of everything. The band cooked up some of the thickest riffs of the era with “Fat Bottomed Girls,” “Let Me Entertain You” and “More of That Jazz,” with their tongue planted firmly in cheek. “If You Can’t Beat Them,” “Dead On Time” and “In Only Seven Days” share more than a little with the era’s reigning AOR kings, Boston. Despite their talent with rock anthems and power-pop singles, Queen are at their best when camping it up, and the peculiar theatrics of “Mustapha” and “Dreamer’s Ball” are essential if only because the band is having so much fun. Still, it is the magnificent “Bicycle Race” that provides the consummate blend of wit, mischief and surging glee. The 2001Deluxe Version includes the single edit of “Fat Bottomed Girls,” an instrumental of “Bicycle Race,” a killer live version of “Let Me Entertain You” and a rudimentary acoustic take on “Dreamer’s Ball.”.

Queen is Excellent. Truthfully, this Album is not as well known because of its absency of greater known hits, but it does not mean that one can't love this album. I suggest "Bicycle Race", "Fat Bottom Girls" , "If You can't Beat Them", and if you like the Beastie Boys then you will like "Fun it". Don't get discouraged if it looks like a bad album with a lot of Queen fans giving it hig BiographyFormed: 1971 in London, EnglandGenre: Rock Years Active: '70s, '80s, '90s, '00s Few bands embodied the pure excess of the '70s like Queen. Embracing the exaggerated pomp of prog rock and heavy metal, as well as vaudevillian music hall, the British quartet delved deeply into camp and bombast, creating a huge, mock-operatic sound with layered guitars and overdubbed vocals. Queen's music was a bizarre yet highly accessible fusion of the macho and the fey. For years, their albums boasted the motto "no synthesizers were used on this record," signaling their allegiance with the legions...
