The Cosmos Rocks (Bonus Track Version) – QueenView More By Queen Our ReviewAnyone remotely familiar with the music of Queen understands that filling the shoes of the late, great Freddie Mercury is pretty much impossible. Mercury had arguably the most vocal control and dynamic range of any classic rock 'n' roll singer. But to be fair you can't approach listening to The Cosmos Rocks expecting the Free/Bad Company frontman Paul Rodgers to replace Mercury. And in fact, listening to this album it's obvious that Queen never intended to replace him. Instead, the band has crafted songs to fit with Rodgers' own unique voice and it definitely works. Brian May and Roger Taylor import their glammy, triumphant, stadium rock leaving plenty of loosened room for Rodgers to get his signature boogie on — and their chemistry blends like chocolate and peanut butter. Rodgers' vocals sound as young as they did on Free's "All Right Now" or Bad Company's "Ready For Love" and Queen still rocks as hard as they ever did, even getting their flawless, airtight harmonies soaring on songs like "Still Burnin'" and especially on the intro to "Call Me" which pulls from the taut power pop that Queen played on The Game and on 1980's Flash Gordon soundtrack.. Customer ReviewsNew and Classic and Still Evolving! (5 stars)Cosmos Rockin' ...a classic light hearted rock tune leaves you singing along and wondering why. Time to Shine ...good tune, inspirational. Still Burnin' ...good but not great, but you wont skip it. Small ...the first absolute gem on the album, all the elements of these artists that come together shine on this one. Warboys ...a real rocker with a great message, another stud of a track. We Believe ...another inspirational "Queen" Where's Queen? (2 stars) I hear a lot of Paul Rodgers on this album, not much Queen. I guess it's not surprising as the irreplaceable Freddie is no longer with us and John Deacon is smart enough to take a pass on whatever this is. Basically, you have 1/2 of Queen + Paul Rodgers. I agree with other reviewers that as a Bad Company album this isn't bad, but it sounds like no other Queen album and I've been a long time fan. I was OK with the tour, the live album and I miss Freddie... (3 stars) I feel as if people are a little to eager to welcome back Queen... I isn't bad persay, but I can't listen to it becuase all it makes me think of is how extraordinary Freddie Mercury was.
