Not too bad, just listen with an open mind

"Sadly, a lot of Queen fans just don't have an open mind (like the other reviewer on this page who I doubt has even heard this album.)I just got the CD today and really, it's not too bad. My favorites were "It's A Hard Life" which reminded me of Nine Inch Nails' cover of "Get Down Make Love". While the song has been completely reworked, it still retains Freddie's lyrical intent."Under Pressure" is almost trance-like. VERY relaxing stuff, very pleasent to listen to."We Are the Champions" comes off more like KMFDM which is kinda cool.Anyway, if you're an OPEN MINDED Queen fan who enjoys or would be interested in listening to the band's music done in a completely new fashion, give "Queen of Rock" a try."

Freddie is missing

"Several tracks make this album worth listening to... It's A Kind of Magic and one of the Another One Bites a Dust mixes are good workout/running songs. Most tracks are pretty interesting. You quickly realize, however, that the main strength of the original songs was Freddie Mercury singing. This album comes up way short if that is what you're after. Also, if you're looking for something dance-ish, this electronic tribute is not techno. But if you're a Queen fan and you're looking for something interesting, go for it!"
