Jazz

A superb album

Review Score:

(10/10)
Despite being almost forgotten by everyone, Jazz is a great album. It's one of the most diverse albuns on Queen's discography, only left-behind by "A Night at the Opera", Queen's masterpiece, in terms of diversity of sounds.

To have a look at the track is a good way to get to know the album:

1 - Mustapha - An arabic music, with some guitar-rock quite audible. Not quite good, but worth listening.

2 - Fat Bottomed Girls - A hit! However, the rocky stile of the track is a bit antiquated...

3 - Jealousy - A beautiful love ballad... How could this track be forgotten? One of my favourites!

4 - Bicycle Race - Magnificently made music! This one will rock you 'till you explode!

5 - If You Can't Bet Them - A good music, despite being not one of the best in this album. It's a rock track.

6 - Let Me Entertain You - Pure rock, a great music in live shows, like the one recorded in Montreal, in 1984!

7 - Dead On Time - Generally, I jump this track, as it is the most "heavy" in the album. However, is not a bad music, for fast rock lovers, Steppenwolf style.

8 - In Only Seven Days - Beautiful ballad... I almost fly when listening to this enchanting music!

9 - Dreamer's Ball - Another great music, remembering old balls...

10 - Fun It - In this one, Roger Taylor sings most of the vocals. Everytime he sings, musics get a heavier touch, and sometimes a strange one. But this one is good, mainly because Freddie also sings

11 - Leaving Home Ain't Easy - In the same style than "In Only Seven Days", only sung by Brian May. Quite beautiful one.

12 - Don't Stop Me Now - This one is the pearl of the album, one of the best tracks in all Queen repertory, and one of the best rock songs of all time! I listen to this one many, many times...

13 - More of that Jazz - Maybe the worst music of the album, cancelling not-so-well the original album.

My cd hasn't got the mixed versions but, even without them, is a great album, worth buying for any price!
