ClaudeS.Dec 22, 2008Don't compare it with the old band... this new combo is definately worth a listen. They do make the Cosmos rock.

IvanK.Dec 21, 2008I was expecting the intensity of Queen's older work, but this new album is a gray, muddy pool of slime. Call it a black hole.

IngieB.Nov 24, 2008I can see having a bit more interesting and mature lyrics on some of the songs, but mostly this album does rock, and swing and even has a bluesy feel. I really love the voodoo song, mostly because it

TylerBNov 22, 2008This is NOT Queen. It's not supposed to be Queen. It's an entirely new band, and the Cosmos do indeed rock.

JohnP.Nov 21, 2008HI: It's just music for God's sake said Freddie Mercury. Just look at all the former great bands that don't have it anymore, should I list them? Compared to the Pretty People crap that is out there this is a masterpiece, Long live Tonal Harmony!

BelindaBNov 21, 2008This would have gotten a 10 if it hadn't been for Warboys. I personally am not fond of that one. The rest, however, ROCKS!! I love this album and can't wait for them to tour state-side again!! I just saw the Ukraine concert, and they're even better now than they were in '06!!

JeffH.Nov 3, 2008Since I saw Queen opening for Mott the Hoople in Memphis, TN on April 20, 1974 I've been in love with the band. I've read some pretty crappy comments about this album but I loved Freddy and I really like this album. I haven't seen any classic rockers putting anything out close to this, think about it!!!!

AndrewS.Nov 2, 2008This is not Queen, not Bad Company. It is something new and very cool. It is addictive rock and roll, and fresh but old school at the same time. Forget the critics. This band works.

TGOct 31, 2008What is wrong with good old fashioned Rock? Its not like there is anything out there better. I swear people just can't let go and have a good time anymore. Its rock and roll enjoy!! and let the Cosmos Rock.

MarcosN.Oct 31, 2008Sorry but this is not the old Queen we are used to hear. Rodger's voice doesn't fit with the old songs, and to make him kind of be useful to the (new) band they had to try something different, and it didn't work. It sounds more like a bad Bad Company album than anything Queen ever did, even the worst stuff.

KeithA.Oct 31, 2008People, Freddie is dead! I mourned as much as anybody out there, maybe more. But let these musicians move on with their careers! It's not a bad album. No, it's not the Queen of old, but you've got to get over it.

zippychimpzippychimpOct 28, 2008I was the biggest queen fan growing up. I even bought all the solo albums from Freddie, Brian May, and Roger Taylor. This, however, is an abomination. Dumb lyrics, weak melodies...embarrassing. They are pissing on their legacy. On behalf of all Queen fans, PLEASE STOP!

What an astronomically bad parallel universe. Queen's star is dead.
-
As with a lot of The Cosmos Rocks, you listen to Warboys boggling that Queen--famously intelligent men--didn't at any point notice that the lyrics were stupid, trite, a bit offensive and bound to have an undermining effect on whatever musical efforts they put behind it.

MojoOccasionally they stumble, as on the clunky 'Warboys.' But with Rogers imperious, Queen's second coming is vindicated. [Oct 2008, p.100]
