    Yes, Forever is mostly redundant. But if that’s the only thing you have to say about it, then that’s a little unfortunate.

    This latest compilation unearths three tracks that Queen recorded with the late frontman.

    The hardcore fans might notice the difference but, apart from those three songs, there's not much reason for them to pick this up because Forever consists of songs they've purchased many times over.

    The blatant, stocking-filler money-grab of tagging these songs on to a quirky hits compilation (minus Bohemian Rhapsody) isn’t in the Christmas spirit.

    Unlike Led Zeppelin’s Mothership or any of the Kissology sets, Forever isn’t a particularly well organized compilation album, nor does it inspire listeners to go out and explore the band’s full catalogue the way the former two did.

This album also brings attention to several Queen songs that haven't gained any attention or love, as well as, bringing several remastered songs to the table. This album isn't suppose to bring anything overwhelming new, it was meant as a means to show that the band is still around, and show off any songs that the band felt was worth showing off. Expand
