In the tradition of 1975's A NIGHT AT THE OPERA, NEWS OF THE WORLD solidified Queen's position as '70s rock gods while expanding the group's vision through an eclectic batch of tunes. The album is primarily known for the anthemic medley "We Will Rock You/We Are the Champions," which would grace sporting events worldwide for decades to come. Like OPERA, though, there's more to this album than the blockbuster hit. The Roger Taylor-sung "Sheer Heart Attack" veers damn close to punk. "Get Down, Make Love" is a funky, vamp-driven number that merges "Whole Lotta Love"-style effects with a brazen sensuality that could make Prince blush.
Freddie Mercury indulges his cabaret fantasies with the supper club cha-cha of the Spanish guitar-laced "Who Needs You." Brian May sings the mournful, folkish piano ballad "All Dead, All Dead." Things get downright Cole Porter-ish on the jazzy torch song "My Melancholy Blues." Once again, Queen prove themselves to be capable of much more than the arena rock many take to be their stock in trade.
Audio Remasterer: Kevin Metcalfe.

News Of The World Music Review
Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars)   List All 8 Reviews THEIR BEST ALBUM EVER!!
Although it is "OPERA" that is most remembered now and "THE GAME" being their most polished hit filled effort, QUEEN'S "NEWS OF THE WORLD" stands above the rest.
From the beginning with 'We Will Rock You', the group gets your attention and never lets go until the final note. Every track keeps the listener involved without taking itself too seriously. Indeed, you can sense that the band was having fun recording this album simply based upon the different changes within. You have the Hits, the Rockers, the Ballads...while still maintaining the wit & trademark style QUEEN became famous for. Track after track reveals the confidence and maturity of a band that had nothing to prove but still had a few surprises left. By the end of the album, any questions anyone had were answered.
If you're looking for the ultimate album QUEEN produced, look no further. "NEWS OF THE WORLD" is their best then and now.

Nothing else needs to be said about this album other than that it is created by angels. Reaching rock and roll and operatic singles in one album. The variety of this album is outstanding. From songs to "We Will Rock You" to "Who Needs You."
A must have for anyone that has a taste in music.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No 1 of 1 found this helpful. My favorite Queen album
I am a big Queen fan, and this is my all time favorite album from their catalouge. Everything about this album is great. I love the outer and inner cover artwork. This is probably the only Queen album where I like every song. "We Will Rock You" and "We Are The Champions" are the best songs. "Sheer Heart Attack", "Fight From The Inside", "Get Down Make Love", and "It's Late" are the best examples of the hard rocking Queen. "Who Needs You" stands out as the most unique track. "Sleeping On The Sidewalk" is a terrific blues song. "All Dead All Dead" and "Spread Your Wings" are great ballads. I absolutely love "My Melancholy Blues". It is one of my all time favorite soft songs that Queen has ever recorded. The 1991 remix of
"We Will Rock You" is fantastic. This is my first pick for anyone who is just starting to listen to Queen.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No One of their best!
This is one of their best, and I'll tell you why. To start we see this album take off with the cover a very dark yet glorious statement. Then we roll through the songs and the standouts on this album is of course We Will Rock You/We Are the Champions, Get Down Make Love, Sheer Heart Attack, Its Late, and All Dead, All Dead. A very bombastic album, as this is the only way Queen can do things. I could go on with great things about this album but do your self a favor, buy this or the Crown Jewels set for these timeless peices of music.q
