Although Queen's GREATEST HITS and CLASSIC QUEEN compilations did an excellent job of collecting all of the band's most familiar hits, many key album tracks were left out due to time restrictions. The problem has finally been resolved with QUEEN ROCKS. Although there is some overlap with the two aforementioned albums. this serves as a good introduction for newcomers, and longtime fans will notice a pair of tracks that are unavailable anywhere else--a "1997 Rocks Retake" of 1991's "I Can't Live With You" and a brand new composition by the three remaining Queen members, "No-One But You (Only The Good Die Young)."

QUEEN ROCKS is not comprised completely of obscurities, however. Chances are even casual fans are already familiar with "We Will Rock You," "Keep Yourself Alive," and "Fat Bottomed Girls." But overlooked tracks far outnumber the hits, which isn't a bad thing at all. A couple of politically-charged anthems--the anti-nuclear arms "Hammer To Fall" and the anti-gun "Put Out The Fire"--are highlights. So is Queen's answer to punk rock ("Sheer Heart Attack"), and a track which Metallica has covered ("Stone Cold Crazy"). QUEEN ROCKS proves definitively that this legendary band could rock with the best of them.

Rocks, Vol. 1 Music Review

Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars Queen Rocks---Title says it all
Great bunch of Queens heavier recordings. Good mix from many of their CD's. If you don't have alot of Queens recordings, this is a chance to hear some of the stuff you don't hear on the radio, and you may become a fan like me.

5 stars Though containing many dupes, still has a purpose
Represents the best of Queen as a hard-rock unit. Couldn't find a song I didn't like on this one.

5 stars The Ultimate Rock Album From The Masters Of Rock
This is one of the most underrated compilation albums released in the last 10 years. It combines hard rocking Queen classics and lesser known tracks from their first album in 1973 up until recently with a remix of a 1991 song and a new 1997 dedication to Freddie Mercury. A must have for any serious hard rock fan wishing for the glory days of rock to return and for any interested in what the Queen sound REALLY was.
