 What do you mean, you've got all their singles? October 25, 2008
F. Lacey (England)
Doesn't matter how many 'best ofs' you buy, you still need to hear Queen and Queen II to understand what they were like when some of us were lucky enough to see them perform in university music venues before they became a supergroup. I loved this album then and I love it now. You don't need a video of their amazing stage performances to enjoy it just as music. Why haven't you bought it yet??
 Not bad for a debut...... April 25, 2008
Mr. Jonathan Robin Oxley (Northampton, England)
This debut album by Queen has never been a critic's favourite, but its not bad. The production sounds a bit cloudy and dated, but there are some classic tracks on here, namely Keep Yourself Alive, Great King Rat, My Fairy King (best track on here by a country mile) and Liar. The rest of the tracks are OK - no particular stinkers - but Queen truly found their niche on the 3rd album, Sheer Heart Attack.
The debut album to end all debut albums January 22, 2008

There is nothing patchy about this album whatsoever. All tracks are solid gold especially keep yourself alive. Queen and Queen II were queens best ever albums and this makes for fantastic listening. You cant help but get in to it. For the price you cant go wrong.
I'm not a Queen fan but I love this one February 24, 2007

Before Queen found their feet and decided to be a flambouyant, slightly glam and later a tongue-in-cheek rock band, Queen were churning out well-crafted no-nonsense heavy rock classics.
This album is a mixture of ballads (Doin' Alright) and classy heavy metal (Liar and Great King Rat).
The whole effect is far less pretentious than their later offerings, and a bit unsure of itself but great fun, nasty and loud.
You cant beat Queen November 20, 2006

I am massively into Queen and have been since I can remember, so when I started buying albums I started with big hits like "A Night At The Opera" and "A Day At The Races", but when I came across this album I was amazed. It has touches of Led Zepp and Sabbath about it that make it, for me, one if not the best album they made. If you arent particularly into their later stuff but enjoy a bit of seventies rock, you cant beat Queen.
