Great CD December 7, 2009
Vader (Helena, AL)
There are a few songs that are too far from the original, but most are really good.
An old queen fan. December 21, 2008

I'm not into alternative, even though this CD is done in an alternative style I still loved it. Every song on the CD is different than Queens but they still sound great. It was tons o fun trying to guess what would come next. had to take 1 star off - bicycle race was too much too take. Over all a must have for queen fans and alternative fans.
Get your Queen Fix Today December 2, 2008
G. YEO (Singapore)
I came across this and was mildly skeptical about the offering. After all, I already owned a Queen tribute album called "Dragon Attack" which was an unexciting rawk n roll cover album of Queen covers by rock bands.
Other reasons for my skeptism: (a) Queen is a hard act to follow, let alone copy; (b) the musical "We Will Rock You" was underwhelming and (c) Tribute albums rarely deliver on their own and are a mixed bag.
So I was pleasantly surprised when this was really good. It certainly passes the music test. We didn't have every artist trying to do a note for note (although some artists like Constantine do); and some people were trying to do Queen their way, like Gavin DeGraw who renders a soulful We are the Champions. The results are a well produced and listenable album for those of you who can't get enough of Queen and need your fix today.
But why this really works I suspect is simply, the strength of Queen's songs. After all, who ELSE would be able to write such rich material for other artists to draw from? It would be hard to go wrong. The youthful energy of the artists is also key to the album's success. We don't have other aging or wanna be rockers trying to replicate Queen tracks.
So all in all, this is a nice compilation and tribute to the Queen. The modern nuances are there, but the feel remains classic.
HIt & Miss, but the hits are GREAT! March 27, 2008

For everything I would have said, see the review by P. Baker-he literally said everything the way I would have said it.
Buy the album, the songs that are good are worth the price.
 Only two good songs May 7, 2007
Tara R. Anderson
The only songs I can stand listening to on this album are Rooney's amazing "Death on Two Legs" and Sum 41's surprisingly good "Killer Queen."
Joss Stone's "Under Pressure" makes me sick.
