Amazon.co.uk Review:
The idea of Free/Bad Company frontman Paul Rodgers taking the place of Freddie Mercury for a new Queen album is an odd one indeed. Where Mercury was flamboyant and knowing, Rodgers--who toured with Brian May and Roger Taylor in 2005--is way more weighty and grizzled. The resultant album, The Cosmos Rocks, sounds literally like Queen's gregarious musicality has been filtered through the wide-holed sieve of Bad Company's own blues-rock schtick. That said, the soundtrack brims with multi-tracked guitar riffs and foams with layered vocal harmonies, and gets off to a rockin' start with "Cosmos Rockin'", a song that seems to be more a parody of, than a tribute to, one of the UK's most celebrated glam-rock bands. As the record moves through the soaring "Time to Shine", the bluesy "Still Burnin'" and the ballad "Small", it becomes clear that this is an album monumental only in its relative lack of imagination and meaningful lyrical content. It's buoyed sporadically by captivating ditties like "Call Me If You Need My Love" (vaguely reminiscent of "Crazy Little Thing Called Love") and the Freddie tribute "Some Things That Glitter", but these rarities are not quite enough to save The Cosmos Rocks from being an exercise in dire rock cliché. --Danny McKenna

- The Cosmos Rocks? Yeah, it does... just a bit...!
It is very difficult to approach this album with anything close to objectivity. I have been a big Queen fan for close to twenty years now and, in my opinion, Queen without Freddie just wasn't an option and, after Brian, Roger & John dismissed rumour after rumour of replacing him with a plethora of different front men, I thought that Queen had all but been laid to rest. Then, of course, I heard that they were touring with Paul Rodgers on vocals and, to be honest, I was slightly nonplussed and had ... Read More

- The Cosmos may rock but I'm afraid this doesn't..sadly
I considered myself the biggest Queen fan, saw them first as a support group to Mott the Hoople back in 74 or 75. I have every album released (and a few never officially released!). Even bought the back catalogue on Hollywood records after Freddies death because of all the bonus tracks that never made it onto EMI records. I have even bought all the solo projects
I really can't articulate how disappointed I am with this album.
Guns and Roses continue to be GNR without Slash ... Read More

- Not as bad as some say...
I admit to being a great fan of Freddie and the boys, so I was a bit funny about Roger and Brian restarting something called Queen, but on the other hand I am really pleased that they decided to go back to touring.
This isn't "old" Queen in any real sense. Several of the tracks are naff to the point of being criminal (which "old" Queen album doesn't have a couple of those?). Its clear that the creative and writing talent has definitely moved on - Freddie and John wrote nearly all the big ... Read More

- Love this album!
The long awaited Queen + Paul Rodgers studio album has totally surpassed my expectations. It's a high-quality piece of work and I enjoy listening a lot to tracks such as We Believe, Call Me, C-Lebrity or Time To Shine. I recommend it to all Queen fans and Paul Rodgers fans!
Rating: - If Queen Can Move on Why Can't the Fans?!
This album is classic rock at it's best. Queen and Paul Rodgers let rip on this record doing when rockbands should be doing.
The album is full of great rockin numbers and some nice ballads. The guitar solo's are excellent, vocals are as good as everything Paul releases and the rest of the band sound great.
The only reason you'll hear a bad thing about this album is because Brian and Rodger continue to use the Queen name. I think they should. It was their band that sadly lost ... Read More
