Queen II

The sophomore album of one of the greatest band's of all time perfectly showcases the talent possessed by the band from the very start, and also at the same time shows how much they improved afterwards.

'Queen II' is one of many classic rock albums by the UK band, and in my opinion it gives the first true glimmer of the creativity that the band possessed in both musical composition and lyrical storytelling.

Although this album does come off as a bit pretentious at times, I'd say that it's still an enjoyable listen throughout.

Queen's second album is an overall musical improvement on their debut. It is much more enjoyable and is an album that I can actually see myself coming to more. However, it still isn't Queen at their best. Honestly, it's actually kinda surprising seeing how Queen started off knowing what they would end up making in the future.

Favourite Tracks: Father To Son; The March Of The Black Queen; Seven Seas Of Rhye; Ogre Battle; White Queen (As It Began); Some Day One Day

A musical and lyrical improvement over the groups debut, this record is everything about their debut, but refined and matured to fully showcase the bands unlimited musical talent, all wrapped in a package that is complicated while still somehow being accessible. While some of the topics are a bit goofy (i'm looking at you Side Black), it's still a grand, interesting and fun listen.

Favorite Jams: Ogre Battle, Father to Son, The March of the Black Queen

Lest Favorite: Procession
