Hammer to Fall length?

[edit]

The article states Hammer to fall is over 4 minutes long yet the version of the song I own is only 3:36, the live version is over 4 minutes long perhaps someone put that in the article instead? Can someone clarify this for me? 119.12.64.112 (talk) 05:30, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hard rock

[edit]

Oh stop it. Wow, we got Tear It Up and Hammer To Fall (both were just hardrocking live), and the rest is pure pop. Oh wait, we got a rockabilly and a synth-pop piece. Hard rock FTW.--Gustav Lindwall 13:44, 20 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hard rock is also in It`s A Hard Life and Machines, so 4 out of 9 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.122.25.111 (talk) 20:18, 4 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Small song articles

[edit]

The pages Is This the World We Created?, Keep Passing the Open Windows, Man on the Prowl, and Tear It Up are all quite small and could still find a comfortable home on this album page. Please discuss this and other similar small Queen song articles on my talk page. Dar-Ape 03:31, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Is this the world we created?

[edit]

Hi, I pasted the information from the other article and redirected. Please edit to improve the flow of this article.--Kungfu Adam (talk) 12:43, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I merged the history from the other article.--Kungfu Adam (talk) 12:47, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect

[edit]

The redirect from "I Go Crazy" to here is fine, but affects the 1977 Paul Davis song "I Go Crazy." His page has two links to the song "I Go Crazy" (which made #7 on the charts in 1977). It'd be nice if those links actually went to a page about Davis' 1977 song instead of being redirected to a 1984 Queen album. Thanks! 66.17.118.207 15:32, 21 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

John Deacon

[edit]

"I Want To Break Free" was written by John Deacon out of frustration? What does that mean, and from where is this information gleaned? Anton1234 22:35, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Queen The Works.png

Man On The Prowl

[edit]

Where has it been written that Freddie Mercury played rhythm guitar on the 'Man On The Prowl'? As far as has been written by anyone, 'Crazy Little Thing Called Love' was the only song he played guitar on, even though he often composed on guitar. Certainly Freddie was often deprecatory of his own guitar skills, and was more than proud to admit that he played on 'Crazy Little Thing'; if he had played on 'Man On The Prowl' or any other song, he or the other band members would have said as such. 71.224.53.203 (talk) 22:54, 22 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

10th album

[edit]

in the first sentence of the article it says: "The Works is the tenth studio album", but in the History paragraph it says: "By August 1983, however, the band had reunited and began work on their eleventh studio album." So which is it? Make up your mind. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.254.20.207 (talk) 12:20, 19 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Electronics" claims and other opening section bits - dubious?

[edit]

Opening section as it currently stands has several questionable assertions:-

the record has also the heaviest electronics amongst all group albums. In comparison, rock was mostly absent on their previous effort Hot Space giving room to dance and funk with the use of analogue synths and brass, while electronics were not that much present.

Heaviest electronics? Is this generally accepted or quantifiable? While I accept that the use of electronic instruments is at least as heavy as on Hot Space, A Kind of Magic and The Miracle were also very synth-driven.

And reading that last sentence, what does the author mean (or think they mean) by "electronics" anyway? It's claimed that "electronics" were supposedly "not that much present" on Hot Space with its "analogue synths". Are they suggesting that those analogue synths were not "electronic"? Do they mean *digital* electronics (i.e. samplers, etc.)?
