CatchHellBlues Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 No, I'm serious. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0kTkxhyWNo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7p-5CgWP7Iw That stuff put the hardest Zep in shame. Queen were a very different band in the 70s compared to the poppy 80s. Don't get me wrong, I like Queen but Zeppelin are another level IMO.

uneety Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 At first, everyone was like "nah, we won't believe these early reviews and its strange comparisons/descriptions" and now it seems like a lot of people believes them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn. Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Don't get me wrong, I like Queen but Zeppelin are another level IMO. Nah, Queen have better harmonies, both in guitars and vocals, more variety in the style of the songs and a singer that can actually sing. Zepp have great tracks, like Kashmir or Immigrant Song, but i can't listen to their albums from top to finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigGeorge Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I was expecting Aftermath to be the track I was least forward to hearing but it's jumped right up after that description. With or Without You is one of the few U2 songs I enjoy too so Revolt sounds decent, I'd always imagined Matt would nail a cover of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're saying Plant isn't a good singer? Queen didn't have 45 minuted drum solos though If I'm honest I'd also put Sabbath/Aerosmith above Queen if your'e talking 70's era.

Bohemian-Cygnus-Running-Out Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 So is that French magazine review real for sure or is it just more fakeness/speculation. I love Queen to absolute death and I don't mind U2 (the 80s stuff is especially good), so those descriptions seem pretty sweet. I just hope the songwriting and playing/singing is as top notch as Muse can be. I'm loving all the tracks they've released so far but the second half is what really interests me at this point.

serpentsatellite Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Even the little bits of vocals we heard in the Defector video raised a warning flag for me. Oh, it absolutely did to me, too. I was pretty surprised at how hyped everyone is for that song from what we've heard, because that's the only thing that stuck out to me. I just also think there's never going to be many reviews where people aren't automatically looking for comparisons to Queen (which has been happening since OoS) and U2, so it's a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy.

uneety Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Actual reviewers are a different matter. Not all of them, I guess. Anyway, all we have now is just some translated descriptions from an unnamed "french magazine", without any proof. Still, it might turn out to be true, but I'm just saying...

canuckmuser14 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 The Handler sounds very promising. I think that will be the best song on the album. The band are always talking about it. And I hope the whistling intro for the Globalist isn't too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queen didn't have 45 minuted drum solos though If I'm honest I'd also put Sabbath/Aerosmith above Queen if your'e talking 70's era. I could go on a mega-Queen rant over this stuff but I'd better not. I'll just leave it at Zep was great, Queen was much more interesting, funny, and brilliant. If you want stuff that compares to Dazed and Confused, first three Queen albums have plenty of material in that category. Queen could rock as hard/harder than Zep and Sabbath any day, could write much more interesting material than Aerosmith any day, and could outperform all of them live with volcanic rhythm section, a wizard and showman of a guitarist, and the most amazing frontman/rock singer of all time. That's what I have to say about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-FutureStar- Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Remember, actual French reviewers made Big Freeze sound heavy as fuck. Didn't they just say it had a big chorus or something? Coz it did a bit... at least... that's Big Freeze's only redeeming factor for me. Before The 2nd Law released I collated all the descriptions (and started to do the same this time round but they've been so scarce), but lost them all... Which is a shame. Would have been nice to go back and compare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjartrod Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Has this been posted yet? (From a French magazine that's heard the album) Do you have their comments on the songs that we already heard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My personal opinion is exactly opposite yours, but it's fine. Totally respect your opinion though. Plant and Page are both absolutely top notch.
