NOTE: "This Album Is Dedicated To Freddie Mercury".
THE COSMOS ROCKS is the only studio album by Queen + Paul Rodgers, released on 15th September 2008. It contains 14 new tracks written by Brian May, Roger Taylor, and Paul Rodgers. This is the first studio album of new material from the two remaining members of Queen since 1995's Made In Heaven. Tracks on the new Queen + Paul Rodgers album are all newly written by Brian May, Roger Taylor and Paul Rodgers during the late 2007/ early 2008 recording sessions. Song ''Say It's Not True'', previously released at the end of 2007 year by Queen + Paul Rodgers for Nelson Mandela's 46664 HIV AIDS charity was included in album. It's something different entirely album, a more blues-focused synthesis that should be evaluated – in as much as it can be – apart from the group's classic catalog. THE COSMOS ROCKS doesn't take enough outrageous chances, and the soulful, more direct Rodgers is an utterly different performer than Mercury. That's why the album was credited to Queen + Paul Rodgers. Taken on its own, its tough little charms are more easily received.
PERSONNEL: Brian May – guitar, backing and lead vocals, bass, keyboards, piano; Roger Taylor – drums, backing and lead vocals, percussion, keyboards; Paul Rodgers – lead vocals, guitar, bass, keyboards, piano, harmonica; Taylor Hawkins – backing vocals.
As a standalone, this album is much better than it is given credit for. Give Queen - or Brian May and Roger Taylor, as that's who's left at this point - and new singer Paul Rodgers this much credit. This awkward marriage of convenience winds up being more convincing on the 2008 studio effort THE COSMOS ROCKS than it did on the live album Return Of The Champions. Of course, this is almost entirely due to the fact that the songs here were written by and for Paul Rodgers, a frontman who is a cosmos away from Freddie Mercury and never quite seemed comfortable taming Freddie's flamboyancy. Here, Rodgers effectively rules the roost, helping steer THE COSMOS ROCKS far, far away from the meticulous, grandiose sonic sculptures of Queen at the height of their reign and toward a humble boogie. At its best, this can sound a bit like a second-rate Bad Company, at its worst it feels like Free - not quite like Queen, but not necessarily unenjoyable either, thanks in part to a Brian May who seems, frankly, thrilled to play new songs again. This is all clichés - glittering gold, rock & roll and school's out - but the band seems happy to shuffle the pieces and put them together in a slightly different order, to get whatever meager charge there is. There are hints of the old craziness - thank the stars for "C-Lebrity", but "Call Me" also comes close to capturing the bright pop of The Game - but this is firmly Rodgers' show. It's all meat and potatoes, not champagne and caviar. And, truth be told, it's not all that bad. Certainly, it's not the embarrassment of the live album, but it has its own internal logic that keeps it humming along, and that's good enough for a listen and to get the band out on tour again.
