was anno 1984, the album "The Works". After years of music tour-album-tour stress the band seemed a bit tired. Also to be quite flown occasion "Hot Space" the scraps inside the band Yes. So you treated himself to the "Hot Space" tour a common time out from each other. In the second half of 1983 we began to work on "The Works", after had become all agree, but to continue as a band "Queen" ... Good decision in hindsight. It then took no more risk in "The Works". Rückkkehr to "Queen" - Trade Marks, one could say. With "Radio Ga Ga" to coincide with the first single scored a worldwide hit. Unfortunately, no hit No.1 in USA or even England, there was "Frankie Goes To Hollywood" announced with "Relax" to hip and so that Queen with the No. Had to take 2 to be content. The Works was still up some single releases. "It's A Hard Life", "I Want to Break Free" were big hits for Queen. Despite more synth application ("Machines", "Ga-Ga") there were again crashing Brian May to hear guitars ("Tear It Up"). A very good album, I think, and a return to form. Clear the music was now "mainstreamiger" but you look at what so many other colleagues in the music industry in the nowadays "transfigured" eighties with the advent of computer and digital technology in the studio so were delivering to "botch," we are Queen fans still have been very well served .... Among the bonus tracks: unfortunately times (again) so nix relevant. Two single mixes, two live songs (well-known), the Queen Christmas single "Thank God It's Christmas" and a non-album track (B-side of Radio Ga-Ga single) are little incentive to buy. So be it: "The Works" has become a strong "Queen album" and founded a new popularity of the band. For me 4.5 stars because not possible here, I remain at four times because 5 were given the performance of Queen in the "70's" exaggerated.
