The late discovered genius!

I must admit at the beginning I could not make friends with this album. Had I but previously employed me hauptäschlich with the Queen albums of the 80's or the Greatest Hits-works. By getting then for the first time from the Queen music of the 70s, in particular, the early works, this is already a huge change in style but you can tell immediately what had fascination Queen at the beginning of their careers. While I, for example, at the first hearing of Ogre Battle already got a bit scared ;-).

Highlights on Queen II are for me White Queen (live a treat), Father To Son, The Fairy Feller's Master-Stroke, The March Of The Black Queen (as many facets) and the funny Funny How Love Is. Not to mention the short but fantastic, supported by Mercury's voice, Nevermore.

There is also on the album for me no really weak song. Even the mandatory Roger Taylor song of the first albums "The Loser In The End" has convinced me.

It was my Queen I in the overall picture a bit too raw, so Queen have inspired me with their second album. Due to the varied, partly mystical, Songs Queen II is for me one of the top 3 of Queen albums.
