Negative Positive
Title: ....
Review: Roger formed The Cross during a "down time" in Queen's recording schedule. This first offering is dismal.It relies heavily on weak, synth-like drum machines and samples (mostly of older Queen tunes.)The only track worth getting into is the original release of "Heaven For Everyone" (later redone by Queen.) This version, with Roger on lead vocals, is well done and is surprisingly close to the Queen version. There is a vocal bridge that I wish Queen would've kept in and the song is done in the "self help" vain...it begins with a soothing voice over with a man urging you to "close your eyes and imagine soft, white clouds..""Love Lies Bleeding" has a catchy guitar riff courtesy of guesting Brian May but all in all, this is Euro pop at it's worst.
Is the review positive or negative?
