3.0 out of 5 stars
Surprisingly good, November 23, 2000
This review is from: Queen: A Guitar Accolade (Audio CD)
Well here's a first, a tribute album with songs performed entirely on guitar including the vocals. Wait, it's not as bland as you think.Lloyd does a remarkable job of getting the tone of Brian May's guitar just right, giving an accurate Queen "feel" to the tracks.You don't quite miss Mercury's singing as Lloyd also gets every vocal inflection from his guitar. This album is a perfect karaoke CD. It's pacing is perfect and you naturally sing along with the music.The only real negative is the use of drum machines. If you're going to do an album of songs entirely with instruments, use REAL ones. A real, heavy drum sound would've worked wonders for this album and I could've easily given it an extra star on that alone.This album could've easily gone bad fast but Lloyd put a lot of work into this, getting every note *just* right. Even Brian May was sceptical at first but changed his mind upon listening to it, calling the CD "..a fine compliment indeed!"
