Queen Deep Dive: Ready for The Works
Manage episode 394589596 series 3548696
After the lackluster response to funk-infused Hot Space, Queen took a break and came back fresh, uniting with enthusiasm to create their 11th album, The Works. For the first time, the boys made a conscious decision to rely on their tried and true rock 'n' roll style while retaining some of their recent and more minimal pop and dance vibes. They "played it safe" to reaffirm their presence and reconnect with fans. Press and the public lauded this as the boys' return to form. Its tracklist is short, and some find the fusion of rock and pop uneven. But it packs a joyous punch that's fresh and invigorating.
