Review

Alright, let's dive into Queen's 1978 powerhouse, "Jazz". This album is nothing short of a highlight reel for the band's unrivaled versatility and inventive spirit. You’ve got hit-makers like the cheeky and addictive "Fat Bottomed Girls" and the whimsical "Bicycle Race" setting the tempo. Then there's the experimental and funky "More of That Jazz" proving Queen's readiness to mix things up. Freddie Mercury's pipes steal the show on "Don't Stop Me Now," a track that’s become such a beloved anthem and even lit up the screen in "Shaun of the Dead." Roger Taylor wraps things up with a bang on the album's closer, "More of That Jazz," delivering some sharp social commentary blended with snippets from earlier numbers.

When you check out the 2011 remastered edition, you get a backstage pass to Queen's creative playground. Talk about bonus goodies! The single version of "Fat Bottomed Girls" rocks, and an instrumental "Bicycle Race" lets Brian May’s guitar truly shine. Plus, for a different flavor, there's an early acoustic take of "Dreamer's Ball." While the remaster itself doesn't drastically overhaul the original sound, the extra content is pure gold for die-hard fans.

In the grand scheme, "Jazz" stands tall as a bold statement of Queen's edge-pushing rock prowess. If you’re a fan of the band or just on a mission to explore the peaks of 70s rock, this album is a no-brainer for your collection. - Peter
