If The Night Comes Down remix is anything to go by, it flies in the face of Brian's Rick Beato interview where he discusses the recording of the debut and that you can't capture the room sound in retrospect. I've often wondered how it would have sounded with the full Queen production, but the fact is it wasn't recorded that way, and it has a real charm because of this.
Agree with every word you said here. Freddie's voice should never be touched. Adding insult to injury they are wanting customers to pay $200 for a box where the majority of the content has already been released.
The reality is that fred's singing was often flat during the Queen 1 sessions. The new version of the Night comes down pops in a way it never did before in my view. Fredin later years would re-record vocals until they were perfect, I feel the remixes sound much more like the way he would have wanted
I'm a Queen fan from the beginning, I also know every note of every song, etc. I'm also not thrilled about the remix and the title change. At the risk of sounding like an old stick in the mud (& perhaps I am), I think they've done enough with their catalog. The 2011 remasters are excellent, let it be, please.
Queen 11?...... HELL YEAH. Side 1 production was muddy. Father to Son would sound excellent with this treatment. I get tired of stuff and absolutely love revamps ❤❤❤❤
It is possible that they will make the same also for Queen II. And next years it will be also the 50th birthday for A Night at the Opera. Personally I like the sound of The Night Comes Down, the only problem is the video done partially with AI, I hope they will remove that.
Like you I've got about 70% of the material from this boxset, the studio chatter is a one off novelty, the instrumental disc again a novelty, the remix album if the track released is anything to go by will be awful. The video is awful. The only thing of interest is the lavish book, but then again I've got loads of nice books on Queen with the same info and possible photos. The price tag is too high for only a few things of interest. I certainly wouldn't be buying this. I went the cheaper option with the Miracle boxset and bought the 2CD version just to get some of the bonus tracks and outtakes. Including the unreleased track 'Face It Alone'. After hearing what sounds like what'll probably be the new 'Queen l' remixed album, I don't think I'll be even buying the cheaper 2CD option. I'm perfectly happy with the original 1973 mix.
There's so much instrumentation buried under Freddie's vocals, I'm looking forward to the instrumental disc. It's not a "novelty" to me - it's an essential. But £150 for a remixed album, a sessions disc and instrumental CD IS far too much. They haven't even done a surround sound disc and frankly that's appalling. But they know how to make money - put a few unique items in a box and charge the earth.
Queen and Zeppelin don’t have much in common other than a four piece band that fit in the rock genre. If Zeppelin had made it to the 80s I wonder if they’d have made albums in the pop vein like Queen using electronics and technology? John Bonham was so good I could listen to him playing solo! Roger Taylor is also great, steady and not fiddly. John Deacon is probably one of the most underrated bassists ever. He also wrote a good few of the bands hits.
You know something I'd like to see since nobody does it anymore' sour kraut' home made sour kraut' the process of making homemade sour kraut. I remember back in the last 60's early 70's being a kid' family and friends would pick weekends getting together when cabbage heads were ready to harvest and everyone would join in dicing/ slicing and chopping up the cabbage heads getting ready and making homemade sour kraut' us kids would fight over the cabbage cores' grab one with the salt shaker in hand run and hide and eat them like it was our only bite of food in days'parents hollering' YOU'RE GONNA GET A BELLY ACHE EATING THAT RAW CABBAGE!!! Blah Blah Blah we didn't care. They'd always have live music' the local musicians would get together and play' everyone got along and would join in and do their part' little or small didn't matter.... Without being criticized. I wish I'd paid more attention the way the old folks made it back in the days.
Some of us are actually excited to hear the album remixed. Can't say I'm impressed they've autotuned Freddie, but that's fine if the music sounds better and less muddy. Queen II next please - that desperately needs doing!
Well, it won't be Queen anymore. It will be a corpse with cosmetic surgery done to it. It will be a digital monstrosity. A family snapshot with the blemishes photoshopped out. It will be fake. It will be history rewritten. It will be censorship that nobody needs or asked for.

Your tired and gave up reaction of the new mix really captures it all
This isn't real life
This isn't fantasy

I didn't know they was doing this? Better drums and bass with zeppelin.

This guys a bore. The album is great. Remixes are fine and fun to listen too
