CD ReviewsPseudo-Highlander Soundtrack But with Some Great Tunes! Frederick Baptist | Singapore | 10/09/2005 (4 out of 5 stars) "This album could be very loosely described as the "soundtrack" for the "Highlander" movie because it contains much of the music from the film itself but it's not quite what has in mind when one thinks about a soundtrack. There are no scores here like in the "Flash Gordon" album and there are other songs that do not appear in the movie. The first track, "One Vision" actually comes from another movie, "Iron Eagle" and the title track is not connected to either movie. Still, the tracks are quite strong on their own merits and there are bonus tracks here, remix versions of the title track and "Friends Will Be Friends" and "Forever" which is a keyboard instrumental version of "Who Wants to Live Forever". Not Queen's best work but then to be honest, Queen's work had been erratic ever since "The Game" but still a decent offering and worth a listen. This Japanese lp mini-replica version has been remastered but the bass levels seem a little too heavy but it's very well packaged. The album has never sounded or looked better. Recommended if you liked the movies or if you liked the singles." Magical John Sposato | Syracuse, NY, USA | 12/12/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) "I have the original UK LP release. I had the 1991 U.S. CD, but once I found the import, I sold off the other. Under-rated in North America, but another triumph everywhere else. Queen crossed the Iron-Red Curtain to then-communist Hungary for a historical concert in the Olympic colleseum in Budapest, a highlight of what sadly ended up being their final tour together, as Freddie Mercury was secretly diagnosed with AIDS the following year." A Valliant Effort! J. Collins | Dallas | 03/11/2004 (4 out of 5 stars) "Once again, Queen has given us another album that doesn't sound like the last one. That's one thing I've always enjoyed about them, all the way down the line through Innuendo (Made In Heaven wasn't an album in my book, but an EP). There's a different flavor on each.(See the rest of my review on the Hollywood issue page)This is a re-issue of the 1986 Capitol Records issue, which is superior to the Hollywood Records US release.The Hollywood issue only contains an extended One Vision. It would be nice to put all 4 extra tracks together on one CD."
