Album Notes & Community Reviews
Despite its misleading title, Queen's 'Jazz' is a remarkably eclectic, spectacularly theatrical exploration of hard rock, pop pastiches, and stadium-sized anthems. Bursting with fiercely energetic tracks like 'Don't Stop Me Now', the album highlights the band's wonderfully playful, highly uplifting, and deeply melodic approach to multi-layered rock and roll.
