Queen for a Day - Don't Lose Your Head



Roger Taylor, fresh from two, count em, TWO big hits for the band ("Radio Gaga" & "A Kind of Magic") has another offering, one that references, tongue in cheek (sort of) the fact from the movie that the only way to kill an immortal is to behead them.
It's "Don't Lose Your Head". Get it? Actually, it's a line in the movie. But that doesn't make it any less stupid.

Sigh. Okay, let's listen.

Electro-drums. Synths. More synths. So, Roger's obsession with cold, distancing techno-gadgets is intact.

The bridge....the bridge...is just awful. I don't have the energy to make it through this review.

It's a bag ful of "why?"
Why is Joan Armtrading on this? Did she lose a bet?
Why the frenetic drums? Programming isn't playing.
Why did anyone say yes to this mess?
What is Brian playing during his solo? Is he just noodling in the studio? Did anyone listen to what he laid down????

This is awful.
