Queen - On Air
Review by Sergio Henrique Ferreira Neto Menesc
On Air, the latest album by the legendary rock band Queen, is a must-have for any true fan of classic rock. This album features a collection of live recordings from the band's early years, showcasing their raw energy and undeniable talent.
The album opens with a blistering rendition of "My Fairy King," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. Other standout tracks include "Keep Yourself Alive," "Liar," and "Son and Daughter," all of which feature electrifying guitar solos and Freddie Mercury's unmistakable vocals.
What makes On Air truly special, however, is the inclusion of previously unreleased tracks like "See What a Fool I've Been" and "Modern Times Rock 'n' Roll." These songs offer a glimpse into the band's creative process and remind us why Queen remains one of the most iconic bands in rock history.
