The most alternative/genre-bending and musically successful Queen have ever been - along with 'Sheer Heart Attack', of course.

As far as I am concerned this album is a master piece....I have heard absolutely nothing like this in my entire life....Its a listner's delight from the start...This album has captured my imagination with songs like "The Fairy Feller's Master Stroke" and the "Ogre Battle"..I have no idea what delights me more...the intriguiging lyrics, the powerful vocals or the complex melodies..I would advice any rock and roll fan, a queen fan or not, to buy this album, its just sheer brilliance.....No band existing today can even dream of producing an album like this...Believe it or not..this album got me interested in Greek mythology, a subject I used to find quite boring..I even went to the extent of reading one of my mom's research papers...she is a literature professor and is really fond of Greek mythology..she was trying to get me interested in the subject for years..I came across so many references to Greek mythology like "Satyr", "nymph"..etc and I just had to know what it all meant...My mom was shocked beyond words and declared that if Freddie had been alive..she would have personally thanked him for accomplishing something which she couldn't...So please... Just buy it...You wont regret it..If it can get me, a 20 year old, to be interested in Greek mythology then it must be one heck of an album...
Here are the songs which completely blew me away:
Procession- its a short instrumental introduction..You will be amazed at what Brian can do with the guitar...This sounds bizzare and freaky...but I want that song played at my funeral.
Ogre Battle- Dear God...What a song...it just hits you hard..with the rocking melodies and Freddie's powerful vocal range and listen carefully to the lyrics and the melodies and some sound effects..you can just imagine the havoc those troll like creatures are causing...
Some Day One Day- a great song...showing that Freddie and Roger are not the only vocalists in the band..Brian sounds great..
The Fairy Feller's Master Stroke- This song is my personal fav...it sounds strange at first but with 2 or 3 listens..it just blows you away..the lyrics are sooo creative
The March Of The Black Queen- This reminds me of Bohemian Rhapsody...Sheer Brilliance.
Funny How Love Is- a cute song with cute lyrics..
Nevermore- I cried when I heard it the first time...its sooo beautiful..I just wish it was longer...
In short Queen II is weird, funny, creative, imaginative, sad, fun...its a gem of an album...add it to your music collection as soon as possible, if you already haven't, otherwise you are missing out on a lot...

Awesome. Virtuosity and whimsy, ambition and ludicrousness and there's no other way this could have gone to be a success.

Clearly, I enjoyed this less than most people. Compositionally, this album is great, and could remind one of an Opera. Flows well, but not really my style. I am guessing Freddie's extravagant style had much more of an influence here than on the debut, and while the last few songs mostly are amazing, I miss the heavier, rawer and instrumentally flairier style of the debut

I had this album with a 4.5 rating. But later on, remembering all the songs in this album, thinking it over, it has great music, great lyrics, great voice, and one of my favorites songs ever (The March of the Black Queen). So, had to change it to a 5.

The black side is easily a 4.5 but the white side brings this down to a 4

Arg, this is so close to be a classic...A Night At The Opera remains slightly better, but kill me if this is not an impressive album !
Edit : Yeah actually it is

With tight songwriting and epic performances, there aren't many albums the 70's produced quite like Queen II. If you're a classic rock fan, this is an essential jam.

I've heard this called the "poor man's Dark Side of the Moon" though I can't see why really, Yes some songs in the middle are a bit bland but the epic tracks more than make up for it. 'The March of the Black Queen' is one of the bands best songs

One of Queen's best albums, this is. From the evocative fathom of "Procession" to the amazing works of "Seven Seas of Rhye", this album deserves mass recognition. Great work.
