Queen - C-lebrity - Single Review
Found on 2008-08-24, somewhere in the blogosphere
On the other hand, this new Queen is bloody preachy. First they were banging on about some Third World issue, now they’re wagging their fingers at celebrity culture - a bit rich for two guys who exhumed the corpse of Queen for what? ...

So, the facts: 17 years since the last studio album. Not quite sure what was going on for the first fourteen years, but apparently ‘Crayons’ only came together in the last three. However before we go into our in depth, track-by-track deconstruction, we should point out that although the album has been under construction for ages, it seems that a magic studio pixie came in at the end and made it sound a bit like everything else out at the moment.
