About
Queen’s self-titled 1973 debut album wades up to the waist—but <i>Queen II</i> dives in headfirst. The layers are denser (“The Fairy Feller’s Master-Stroke”), the structures are trickier and more exploratory (“The March of the Black Queen”), and the overall attack is both stronger and more flamboyant. Released in 1974, <i>Queen II</i> was too light to be heavy metal (“White Queen (As It Began)”) and too heavy to be glam (“Seven Seas of Rhye”). But its weird mix of power and frilliness captured the essence of both. Drummer Roger Taylor would later claim the band members recorded so many overdubs on <i>Queen II</i>, they wore the oxide off the tape; it’s the art-rock equivalent of a fisherman holding up his prizewinning catch with a grin on his face and the weight printed proudly underneath. .
