- | Solo albums from ex-Queen members have, so far, produced mixed results. So, too, with the latest offering form erstwhile Queen drummer, Roger Taylor. His second album since the AIDS-related death of singer Freddie Mercury in 1991 features moments of brilliance that remind you that this is the man who wrote 'Radio Ga-Ga' and 'I'm In Love With My Car'. | + | :Solo albums from ex-Queen members have, so far, produced mixed results.

- | Unfortunately, there are just as many instances where one is reminded that, at the end of the day, he was the drummer. 'Believe In Yourself' is beautiful, lilting, eye-to-eye stuff. 'Surrender', featuring ghostly, Soul-fingered vocals from Treana Morris, is equally compelling, while 'People On Streets', inspired by a visit to India, turns into the kind of inspired op-Funk confection you could easily see burning down the charts. | + | :Unfortunately, there are just as many instances where one is reminded that, at the end of the day, he was the drummer.

- | So why the more self-consciously fartsy 'Pressure On' has been chosen as the first single is a mystery. It suffers, not least, from comparison to 'Under Pressure, the far superior hunk of hitability that Queen recorded with Bowie back in 1981. There are worse tracks - the funny-peculiar 'No More fun' and the Pink Floyd-esque version of Lennon's 'Working Class Hero - but mostly they're just lapses. | + | :So why the more self-consciously fartsy 'Pressure On' has been chosen as the first single is a mystery.
