I adore Queen, but I’m not a fan of Paul Rodgers. Queen simply isn’t Queen without Freddie Mercury. Rodgers, who admittedly has some pretty big shoes to fill, has given a decent effort but he just isn’t right in the role. I wish that they would have given their 1/2Queen Paul Rodgers band a brand new name rather than continuing to call themselves Queen. Not only is Mercury missing, but John Deacon opted not to participate as well in these new endeavors.

The only track that might be worth listening to on this album is #2 Time to Shine. The rest doesn’t feel like Queen at all.
