And now let’s hear from the king of Rock Disco, the author of their number one hit, the bass driven “Another One Bites the Dust”.
“Back Chat” is the unworthy nephew to that song. There is nothing in it that would catch fire BUT it does smack of everything I learned to dislike about Queen:
Since it worked the first time, let’s devote an entire album to it and try to score again.
It’s as though they abandoned their rock fans, who went with them on the funk/rock journey on the last record in favor of the new fans they got WITH that record.
Always dance with the one that brung ya, guys.
The electronic drum solo on the song is embarrassing. The lead solo serviceable.
The song is trite.
Grade: C
