Δειτε ενα πολυ ωραιο review του γνωστου δισκου των Queen , αυτη την φορα ομως σε DTS 5.1
Αναλυτικα για καθε τραγουδι:

"... 1) Play The Game –Rock Ballad – The beginning of the song has a THX-like opening which “wows” you with the surrounds. There were a couple of nice, well thought out, moments where the music would circle around the room especially just before the guitar solo.



2) Dragon Attack – Drum heavy Rock song – There is a real nice drum solo that makes you feel like you are actually IN a drum. Freddie’s voice is firmly anchored in front while the guitars and music are all around. One bizarre decision was to have the guitar solo start from behind then quickly move up front followed by random moves around the room (around minute 7). Some of the surround effects were OK but overall the effects seemed out of place and more than a little forced. There was an a cappella section that I found very nice.



3) Another One Bites the Dust – Rock/Pop – In stark contrast to the rest of the album, Freddie’s vocals were clear as a bell and firmly planted in front of me. I felt myself sinking back into the couch because I felt like Freddie was leaning into me and singing inches from my face. This is the song that epitomizes why I was expecting Queen to be a great choice for 5.1: lots of random ambient sounds that could be mixed into a myriad of different speaker combinations. This song was well executed and audibly stunning. Most casual buyers will purchase this DVD for this song, and they won’t be disappointed.


4) Need Your Loving Tonight – Rock/Pop song with a Folksy feel – The nice thing about this song is that, while most of the album sounded like a concert in a large venue, this was more like the band was performing in a coffee shop. It felt like Freddie was in front with a guitar with backup singers surrounding all of us. Nice effect.


5) Crazy Little Thing Called Love – Elvisy blues/rock – This track featured lots of echo in Freddie’s voice almost to a distraction. It sounded like Freddie was singing in a closet. Whenever the backup vocals would kick in, Freddie’s voice was totally overpowered. I could clearly hear the sound of the pick on strings, kind of a high, harmonic ring as the pick slides ever so slightly down the string as it crosses it. This was also evident on the previous track, but it really stood out here.


6) Rock It (Prime Jive) – Slow start into a nice Rock song – There were some good use of surrounds with the backup voices and electric organ. There were also some random sounds that were used effectively and provided a good counterpoint to the mostly dispersed sound of the rest of the song.


7) Don’t Try Suicide – Upbeat Pop song – I have to say that an up-tempo song about suicide is a little disconcerting at first. This song sounds almost like a commercial jingle. During the refrain, they repeat “don’t do it,” I felt that these lines could have been spread out around the room more (or at all). There was the potential for this song to be the showpiece of the album, but it wasn’t.


8) Sail Away Sweet Sister – Rock Ballad – There was a nice ocean effect at the end of this song, otherwise, it is simply enveloping with few specific surround effects.


9) Coming Soon – Heavy drum Rock tune – Mostly, the backup vocals overpower Freddie’s. There were some nice random effects. There is a lot of repetition in the song that could have benefited from the 5.1 format, but were untapped.


10) Save Me – Nice soft Ballad with a wailing Rock refrain – With few specific surround effects, this track produced a nice envelopment.
