This is a difficult album to rate. Of course, it is first a motion picture score, the music behind the movie, not a bunch of songs that have pieces of them played at different times of the movie. Unlike future release A Kind Of Magic which was all songs that were used in the film “Highlander”, this is actually the score used in the film, therefore it’s not your typical Queen album.
Now, taking that into consideration, if you are going to listen to this album, do it at dusk with a glass of red, and just let it flow over you. OK, there is some hokey stuff in there, but you have to approach this almost like it is elevator music to get the most out of it. “Flash’s Theme” and “The Hero” are the two actual songs on the album, and they both rock like only Queen can.
Rating: Still better than most original scores. Makes the movie what it is as well… 3/5.
