The album was received well by critics; Gordon Fletcher of Rolling Stone said "their debut album is superb",[8] and Chicago's Daily Herald called it an "above average debut".[9] However, it drew little mainstream attention and the lead single "Keep Yourself Alive", a Brian May composition, sold poorly. Greg Prato of Allmusic later called Queen "one of the most underrated hard rock debuts of all time."</blockquote> <em>Bohemian Rhapsody</em> was on their fourth album. From the Repository:

I said, Neneh's Brother! Don's Son! This'll be awesome. My girlfriend (now wife) loved it and had me play it over and over and I got kindof sick of it. Then, about 3 months later, it start getting radio play and I'm really sick of it. And then it hits the top 5 and I'm so bloody sick of this song. I can't even remember if I ever liked it.

The closing cut is the epic "The Day That Texas Sank to the Bottom of the Sea." How is that Girls record? It's getting massive buzz. And that Wrens LP is sweet, too. I've got Micah's first record.
