Quick Reviews
Mark “Don’t Stop Me Now” is incredible and there’s a solid album around it. What if you had cut one or two albums and those best songs were all on this album?
Chris There’s a lot of rock on here that people don’t give enough credit to. Somehow it gets in your head and you can’t turn away from it.
Alex Better deep cuts than NOTW makes it a better overall album.
Kevin This one stuck with me a lot more than a lot of the previous album. Tracks on there that I had on repeat.

Love It or Flush It Legend
L = Love. As many as you like.
F = Flush. Must flush at least one track per album.
B = Buy. Purchased for the ultimate LTS “Best Of” playlist for each of us. One per album.
T = Terminate. Should have never even existed. One per album.
The Rules
Each of us must Love, Flush, Buy, and Terminate AT LEAST ONE track on an album, no matter how great or terrible the album is. Whoever wins the “7 for the Buy” section gets an extra Buy or Terminate to use on the album. Because Chris hosts this section and thus cannot win, he gets an extra Buy or Terminate every 4 albums.
Album Information
Jazz is the seventh studio album by the British rock band Queen. It was released on 10 November 1978 by EMI Records in the United Kingdom and by Elektra Records in the United States. Produced by Roy Thomas Baker, the album artwork was suggested by Roger Taylor, who previously saw a similar design painted on the Berlin Wall.[5] The album’s varying musical styles were alternately praised and criticised. It reached number two in the UK Albums Chart and number six on the US Billboard 200.
