 Don't not buy it just cos of that, February 1, 2002

Yes, this is not how he intended the songs to sound (well, not most of them anyway) but these versions (almost without exception) sound massively superior to the originals. Take Foolin' Around transformed from boring 3 chord nothing-ness into a intricate and interesting song. Mr Bad Guy loses it's orchestral symphonic feel and becomes a hard rocking power-house of a song. There are a million new things to hear in all the remixes, and although they're not all better (Time is good but no great improvement and Living On My Own isn't the best) it's well worth hearing, as the original versions of the song are his vocals covering up the patchy song-writing, but this album is his vocals excelling themselves along with great backing tracks. pGet it.

i've never felt an impact of when I put this CD in my player i was blown away in the first few seconds of the great pretender then after i came down from cloud nine and the third song came on "time" i just satsilent all the through it [and that's a change for me]i couldn't believe what i was hearing one man's voice that could make you cry. yes this collection has got critism for the remixing buy it to keep mercury legacy alive. "oh yes i'm the great pretender" Legends never die
well worth buying September 1, 2002

This must be one of Freddie's best solo albums. A must for any Freddie fan, whatever age. Some of the tracks need to be listened to a few times before you warm to them. A great mix of music for the rhythm, lyrics are in some very heartfelt and all vibrate with Freddie's outlandish character and personality.
Pure genius July 1, 2000
Disregard his lifestyle - the guy was magical. This album shows him at his best. How could anyone listen to him sing 'Barcelona' or 'These were the days of my life', not to mention 'Living On My Own' and not be awestruck. Whether you're a fan or not - whether you liked 'Queen' or not - this album is good, but good.
Exercises in free love - a fitting epitaph to the great man August 21, 2000
Terrific album by the man who made Queen tick. People talk about Barcelona and Living on my Own, but for me the song that Fred should be remembered for is Exercises in Free Love. It was something that he believed in, yet in the end it stole his life. It was so unfair. Go and buy this album. I did!
