It's another big artist's work that Steve and Remfry will be consigning to the Broken Records abyss, as they take a look at 2008's The Cosmos Rocks, the sixteenth studio album by classic rock royalty Queen (originally aired on Riot Act #91 1st May 2020). 

It was the first studio album of new material from the two remaining members of Queen, Brian May and Roger Taylor, since 1995′s Made in Heaven and received pretty mixed reviews. According to critic review aggregator Metacritic, the album received an average review score of 42/100. Alexis Petridis of The Guardian gave it two out of five stars, stating, "the lyrics were stupid, trite, a bit offensive and bound to have an undermining effect on whatever musical efforts they put behind it". Conversely, PopMatters gave it a 7/10 review, stating, "Paul Rodgers breathes new life into Queen, while still keeping the band's tremendous legacy intact as they soldier forth with new material into the 21st century". Mojo gave it three stars, stating, "Occasionally they stumble, as on the clunky 'Warboys.' But with Rodgers imperious, Queen's second coming is vindicated".
