Editorial Review:
What once seemed Queen's greatest liabilities--a preening flamboyance and pompous, overwrought theatricality--have ironically become their most enduring charms in a gray, postmodern pop-music landscape. While it eschews the glammy, pre-punk hard rock of live faves like "Stone Cold Crazy" and "Tie Your Mother Down" for the band's more quirky club-beat string of latter-day hits, this 51-track triple-CD anthology goes a long way toward documenting the true dimensions of the band's music and fame. Some songs may not be instantly familiar to American fans because of yet another irony: just as their U.S. fortunes waned during the punk and new wave era, the band was exploding into true international superstars. Thus, there may be a sense of discovery here, whether of latter-day Queen material or solo work by Brian May and Freddie Mercury, whose duet on "Barcelona" with diva Montserrat Caballé transcends boundaries of both time and genre. A previously unreleased live performance of "The Show Must Go On" featuring Elton John on vocals is also included. --Jerry McCulley
Greatest Hits I, II & III - The Platinum Collection (3CD) Reviews:
Milking the cash cow. 
2009-11-10 - After releasing the entire Queen CD catalogue in terrific remastered versions, Hollywood Records re-packaged the hits into the 'Classic Queen' and 'Greatest Hits' compliations. Then a few years ago, they finally issued the original British 'Greatest Hits' and 'Greatest Hits 2' CDs ... now, here once again, are those two compilations along with a mis-titled 'Greatest Hits 3', which is actually a complilation of duets between the surviving members of Queen and some UK pop stars such as Elton John, along with a few stray authentic Queen and Freddie Mercury solo tracks. While interesting, disc 3 would have been better had it been a real hits collection of actual Queen recordings - perhaps some classic album tracks or B-sides. Still, for the price of 2 CD's you get most of Queen's radio hits, which will be enough for casual fans. But these discs only skim the surface of Queen's musical legacy.
