Our Take
Our Take
Brian May’s latest solo offering, "Back to the Light", sees the Queen guitarist showcasing his signature virtuosity and distinctive tones in a varied collection of rock anthems and heartfelt ballads.
From the opening track, "The Dark", it’s clear that May hasn’t lost his touch when it comes to crafting infectious guitar riffs that soar over powerful drum beats. The album’s title track, "Back to the Light", is a triumphant return to form for the rock legend, with its anthemic chorus and blazing guitar solos.
But it’s not all high-energy rockers on this album. Tracks like "Too Much Love Will Kill You" and "Resurrection" showcase May’s ability to write heartfelt ballads that tug at the heartstrings. The former, in particular, stands out as a poignant reminder of May’s songwriting prowess.
One of the album’s highlights is the epic closer, "Nothin’ but Blue", a bluesy number that sees May flexing his musical muscles with intricate guitar work and soulful vocals. It’s a fitting end to an album that shows May at the top of his game.
Overall, "Back to the Light" is a solid addition to Brian May’s solo discography, proving that the legendary guitarist still has plenty of gas left in the tank. With its mix of hard-hitting rockers and heartfelt ballads, this album is sure to please both die-hard fans and newcomers alike.
