Heart's best album
A total classic in the style and league of Zeppelin IV. Little Queen is my favorite Heart album, and I'm a big fan who has most of their stuff.


EXCELENTE
A quien le gusta el Heart "viejito", este disco le va a encantar. Este es uno de los mejores discos de Heart y a un muy buen precio.

Little Queen - Big Heart!
It starts with a rocking song "Barracuda" which was #1 hit. This is fantastic! I bought this album because I liked so much "Dreamboat Annie" and I never even had realized, until now, that this album is the best Heart album ever. After that the songs sound much peaceful, and I think they are much like Led Zeppelin, except that this is female rock. "Love Alive" is a great song, and I also like the next one, Sylvan Song, which is an instrumental track. "Dream of the Archer" is one of my favourite tracks in this album. "Kick It Out" is much more rocking that the three earlier tracks. The title track is a great song but after those five songs it doesn't sound as great as it could be. "Treat Me Well", "Say Hello", "Cry to Me" . . . so great! "Go on Cry" is actually almost instrumental. You can hear the words "Go on Cry" peacefully on the background - it's a great song, I think that it's more near Pink Floyd than Led Zeppelin.
Stars: Barracuda, Dream of the Archer, Go on Cry.


Little Queen
It's great to have a remastered version with bonus tracks, wish Capitol would do the same with Dreamboat Annie. Little Queen, Heart's second album, measures up to their debut Dreamboat Annie. "Barracuda" is the featured song here & in many ways surpasses "Magic Man" from Dreamboat Annie. "Barracuda" rocked hard & added to the claim that Heart was the Queens of Rock. "Kick It Out" is a good song, so is the funky "Little Queen". It's unfortunate that, like its predecessor, its not a consistent album. This album might be more consistent than their first but the highs are quite as good.

"Dream of the Archer" is similar to the Led Zeppelin song "Battle of Evermore" but not one of my favorites. Call me a fool if you will but I was never the biggest fan of Led Zeppelin. "Sylvan Song" is a great instrumental that features Howard Leese. Leese was Hearts musician extraordinaire, playing several different instruments. In Fact, he would be the longest surviving member of the band, not counting the Wilson sisters. The album has two bonus cuts :Too Long a Time", an early version of "Love Alive" & a live recording of "Stairway to Heaven". Adding this cut only reinforces the myth or title that Heart was "the female Led Zeppelin". I'm not sure where this myth originated but Heart did little to dispel the myth.

Heart was one of the major groups to debut in the seventies & was one of my favorites. In a three year period we got Heart, Boston, Foreigner & Van Halen. This was the last great rock band period of the seventies. Heart would continue for many years & would reinvent themselves in the eighties to once again enjoy a large scale success. The Wison sisters & Heart were "rawkers" & this album does nothing to change that image.
