Another World is the third solo album by Brian May , the guitarist of the British rock band Queen , released in 1998 .

Emergence

The album was originally planned as a cover album of May's personal favorite songs. Later it was decided to mix it with May compositions. Other covered songs were released as B-sides of the singles Business , On My Way Up , Another World and Why Don't We Try Again . The album was recorded in Brian May's private home studio.

The album reached number 23 on the UK charts.

Drummer Cozy Powell died in a traffic accident while recording and was unable to finish his job.

criticism

Allmusic wrote: “'Business', the second song on Brian May's third solo album, finds the guitarist recording the type of ferocious hard rock that he became known for with Queen in the early' 70s. With a great pop hook and churning heavy guitars, it's arguably the best thing he's done as a solo artist. The rest of the album doesn't quite live up to its opening, but it shows May has grown more confident in his singing and in playing balls-to-the-wall hard rock than on 1992's Back to the Light. "
