Depends on what you mean. I haven't liked most of the stuff they've done since
A DAY AT THE RACES (JAZZ is an interesting exception -- I didn't care all that
much for the songs themselves, but Roy Thomas Baker made that album an impres-
sive *sounding* one). however, I still very much enjoy listening to their first
five albums. But even if the group isn't as good as they used to be, May is
still a terrific guitarist.
	In case anyone hasn't heard and would be interested, there is an EP out
from "Brian May and Friends" entitled STAR FLEET PROJECT. The title track is a
rock arrangement of the theme song from a Japanese cartoon. The second song is
a new song reminiscent of the old songs that May wrote for Queen, with a few
nice blues riffs for good measure (Ahem! So to speak...). The flip side has a
long instrumental "blues battle" between May and the other guitarist on the EP
--- Eddie van Halen! He does some *really* nice blues work.

I've also heard this on the radio. If I can remember correctly, it's supposed to
be out this summer. I can't wait!
