Still
trying to mesh Led Zeppelin with Yes,
Queen released their second album riddled with mythical songs about ogres, fairies, and battling queens. The really interesting thing is that the band refused to use synthesizers. That means that any strange effects heard are done on guitar through a series of effects pedals, layering, and studio tricks. |

Trying
to keep the success of Opera going, they almost did it with this
one. Something was missing, though, and it wasn't quite the landmark album they were hoping for. |

This
is a strange record. Not too cohesive, there are a bunch of different styles
here. And sporting events would never be the same again. Every arrogant team in the world adopted the first two cuts, and they are still pounding them out every week in every stadium in the world today. |

Probably
the last good Queen album released. I keep seeing the crowd at the
Live Aid concert in Wembley Stadium all in unison singing and clapping 'Radio Ga Ga' with the band. Queen owned that day. |

Sadly,
Freddie Mercury's last album before he succumbed to AIDS. What a
tragic loss to the world and the music industry. There will never be another Freddie . . . That said, Queen kind of goes out with a whimper. Granted, at times Freddie was too weak to sing, though his voice still sounds strong. The approach to the songs is melancholic - you just have a feeling that the band knew it was a matter of days before Freddie would die. And, if legend is correct, he did just that days after the album was released. |
