I've always found this a very weak Queen album, probably the weakest of all. It has two great songs, that are so well known it's ridiculous, and a bunch of filler songs. It's like 12 inch single padded out with studio outtakes.

I pretty much feel this way about almost every Queen album!

Well boys I think QUEEN is bloody brilliant but yes, they do have filler on every record. The gems still outweigh the pyrite poop.

 

"Hot Space" did this band in. Horrible record.

But they rebounded with The Works! By Innuendo they were firing on all cylinders just like in the old days. :yes:

The Works was okay. Wasn't it the album Mr. Mercury pretty much stopped playing the piano? Big mistake.

I don't think Freddie played much piano past Jazz to be honest. He lost interest in it for the most part, which is a shame in many respects because I'd consider him one of the all time greatest pianists in rock and roll. Easily in the same league as Elton and Joel.

I wouldn't go that far. Nor would he, for that matter. But Freddie could write a melody, for sure!

Freddie was humble about his piano skills, I don't think he realized how talented he was at the instrument, and I also don't think he really cared for it after becoming a mega-superstar. I think he found it hard to interact with the audience how he wanted to when sitting at the piano. If you were to ask Elton, I bet Elton would agree Freddie was one of the greats of his era.

This is the first Queen album that's less than flawless for me. Though it's still an alright album.

 

It's Late is one of my very favourites though

It's too late for me now isn't it? :LOL: :D
