I've always been an off and on fan of Queen, since my father had thier albums laying around somewhere all the time. Mostly I had heard all of thier biggest hits, such as Bohemian Rhapsody, We Will Rock You, We Are The Champions, and the like. Also, my dad had told me that this was one of Queen's weakest albums. But I decided to take a listen, and here's what I found.
These are the songs I found to be the most interesting:
Innuendo-
This song had good lyrics, but an amazing melody, sounding a little Spanish, and then morphing into something completely different.
I'm Going Slightly Mad-
A very good song lyrically and musically, something I'm sure we can all relate to. The chorus has a distinct " Monster Mash" quality which is pretty cool.
Headlong-
A cool sounding song, with a lot of cool guitar parts in it. It has really uplifting lyrics. It makes you want to at least tap your foot, if not air guitar it in front of a mirror.
Ride the Wild Wind-
Reminiscent of a motorcycle ride way out on a country road in nowhere. It's got a great vocal melody that collaborates perfectly with the instruments.
The Hitman-
This song has a greta guitar part and better lyrics. Amusing, too, saying "Love me love me baby, I've been to hitman school."
The Show Must Go On-
A fitting song for the last song on the album. It has amazing lyrics ( "My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies") and a good introduction.
This album was really good and interesting to listen to. I would reccomend that you listen to the beginning and end and just skip over the middle. Just joking. Listen to the whole album because I think you'll like at least one song on it.
4/5
