I have loved Queen ever since I saw the video for "I want it all" on Top of The Pops" in 1989 (Bloomin' 'eck, guv'nor, was it that long ago?). The combination of some of the best talent of their generation will never be forgotten. Freddie Mercury has always written and sung beautifully touching songs. Brian May can rock and some of the guitarwork he can do is absolutely out of this world. "Cornwall's legendary drummer" (as he was once announced on a poster) Roger Taylor keeps rhythm and provides some great throaty lyrics. John Deacon, the often forgotten member, provides the songs with powerful bass (who could possibly say that "Under Pressure" for one would be the same without it?)

This, their final album as a foursome, contains one of their best works since "Bohemian Rhapsody"; "Innuendo". The song sweeps you away through many different styles all wonderfully mixed together. Freddie gives a wonderful performance, considering that he knew that he was dying. And no true Queen fan can deny that "These are the days of our lives" doesn't have meaning for them. This emotional song is pulled off spectacularly by the skilled work of all the musicians and the final spoken words from Freddie "I still love you." are spectacularly haunting.

Enough of my rambling. Buy the album. While you're at it, buy some more Qwueen albums. You simply cannot go wrong in my opinion.
