The last album released in Freddy Mercury's lifetime "Innuendo" is an interesting collection of tracks. What is particularly striking is that this is the first Queen album not to give individual writing credits for each song. Perhaps after all the rivalry over the years the group had matured into a homogenous whole where the identity of the group was more important than any one member of it. Still, you can roughly guess who wrote what if you are familiar with the writing style of the band. There are twelve tracks, each with a different sound. "I'm Going Slightly Mad" has Freddy singing "I'm knitting with only one needle" with only a touch of irony. "These Are the Days Of Our Lives" is a poignant song looking back on old times. As we all know Freddy was in the last stages of dying of Aids so this gives depth and meaning to this sort of song. I also have to say that he never had sung better in his entire career giving a controlled and heartfelt rendition. Perhaps "The Show Must Go On" best demonstrates his attitude "I'll face it with a grin/ I'm never giving in/ On- with the show". A fitting swan song to a remarkable career.
