When I first heard about the release of Queen A Night at the Opera 30th edition I was very excited because the original was, and remains to be, my favourite album.
The album as been 'digitally remastered' and in the sleeve note, Brian May assures us that the album could not be 'bettered'. Although I'm not falling for that because it could be bettered.
How about including demos, songs that didn't make it into the original record...maybe that could better it.
But it is fair to say that it is a good record, the album starts with the calm Piano scales of 'Death on two legs' then this piano melody becomes more scary as it builds up and the song begins. Right from this moment until God Save the Queen the listener is hypnotised by the incredible album and the amazing songs.
Many of the tracks flow into each other, for example, Death on Two Legs flows into the contrasting 'Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon', which goes into 'I'm in Love with my car'. It's beyond me how Queen managed to get these tracks to flow, but they did! And it works!
The DVD is worth watching, it contains the classic Bohemian Rhapsody video as well as new ones made especially for the release, however I can't same I'm a massive fan of the videos as some are just random pictures.
But this is a good release all the same purely because of the songs. It's worth adding to your collection if you're a big fan like me, although if you're not too fussed about Queen and already own A Night at the Opera in some form then it's not really worth the money.
