Although this album only has nine tracks nearly every one became a well-loved part of the Queen repertoire. "Radio Ga Ga" which is an age-old complaint about the songs we grew up with being better than those of the current generation (and in fact radio programmes being better in the good old days) has a catchy chorus which makes you want to sing along. Likewise "I Want To Break Free" an anthem to escaping housework has a punchy beat just right for vacuuming and dancing at the same time. However, I'm afraid so powerful was the effect of the accompanying video that I can never hear this song without seeing a vision of mini skirts, stockings and moustaches! Queen really rocks with the other songs such as "Hammer to Fall" and "Man on the Prowl" but I'm afraid that "Machines Back to Humans" is a weak link and one song that would have been better left unrecorded. Finally a gentle soliloquy in the form of "Is This The World We Created…?" sung by Freddy Mercury and accompanied only by Brian May on a lone acoustic guitar. A simple yet effective arrangement accompanying a powerful message.
