Who can argue against this album? Even the car song is not that bad (the lyrics are what they are, but musically it's pretty OK; not the best for sure, but my guess is that 95% of the bands would be happy to write this song). It goes on all directions, mixing so many genres, but it's consistantly brilliant, and really groundbreaking for the time.
Bohemian Rhapsody is pretty much everyone’s number 1 song of all time. It’s a sign of just how good this album is, that it doesn’t overshadow the other tracks on here. As the title of the album suggests, this is a grand performance with flourishes, arias, jokes, nostalgia and plenty of hard rock. Some people might not like the 1920s style music hall tracks or Roger’s song about being in love with his car but they are essential parts of the tapestry. Superb!
