So I bought my first records when I was 12 in the mid-70’s, and “A Night At The Opera” & “A Day At The Races” were early additions to the collections, and have always been a fan of Queen… This is a spectacular album, and really enjoyed the diversity of music throughout the tracks – and it was produced with exceptional audio quality, which always scores points in my book… So many great tracks – especially on Side 1, and the best IMO were – “Death On Two Legs” – 6-stars out of 7… Great revenge track about their former Trident Studios manager… “Lazing On A Sunday Afternoon” – 4-stars out of 7… Fun little ditty with a lot packed into this 1:08 track… “I’m In Love With My Car” – 5-stars out of 7… Enjoyed the power and guitar work on this one… “You’re My Best Friend” – 7-stars out of 7… Staple on the soundtrack of the 70’s – absolute classic… “39” – 5-stars out of 7… Always one of my deep cut favs, and finally got to see it performed live in 2022 when we did a spur of the moment weekend trip to Minneapolis to see Queen & Adam Lambert perform – highly recommend by the way… “Love Of My Life” – 4-stars out of 7… This version is a bit over-produced, as I prefer the stripped-down version they used to play live – but a really unique, and well-written track… “Bohemian Rhapsody” – 7-stars out of 7… Loved this one from the first listen, and one of the foundational tracks in the rock canon… Only compliant was the dead spot at the end of Side 1, and beginning of Side 2, as everything from “Sweet Lady” though to “The Prophet’s Song”, are nowhere near as good as everything that preceded it on this album… Also – “Lazing On A Sunday Afternoon” was a perfect alternative track, and they really didn’t need to add 2 more shanty’s (i.e. “Seaside” & “Good Company”) as that was really a bit much… Would probably give this a 4.50 if I could, as there is so much goodness here, but the dead spot in the middle, and a few too many “shanty” tunes – keeps it from registering as a 5 for me… Awesome album, from one of the true originals – highly recommend!
