Listening statistics & highlights
Very gritty early "indie" sound. Doesn't have the same songwriting panache as Doolittle or Bossa Nova, but some of Joey Santiago's best guitar work, TBH.
The music has a very fun and energetic feel to it throughout.... honestly, I was surprised at how dark the lyrics to some of the deep cuts are ("Oh Why?", for example). Also: "Rip it Up" kind of slaps.
One of Queen's more eclectic albums (pretty high bar, TBH). I was under the distinct impression that "Good Company" from A Night at the Opera was the only time Brian May ever broke out the ukelele.
TBH, this album is full of fairly forgettable songs. I understand why the title track is the only one that gets any airplay, but I don't understand why this album ended up on this list... Although I do like how they use the refrain from that track as a leitmotif. "Much Too Much" sounds a lot like a worse version of "I Can See For Miles" from The Who Sell Out. I could have done without the "Mannish Boy" cover.
