(Another really great album - most of theirs are, but this is like Queen's version of the White Album or Abbey Road. Eclectic and all different sounds.)

Death On Two Legs:   this song is very viciously dramatic. Better live. The imagery is good, though ("you suck my blood like a leech," "you never had a heart of your own" ) I do like the high notes. And bass. 7/10

Lazing On A Sunday Afternoon: music-hall, very short, but great. There's bicycle bells to match the line "bicycling on every Wednesday evening" and the harmonies on the  bit   "lou-vre" - especially live - are lovely. Guitar solo in a new key! 9/10

I'm In Love With My Car: interesting that it's in 6/8 timing. Makes me think about cars. Very good melody, though. I can't help but smile, especially at the "rather buy me a new carburetor" line. 7/10

You're My Best Friend: It's a classic, radio-friendly (under four minutes, sentimental, catchy) pop song. Love that John played the keyboards on it. Only Queen could sing a song as incredibly cheesy as this and completely, 100% mean it (Paul McCartney tried with "Silly Love Songs", which got bad reviews, but eventually people liked it. Not like Queen). 7/10

'39:   Absolutely one of my favourites. Great song - a folk song about, essentially, time-travelling. The chords remind me a bit of "I've Just Seen A Face." But it's very original, unique. I enjoy the middle-eight a lot with the ethereal harmonies/vocal. Very singable chorus. 10/10

Sweet Lady: It has an unusual tempo, constantly clashing with itself. Good seventies hard-rock song. The lyrics don't really mean much, it could be a song that's more about the music rather than meaning. Great guitar solo at the end. But not in my favourites. 6/10

Seaside Rendezvous:  more music-hall, old-fashioned sounding stuff they probably heard as kids. It's fun, I think the lyrics are nice (not poetic, but fun). The "brass" section between Roger and Freddie starting near 0:43 seconds in, is amazing. Roger hits a really, really high note at the end. The tap dancing and whistling is great too. 9/10

The Prophet's Song: this has a lot going on, and is also very much of its time, and it's got some eerie guitar (with the low E string dropped to 'D')  which is echoing the theme of death. Almost like a riddle with the poetry style words. They do a choir bit somewhere in the middle. A delay effect on some parts. I don't love it, it's 8½ minutes long. 6/10

Love Of My Life: the end of the other song goes into this, which is nice. This is very classical genre, it even has Brian playing a harp - which sounds beautiful, even if he could only do a tiny bit. Heartbroken lyrics. The guitar mimics a cello halfway in. Very pretty. 8/10

Good Company: I love the song. Love Brian's vocals. It's got good lyrics and melody, the theme being about not wasting your life alone, take care of your friends, and the singer has ignored that message, so he ends up old and grey and alone. I love the ukulele. Guitar jazz band at the end imitating clarinets, trumpets, trombone, bells, and more is lovely. 10/10

Bohemian Rhapsody: so much has been said already about this rock-opera masterpiece. It's very popular and over played a bit, but it's an experience to listen to. So many harmonies, tempo changes, key changes and more. The shivering sound effect produced by Brian's guitar often gives me real shivers down my spine. Roger's voice cuts thru clearly and beautifully on the high harmony (and the Bb6 on "for me!"). This has a different rating scale. It's almost incomparable. 9/10, I guess.

God Save The Queen: of course they had this cover on it, but it's a good version. Brian, as always, playing with guitars being an orchestra. Roger's good at any style of keeping the beat, including this orchestral drumming. 8/10
