Queen - A Night at the Opera

One of the best albums of all time!

I found this album a bit difficult to get into... at first... but once I did it proved to be a work of unspeakable genius. This is, quite simply, one of the best rock albums of all time! June 19, 2008

Opera, indeed!

When I first heard this album in a friend's car several years ago I knew I had to get it! Lively, tongue-in-cheek capering by a group that had so much to offer. Freddie Mercury's early death was a tragedy! At least we have this to remember just how versatile he was! May 26, 2008

A Night Like No Other

1975 and NO ONE was doing anything like Queen! This disc had been hinted at with Queen II, implied on Sheer Heart Attack and, finally, fully realized. I never knew I was listening to hard rock, never could figure out why my parents found this disc blasting from the basement night and day so damned annoying! A Night At The Opera is, arguably, Queen's crowning acheivement. While Bohemian Rhapsody-the most unlikely single to ever top the charts-plays with themes and musical styles, The Prophet's Song takes them all very seriously. Freddie was the showman and the heart of the band, but Brian May was the brains. Yet, Freddie showed his chops with the opener, Death on Two Legs and made us cry with Love of My Life. John scored a top ten with You're My Best Friend-still standing up years later as the close to Will & Grace! And then there was Rodger, who's I'm in Love With My Car was a power ballad to his wheels. Not a bad song here-even God Save The Queen is moving! Any Queen fan worth his or her salt should get the Hollywood Records 2005 Deluxe Edition. In any case, give this one a listen, it still holds up nearly 40 years later-Oh God, how did we get so old? May 18, 2008

I love this album...

This album is absolutely wonderful. The only track I skip is "I'm in love with my car", which is not appealing to me in the least. Every other track is interesting and fun to sing and melodic and memorable. There are not many other bands which can deliver the variety of styles and song themes while creating a cohesive masterpiece. I can not say enough good about this album. April 6, 2008

Greatness

This album is great, it is masterpiece in all aspects... and I don't understand people giving it one star, for it's crime to grade such great music like this... definitely listen to it, for it's definitely worth it and this one of the best if not the best Queens album will live forever...
