This was a real puzzle of an album and I am not quite sure what to think of it yet. Now, I know I must seem like a bit of an idiot trying to figure out a Queen album. But I faced the same problem that I do constantly with my sister's boyfriend. Is he serious or not? Should I be offended or not? Tell me, if you are making fun of me, dammit!
So was Queen being pretentious or making fun of pretentious albums? I would assume if I had to ask that question it means it is being ironic. But I still feel like I am missing part of the joke. Oh well, I certainly have enough practice with that.
Everyone has heard the song "Bohemian Rhapsody". It gave me a smile this time around since it seemed to making fun of the absurdity of Tommy. "You're My Best Friend" was a fun find on this album and one that will definitely get repeated listenings.
So Queen can be fun, if only in small doses.
RATING: 3/5
