  • Overall:

    Brilliant

    By bboucher790  Nov 4, 2006

    Pros: Some of the best lyrics ever made, for any genre of music.

    Cons: Queen no longer exists, but this album wouldn't exist otherwise.

    "Innuendo" is quite easily the most dramatic conclusion to a band in the history of Rock'n'Roll. Not to mention the most intense finale to an album, "The Show Must Go On". "Innuendo" is one of the top ten best al...bums ever created, period. Lyrically and vocally, this album is stellar. The entire album is written so well and has so much emotion, it will give you chills every single time you listen to it. "Innuendo" had much success when it came out, but I feel the death of Freddie Mercury distracted this masterpiece of an album. This is probably the most forgotten record in the history of rock. When the greatest albums of all time are discussed, I rarely hear anyone talk about this album. It baffles my mind. Go out, buy this album and get lost in the world of Queen. You will not be dissapointed with "Innuendo", because the show must go on... Read more Less

    Music:

    Queen's best album, by far

    By oleexpress  Jan 25, 2005

    Pros: Their adversity produced one of the best albums ever

    Cons: Their last full length album of original songs

    First of all, this album has, in my opinion, THE best song ever recorded in The Show Must Go On. The last cut on the album it shows a band giving it their all knowing they don't have much time left. It has been my favorite song since it's r...elease in 1991 and I find it hard to believe it will be toppled. Top to bottom, this album is a classic that any true music fan should have. It is chock full of great songs. The whole first side is wonderful. The second side gets a bit more meloncholy with Days of Our Lives and Delilah, but overall, this is one album I can listen to over and over again and not get tired of. Highlights include The Show Must Go On, Days of our Lives, Innuendo, Headlong, Ride the Wild Wind and The Hitman. But the songs not mentioned are very good as well. This is the album made with the whole band knowing what was going on with Freddie and they made a classic. Read more Less

Pro Reviews: Innuendo

  • All Music Guide

    Unbeknownst to the public, Freddie Mercury had been diagnosed with the AIDS virus in the late '80s. Although his health weakened by the '90s, Mercury insisted that the band work on music until the very end; their final album turned out to be 1991's Innuendo. Although it didn't receive the same critical praise as its predecessor, 1989's The Miracle, it was another strong album and global hit (again going gold in the U.S.). With hindsight, the song's lyrics are blatantly autobiographical from Mercury's standpoint, such as the reflective "These Are the Days of Our Lives" and the bold "The Show Must Go On." Also included are a pair of tracks that deal with mankind's inability to live harmoniously (the superb epic title track and "All God's People") and a humorous tribute to Mercury's beloved pet felines ("Delilah"). Queen's heavier side is represented by both the rock radio hit "Headlong" and "The Hitman," while "I'm Going Slightly Mad," "I Can't Live With You," and "Don't Try So Hard" sho...w the band's pop sensibilities in full force, and on "Bijou," Brian May gets to show off his guitar chops. Innuendo was a fitting way to end one of rock's most successful careers. - Greg Prato, All Music Guide Read more Less

Biography

Queen

Few bands embodied the pure excess of the '70s like Queen. Embracing the exaggerated pomp of prog-rock and heavy metal, as well as vaudevellian music-hall, the British quartet delved deeply into camp and bombast, creating a huge, mock-operatic sound with layered guitars and overdubbed vocals. Queen's music was a bizarre yet highly accessible fusion of the macho and the ... Read more
