Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: I love this album... Comment: 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. Customer Rating: Summary: Greatness Comment: 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... Customer Rating: Summary: Queen - At Their Most Eclectic Comment: This album is best known for producing the monster Queen hit "Bohemian Rhapsody" which has become an all time classic still receiving major airplay more than 30 years after it's release. The album also spawned John Deacon's "You're my Best Friend" another huge hit. I think this was the album that introduced me to Queen back in the day and I remember being totally fascinated by it. I had literally never heard anything like this before, and it remains a truly unique album to this day. Queen throws everything at the wall to see what sticks and for the most part it all works. The album contains metal, progressive rock, pop, ragtime, folk, ballads pop, hell even a song about being in love with your car! It sounds stupid, but Roger Taylor's gritty vocals and percussion work make it irresistible. "Death On Two Legs", "39", "Love Of My Life", and "The Profit Song" have all become Queen classics Ya gotta love it, and this album shows everything that made Queen great. Customer Rating: Summary: The best! Comment: About the best album of all time. If you have never listened to this before you have missed musical talent of the highest caliber. Customer Rating: Summary: A Must-Have Classic Comment: While this CD contains such classics as 'You're My Best Friend', 'Love of My Life' and 'Bohemian Rhapsody', it has so much more. One of the tracks that's totally different is 'Seaside Rendevous' - not what I expected but a great song with Queen's patented harmonies. This is a must for anyone completing a CD collection, and I guarantee it won't just sit and gather dust. More Reviews
Editorial Reviews: Nothing succeeds like excess--at least that's the case with Queen's breakthrough classic, A Night at the Opera. On one level, the title is a reference to the band's operatic pretensions, best in evidence here on the classic "Bohemian Rhapsody," which was championed by headbangers a generation before being revived by the Wayne's World set. Of course, A Night at the Opera was also the title of a Marx Brothers movie, and the reference isn't lost on Queen, who seldom scaled the heights of pomprock without a knowing wink. The album is remembered for its meticulously produced bombast, but the truth is that there's a wide variety of material here, from the gorgeous piano-based "You're My Best Friend" and the McCartneyesque "39" to the music-hall-style "Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon" and the pedal-to-the-metal rockers "Death on Two Legs" and "I'm in Love with My Car." A Night at the Opera is viewed by most as the quintessential Queen album, and justifiably so. --Daniel Durchholz
