Around about the time Queen were breaking records in the Live catagory Radio Ga Ga, I Want To Break Free,Hammer To Fall,It's A Hard Life all good and written by each artist I think
“Radio Gaga”? “Tear It Up”? “Man on the Prowl”? Just not the same band I used to admire.
Queen is playing it safe. Bleh...
From the kind-of-annoying (though still likeable) single Radio Ga Ga through the next four tracks you might say this was a band trying to wear out its welcome. The last four tracks make it all worthwhile, though, and stand with some of the band's best, especially Break Free, a Mercury standout.
This album has the perfect opener and the perfect closer. And plenty of good songs in between. Very underrated!
Queen delivers after the disappointing Hot Space.
Not one bad song on the album. Almost like a sequel to The Game, mixed with good 80s pop!
