Made In Heaven (studio album) by Queen

Queen’s worst album. I understand that they wanted to keep Freddie’s legacy up, but even as a Queen fan, the focus is becoming too much in Freddie, and not Queen. They were an excellent band of 4 members, being some of, if not the best of, l each of their respectives. It ruined the perfect ending Innuendo had. Besides half the tracks jut being crap. You Don’t Fool Me and It’s A Beautiful Day reprise are some of Queen’s worst songs. Tracks 6-8 are beautiful though.

Tracks 4 and 9 - masterpieces 🥰 🚀🪐

Para ser un álbum de recortes, no está nada mal.

If Innuendo was a grand finale to Queen’s studio output, Made In Heaven serves as a worthwhile coda.

Queen's let it be. A hotchpotch of solo tracks, b-sides and unfinished doodles, with only three songs recorded after innuendo. Of the 'new' songs, mother love, is the best, freddie's last vocal performance. A dark track. The other two, the funky you don't fool me, is good, but a winter's tale is dreadful with irritating high pitched vocals from Freddie. The rest is just scraped from the barrels of various solo lp's and a flip side of a previous single release. The title track and, I was born to love you, were originally recorded by Freddie Mercury on his solo LP, Mr.bad guy, both these versions are better than the earlier one's as they're not so poppy. Heaven for everyone, is a song Roger Taylor's band, the cross, recorded with Freddie on guest lead vocals, Queen re-made it, it's okay, but it's nothing special. My life has been saved, originally the b-side to the, scandal, single in 1989, is average at best. It's a beautiful day, is an okay opener of a previously unfinished song, while, let me live, was originally a duet with Rod Stewart, again, it was unfinished, here, it's just a mediocre gospel/rock track, although it does feel quite emotional with Freddie, Brian, and Roger all taking a vocal spot. Most emotional of all though is, too much love will kill you, which because of Freddie's situation is moving, although it does slip into a bombastic power ballad, it's still a good song. All in all, it's the best they could have done in the circumstances but if you're a massive Queen fan you'll probably find it a much more uneven listen than those who are not, as Freddie's vocals veer from his excellent and powerful early eighties sound to the weak high pitched whine of his last few years. Altogether, Just about acceptable.

Who would've expected a hidden ambient track from Queen that sounds like Pink Floyd?
