I do enjoy this, but it's not as good as other Queen albums. The highlights are awesome (i.e. "Somebody To Love", "Tie Your Mother Down", "Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy") and the rest is fine, but nothing particularly special.

Would probably have been their best album if it weren't for "Tie Your Mother Down" and "White Man". "Long Away" is possibly my favorite Queen song. "Drowse" is brilliant, too. But yeah, "Tie Your Mother Down" is horrid.

My favourite of theirs. 'Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy' is their best song.

"The Millionaire Waltz" is their finest track from any of their albums. Play it loud.

Interesting comments.
Personally, this is my least favourite of Queen's "great albums". Somebody To Love is a classic, and The Millionaire Waltz is a great under appreciated track, but I just don't care for the rest of the album.. Queen had far better songs in their discography to listen to.

My third favorite after Opera & Heart Attack. The only song I dislike is "White Man", it's barren with no groove, no melody, just some riffs. Unfortunately it was placed right between the two best songs. I enjoy "Tie Your Mother Down", it's got tons of energy and great for concerts. Overall, the album exudes a feeling of elegance and pomp, like Liberace at a black tie dinner party.
