Haha, another really uncool one xD
Queen is amazing and this album is, too. Its only real problem is that it's pretty inconsistent IMO. There are brilliant tracks like the first two, '39, Seaside Rendezvous, Love Of My Life and of course Bohemian Rhapsody, and then there are also I'm In Love With My Car and Sweet Lady... Like, how can so good and so bad tracks coexist on a single album? Considering the bad can just be skipped, the good outweighs it. The whole thing is still wildly uneven, though. Ah well, poor Queen. My favorite of theirs remains their second one, the one I think has the less consistency issues.

This is just a beautiful album. "I'm In Love With My Car" seems kind of silly, but the music is perfect. "Death on Two Legs" is obviously incredible. "Love of My Life."

Wait, I knew U2 and GNR were uncool, but Queen are uncool too?  (Quickly gives a 5 rating)

Queen are one of those 'greatest hits' kind of bands. Their albums are 1/4 singles and heavy filler for the rest.
This album is probably considered their best just because of Bohemian Rhapsody, and I can't really blame anyone for deciding that just based off of the song. The first side is really fun and gets you pumped up going into a very bland second side  (apart from Bohemian Rhapsody).
Oh well. Mercury was still one of the greatest popular singers ever.

They are uncool as fuck, about as much as Supertramp, Deep Purple and Yes.

And if I wasn't typing while this was being posted, I would have quoted it. So, yeah.

Oh fuck, two of those are on my chart. Must have skipped pages 37 and 64 of the hipster guidelines. I'm sorry, I won't do it again.
