Queen innuendo listening to it today and AIDS

When the album came out then Freddy Mercury passed. Twenty six years later I still feel that he was writing in music his obituary, the album to me is an amazing piece of work. I tell my wife I just hear remorse in music and lyrics, perhaps I’m wrong

Most of the upbeat songs are Freddies, most of the interspective songs are Brian and Taylor's Johonny Dec 2017 #5

It seems like Freddie was using the album making process for escapism while the other band members were focused on watching him slowly pass away. Thus show must go on and these are the days of our lives aren't Freddie tunes, but oddly Hitman and Delilah are.

One of their best albums.
