Queen wrote this album in their studios in Switzerland working with co-producer Dave Richards. Brian has commented that he thinks this album is one of their best and I would have to agree. The album was written in an unusual style, almost like a live performance with elements of improvisation during the sessions.
The album starts with the bolero-style Innuendo, which was a risk, as it was very different - but it worked. Innuendo was a popular single and had different versions released n CD. Other tracks of note on the album include 'Headlong', 'I Can't Live With You', 'All God's People', 'These Are The Days Of Our Lives', and 'The Show Must Go On'. Both 'Headlong', and 'I Can't Live With You' were both started by Brian and then Freddie liked what he heard and put lyrics to the songs. The gospel styled 'All God's People' was actually going to be included on one of Freddies solo album, but eventually all members of Queen added content to it and it was then a Queen classic.
Two songs which have a retropective quality about them are 'These Are The Days Of Our Lives' which has the last ever whot of Freddie on camera and which includes the words '...I still Love You' which may have been a coded message to Queen fans, a thank you ; and also 'The Show Must Go On' which is a great way to close the Chapter which was Queen with Freddie Mercury - it was this song that was in the charts the week Freddie died.
Review Rating : 9Did you know .... The song 'Deliah' on Innuendo is actually about Freddie Mercurys cat Deliah. |
