Some albums are destined to leave their mark on the history of music forever, and this is one of them, but not necessarily for the popular and heralded reasons.
Sure, A Night At The Opera contains Bohemian Rhapsody, arguably one of the most popular songs of all time. It also contains You're My Best Friend, a song that has been used in dozens of movies, TV shows and commercials when the mood suits the purpose. Both are indeed great songs.
But what about those generally ignored? Death On Two Legs, the album opener, is on eof the classic songs of all time. '39 has always been a personal favourite. Love Of My Life, which was usually performed acoustically live, has mostly been under-rated.
As to be expected with the title, the album runs like an opera, with each act running smoothly into the next, and each complementing the other.
Memories : Freddie Mercury's front choppers when I first saw the Bohemian Rhapsody video. That could scare the life out of you!!
Rating : This album is timeless, and almost perfectly arranged and performed. 5/5.
