![A Night at the Opera [Bonus Tracks] by Queen (CD, Sep-1991, Hollywood) - Picture 1 of 1](https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/CGMAAMXQU6tQ9ny4/s-l500.jpg)
This is definately one of the best of the bands releases. You'll find the widely popular song "Bohemian Rhapsody" on this but in my opinion (as a fan of the band for 30+ years) there are many more tracks on this cd that are equal to this very well known tune. Take Brian Mays' "I'm In Love With My Car" as an example, its a great melodic song that pays homage to the feelings that are stirred by the freedom of driving (in his case at the time a Jaguar) a finely tuned automobile. Giving the listener a great flowing feel, and balancing both hard rock and soft sounds, with the intimate vocals of Freddie Mercury, every song on this disk is a true classic. If your a Queen fan, then this cd is a must own.
I'm a life long Queen fan. I have had their albums on vinyl, 8 track, cassette, and now CD. This by far is the Queen album any one new to this most underrated band should start with. Not only does it have that song featured in Wayne's World, but there are other songs here that surpass that by a large margin. If you are a fan of all types of music, then this album is sure to please. Rock, opera, ballads. No album has such variety. Buy it and live a better life for having done so.
This collection of songs introduced Queen to the United States with the epic track, Bohemian Rhapsody. Queen had already made their presence known in the UK when this master piece exploded "across the pond", and boy are we thankful. This album shows Queen's range from slamming hard, soulful balled, to playful diddy - they covered all bases. Freddy Mercury's voice is like non other, Brian May's signature guitar sound cannot be matched, and the rhythm section of John Deacon and Roger Tayler is a double threat of vocals and air tight rhythm. This album transcends any music genre, it is simply a must have for any music lover.
I originally received "A Night At The Opera" as a birthday gift when it was first released in 1975....I was 12. I immediately loved it, and became a big fan of the band (up until Hot Space). The album is pitch perfect, reflecting the personality of every band member who contributed writing and ranges from delicate and endearing pop sentiment of "You're My Best Friend" to thunderous, balls-to-the wall rock (Death On Two Legs.... & Bohemian Rhapsody), without sounding contrived or inauthentic. The variety and scope of Queen's song writing, talent, intelligence and showmanship are perfectly captured here making it the timeless classic it is and deserving of it's well earned and deserved place in rock's pantheon of outstanding recordings.
Perfect condition in factory sealed packaging. Winner! Brian May listens to it in order, and recommends it to be played that way in many interviews.
