Notes: This is one of Queen's strongest overall albums. All the songs are so good, it's hard to pick out the two or three best ones. Outside of Japanese lyrics in Teo Torriatte, there is nothing particularly experimental or odd here. Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy reminds us of Queen's sense of humor and stylistically diverse abilities, but it is a pure (not campy) reminder. Though they weren't afraid to dip into social commentary in the past (like Good Company), here they address a strictly American problem in White Man, presenting from the viewpoint of America's Native population. The Millionaire Waltz is intriguing in that they worked a rock song into 3/4 time and managed to pull it off quite well. There aren't any bad songs on this album, but since nothing is really ground-breaking, it's not one of their more remembered offerings.
