Thoughts

This is an interesting album, the way it’s set up - two halves with the first being penned by Brian May and the second by Freddie Mercury. You can absolutely tell the difference! The first half feels like more standalone songs, more upbeat and poppy. The second half is definitely darker, more elaborate, more Freddy. And yet somehow they do work together, finishing off with the iconic Seven Seas of Rhye.

Rating: 4 / 5
