Made in Heaven

Even if the songs separatedly are not great, I like the concept behind the album, and I find it very consistent too. I listened to it before knowing the existing versions of the songs (I prefer MIH versions).

"It's A Beautiful Day": Nice opener. I love Freddie's vocals, and this song is so stuck in my mind that almost every sunny day I feel like singing it. 7/10
"Made In Heaven": Just a regular song. 7/10
"Let Me Live": Although I like the idea of the three of them singing a verse each, I can't stand Roger's voice. Anyway, I love the gospel feel. 8/10
"Mother Love": I didn't like it when the album was released, but now that I know more about Queen, Freddie and the song, it touches me deeply, especially the last part, with the "Goin' back", the impromptu and so. 8/10
"My Life Has Been Saved": Optimistic song. 8/10
"I Was Born To Love You": I love it. For many years I would listen to the album skipping the previous 5 songs. 10/10 
"Heaven For Everyone": I like Freddie´s vocals. 8/10
"Too Much Love Will Kill You": I really liked Brian's version, and I was gladly surprised to hear Freddie's version (which is, of course, better). 10/10
"You Don't Fool Me": It's not very good but I like it. 8/10
"A Winter's Tale": One of Queen´s most beautiful pieces. 10/10
"It's A Beautiful Day (Reprise)": I like it better than the no-reprise version. 8/10

Oh Lord, i thank the lord above... my life has been saved? Speaking on that song... it's pretty grisly if you think about it...

================================================

Even more so if they included the orignal ending lines, "i'm in the Dark, I'm blind, i don't know whats coming to me."
The whole B-side version is much better to be honest.

I became a fan of Queen after Freddie died, around 1993 or 1994.  So, 'Made in Heaven' was my first and only "original album" release.  I remember getting the album and sitting in my bedroom and listening to it straight through until the early hours of the morning.  In stark contrast to "Innuendo," it was much more uplifting.  I thought it was a perfect ending to the Queen catalog.  One of my favorites, for sure.  

I wonder what will be included on the re-issue?

Your next step would be adding A Winter's Tale, A beautiful day reprise track 12 & 13?

Anyway,

As it comes to personal taste with "polls" like this...

A Beautiful day 8/10 (great as alarm clock tune)
Made In Heaven 7/10 (kinda getting bored with it)
Let Me Live 7/10
Mother Love 9/10
My Life has been saved 5/10 (never liked it)
I was born to love you 8/10 (So glad Queen re-do this song)
heaven for everyone 10/10
Too much love will kill you 9/10 (I prefer Brian's version)
You don't fool me 8/10
A Winter's tale 10/10 (great song during winter time)
A Beautiful reprise 8/10
Track 12 & track 13 4/10 (never could figure out why this is on the album)

It's A Beautiful Day - 8/10 - Makes me think of seals. Makes me happy. Great song.
Made In Heaven - 6/10 - Meh. It's okay, but I would have preferred something else.
Let Me Live - 9/10 - Fred, Rog and Bri singing together = win. Gets a bit boring after the last verse but still a great song.
Mother Love - 10/10 - Very emotional. Pretty much Freddie's last words, especially with the every-song-in-a-few-seconds at the end.
My Life Has Been Saved - 9/10 - I prefer it to the B-side version. Quite emotional.
I Was Born To Love You - 8/10 - Great rocker.
Heaven For Everyone - 8/10 - Good, but I prefer both versions by the Cross.
Too Much Love Will Kill You - 10/10 - Very emotional. Much better than Brian's version IMHO.
You Don't Fool Me - 10/10 - For some reason I love it. I can't explain why.
A Winthers Tale - 10/10 - Very emotional, another last-words-song. Should be at #1 every christmas.
It's A Beautiful Day repise - 9/10 - I like it. A bit too similar to the original one IMO, but it's not like they had much to work with.
Yeah - Too long.
Untitled - 7/10 - Queen meets Pink Floyd. Some of it is quite emotional, but having IABD loop over and over is a bit dull. They could have done so much more with this.
