Oh? Fun It I can understand taking away but More Of That Jazz has always seemed like a fairly solid RT song to me. Plus if you took both of those away you'd be left with no Roger vocals on the album, not that much of an issue but it seems a little unbalanced

I don't think it would hurt to adjust the track order, but I wouldn't take any of the tracks off. I like the diversity.

I think the fans and critics who question the title are completely missing the jokes. It may have been inspired by the Montreux Jazz Festival, it's a self-referential wink and nod, too. The track "More Of That Jazz" contains the clips from the album, literally more of that Jazz. The album title and that song refer to the expression "More Of That Jazz". The word Jazz predates the music (it was used to describe the style, not the other way around). It was a slang term originally for various things, generally referring to something as intensely positive and wide ranging. The later expressions "more of that jazz," all that jazz," "don't give me that jazz" mark the point where (like the F word), jazz can also be used negatively. It's a versatile word.

So, no, Jazz as a title was not ever meant to refer to the music named after the word, but to the word itself.

In my opinion, it works perfectly.

Jazz along with the Miracle are Queen's weakest album titles... so in that sense it works :-)
