Freddie Mercury-Send In The Clowns

neither is lambert he is truly awful.

At least i can understand the lyrics when he sings!

The Works and Hot Space better than Innuendo? Seriously? I cannot see that, even putting considerations of personal preference aside. If you like the Queen-sound, which I assume you do, I can't see what would tick you off about Innuendo. Sure, it could have used better production in some places, but songwriting and playing are excellent! Hot Space, on the other hand, sounds so bland throughout, like they had already given up on it halfway through the writing-stage. I think that Hot Space and The Works could be made into one good album, but half of both are filler.

maybe but he does not deliver Queen songs the way Freddie used to do it.
No one can do Queens music justice only Freddie.

Yes it was the best songwriting since the seventies.

Gerry do you want brian and roger to stop performing because freddie died?

It was more consistent, at any rate. There are definite highlights on all '80s albums, but they contained much more filler than the '70s work. Innuendo on the other hand contained very little filler IMHO, but in many ways that goes for The Miracle too. I do think Innuendo is leagues better than The Miracle, but that is simply a point of opinion. By more or less objective Queen-standards, though, The Miracle and Innuendo are far superior to Hot Space, The Works and A Kind Of Magic.

Thomasquinn: I dislike innuendo simply because it sounds so strained and there is no fun it,
i do however like " all gods people" as its brashy with lots of trade mark opera type vocals and lashings of guitars and cymbals going on
and Im going slightly mad is a great track along with Headlong but thats it really.

FUN? Do you think they would be able to have FUN!

It really is down to personal opinion at the end of the day.
i have no fault with Queens back catalogue apart from innuendo & Made in Heaven, where i feel track 13 was a waste of space,
when something more worthy with freddie could have been used.

But really your excuse is fun? Freddie was dying brian was depressed roger and john were lost they stopped having fun after the magic tour.

jefffab: check out Queens JAZZ album they were having loads of fun on that album
and you could feel it!

Thats not the point how could they have fun when freddie was fucking dying!

Ok, I see my views are diametrically opposed to yours. I guess you consider music as primarily revolving around vocals? I prefer the instrumental aspect of music myself. Still, if that is the case, on the basis of that fact and your remarks about the "fun" sound, it seems it's really the production sound of Hot Space you prefer over that of Innuendo, not the actual songs or albums.
