Why is Body Language so reviled?

73 to 78, that first album is awesome. Innuendo is on the next level, along with The Game.

Innuendo is way better than the Works. They're just on top of their game in that album.

Holly2003, are you saying Headlong is a weak filler?

Slightly Mad is really good, Headlong is decent. It's all opinion. I think Innuendo, the album was their best since at least The Game, maybe even News Of The World. Though I like Jazz as well.

We all have our own opinions guys but if you like "innuendo" better than "The Works" that is your personal choice, but for me "The Works" is a better constructed album and lets face it these days hardly any tracks from that album are given air play apart from "These are the days of our lives" where as "The Works" does get loads of air play around "Radio Ga Ga" and "I want to break free"
but before you all bitch once again this is my opinion.
Even "Friends will be Friends" wins hands down as to anything on innuendo!

Agree about the song Innuendo -- very ambitious, and maybe the highpoint of their post-seventies output. And yes I think Hitman is filler. It has awful lyrics. Brian wrote three great rock songs for The Game and some cracking rock riffs for Flash Gordon. After that he produced only one good rock song per album at best (and not even one for AKOM). I Can't Live With you is much better than Hitman.

Not Hitman, Headlong.

You have to remember innuendo was rushed because freddie was fading away so they gave fred anything to sing,
and ok there is at least 5 good songs on that album but as for delilah & The hitman which let the album down
they were sure fillers.
I never found innuendo moreish well not like Queen2 or The Game albums.

Delilah fits the mood, just as Seaside Rendezvous fits the mood on ANATO. Innuendo a rushed album, nah I don't think so. A strong album, yes I think so. The Works is a fine album, and could have done without Break Free, speaking of a let down in Queen terms...But as Gerry says....it's a matter of opinion.
And one man's opinion's another mans lie.

Yep, my mistake, I meant Headlong. Hitman though is also an average rock song only. It throws in a lot of ideas as if the band couldnt decide which ones to use so instead used them all (and none of them are exceptional!)

I do like the Innuendo album but it's not their best and not my favourite.

innuendo a strong album yet "The Game" sold more in the US!

But Gerry sales isn't a factor if an album is or was better than its previous? The Game sold well due...........Another one bites the dust and Crazy. But The Game went in my homeland, The Netherlands 'only' gold, while Innuendo reached to twice platinum. According to this measure, Innuendo is in Holland considerd better than The Game...that is a bit far streched isn't it?

I was just mentioning the US as they are a tough market to crack and very fussy and when Queen were no1 over there with "The Game"
It did suggest that the band had got it spot on.
Song writing on that album was also superb and in my opinion much more creative than anything on innuendo.
"Play the game" "Save me" "Dragon Attack" " Another one bites the dust" "Crazy little thing called love" all classic magnificent Queen
at there best! love that album!

The US hard to crack? Nah Gerry, ANATO in the US three times platinum, in the UK 'just' platinum....Races, US twice platinum, UK 'only' once...NOWTW US four times platinum, UK 'only' twice.....Jazz....US twice platinum....UK platinum. After the Game, Queen never reached the platinum status again in the US, but that is only figure wise.

But "The Game" did make that golden number one spot in the US.
Was that the bands first number one album in the states, cos i think it was?

The US wasn't that hard to crack, see the sales. The Game is indeed their first and only number one album.........due Dust and Crazy.........Singles after Dust and Crazy did not set the US charts on fire. I know it is matter of taste.........but I put Innuendo (single) above Free, Dust and Crazy.......anytime, anyday..........
