Innuendo, no contest, really.

Innuendo, definitely. I love Made in Heaven, but Innuendo is one of their best albums.

I Agree Innuendo tops MIH, but I do agree with the poster who said The Production on MIH is better. I also think Innuendo could have used the the Roger Taylor of the 70's. The heavier songs like Headlong and Hitman are proof of that. His drums sound weak. He Actually sounds better on MIH. While the Made In Heaven title track is one of Queens best, nothing on that album touches Innuendo and the show must go on, the same for These Are The Days Of Our lives.

The drums in both Headlong and Hitman are partially drum machines I think. For some inexplicable reason. The drums in Innuendo (track) were quite good I think.
mike hunt
That's my point, Roger was lazy in later years. Only Innuendo and Ride the wild wind he sounded good. Put the It's Late, Brighton Rock. SHA roger on Innuendo, think how much better it would have been. Thank God Brian took over MIH from Roger and John. He was more creative than the other two. Brian did a brilliant Job recreating the song Made In Heaven, somehow made you don't fool me into a good song. Both had great guitar work.

I think it's a GREAT album. Some here think it's a piece of caca doo doo with synths all over it.
The thing is. ....before this becomes a praise of solely Brian:....
No known demos from John and Roger exist, soooo
.... how will we know?

True, we'll never know. I think MIH is consistenly good, but falls a bit short of great. Better than Coda from Zep.

What I am about to say now might not be popular. But I actually think the Innuendo-album is very overrated. Yes, it has several great songs, but as a whole I find it quite weak.
It is probably the album with most songs that I always skip. Those are:
The Hitman
Ride the Wild Wind
Headlong
Delilah
Don't Try so hard
Bijou
The show must go on, Innuendo and These are the days of our lives are of course great songs. The rocks retake of I cant live with you I also rate highly.
Slightly mad and All Gods People are average songs.

Funny, I've always considered Headlong a great rocker. Don't Try So Hard and Bijou are great songs in their own ways, Freddie and Brian being the high points obviously. Slightly Mad is a brilliant number as far as I'm concerned.

BLASPHEMERRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(*but really, I can only agree with you on a really really really different point regarding "Ride the Wild Wind".... it's a pretty good song elevated to HEIGHTS by Brian's solos; but ultimately it's really The Bangles' "Walk Like An Egyptian")
I love Bijou; it makes most of their 80's stuff sound like filler.
Delilah's inclusion harkens back to the days when they didn't give a shit about having songs like: JESUS, BRING BACK THAT LEROY BROWN, LAZING ON A SUNDAY AFTERNOON/GOOD COMPANY, THE MILLIONAIRES WALTZ, WHO NEEDS YOU, MUSTAPHA.....its twisted campy fun.
Anyways, each to their own. I think Hitman is kinda dry in the mix owing to the recording style and boosting Freddie's timbre and volume on the album

That I skip songs doesnt mean that they are bad songs really. Dont try so hard and Bijou has obvious qualities. But for some reason I always tend to skip those. The songs you compare to Delilahs inclusion: I love all of them! Delilah is quite catchy, but its not a song I tend to play a lot.

We're not comparing those really good/great songs from freddie like leroy brown, millianare waltz with Dililah are we? Anyway, Innuendo is solid, Bijou is the type of song Queen should have done In the 80's. Queen were showing their full talent again on Innuendo. Especially Freddie and Brian.

I've not heard the apparently extensive work that Roger and John had done on MIH before Brian joined the ssssions later on, so whilst his guitars would obviously add to the finished product, I can't say for sure that the examples of Made In Heaven and You Don't Fool Me weren't perhaps actually better before Brian's involvement. (Didn't Dave Richards do most of the work for YDFM?)
It's a shame they didn't put some of Roger and John's working versions of the MIH tracks on as extras on the 2011 remasters. It would also be interesting to know if the tracklisting was exactly the same during their early work, or whether they were working with other Freddie or Queen tracks which Brian then changed for others?
