Innuendo

I Revisited this album recently, Excellent record this was. Aged really well. I wonder how this album never took off like their earlier stuff. Especially after freddie died. List your top 5 from this album, Mine are The Show Must Go On, Innuendo, These are The Days, Slightly Mad and Don't Try So Hard. Almost every song on this was good.

It is up with their earlier creative phase. Very beautiful crafted album.

Very difficult to choose. It is in top 3 Queen albums.

(*the preferences for top 5 on any Queen album always fluctuate by mood; in this instance it's songs i haven't heard a million times and still adore and appreciate, the above all make me laugh or smile or reflect)

I agree Dililah and Hitman was the weak spot on an otherwise great album. Maybe not with their first 6 albums, but on the next level of good Queen albums. Slightly Mad is one of my favorites by the way.

I agree, Delilah was not a good song. I get why they indulged Freddie, but still, arguably their worst track overall. Hitman was never a favorite either. Especially for being such a rocker. I never liked the breakdown where the synths took over just before the solo. (Is that where it comes in? I haven't listened to it in sometime)
But:
Innuendo
Headlong
Don't Try So Hard
These are the Days
My favorites from this album.

Great album. Never took off? Not sure, 2 weeks at no. 1 in the UK and as far as I remember very good sales around Europe. Remember, Queen were veterans at this stage, but it certainly wasn't a flop. Besides, the album was released early in 1991, so by the time Freddie died, the general public already had Greatest Hits II to buy and as you might now, they absolutely went for it, making it the 10th best selling record ever in the UK. Best tracks? Innuendo, Slightly Mad, Don't Try So Hard, Ride the Wild Wind, Days of Our Lives, Bijou, The Show Must Go On.

Those are my favorites as well, I'm really talking about the States more than Europe. Queen albums always did well over there and Innuendo topped the charts in the UK. The Show Must Go On is now considered a classic over there as well. I'm really wondering how this album never took off in the States. Perhaps if they went on tour to promote it it would have done much better. 1991 was before grunge exploded on the scene.

I really struggle with this album. It's a winter album. Cold artwork and cold sound - totally at odds with the summer vibe of The Miracle. I can't hear TDOOL now for obvious reasons. Was happy that it did well but was somewhat over Queen by that point in my life.

You might wanna try a graphic equalizer to get past those frequency problems. I'm sorry to. ..hear about that.

To me, Innuendo is just an average Queen album ... Good, but unspectacular ... Definitely not in my Top 6.

TatDoOL - Classic

ICLwY - Excellent
H - Excellent

RtWW - Very Good

Delilah - Good

DTSH - Somewhat Good
IGSM - Somewhat Good
I - Somewhat Good
tSMGo - Somewhat Good

tH - Fair
Bijou - Fair

AGP - Cringeworthy

One of my least favourite albums.
1. Innuendo
