Nice review.
Everybody says that Delilah is not good enough to be in the album but I´m very glad Freddie insisted to inlcude it.
TATDOOL is so touching and sad and I´m about to cry everytime I hear it, but then Brian´s guitar starts to meeow and I simply must laugh. I like it. There are not many cheerfull moments during this album.

A truly wonderful, bittersweet album. Even with Delilah ( which I actually do like!).
I'm so glad Queen did the album. DOOL is my personal favorite from it, and I get goosebumps every time I listen to it.
@sweetcaroline...would be nice if you took a minute or so to give a thought of your own. Especially considering what an important album Innuendo is. Deserves more than just a link about it.

Wonderful album! I was listening to the fragments of it recently and it struck me what a great guitarist Brian is. His licks are always so well fitting to the music. I'm not a guitar expert, but even if there are hundreds of people who are more "technically capable", there is very few who have such a music feel.
Innuendo - classic. Everything in the middle segment is perfect. And the tone of Freddie's voice is amazing here , specially "anything you think that you could ever be", at 4:17 here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2N0TkfrQhY
Headlong - one of the best video clips of the band
Don't Try So Hard - one of my favourite song in the history of music. And IMO one of Freddie's greatest vocal performance. I feel this song very much for some reason.
TATDOOL - only last week I realised how beautiful this song is. Putting aside all the circumstances around this song and the video clip, it's just a very pretty song. And to me, Roger's magnum opus.
Bijou - another very emotional song. When Brian and Freddie were working together, great music was usually made.
TSMGO - legendary song and performance. Another outstanding vocal performance. And according to people who were at Back To Tapes event, instrumentals are equally impressive.
The Hitman - great riff.
All God's People - I like it.
Ride The Wild Wind - a rhythm section reminds me of machine gun.
I Can't Live With You - could've been better if the band agreed on using real drums back then. But overall very pompous song, a lot of rich vocals so I like it! I especially like the last minute when there is an impression that the band were improvising.

The bass during the "Love me, baby Don't be so cool" break in Hitman is so damned perfect.
Simple, uncomplicated, but Deaky nails it.

I listened to it earlier today, not realising it was the album's anniversary. It's absolutely one of their finest, and as said by many, wonderful and bittersweet. You'd think with the passing of time, Freddie's death (and how painful the album can be at times) would get easier to accept, but it's not.
I've spoken about this a few times over the years on QZ: I had always known about Queen, and liked their music as a kid - but I didn't really get in to them until MIH in '95. That (a copied cassette before I went out and bought the CD) and Innuendo were what made me truly appreciate them (I played both to death and have had numerous replacements over the years) and that's when I delved into the back catalogue and truly fell in love with the band. Happy days, many good memories :) (from the music and what was going on in my life at the time).
Innuendo and MIH still rank in my top 5 Queen albums. I can't see that changing!

I really like Innuendo but the skip button is always ready for Delilah and All God's People. They just don't work to my taste. Freddie was sure singing well on this album though.

Just one hell of an Album. I fucking love it!!
Invisible Woman
Innuendo is one of my most favourite Queen album. I like almost all songs but Innuendo, I'm Going Slightly Mad, Bijou, The Show Must Go On, Headlong and These Are The Days Of Our Lives are my favourite songs.

Innuendo, The Show Must Go On, Ride The Wild Wind and These Are The Days Of Our Lives make the album.
The rest is poorly mixed and produced.
6 out of 10 for me.
