I place Jazz as my fourth favourite album after Innuendo, Queen 2, and ADATR. It is just a good album. I love all the songs except 'More of that Jazz'.

Why Queen never played Dead On Time alive?

..."it was like if Freddie was just beside me singing what I was feeling!!!
sorry about my colourfull language guys
just cant express how beautifullly true that song is (and can be)!!!"
Hey Azmandaman, no need to say sorry about your colourfull language, it's actually quite funny (and I somehow am getting better at understanding what you're saying without having to read it 4 times lol ;))
As for me,in my not so colourfull language :(: Jazz is a great album!

So, i went to go get it, and there was my teacher and 2 other kids crowding around my cd player, and they were listening to Mustapha! my teacher (who's really col, shes my fave) shes like "wow, it sounds like the Lion king!"

'Jealousy' really grew on me. At first I didn't like the sound of the acoustic guitar but I grew to love it for the deeply personal lyrics and beautiful harmonies.. and the ascending note thing at the end I love too, really gives it character.

Chicka,
The album will grow on you as will Mustapha the most unrated song in the Queen catalogue, IMHO.
Mustapha is a unique song because it has a Eastern riff to it as does Jealousy which has an almost hypnotic quality to it, a Indian sounding record with a riff like a sitar playing. Absolutely unique and beautiful and ahead of its time since Sting has used Middle Eastern and Indian riffs in his music just recently, ie., Desert Rose. Also, this was before Peter Gabriel song with Yassour D'Noir i.e., In Your Eyes.
Freddie Mercury was ahead of his time, in many things, especially his music.
Kriz ;o)

- Jesus, talk about hyperbole. So because somebody did something similar to Freddie 20 years after he did it, that makes him ahead of his time? Was he ahead of his time because Robbie Williams has recently been using the half microphone-stand?
What about the fact that numerous other bands, such as The Beatles, Led Zeppelin and Miles Davis had incorporated Indian and Middle Eastern riffs and elements way before Jazz?
Just because some people did things that Fred had done after him, it doesn't follow that therefore nobody had done those things before him.

WTF? Arrogant aren't we! Yes LED ZEP use Eastern rhythms before Queen but let Robert Plant sing Mustapha if he did it the way he sang Innuendo COVER YOUR EARS! PU!
I was making a point that Queen was one of the pioneers of blending rhythms, calm down, chill, have a pint a two.
