Who said my party's over?
Me. It was me.
Anyway I haven't heard the entire album but I rather like Party/Kashoggis Ship then the rest of the album (what I've heard is great). One track I'm not really pleased about is 'Was it All Worth It?'. It was alright but I wasn't fond of it. Meh, I guess it'll grow on me like a rash.

Since this is an appreciation thread, I guess Bullwinkle can't post :)
Lol...!
I'll post anyway because I do not under stand what precipitated that comment.
The Miracle is in my Top 5 of Queen albums for songs like KS, IWIA, tIM, B, and RMF.
I always thought that most fans consider this to be a below average Queen album.
Well, dammit, someone around here hates The Miracle, I just can't remember who now.
Apologies, Bull
'Tis me. I also thought Taylor-Mayed or Ogre T Raylot didn't like it either. But, me mouth is shut.
Yes, this is one of their best from 80’s. I like the most The Miracle, I Want It All and Was It All Worth It.
IMHO "A Night at the Opera" is the best album ever but the one I love more is "The Miracle".Is the first album I bought when was released back in 1989.After viewing on tv the videos of I want it all and then Breakthru I bought that little audio cassette which is the first stone of my now massive music collection of(not only)Queen.A very sunny album,full of energy,power,positivity,will to live and loving of life.To me,if it was a coin while "Innuendo" is the moving,meaningful side "The Miracle" is the light and happy face of it.
Yes the production is awesome in The Miracle. I think it`s a good album but too "single-esque" in terms of song length and form. I wish there were some more variety like in the early albums: some very long numbers, some very short ones, etc
As it happens, I took the CD out in my car yesterday and I thought 'fuck this is a good album' not listened to it in ages. I love 'My baby does me', great bass and guitar. and on another not from a past thread, Johns bass in Rain Must Fall is fantastic.
After WORKS and AKOM this was just pure genius!!! If there's anything I really DIDN'T like about those two albums from mid 80s- it was production and too much keyboards and not enough clear, crisp and sharp guitar... That's definitely the best production on any Queen album- no doubts!!! Also- agree on Brian's playing- it's absolutely brilliant on this album; seems he was practicing a lot prior to recordings...
Many ppl dislike Party, and... I don' mind this track till guitars come in, but when they do- OMG, it's awesome!!! Som eof the riffs from Khashoggi's Ship or Hang On In There are also second to none! And how about longer version of IWIA???? I can't believe they cut this heavy riff from the middle, just before the "fast" section- it's one of the best rifffs I've ever heard!!!! And "Was It All Worth It"- one of the greatest intros, definitely one of the best riffs, the ending is just so energetic and so powerful- I always wish they played this riff there few more times...
I'm not very big fan of Rain Must Fall or My Baby Does Me, but I do not dislike them... Also not a huge fan of SCANDAL, but there's some brilliant solo (different one, additional) on 12" version (if you can stand this shitty mix...)... Breakthru was THE FIRST QUEEN SONG I've ever heard, so obviously I have a spot for it...
All in all- I think it's brilliant album, definitely in my top5; definitely the best in 80s, the best Queen studio album since THE GAME or maybe even JAZZ... Great come back to ROCK...

Hahaha, Zeni! I thought you were joking!!
I thought TM was your favorite album, Mike???
I like TM a lot. "Breakthru" is the best song on the album IMO and the single-released B-sides were all strong as well. I also like the beats of "My Baby Does Me." Also, the songs that were left off are good too.
But I will say "The Miracle" song is a bit lame. Maybe the video adds to it, I don't know.

I have always like the The Miracle album.
Was it all worth it is one of my alltime favourite Queensongs
Never liked The Invisible Man and still don't.
But the rest of the album is FANTASTIC!

The Miracle is absolutely one of my favorite Queen albums. I love Party/Khashoggi's Ship and I don't see why a lot of other people don't. Breakthru is just a very upbeat song and I feel like it's a predecessor to Headlong. Anyone else agree or am I just delusional? :-P

One more comment like the above dissing of The Miracle and I'll have your Stepford license revoked ... ok maybe you are right.
The Miracle has often been my favorite, but it depends on my mood.
Album on the whole is quite good. I love IWIA and WIAWI and scandal. but the beginning of the album (screams) you'd be forgiven for putting it down. You'd miss out on a great album though
"The Miracle has often been my favorite, but it depends on my mood."
That song used to scare me when I was little. I really don't know why.

Shit!
I meant the album not the song. It is an average Queen song despite the smarmy lyrics.
Oftentimes my wife catches me humming "That day will come/one day you'll see/when we can all be friends" and she sings along.
