I put the Miracle In my top 5 and Innuendo in my bottom 5 of Queen albums. I find The Show Must Go On and Innuendo to be average Queen songs. That's how I feel - no apologies.

yea, my ignorance is showing for having an a opinion, my opinion is, most of the so called fans in these forum are utter gargege, and know nothing about music as a whole. i can't kill you for an opinion about an album, and you can't kill me for having my opinion about what's said in these forums.
The fact remains: People are not stupid for having an opinion different to your own.
YES THEY ARE.
Nah only kidding.
Well, Miracle might be Queen's weaker or weakest album, but it still rates miles above most of the crap that other bands release. Really, even Queen at half throttle would still smoke most other people who put everything they have into their work.
Having said that... INNUENDO!
Great album. Out of all the albums that I put onto my computer for convenient listening, Innuendo is the only album that I got *EVERY* song from. The others, I just picked my favourites but Innuendo just happens to be an album where I can find something great in every song. Even songs I initially hated like Hitman and Ride the Wild Wind I have grown to love. And even Delilah, the song that most people find silly and out-of-place, I can appreciate. (Though the demo was awful).
Anyway. Innuendo is great, and certainly should make up for whatever it is about Miracle that pisses *some* people off.

I was only 4 when Innuendo came out and I can still remember going with my dad to the record store to pick it up. I listened to it non-stop back then, and to this day, it is still one of my favorite albums.
However, I don't see any problem with Delilah. I love the guitar solo. Unrelatedly, Bijou and Don't Try So Hard always bring a tear to my eye.
Although all the tracks are great, I would have prefered it if the I Can't Live With You rocks retake had been on the original cut. Though it wouldn't have been possible.

For my Innuendo it is one of the albums that really makes since a special sense it is the I finish of QUEEN with Freddie and for that each one of the topics that the I interpret serious the I finish and the difficult thing that it was for singing for the avansado that had the illness and the knowledge that everybody would know it that it is not as simple as it seems it is an album that marks the end of a legend but it stops my pleasure it is the best GREETINGS
Innuendo is Queen's masterpiece and centerpiece.
It rocks, it has depth, moumental landmark scope, utter conviction and meaning, emotion, power, passion. Headlong, Innuendo... It also gives the band closure but filled with hope..on TATDOOL and TSMGO. It resounds and rings true with Freddie's and the band's perhaps most triumphant final music document together and while it is unbearably sad, it proves ultimately a ray of soaring hope and radiant glory.

In my opinion, Innuendo is the second A Night at the Opera. Too bad Made in Heaven, although pretty good, wasn't the second A Day at the Races. Alas, if only Freddie were still here...
Which gets me to thinking... if Freddie hadn't gotten AIDS, or maybe if he had lived a bit longer, Queen would have survived grunge easy. They did over come punk when it hit.

Innuendo is my joint favourite album tied with sheer heart attack and secondly also tied is a night at the opera/queen2.

If Freddie hadn't been ill, we'd never have had Innuendo, it'd be a completely different story from 'Magic' on.
exactly! - If freddie hadn't been ill - Queen probably may not have been together after "Magic" - the Queen for an Hour interviews says as much - Freddie was completely sick n tired of the whole album/tour/album/tour/album cycle and wanted a break
...and the only thing that got em back writing/recording was the autobiographical material the situation presented - ironic and a little twisted maybe - but those last three albums were good - BECAUSE of Freddie... Magic/Works/ HS were poorer by comparison in SPITE of Freddie
Freddie 1991
We love you and miss you.
We love you and miss you.
Innuendo is part of my life
Innuendo is the cause why i like Queen now
i remember, march or may of 1991 the first time i saw the Innuendo Video....
The video and music just blows me off !!
Then i decided to know more about that great band
i had only 13 years and my only knowledge in music was... Michael Jackson :O
I remember in June for my birthday i was in bed very sick, so my sister bought me the Casette of Innuendo....
Then i fell in love completely with Queen
Some songs like Im Going Slightly Mad and Dont try so hard i didnt like it as much... but over the years became favourites...
Innuendo, I Cant Live with You, Ride the Wild Wind, All Gods People, Hitman, The Show must go on were the songs i liked the most...
I remember asking me myself, after hearing TSMGO.. Why they release that song.. The rumours maybe true...? This was the end of Queen?
Then became November with the sad news we all know
Innuendo was the best way of closing a career...
and TATDOYL the best way for freddie to say goodbye...

one of their all time best, right up there with queen's first 8 albums, truly great, but sadly only had moderate sucess here in the states, can't understand what happened, so many classic songs, 'slightly mad' is classic mercury.
Listened to this yesterday and was thinking about the amazing input Fred had with this album
Slightly Mad
Don't Try So Hard
All God's People
Delilah
Hitman (Brian confirmed that it was mostly Fred)
Bijou (with Brian)
plus, most of Innuendo was his (I believe Roger wrote the words for the verses based on Fred's improv). The middle flamenco and what have you was all Fred's idea.
That's a fair whack of the album. Plus he then went off and did A Winter's Tale.
I think after '87, Fred really got his songwriting strength back. Barcelona has incredibly complex songs, and his Miracle and Innuendo work is amazing (Delilah notwithstanding)

his way of coping. push himself forward in work as opposed to trawl the gay night clubs as he had in the early 80s.
good point brenski, queen might well have split up had it not been for his decline in health. I believe he had got fed up of touring anyway, and it wasnt just an excuse used when the miracle came round, and what with roger forming the cross and brian's solo album in the works, perhaps they may have called it a day
