Hi funkyrake
It's a fantastic album IMO. I'm more into Mother Love, but Winter's Tale, Let Me Live, My Life Has Been Saved and Its a Beautiful Day are special favourites. And I think Freddie's vocals on this album are super and quite beautiful.

Newbie here. I love every song on MIH. The very most beautiful song on the album, and that I have heard in my lifetime of listening is A Winter's Tale. Written composed and keyboarded by Freddie, it has a much different, surreal sound and feel. I hear more appreciative beauty than sadness and self blame, putting himself down as in Mother Love (also painfully beautiful). AWT is so psychedelic it leads me to believe Freddie felt his morphine while writing it. Nevertheless the song exudes positivity, hope, and inner peace. I give AWT a 10+++.[/QUOTE]
Great first post. Welcome.

Reading a couple of the posts on here is making me really angry. Sure, guys, let's just take a shit all over Freddie Mercury and the kind of person he was.
What in the hell makes people think Freddie wouldn't have liked the album? His vocals on the album beautiful.
I'd go on, but none of these people are probably on here anymore so it would be pointless and silly. If they are still around for some reason, I'd like to see them come out and defend their comments. I'm mostly talking about drwinston and Sherwood Forest.

It seems that this person had been just going and reviewing the albums. Kind of a neat idea, even if some of his opinions make me want to punch him. This was a while ago.
Worst Review Ever!
Simply put, "Made in Heaven" is a gem!
By this time -1995- there was no way i thought that Queen would release an album that could top "Sheer heart attack" or "Innuendo" on my personal list of the albums i most enjoyed listen to.
I wasn´t prepared for the experience. And it was an experience that i have never achieved before or after that album. I remember going to a store on the day of release and just out of curiosity i put the headphones on and started to listen to bits of it. I imediatelly stoped because i knew what was coming. It was brilliance and i wanted to save the best for when i get home alone.
I listen to the album and i actually cried! When "Mother Love" came in my headphones, i just broke. When i heard "I Was Born to love you" my admiration for Brian just increased - if that was even possible - and by the end of the album i was speechless.
I wasn´t expecting something as brilliant as this. A work of genius!
There was a review at the time that said that MIH was probably the most beautifull album in rock.
I have to agree with this. Beautifull!
The way they presented each track was just outstanding, and Brian was superb during them all and so was Roger and John.
I was proud of the boys, and still am!

I'd only skimmed over the replies here previously. I'm wondering if the posters you mentioned have actually heard the album at all, because if I had any doubts about Freddie's ability to pull off the songs, they would've been trumped as soon as I heard them. I hear unadulterated power in Freddie's performances of Mother Love and Too Much Love Will Kill you (this was recorded in '89 anyway, they clearly haven't done their research). Nothing that remotely resembles weakness.

A quick review from me too,Its abeautiful day,a nice way for entering,the made in heaven,much better orchestration,let me live,a great song,shows that the band had a lot left to give,plus is the first and only time we had main vocals from the three guys,mother love a very touching ballad,the fact that this is Freddie's last recording gives it a big sentimental,my life has been saved,nothing special,they could leave it outside,IWBTLY,great great,much better than the original stupid poppy tune,HFE surely better with freddie's main vocals,TMLWKY rubbish,I prefer Brian's version,YDFM,get Queen even for a while back in the dance hall,and with a much better song than Another one...,A winters tale,a great way to close the story,I guess it was worth it
