I don't think even Fellini could have saved that...
Not Plutus but Apollo rules Parnassus
I've always liked that album, and the title theme is actually quite wonderful imo. I mean, the whole "flash aaaaaaah" bit is silly but that's what's great about those things ("nananananananana batman", which was plagiarised by Lloyd Weber).

The use of synths is all right but the orchestra is hideous. Not the score (priceless), but the way it's recorded.

All in all it was a nice effort, Brian's a very good producer, and of course 'The Kiss' is probably my favourite song off the album.
John hated Hot Space. Frederick's favourite singer was not Paul Rodgers. Roger didn't compose 'Innuendo.' 'Bohemian Rhapsody' hasn't got 180 vocal overdubs.

Maybe, but he couldn't have made it worse, could he? ;)

I agree with you, Brian is great producer and arranger, and i would rather hear "Flash, aaaaa" than the annoying Batman theme anyday. I think that the whole 'Synth' explosion into Queen's music kinda ruined it for me for the most part to be honest.
