Queen: A Night At The Opera
File Audio I have it ★★★★★
The Queen might be heavily criticized, but in 1975 they released this huge album, mature in a way we’d never expect, with that "Bohemian Rhapsody" which is worth an entire career.

    They have never been mature. Then I prefer "Queen II". And "Bohemian Rhapsody" is an immense piece of trash :D But these are the Queen songs I like.

    Hey, why trash b.r.? I’m serious, I’m really curious about the answer and I want to see if we think more or less the same way.

    I want to clarify that I like them, first and foremost. The Queen entertain me and I always listen to them with great pleasure (up until '76). It's a bit of a trashy affair because it's obviously gaudy, over-the-top, kitschy, with its operatic twists, choirs, and its fusion of genres, and it comes off, in my opinion, as being very self-ironic in pretending (or "pretendersi") to be "cultured." But this is a discourse that can be applied to many things from the early Queen, after all.

    Ah, I don’t mind it either, on the contrary, I think that up until the operetta part (which I really struggle to digest) it’s a great piece (even in the lyrics). Well, it’s flashy and pompous, obviously, the Queen were like that… in fact, I usually find them hard to digest precisely for that reason, I definitely prefer something else.

    I understand it perfectly, I've always said so. Their style can be nauseating, that seems obvious to me. I like it and it's amusing also because they really didn’t take themselves seriously (you might say "and I’d expect nothing less"). "BR" is a nice ballad at the beginning, not overly cheesy. Then comes the operetta and I find it incredibly entertaining, but it’s super cheesy so I understand it might not appeal to everyone. However, they knew how to write beautiful songs back then ("White Queen"). Then they forgot even that.
