The Queen create their masterpiece in 1986 when, lifted by all the people and their fans after the Wembley concert, which surely was the biggest concert in human history, they gifted a new album as an act of love, and it sold enormously precisely because they were legends admired by everyone. This album has a psychedelic and avant-garde cover, also because it was quite an ancient period, imagine, more than 20 years ago, in 1986, looking at it even today you can indeed notice that it is a quite original and even psychedelic cover. This album is made up of songs, and now I'll make the playlist so I can tell you what the songs are like: for example, "Kind Of Magic", which in the background has quite psychedelic disco keyboard sounds, new genius sounds that renewed techno-rock where Freddy's voice stretches out in all its fiery power. It would take Pellegatti to describe these songs, you know how on Milan Channel he describes Milan players ?? Love and magic Kaka, the phenomenon Ronaldo, thunderclap Seedorf, iron curtain Gattuso, dragon heart Maldini, well that's what I would like to do with these songs, which are really kaka performances.
We continue with "Invisible Man", the legendary flash gordon anthem, and if this isn't rock then you are really in trouble, and then there's "Want To Live Forever" which is surely one of the most beautiful songs since the dawn of man, in short, if I were you, I would make this immortal album mine, and the 400 thousand souls at Wembley Stadium that night are the most striking demonstration of this, and the second biggest and most beautiful concert in human history?? but of course, the Freddie Mercury tribute in 1992 to commemorate Freddie's passing, with great artists on stage like Axl Rose singing "Bohemian Rhapsody" in a duet with another great singer Elton John, it turns out to be something moving, anyone who wants to see this duet can go here.
The complete resurrection of Queen happens in 1986, the year in which "A Kind of Magic" emerges.
A masterpiece is the next track... Who Wants To Live Forever, a song of great depth and substance thanks especially to the presence of the orchestra.
The album, in my opinion, remains the best in Freddie Mercury and co.'s discography and definitely their best '80s record.
'One Vision' is a very powerful and rocking song in perfect Queen style, which will also open the concerts of the new (and unfortunately last) Queen tour.
'Who Wants To Live Forever' is a MASTERPIECE!!!!!
The guitar intro in 'Gimme The Prize' is the best in Queen’s entire career.
"A Kind Of Magic is rightly considered the rebirth of Queen after the dramatic decline in quality of the previous albums."
"Freddie shows an enviable tenor vocal performance... consecrating him as one of the most beautiful voices ever."
There is NOTHING in this album that can be called rock, nothing. It is a pop album.
If the album had been all like these last ballads, it would have turned out to be a masterpiece.
