Rating: The Queen, the quintessential rock band that with their daring experiments over two decades has deeply shaken the world of rock, has delivered to the entire world, as their last true album, Innuendo.
Innuendo is a journey within each of us, within our anxieties and weaknesses, and many of you might be afraid to enter, fearing you won't know how to get out. It is a sparkling masterpiece, of the highest order, that condenses an entire career dedicated to rock into 12 (twelve) tracks.
Many of you have loved and still love this musical monument, but are afraid to admit it. Don't worry: the Queen, in their immense greatness, will know how to forgive your whims.
So abandon yourself to the nightmares of I'm Going Slightly Mad, the delicate atmospheres sketched in I Can't Live with You, the criminal raids of
Hitman, up to the generational/world anthems of All God's People and These Are the Days of Our Lives.
And then, and then?
And then end the journey with The Show Must Go On being careful to have a tissue ready to dry the tears of your cathartic cry. There is no need to thank the Queen for their work: their love for rock and for people goes beyond even the pleasure of a fan's appreciation.
Everyone loves the Queen. And the reason lies in their music. Immortal.
Those who don't love them while listening to the CD are evidently still halfway through the journey of Innuendo: still lost in oblivion, searching for salvific redemption. But even a few meows of the tender Delilah would be enough to lead you along the path of light and love. Do not be afraid to continue along the path that the Queen has traced within your miserable lives, and may the beneficial splendor of Innuendo always be with you.
Tracklist Lyrics and Videos
01 Innuendo (06:31)
While the sun hangs in the sky and the desert has sand
While the waves crash in the sea and meet the land
While there's a wind and the stars and the rainbow
Till the mountains crumble into the plain
Oh yes we'll keep on tryin'
Tread that fine line
Oh we'll keep on tryin' - yeah
Just passing our time
While we live according to race, colour or creed
While we rule by blind madness and pure greed
Our lives dictated by tradition, superstition, false religion
Through the eons, and on and on
Oh yes we'll keep on tryin'
We'll tread that fine line
Oh oh we'll keep on tryin'
Till the end of time
Till the end of time
Through the sorrow all through our splendour
Don't take offence at my innuendo
You can be anything you want to be
Just turn yourself into anything you think that you could ever be
Be free with your tempo be free be free
Surrender your ego - be free be free to yourself
Oooh, ooh -
If there's a God or any kind of justice under the sky
If there's a point, if there's a reason to live or die
If there's an answer to the questions we feel bound to ask
Show yourself - destroy our fears - release your mask
Oh yes we'll keep on trying
Hey tread that fine line
Yeah we'll keep on smiling yeah (yeah yeah yeah)
And whatever will be - will be
We'll just keep on trying
We'll just keep on trying
Till the end of time
Till the end of time
Till the end of time

INNUENDO is a slow agony: it’s almost as if you can see Freddie suffocating, at times falling, at times clinging to the other members of the group.
THE SHOW MUST GO ON is one of those epic, 'century-spanning' songs.
By AR (Anonima Recensori)
Innuendo is undoubtedly a record destined to remain in the history of rock.
'The Show Must Go On,' Freddie’s testament, is perfect and incredible.
By PIXELID
Almost every lyric was influenced by the situation Freddie was going through, making the album very melancholic, and consequently moving.
In the opinion of the reviewer, Innuendo is definitely the most beautiful Queen album since the 80s onwards.
By led&zep
Innuendo emerges as a true masterpiece not only of the entire Queen discography but of the whole history of rock.
'The Show Must Go On' delivers one of the most intense vocal performances that human ears have ever heard.
By Mercury82
"The album is an exceptional mix of ballads, poetry, and rock."
"The Show Must Go On – the testament of his death sung... fantastic!!!!!"
