Queen
Made in Heaven

MADE IN HEAVEN... is a worthy conclusion to the story of Queen!
In truth, the album is criticized by many who see it as a commercial operation: what I set out to do in this review is to debunk this very wrong taboo.

It's a Beautiful Day is a classic life anthem by Freddie, on the piano a bit understated compared to the rest of the album, but wasn't there this song until '95, am I wrong?
Made In Heaven turns into a pompous (which is not derogatory) arrangement from the bland song of MrBadGuy to an epic and resonant track.
Let Me Live is a contagious pop in typical Queen style (are there traces of this song before '95? Some would say there are demos that approach it in earlier periods, but do you have these demos and, above all, do they reach the third track of the album?)
Mother Love is a sweet atypical Queen song that ends with a breathtaking flashback (you can hear important parts of the band's concert life, One Vision and Going Back, one of the first songs sung by Freddie under the pseudonym LARRY LUREX.
Have you heard anything similar before the '95 album?
My Life Has Been Saved in the piano version is track number 5 this time quite penalized compared to the previous version (b-side of Scandal) which additionally had a good guitar.
I Was Born To Love You is something else in the Made in Heaven version: the second part of the song changes mainly, where, in the MrBadGuy version, the use of the synthesizer is really very banal and simplistic compared to the complex and echoing new version. I disagree with those who see it out of place on this album because it is the only song that gives a big boost of optimistic energy.
Regarding Heaven For Everyone and Too Much Love Will Kill You, I like to believe that they are two gift-tributes from Roger and Brian to Freddie. I assure you that both, sung by Freddie, are incomparable compared to those sung by the respective authors.
You Don't Fool Me, perhaps a bit too repetitive, is made fantastic by John Deacon's great bass work and an exciting yet deep solo from Brian.
A Winter's Tale is most likely (not Mother Love) Freddie's last song, although there are other unreleased ones (which should come out in the boxes that sometimes appear). It closely resembles the group's other Christmas song (Thank God It's Christmas), although it is much deeper and more meaningful than that: the accompanying video clip is very beautiful (fantastic and relaxing landscapes of Montreux).
A Winter's Tale is directly linked to It's A Beautiful Day (Reprise), a dragging version of It's A Beautiful Day, certainly better than that (the inclusion of notes from Seven Seas of Rhye and the "Yeah" that "splits" the song twice is nice; the second split is the twelfth track (3 seconds!).
The mysterious track that ends Queen's career, the thirteenth, is Untitled (22 minutes and something!) that many see as a tour of music in Heaven: then a few steps, a few notes, a few laughs in the rain ending with a single word: Fab!
(Wonderful)
