THE REVIEW

The last efforts of Freddie... unfortunately. Because shortly after, we lost not just a pianist (not even a talented one), nor a singer (let alone talented... at levels that humans can hardly imagine) but a legend, an example for any musician. And it's not the lengthy Innuendo that will drive you crazy with how engaging it is, but the indomitable The Show Must Go On (come on... is there anyone who doesn't like it? Really?) that makes you jump from your seat and sing (but you know that voices like Mercury's are born very rarely and surely these are not among us) and then there are These Are the Days of Our Lives, perhaps more "profound" in content (more like Who Wants to Live Forever) and with a veil of melancholy, but equally deserving of a 10 out of 10, as well as the great I'm Going Slightly Mad which marks the arrival of a period that raises many questions about the band's future, yet makes the fans live it with incredible irony and optimism. But it also demonstrates Brian May's skills as a composer, as well as a guitarist, truly beyond words at least from someone who, like me, hasn't taken more than four lessons in electric bass and guitar. Then there's the more "reserved" Deacon, always at a good level, and a drummer who doesn't focus on technicalities but makes cutting-edge sound his priority like Taylor. Overall, I can say, the Queen have given us better, but to speak ill of Innuendo is truly moronic.

Summary by Bot

Innuendo marks the final chapter of Freddie Mercury's incredible career, featuring powerful and emotionally charged songs. The album highlights Brian May's exceptional talent alongside a strong band effort. Classic tracks like 'The Show Must Go On' and 'These Are the Days of Our Lives' offer both energy and melancholy. Though Queen has produced stronger albums, Innuendo remains an essential and deeply moving listen.

 "In six minutes, Queen unleashed a firepower of rare intensity, overwhelming the listener in front of a firing squad."

 "At the end of the video, the singer stares at the camera, looks the listener in the eyes, and whispers 'I still love you.'"

 "The best way, for a complete artist like Freddie Mercury, to close his career."
