1. Death on Two Legs- Good opener, this song was about the man who financially screwed them over. Very dark, something Queen didn't do much of. 4/5
2. Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon- Like a musical, short though, but I still like it. 4/5
3. I'm In Love With My Car- Good song. 5/5
4. You're Best Friend- Good song, dedicated to his wife. 4/5
5. '39- Nice little song by May. Pretty good. 4/5
6. Sweet Lady- Pretty good song. 4/5
7. Seaside Rendezvous- Like "Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon", except longer. I like this one too. 4/5
8. The Prophets Song- This song is amazing. Great stuff here, one of my favorites by Queen. As many other reviewers have said, listen to the middle part with headphones. 5/5
9. Love of my Life- Nice ballad by Mercury. 4/5
10. Good Company- Good Song. 4/5
11. Bohemian Rhapsody- Most people just say "need i say anything" to this song, thats true, its one of the best songs ever made. I've known many people who like punk/...rap, and they like this song. Its loved by all. GREAT SONG. 5/5(i'd give it a lot more than that, more like 10/5, but im being fair here.)
12. God Save the Queen- Good guitar playing by May here, its good. 4/5

All in all, very good cd. Highly recommended. Enjoy it

Fantastic!
A lot of people are familiar with this one due to "Bohemian Rhapsody", but that's not the only good track to be found here! Just about every song on this album is very good, and the different songwriting styles of the band members are represented here. Queen is an "album band", not a "single band" -- each song is very different than the next, but they all have something to offer. Great album.

Beyond classic
This is Queen's best career album.It is excellent from DEATH ON TWO LEGS all the way through GOD SAVE THE QUEEN.It is a must for any rock music fan collection.My favorites are the ballad LOVE OF MY LIFE(that should've been an American single),YOU'RE MY BEST FRIEND(which was),'39 and the epic masterpiece BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY.Another wonderful gem is the PROPHET's SONG which features some of the most amazing lyrics and enchanting vocals I've ever heard on a record.An A plus for the boys!

Queen's proper launch to superstardom
Queen's fourth album A Night at the Opera was released in December of 1975. The album was the band's sink or swim album, if it flopped it would have been the end of Queen. Here is a track-by-track summary of the album. Death on Two Legs(Dedicated to...) kicks off the album in a hard rocking manner which was frontman Freddie Mercury's ode to an ex-management company whom treated the band like dirt. The vaudevillian sounding Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon follows and is great with its 1930s-ish sound and harmonized heavy metal guitar solo at the end is amazing. Drummer Roger Taylor's ode to the automobile I'm In Love With My Car follows and is a kick-ass rocker sung by Roger. The ballad You're My Best Friend follows and is a nice song written by bassist John Deacon for his wife Veronica(whom he is still married to today) and was a US Top 20 hit in the summer of 1976 peaking at #16. I love the melodies and harmony parts. Guitarist Brian May's '39 is a great skiffle (folk) song with Brian singing. The song is Queen's sci-fi song about a man who goes time travelling for a hundred years but comes back one year older. Musically sounds like an outtake from either The Beatles' Rubber Soul or a Kingston Trio album. Brian writes the next track, the rocker Sweet Lady which is a great hard rock track. Freddie's vaudevillian sounding Seaside Rendezvous ends the first half. Got to love those voice orhestrations from Roger and Freddie imitating horns. Brian's epic The Prophet's Song kicks off the second half in epic style and all I can say is WOW! The song was written while Brian was sick with the curable form of hepatitis and an ulcer. It's a great epic, superb vocals. Especially with Freddie's vocal solo which was pure genius. Freddie's Love of My Life follows and is a great song about a breakup. Brian's Good Company is next with Brian's jazz guitar orchestra, ukulele and vocals on this track kicking ass. Next is the album's biggest hit Bohemian Rhapsody. The song is Freddie's 6 minute magnum opus and a song unlike any in rock history. This song reached #9 in 1976 in the US but reached #2 in 1992 in the US when re-released because of Wayne's World. Brian's classic rendition of the British anthem God Save the Queen closes this masterpiece. When this album was released, it went to #4 in the US and became Queen's first million seller and has sold up to 3 million copies to date in the US alone. Highly recommended!
Nothing succeeds like excess--at least that's the case with Queen's breakthrough classic, A Night at the Opera. On one level, the title is a reference to the band's operatic pretensions, best in evidence here on the classic "Bohemian Rhapsody," which was championed by headbangers a generation before being revived by the Wayne's World set. Of course, A Night at the Opera was also the title of a Marx Brothers movie, and the reference isn't lost on Queen, who seldom scaled the heights of pomprock without a knowing wink. The album is remembered for its meticulously produced bombast, but the truth is that there's a wide variety of material here, from the gorgeous piano-based "You're My Best Friend" and the McCartneyesque "39" to the music-hall-style "Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon" and the pedal-to-the-metal rockers "Death on Two Legs" and "I'm in Love with My Car." A Night at the Opera is viewed by most as the quintessential Queen album, and justifiably so. --Daniel Durchholz
