Description
QUEEN A Night at The Opera from 2021 and is a SEALED 180 gram Multi-Color Galaxy Vinyl LP issued for VMP Exclusives. 'A Night At The Opera' is stylistically nimble, genre-curious, eager to chase every spark of an idea with a can of gasoline. Like few other bands before or since, Queen understood how to weave everything they loved — opera, prog rock, showtunes, Dixieland jazz, arena rock, etc. — into a cohesive and singular sound. On this album, they found their voice and it turned out their voice was a choir. As an opening track, “Death On Two Legs (Dedicated to…)” is a blood-spitting statement of intent to their previous management. The band installed themselves as company directors and following the album made the Guinness Book Of Records as the highest-paid company executives on earth. A wise move. Musically the album moves from hard rock to light vaudeville and into genuinely terrifying prog. Given the behemoth that “Bohemian Rhapsody” has become, it’s almost strange to hear it on the studio album, placed amongst other mere mortal songs, not least Taylor’s distinctly Alan Partridge/Jeremy Clarkson-esque “I’m In Love With My Car” that shared double A billing with “Bohemian Rhapsody” for the single release. Stand-out deep cuts are “’39” and “The Prophet’s Song,” the latter an epic about Noah’s Ark.
