THE MIRACLE

1. Party for the well-placed kit, want a "we will again"? Vocals and backing vocals and bass and that inimitable guitar, a preamble title announcing 2. Khashoggi's Ship with the rediscovered QUEEN sound; cries of tears, not the voice and the guitar and the metronomic drums; an almost normal, gentle madness break and Freddie who takes it up a notch, ah, that heavy, hard, brutal guitar solo, that was the QUEEN sound above all, concentrated! 3. Miracle for the video, yes, the VHS era, those insolent kids who dared to do what we all dreamed of; the flagship title, all in delicacy with its kitsch guitar flight and its progression, yes, John scolds us with very low notes; well, the miracle is that I'm talking and the title unfolds... the one thing, it's peace on Earth, this synchronization and the arrival of the real band, after all; the melting finale... 4. I Want It All, yes, me too, I want it all; A track that sounds like, sounds like, but QUEEN with its choruses, its chorus, its heavy riff that makes you sing along; in the videos, Freddie shows the extent of his illness and heals himself by singing, Brian by hitting notes by the mile; in short, I want it all, even with Roger's pad; 5. The Invisible Man, yes, for the distinctive synth intro, for the rumble of the kit, for that synth that leads the dance, for, for, and I turn around, touched by this laser from another age; and John's bass, what a blast; in short, a track, the track that makes me love the fade-in bass.

6. Breakthru, for the swaying, no, the melting piano and the bass that take us at breakneck speed; yes, that train in the video, the reason to talk about it again and dive back into these forever scarred memories; the bass in stereo, in short, the memory will be better than my words 7. Rain Must Fall which will get people talking, the synth is good but too much synth... the pad saves the day, Freddie in a charming vocal too; languorous air, cut out for the radio to move so far from their musical soul; well, you will have made the connection with a track from the previous album, it's true, but still... 8. Scandal and its jerky air, its heavy air, its banner cry to sing along with Freddie; a radio edit rhythm with synths but with a big riff that is more romantic hard new-wave, where will I find that again? Brian true to himself; the vocoder, the heavy drums, the synths à la Radio Gaga, there it is, the prog blood spurts out suddenly, yes, QUEEN was immersed in the progressive sound whatever anyone says; Come on, rip out your guitar, Brian. 9. My Baby Does Me for the soft disco pop ballad with a danceable, romantic-groovy, funky, and sexy feel, but how far will they go? 10. Was It All Worth It: Listen to the intro, isn't it prog? In short, a minute of pure ambient cinematic pleasure ahead of its time, like world creation; and then, and then, the riff, the violence of the drumming, the tune supported by those few synth notes, the musical kick; come on, guitar roll! It's heavy, pompous, addictive, it's hard rock à la QUEEN, it squeals like my father used to say, I love you, RIP. It's just the band that had no barriers and didn't care about genres; a classic-hot rock twist, yes, there's everything in this title, a testament, in the video, a synthesis of their entire discography; but was it all worth it? Note the addition of David for the use of synths.
