5 stars 'A Night at the Opera' came from a Marx Bros. film and like the movie, the album has everything! It has the remanants of 'Grand Hotel' by Procol Harum, 'Goodbye Yellow Brick Road' by Elton John, and 'Sgt. Pepper' by the Beatles. 'Death on two legs' has a great piano and guitars sounding like sirens. 'Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon' has that 1900's vaudville sound. 'I'm in love with my car' is a good hard-rocker. 'You're my best friend' is a good soft-rocker. '39' has a Galeic sound with guitars sounding like bagpipes, whistles, and fiddles. 'Sweet Lady' has a glam-rocking sound. 'Good Company' has a 1920's jazz sound with a ukelele and guitars sounding like clarinets, trumpets, and trombones. 'Prophets Song' is a very mystical song with a koto and guitars sounding like a full orchestra and a choir that tags along in the bridge. 'Love of my life' is actually a lead-in to 'Prophet's song'. But it's a very good ballad. 'Seaside Rendevous' has that same feeling as 'Winchester Cathedral' with kazoos, a ragtime piano, and Rudy Valle-like sound. 'Bohemian Rhapsody' is the most ideal art-rock song ever! It has a great piano flourish, guitar solos, and operatic arrangements. 'God Save The Queen' is a great way to end an album. It even rivals Jimi Hendrix's 'Star Spangled Banner'. A Must for art-rockers!
