3 stars 1 A Beautiful Day for the prog, cinematic intro, for that sound coming from elsewhere, well, we know where! An a cappella on the crystalline piano, QUEEN is resurrected and the Olympian orchestra confirms the origin 2 Made In Heaven ... either you cry, or you smile; even from the beyond, he scolds us, he taunts us; the QUEEN-like air is reassuring, his voice almost perfect as if the illness hadn't worked; the solo is more solemn, the more I wring another tear from you, but Freddie comes to comfort us, don't cry, QUEEN is eternal and the final pad drives the point home even further 3 Let Me Live for the gospel coming out of the church before burial; well, Freddie pokes his head out of the coffin and starts to sing, helped by this warm choir; It was just a bad dream, Roger's voice, Rebecca Leigh-White having worked with PINK FLOYD, Gary Martin, Catherine Porter and Miriam Stockley for the choir, let's highlight this tribute and the piece to cry with joy or hold back the tears since we are together listening to it one last time; vintage folk rock 4 Mother Love for the sweetness of her almost phrased voice unfolding over an alkaline new-wave synth tune; the plus this acoustic solo and this prog spatial fade 5 My Life Has Been Saved follows, a redundant refrain on outtakes, Freddie's voice used to keep us in the dream that the band continues, that Freddie is there; yes but 6 I Was Born To Love You with another testament of his love for us fans forever; the video mixes archive images, the sound comes from sounds of yesteryear with this synth typical of 84 radio gaga; yes we are gaga listening to Freddie 4 years later, we have to be. His pure, flowing voice, which flows like on Jazz from '98, takes us back even further; Brian delivers a solo like Eddie would have done today if he were here too. In short, we believe it, and that's the main thing.

7 Heaven For Everyone for the solemn ballad for everyone; the mise en abyme, the foregrounding of his voice, a slowed tempo with a jazzy hi-hat, and we embark on the world of Méliès, which the group had loved since its rebirth in '84; in short, redundant, consensual, but a posthumous testimony is not to be refused. 8 Too Much Love Will Kill You with the daring video mixing images from yesterday and today, depicting the unique baroque art of the group, Brian's always distinctive solo in a dazzling rise, and Freddie's emaciated face. 9 You Don't Fool Me, no, we will be faithful to you until the end; a latent techno ballad that unfolds like an endless LP. consensual, almost soulless, but an eternal soul 10 A Winter's Tale with a choir reminding me of MMEB, yes, that's it; otherwise, the marshmallow choir on a cotton candy solo and the melting Haribo voice, just the nostalgic pleasure before these notes and this unique vocal sound fade away 11 It's A Beautiful Day (Reprise) for the heavy metal prog cover with an avant-garde yeah; in short, the sounds of QUEEN in a concentrated mix, the guitar that goes oriental and this gradient, this fade and this... 12 Yeah, heralding the... 13 [Untitled] a hidden title coming from Heaven; the title that resonates in my head, which I had used during my years as a relaxation therapist, much more suggestive than many recordings dedicated to this technique... allowing me to escape the stressful current world; the song you listen to religiously to hear Freddie communicating with you in the distance; the reverberating sounds, the latent atmospheric ambiance at its peak, provenance made in heaven is stamped in addition; in short an album with some flashes of genius and titles agreed to fill a CD, and this hidden title to dream ad Eternam!!!
