5 stars Queen's music is definitely Progressive related, although the album has element of Prog, the album can't be defined as a Prog album but the elements are definitely there, Queen in the 1970s often conbined Pop Rock with a touch of Prog. Before this album QUEEN were financially struggling with royalties etc, in the end they ended their contract with their original record management, Queen needed to gain money to cover the costs, and the success of this album and the nimber 1 UK single "Boheimien Rhapsody", made them a household name. The opener is Death on Two Legs (Dedicated to...) , "I'm in Love With My Car" is a favourite track of mine because it is catchy one to pick up on, '39' is another favourite I think it is a great epic track, acoustic guitars and harmonies give it that Prog feel. "Bohemian Rhapsody" is extremely overlooked in my view, it is their anthem IMO, sign of Prog include the changes throughout thje song, it is like two or three songs in one track, fantastic guiar works from Brian May. Queen, are like a rock opera band, with heavy riffs, poppy prog tracks.
