4 stars From hard rock point of view, no one would ever say that this is a bad album at all. This album offers excellent combination of lyrics, tight composition as results of powerful songwriting from the band, and of course, this album shows excellent performance from the band. I even consider this album is stronger than the previous album "News of The World". "Mustapha" (3:00) was my first in love with this album as it surprised me with the style the band demonstrates. "Fat Bottomed Girls" (4:16) is really a Queen musical style with great choirs and heavy rhythm. "Jealousy" (3:13) represents the ballad blues style which is very unique as Queen sound.

"Bicycle Race" (3:02) is of course very special to me because personally, I love bicycle since I was childhood. When I went to college degree in ITB Bandung, I rode bicycle in my day-to-day activities: going to the campus, to record store at Jl. Veteran / Naripan at Yess Musicassettes, going back home or to any place in Bandung. Today I have a fixed schedule of going back and forth to work- home using bicycle twice a week. People call it "bike to work" but I call it "bike to rock" - because usually I put my Senheizer earphone with rock music, including "Bicycle Race". What a life!

"Let Me Entertain You" (3:02), "Dreamer's Ball" (3:30), "Don't Stop Me Now" (3:29), and More of That Jazz (4:20) are all excellent tracks as well. Through this album Queen had recovered their musical talents.

It's an excellent addition to any rock music collection.
