But what it may lack in concept it makes up for in great tunes.

When I say concept it’s hard to say what the concept is because throughout the album there seems to be none or what it is will never be made clear. Not forgetting to place all the good things about the first two albums (vocal harmonies, pop/rock) and giving that some room in a form of a kinda concept album. So here it is A Night at the Opera, after two failed attempts at heavy metal the band had finally found themselves in Sheer Heart Attack although there were some bumps along the way with their fourth effort though Queen took all that was good about their third album (Killer Queen, Now I’m Here, In the lap of the gods… revisited) and damn well made sure to expand on those ideas and to fit it into this album. OK maybe the last bit was a bit over the top but Death on Two Legs the opening song of A Night at the Opera gives the bands account of a certain (who shall not be named) individual who according to the band have taken all their money. The big problem was though with all the success and discovering how other bands despite having only had half the success of Queen were living in wealth and luxury whilst all four members of Queen could barely afford to pay this months rent for their council estate homes. It's 1975 and the rock band Queen have just had a huge number 2 hit song in the UK called Killer Queen but not only that, the song has also become a big hit across the world especially Japan and even the until now seemingly impossible to break American market where it lye at a respectable 12. Review Summary: Not to say A Night at the Opera doesn’t have its problems because it does but the good easily out shines the bad and there’s of course the small matter of a certain monster hit that would be bigger than anything that Queen had or will have done since.
