Prior to the untimely death of lead singer Freddie Mercury in November 1991, he had recorded vocals to all of the tracks featured on this album - Made In Heaven. These vocals were then mixed together and added to by the remaining three members of the band to create a full album of slow ballad tracks. All of these tracks are generally sad songs and all are slow in tempo.
The song Mother Love is extremely slow and gives examples of wishes from Freddie. An example of this is the line, "I long for peace before I die". Of course, this never happened. The album also includes songs such as Let Me Live (ironic - he only managed to record lyrics for the first verse and the chorus), My Life Has Been Saved and the sad A Winter's Tale.
I feel that, whilst this album does not fit at all with the rock theme, it is still worth buying. The CD version is great, but there is a rare cream vinyl set with posters etc around as well.
Excellent CD, made all the more poignant by he untimely death of Freddie Mercury. Some wonderful thought provoking lyrics, a good CD to chill out to or to just listen to and reflect on your own life and loves.
Queen my all time favourite band, Although this album was finished four years after Freddie's death, it has a powerful set of skellital songs started by Freddie. For the first time Queen abandoned the heavy rock for a much more subtle approach this was due to Freddie's serious health. the emotion pours out of the original songs, Freddie's voice is perfect and does not reflect the sad reality of the time! This is the last Queen album and Freddie leaves us some truly magical momments!!!
A Timeless piece from a true legendary talent, everything he touched was pure Gold. Anybody buying this album will not be disapointed and don't forget go for quality not cheapness.
I love this album .. I bought this copy to replace a tape I had for years! .. Knowing it's Freddie's last album makes it so sad, but his voice is still so powerful. It's emotional, evocative, and also uplifting. There will never be another Freddie, his voice range was totally unique. It's heartbreaking, but stunningly beautiful .. A must for any Queen / Freddie fan xxx
I am extremely happy with this CD its a fabulous album. I deciced to buy it because I only ever had it on Tape, I got it for a fabulous price and it is in perfect condition.
This is by far the best Queen CD of all. I required this particular CD to complete my collection, but if it is at all possible for a CD to 'wear out', then it will happen to this CD. This particular CD can set the mood, raise your spirit and satisfy your 'feel good' factor. A brilliant ballad collection.
As you probably know this album was completed after Freddie's death in 1991. I have been a Queen Fan for well over 20 years but also appreciate other rock bands.
I consider this to be one of the bands greatest achievements, This album has songs that will rock you and also songs that will tear you limb from limb with emotion.
If you can listen to songs like Mother Love and Too Much Love Will Kill You without shedding a tear then you really need to see a psychologist.
Buy this or miss out on one of the greatest albums ever. Your decision, Your Loss if you don't.
Like every album ever written by the great band, that was, and will always be, this is a true classic. Full of sad slow tempo songs including Too Much Love Will Kill You, and Heaven For Everyone. This latter song really sums up the whole album which shows the true feelings of Freddie before his death heart wrenching, and an insight to his life. A wonderful album, a real must for all.
Last album of original work by Queen. Not one of their best albums but a must for all Queen fans. I bought this album as I use to own it on tape many years ago but this was lost. Decided that I should buy the album again and have enjoyed listening to it.
The item is in MINT condition. I have been trying to get a copy of this CD for ages. Could not beleive my luck on finding it. Well pleased !. FITTISPRAY.....
