Album Notes Queen: Freddie Mercury (vocals, piano, keyboards); Brian May (guitar, keyboards, vocals); John Deacon (bass, keyboards); Roger Taylor (drums, percussion, keyboards, vocals).Additional personnel: Rebecca Leigh-White, Gary Martin, Catherine Porter, Miriam Stockley (background vocals).Engineers: David Richards, Justin Shirley-Smith, Joshua J. Macrae.Not a posthumous collection of odds and ends but an album actually recorded in the final months of Freddie Mercury's struggle with AIDS, MADE IN HEAVEN is full-force Queen. Their dynamic theatrics charge the album, as Mercury's unrivaled voice and the band's grand production aesthetic resound clearer than ever before.MADE IN HEAVEN captures all the explosiveness that made Queen one of the most magical big-rock bands of the '70s and '80s. Mercury's powerful voice soars to heights that mere pop singers simply aren't able to grasp. On "It's A Beautiful Day," and particularly on the song's refrain, his regal vocal prowess reminds the listener that this is a man who could sing opera but still rock harder than most heavy metal screamers. The rest of the band is equally brutal in its precision: Brian May's sophisticated guitar work, and the eloquent, sympathetic rhythm section of bassist John Deacon and drummer Roger Taylor make this collection of rock music a moving affair.Throughout their career, Queen beckoned the acceptance of a broader range of pop-rock. Mercury's vocals soared beyond the rock idiom, and May's dignified guitar arrangements may never be equaled. Freddie Mercury will be forever missed, but the unrestrained beauty of MADE IN HEAVEN captures him in a loving portrait.

Top Reviews  Queen - Made In Heaven 4 of 7 people found this review helpful. 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.
