Album Notes Queen: Freddie Mercury, Brian May, John Deacon, Roger Taylor.Recorded at Olympic Studios, Town House Studios, London, England and Mountain Studios, Montreux, Switzerland.All songs written by Queen.THE MIRACLE was a comeback album of sorts for Queen, who had just come off a three-year break prior to its release. Instead of experimenting with different musical styles (as on 1982's dance-heavy HOT SPACE), Queen wisely stuck to its hard-rock roots for the most part, making THE MIRACLE one of the band's most successful U.S. releases of the '80s--both artistically and commercially. With rumors swirling of an impending breakup due to personal problems within the band, many fans breathed a sigh of relief when THE MIRACLE finally appeared in 1989. THE MIRACLE turned out to be Queen's most consistent album since 1984's THE WORKS. Never before had Queen's lyrics been so obviously biographical as on THE MIRACLE. Four tracks in particular, "Party," "Khashoggi's Ship," "Scandal," and "Was It All Worth It," all examine the ups and downs of being a rock & roll celebrity. The band turns poetic and poignant on the superb title track, rocks furiously on the single "I Want It All," and offers interesting slabs of both dance ("The Invisible Man") and expertly crafted pop ("Breakthru").

On this CD you will hear some of their less well-known songs, and it was one of the last LP's they produced. Freddie wasn't well when this was being made and yet his voice seems to be better than ever, and improve even after this LP. There is a great mixture of songs on this CD, fast, ballad, heavy metal - all sorts. So, if that is the sort of thing you are after, then I would definitely recommend this CD. Queen, in my opinion, the Best Group Ever!!!! Review ID: 10000000006314066 Was this review helpful? Report this review Review created: 02/03/08 by: This album was the first real group effort, all songs were credited by Queen. Freddie had known for a while that he was ill so listening to this album you begin to analize every track. songs like The miracle and I want it all Party Kashoggis ship are Queen remanising of days gone by. My favourite track is Was it all worth it, this song is not only a reflection of just how brilliant Queen were but Freddie asking himself the question Was it all worth it? All things considered for a group facing an unavoidable tragedy this is one of the best songs ever written!! Pure Queen brilliance for me this is better than Bohemian Rhapsody! When Queen wrote anthems like this no other group past or present stood a chance!!! Review ID: 10000000005902589 Was this review helpful?
