Music reviews of A Day At The Races
Music Review: THE OTHER ALBUM
Rating: 5 Stars
Released shortly after the blockbuster success of 'A Night at the Opera', this album was constructed not as something to try and top it, merely an attempt to refine what A Night at the Opera accomplished, a 'sister album'
Kicking things off is probably their best early-period rocker Tie your Mother Down. After that, the subject matter is much the same as A Night at the Opera, Brian May contributes 'Long Away', and Roger Taylor turns in one of his best vocal performances on the meandering, slow-burning 'Drowse'. Mercury takes the rest, and he delivers one of his most inspiried vocal performances on the gospel-tinged Somebody to Love as well as the simply beautiful album closer 'Teo Torratie'. 'Good old Fashioned Lover Boy' reminds me much of Seaside Rondevouz off of Night at the Opera and You and I is an almost radio-ready piano ballad. White Man and Long Away are also worth a listen.
Description of A Day At The Races
Heavyweight vinyl LP repressing of this original classic 1976 album from British Pomp-Rockers Queen. The album packaging includes every detail of the original release in it's original LP format. All the unique content of the original album is faithfully reproduced. Features the hits 'Somebody To Love', 'Tie Your Mother Down', 'Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy' and more. EMI. 2009.Both regal and raunchy, Queen was at the height of its powers in the mid-70s, riding the soaring vocals of Freddie Mercury, the ringing guitar crunch of Brian May and the band's shameless theatrical flourishes. Coming so quickly after the band's A Night At the Opera opus, this 1976 album works hard at repeating the same hit-making elements, down to the matching cover art. If A Day At the Races lacks the same level of pop tunesmanship, there is still energy in these tracks, particularly in the rocking "Tie Your Mother Down" and the emotional "Somebody to Love," which set a blueprint for future ballads by the band. --Steve Appleford
