Innuendo

EDITORIAL REVIEWS
Digitally remastered deluxe two CD edition of this 1991 album from the British Pomp rockers including a bonus five track CD. Although it didn't receive the same critical praise as it's predecessor, 1989's the Miracle, it was another strong album and global hit. With hindsight, the song's lyrics are blatantly autobiographical from Mercury's standpoint, such as the reflective "These Are the Days of Our Lives" and the bold "The Show Must Go On." Also included are a pair of tracks that deal with mankind's inability to live harmoniously (the superb epic title track and "All God's People") and a humorous tribute to Mercury's beloved pet felines ("Delilah"). Queen's heavier side is represented by both the rock radio hit "Headlong" and "The Hitman," while "I'm Going Slightly Mad," "I Can't Live with You," and "Don't Try So Hard" show the band's pop sensibilities in full force, and on "Bijou," Brian May gets to show off his guitar chops.
