About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Unbeknownst to the public, Freddie Mercury had been diagnosed with the AIDS virus in the late '80s. Although his health weakened by the '90s, Mercury insisted that the band work on music until the very end; their final album turned out to be 1991's Innuendo. Although it didn't receive the same critical praise as its predecessor, 1989's The Miracle, it was another strong album and global hit (again going gold in the U.S.). 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. Innuendo was a fitting way to end one of rock's most successful careers. Greg Prato, All Music Guide

November 02, 2007: Yes, it's not the classic Queen we know and this makes it so special. I still cannot tell which piece would be my favorite, after all these years.It's definitely more mature than "The game" and actually you can see this album "coming" in some of the maturity from "A kind of magic","The miracle" or some songs from "The works".

January 22, 2005: Received this as a Xmas gift shortly after its release, and had only heard the single "Headlong" on the radio (disappointed at the time). After a few extended listenings I came to realize that not only was this the best of Queen's studio products, it is quite possibly one of the top 20 albums ever in regards to popular rock music. Steve Howe's contribution on the title track proves that "more is not better", and it has never failed to amaze me that Mercury could be so artistic while nearing the end. When the band re-invented itself with "The Game", I thought then that they would never rise above it..... thankfully, with "Innuendo", they did.
