06-09-1989 – The Miracle – Sun-Sentinel

With Freddie Mercury in vintage light-operatic form, here’s an album (like so many of Queen’s others) that should be used as a pop music how-to for aspirants. Combining the forces of rock, pop, metal, clever melodies and cunning stylizations, The Miracle never lets down. From one track to the next there is, as usual, no telling which way this band will go, affording even the most jaded ear a challenge. With original lineup still well intact, the band is slated to tour later this year.
