Queen is the most overrated band of all time, by far. Not much is done here that wasn't already done much better by someone else. Freddie Mercury could hit high notes? Sweet, but this nonsensical, basic pop rock is far from a landmark in music.
Something else I want to add based off of personal experiences. I've had people telling me how great Bohemian Rhapsody is all my life, whether it be someone who grew up with this music or someone my age. "It's so fun and has multiple ... read more
When the movie Bohemian Rhapsody came out I felt like a chunk of myself had been removed. Not only was the movie bad, but Queen immediately became way less cool to me. Mainly because now, 100,000 "OwO Wasn't Freddy such a soft boy. UwU Freddy naughty daddy sksksksksk" we're made. And that was a shame because I thought Queen was a really cool band.

This is the second Queen album I’ve listened to and the best way I can describe it is that this is Musical Theatre: The Album. However that’s not a bad thing.

I do think the album wouldn’t be as great without that song.
