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
