This is a grower!
At first hearing I thought it was an average album with the A kind Of magic the only fantastic song. But, on listening again I realised that actually its pretty fantastic. Songs like Pain is So Close to Pleasure really grow on you and are as good as the more recognisable tunes. A great Album!!

I like this album!
This album, along with 84's The Works, is Queen's best work of the 80s. Overall, this album is pretty consistent as Queen album's go and it features some really strong tracks - One Vision, A King Of Magic, Who Wants To Live Forever, Princes Of The Universe. After this came the albums The Miracle and Innuendo, which for me didn't work at all.

Product placement!
There are two reasons for buying this album: the joyous title track and Who Wants to live forever which are available on Greatest Hits 2, without the stodge and filler on here

The album did a flat ZERO in the USA for one very good reason; everything one it has been done before (and better) by themselves or somebody else.
And the sterile production leaves the room COLD

What is Freddie trying to prove - yes, he CAN sing like Diana Ross, he CAN produce records that sound like the BeeGees, he CAN run off another Queen anthem in his sleep - but you've got to ask why!

Magical
All of Queen's 1980s albums and their one 1990s album are Queen at their best - nostalgia buffs will talk of the 1970s albums, but it was from The Works on that Queen were at their peak. And this is the peak of the peak. Every song on this album is strong - there are no weak links. "A kind of magic" - yes, definitely.
