Made in Heaven is the fifteenth studio album by Queen produced by Queen and David Richards. It was released on 1995-11-06, four years after Freddie Mercury died. Freddie was adamant in his last days of recording to get a final take on as many songs as possible, and the band honored that desire by releasing several posthumous songs on this album. Unlike previous Queen albums, several of the songs on Made in Heaven weren't designed for the band. Instead, they include songs meant to be for solo albums, and songs mostly built in the studio like You Don't Fool Me, and the experimental untitled 22-minute-long Track 13. Despite this, the songs still have a very Queen-like style and span several genres, while mostly focusing on rock. Like The Miracle and Innuendo, this album has a strong introspective feel to it compared with Queen's earlier albums.

After I bought this album and began listening to the songs, I wasn't immediately interested in it, and, being aware that Freddie was recording songs like Too Much Love Will Kill You, knowing he would be dead soon, made me rather emotional. So, for a while after buying the album, I kept it shelved and focused on Queen's earlier progressive rock and arena rock songs. Later, after becoming more receptive to Freddie's end-of-life songs, I listened to the album properly and really appreciated the sadness it provokes.
