This was one of the later Queen albums I bought, I think because I already knew about half of the songs on the album from compilations and live albums I owned. When I did buy the album, I bought the Hollywood Records CD version, which was a good choice because the the additional bonus tracks make up for this being one of Queen's shortest albums. I really like the album, and it's in my top 40 favorite albums ever, but none of the songs ever made a serious emotional connection with me, so it's one of my least favorite Queen albums. Of course, that's like saying it's my least favorite diamond.
