A DAY AT THE RACES

1. Tie Your Mother Down tin tin tintintin it's all in the intro, the Asian gong, the explosion; prog I tell you, yes who made intros like these? in short, a radio edit of QUEEN with a boogie rock sound and with 2 freddy in the song ... can we laugh anymore? Ah how I love this overlapping of voices and instruments; nervous, with just the right rhythm, a little break to pick up the heavy guitar which changes Brian's usual scales, in short the absolute gem; one of the albums that made me want to have everything from them, to play their discography next, the panard, ah that riff, ah that solo and Freddie singing on it, one of the rare moments when I accept, ah the final tambourine pad! 2. You Take My Breath Away ouh ouh ouuuuuuh yes that's it you're already there, take my breath away... bewitching; it's 76, the piano killer, so depressed, Freddie is there in front of you, in your equipped room, in your head if you're on headphones; it whispers, it splits your mind, you can't resist, you're already voiceless...yes you yelled the title and the voice stopped; I'll find you... ah these choirs, that's choir, bewitching, captivating, staggering; ah Brian throws you this melancholic solo more than that you die, languorous too, these choirs... ah this enjoyable end after the last piano note... take my way, talk my breath, without prog I tell you 3. Long Away to adjust the quality of your stereo, the title where Brian pushes himself to the ditty, rare enough to mention it; folk rock at times, fruity, yes I like this term 5 instruments like 5 fruits and vegetables; the rhythm assails me, well I used how many sapphires on this album it's almost normal; such a long long way to the end 4. Millionaire Waltz and the 2nd musical caviar, piano on the right, bass on the left just to block your ears like at altitude and off you go; the waltzing title, full of subjectivity, emotion, rhinestones, beauty, depth; ah those twirling piano notes, ah that vocal performance ah that rising, rising guitar, ah I see the 'love is all' at the bottom, avant-garde; ah this explosion in the chorus and the hard moment so you can't do better; we leave again, the air ... bucolic, fruity, hop we advance you have not forgotten the cymbals; Freddie's breath makes you feel like he's still there...for ever, for ever; go a 3rd time we leave, give a little love to me and come back to me and Roger who dusts off his pads all of a sudden 5. You And I piano and bass, little jazz-blues-rock drums as it should be; a perky air highlighting freddie again and again; title that I take as an interlude after this performance of side A; the choir and the voice in duality, simply pleasure; wait and see ... moonlight what was he already talking about leaving with Mickaël? in short go a piano arpeggio the pad and the guitar that rolls like on 'I'm in love with my car' 6. Somebody To Love for the little 'Bohemian' with these fantastic 4 holding their helmets in unison; somebody what to say, majestic, strong, violent, epic, grandiloquent, overwhelming; remember Brian with his Japanese shawl on him qi... coming out of the shadows; remember... this crescendo, these voices, there, no there, yes there and Freddie who raises his voice and lets it wander over the notes of the instruments; a finale that might not end that it wouldn't bother 7. White Man dark of dark, minimal, plaintive, ah the gong oh yeaah; white man is launched, a good compulsive rock that gives you goosebumps; the rupture launches on a minimalus and vulgurus hard rock tune, ah this guitar which vibrates, ah it tears the air, good memory where I had to put my chain less strong, yes dad I understood yes it vibrates and it takes off the putty... not the best title but at the emotional level the must; 2nd memory the crackle of the microgroove at the end.. and the drum hit, tapped, beaten, bruised but without violence, just for fun 8. Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy... that's QUEEN that's it, musical burlesque madness, a unique sound, a nursery rhyme with a Charisma Label smell like on a GENESIS, singing and digressing a story... I don't know which one but I have not misleading signs; has been but so ... a sweetness 9. Drowse and Roger who speaks, at the time I didn't believe it and I only had the cover to prove to me that it was really him, in short, one more memory by re-listening to this album and this title; watch out, the voice rises, chewing gum suddenly pops and the guitar warm, viscous; the title which also goes into the vintage side, yes we wouldn't listen to that anymore, unfortunate world in which we live 10. Teo Torriatte (Let Us Cling Together) majestic piano, sinister rise, funereal nan; well let's go Freddie tells us there once again; be not gone... let us cling together that's it, we're in it, we repeat the Japanese verse, we feel immersible, strong, we feel in osmosis; hear my song.. for those who would try to divert their ears; come on the chorus already, really consensual, really predictable; when I'm gone and it explodes; the choir becomes predominant, pompous, go now the little singers to the wooden cross... yes it existed; and that's how a title passes like a late letter... ah the killer finale, yes they dared, finale like the intro, if that's not prog blood... in short, a concept album for me just for that, ah immense is my emotion here to have written and given some memories.

Well if I say that I always like it, will you believe me?
