5 stars I consider Queen's "A Night At The Opera" as their best album. Though II was more proggy, but this is more stronger in album. This contains everything: From prog to pop and hard rock, and all are world-class.

The first song "Death On Two Legs" starts with the funny proggy intro and grows to a very strong hard rock song. Death On Two Legs tears you apart, I bet you. Great song.

Then comes the funny and short (thank god) lazing on a sunday afternoon. This song is written in 20secs, well it's funny and listeanable but nothing close to the other material in this album.

"I'm In Love With My Car" is a damn good hard rock song, sung by Roger Taylor. Taylor's vocals are stunning. This song shows his ability to sing. I love this one.

"You're My Best Friend" is the pop-song here. I love it though this is progarchives :). It repeats the same beautiful melody but Mercurys vocals (and the beautiful backing vocals) keeps this as a strong song, one of the finest pure pop songs ever.

"'39" is Brian May's own beautiful guitar intensified song. The vocals are beatiful and the melody as well. A great song.

"Sweet Lady" is somewhat funny, theatretical song. Not very good but not very bad either, usually skip it.

"Prophet's song" is the first prog song here. It's amazing. This song shows the whole Queen's vocalic talent. No other band could have done this song.

"Love of My Life" and "Good Company" are basic pretty poppish 70's Queen and of course, great. Both great and entertaining songs. I like them.

Well do I have to say anything about "Bohemian Rhapsody"? Well IMO it is in my top10 of greatest songs ever written. That's all. "God save the Queen" is a good ending for this magnificent and entertaining album. God bless the Queen.
