Product Description

CD Description

THE MIRACLE was a comeback album of sorts for Queen, who had just come off a three-year break prior to its release. Instead of experimenting with different musical styles (as on 1982's dance-heavy HOT SPACE), Queen wisely stuck to its hard-rock roots for the most part, making THE MIRACLE one of theband's most successful U.S. releases of the '80s--both artistically and commercially. With rumours swirling of an impending breakup due to personal problems within the band, many fans breathed a sigh of relief when THE MIRACLE finally appeared in 1989.
THE MIRACLE turned out to be Queen's most consistent album since 1984's THE WORKS. Never before had Queen's lyrics been so obviously biographical as on THE MIRACLE. Four tracks in particular, "Party", "Khashoggi's Ship", "Scandal", and "Was It All Worth It", all examine the ups and downs of being a rock & roll celebrity. The band turns poetic and poignant on the superb title track, rocks furiously onthe single "I Want It All", and offers interesting slabs ofboth dance ("The Invisible Man") and expertly crafted pop ("Breakthru").

5.0 out of 5 stars Great songs, great album!!, 6 April 2005
By Mr. C. Clarke (Newtownards, N Ireland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
With no touring worries and time to concentrate on recording in the studio, Queen produced a masterpiece of an album with 'The
Miracle'. The best thing about this album is the rip-roaring guitar that can be heard right the way through it. The first couple of tracks, Party and Khashoggi's Ship are fun rock songs with the band thinking back to the wild and infamous parties they held in the past! The miracle is a fantastic song with Freddie singing about how wonderful life is and how much you should appreciate it, obviously with hindsight you now can see that he wanted to enjoy the limited time he had left. Another song that can be linked to how freddie was feeling at this time was 'was it all worth it' in which he sings about all the pressures and excesses of being in queen and questioning whether it was all worth it or not, he eventually sings 'YES, it was a worthwhile experience!'

Other songs that i like on this album are the invisible man, breakthru (both containing great bass riffs from John Deacon)and i want it all, a great rock song written by Brian. This album is a must for Queen fans, it is what Queen are all about.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fine example of a good "Queen" Album., 21 July 2002
80's Queen was so distinct in style by this time that the album was not on it's own. "A Kind Of Magic", "The Works" and "Innuendo" are very compatible. This is by no means a reason to put the No.1 album down.
It kicks off to a good start with the good quality "Party" continuing with the mediocre (in comparison) headbanger "Khashoggi's Ship". The Next is the title track, "The Miracle". This was the 5th single to be released from the album, just missing the Top 20. The next is the world renowned "I Want It All", the 1st single to be released from the album and the biggest hit here reaching No.3 in the UK and hitting No.1 in many areas across Europe. "The Invisible Man" is one of the more light hearted Queen tracks. It was the 3rd single to be realased from the album providing them with a Top 20 hit in the UK. Moving on, "Breakthru" is the second most appreciated track, giving them a Top 10 hit all over Europe. It's sense of Rhythm and Bass don't fit in with Side Two though. "Rain Must Fall" is a first class Queen number that should have more to say for itself. "Scandal" was the 4th single released from this album peaking at No.25. It is brilliant with it's words and strange mixture of chords. "My Baby Does Me" and "Was It All Worth It" are rather boring, but "Was It All Worth It" has an auto-biographical touch and it is well worth a listen. This altogether is a fine example of what a good group at their best can achieve. Enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Still the best, 29 Nov 2000
By A Customer
I've listened to this album since I was tiny and my parent's bought it on casstte and I still think it's better than anything out now. It's my all time favourite album and as far as I'm concerned you can keep Brittney Spears and S-club 7 because this is by far the best.
