“Nothing succeeds like excess- — at least that’s the case with Queen’s breakthrough classic, ‘A Night at the Opera’. On one level, the title is a reference to the band’s operatic pretensions, best in evidence here on the classic ‘Bohemian Rhapsody,’ which was championed by headbangers a generation before being revived by the Wayne’s World set…The album is remembered for its meticulously produced bombast, but the truth is that there’s a wide variety of material here, from the gorgeous piano-based ‘You’re My Best Friend’ and the McCartneyesque ‘39’ to the pedal-to-the-metal rockers ‘Death on Two Legs’ and ‘I’m in Love with My Car.’” – Music writer, Daniel Durchholz
