News of the World by Queen

Queen: Freddie Mercury (vocals, piano); Brian May (guitar, background vocals); John Deacon (bass); Roger Taylor (drums, background vocals).

Pros Great experimentation. Roger sings a little!
Cons Side B is a little on the weak side; fizzles out.
Recommended it? Yes

It really did not matter what Queen did to follow up on A Night at the Opera-- the seceding record could have cured cancer with one listen and people still would have under-appreciated it.
