Advantages: One Of Queens Best Albums

Disadvantages: None

This is a great album and the music from this album was commissioned for the film Highlander. The album features some great classic Queen tunes including the powerful One Vision, a great ballad It's A Kind Of Magic, a powerful operatic ballad Who Wants To Live Forever and a great uplifting Queen standard Friends Will Be Friends. As usual the B-Sides are quality songs and not like the tracks thrown on for good measure many bands rely on in making up an album. This is one of queens best works and probably one of the most successful Movie/Music tie ins in history. These tracks are timeless.

This was originally going to be a EP as the Highlander producers only commissioned a handful of songs. It is a concept album brought out at the time when concept albums were out of vogue.

One Vision is one of Queens heaviest tracks and a great show opener for the Magic Tour.
