Queen had been finding a bigger and bigger audience through the 1970s, and by 1977 were headlining arenas and finding plenty of airplay, both with the more hit-oriented stations and the FM rock stations. (While they had plenty of airplay in the US, they reportedly had too much in many countries...but I'm hoping those folks at least didn't have to listen to the endless airplay of bands like Boston, Styx, Foreigner, Frampton...like we had to suffer through in the States). What do you do when you've reached the top? This album gives fans more of what they love and also offering another album that seemed cohesive, consistent and unique. While "Don't Stop Me Now" and especially "Fun It" hint toward the change in direction we'd witness this band take in the 1980s, this (along with the live set from the 1978 tour) served as a bookend for their 1970s output. (An output that included 7 albums in about 5 years time). While "Fat Bottom Girls" / "Bicycle Race" would become one of those immensely popular two-part players on FM stations, this album wasn't embraced quite as much as some of their sets in the States, with one of their now best-known anthems "Don't Stop Me Now" only reaching #86 when released in 1978. Some might argue that this is not their best album, but it's another essential grab for fans, full of familiar numbers that would end up on Queen anthologies and plenty of oddball cuts that you'll likely only find here.
