Queen: Freddie Mercury, Brian May, John Deacon, Roger Taylor.
Recorded at Olympic Studios, Town House Studios, London, England and Mountain Studios, Montreux, Switzerland.
All songs written by Queen.
Following their massive 1986 European stadium tour for the A Kind of Magic album, Queen took an extended break. Rumors swirled about an impending breakup, but it turned out the break was brought on by a painful marital divorce for guitarist Brian May (who subsequently battled depression and contemplated suicide), and Freddie Mercury being diagnosed with AIDS. Instead of sinking further into misery, the band regrouped, worked on each other's mental state, and recorded one of their most inspired albums, 1989's The Miracle. Lyrically, the songs tend to reflect on the band's past accomplishments ("Khashoggi's Ship," "Was It All Worth It") as well as the state of the world in the late '80s (the title track, "I Want It All"). Produced by the band and David Richards, The Miracle packs quite a sonic punch, recalling the rich sounds of their past classics (1976's A Day at the Races, etc.). Split 50/50 between pop ("Breakthru," "The Invisible Man," "Rain Must Fall") and heavy rock (the aforementioned "I Want It All," "Khashoggi's Ship," "Was It All Worth It"), the album was another global smash, even re-establishing the band stateside (going Top 30 and attaining gold status). Along with The Game, The Miracle is Queen's strongest album of the '80s. ~ Greg Prato
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 the band's most successful U.S. releases of the '80s--both artistically and commercially. With rumors 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 on the single "I Want It All," and offers interesting slabs of both dance ("The Invisible Man") and expertly crafted pop ("Breakthru").Q - 4 Stars - Excellent Miracle Music Review Average Rating: (3.4 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews Another Miracle
Another amazing album. With 4 of their greatest hits. "The Miracle," "I Want It All," "The Invisible Man," and "Breakthru." This album also includes a very interesting, lets say "rare," track. "Chinese Torture," and it's an insrtumental!!! Queens one and only instrumantal. No vocals what so ever. This is a must have for any fan of anyone.

A Miracle...
It was just a miracle this album was even made. Obviously Queen since The Game never put out a Excellent album BUT never a BAD one at that. Always containing a few good songs on each album. Anyway, I think Queen are a positive band and in a now negative world it is refreshing to listen to Queen albums to keep you happy basically. This band was Elaborate and why not? I dig it. From a night at the opera to the game all those albums are classic but if you like those then you'd like the rest. The one thing i have is it seems their is no really true great version of albums made yet in my opinion. I think Hollywood Records adding some who care bonus tracks stink for the early albums but the later day album bonus track are way better so it evens out i guess. I just wih on the early albums more hard to find bonus tracks were added like "Soul Brother" should of been on Hot Space etc...

In an age where most albums run a coarse of monotany, queen shows again the ability to grow and explore several genres on one record. regardless of your feeling for the band you simply must respect an act that effortlessy displays dynamic range through the coarse of an album. with queen you get it all!

Queen never will be bad
Queen never will be bad, but this isn't a great album. All their past records are better than The Miracle, and The Invisible Man was the all time worst single of the band; it makes me laugh!!!
If you want to buy a Queen's pop album, choose Hot Space or The Game.

i don't understand what people saw in the music of queen outside of a few songs mainly from innuendo, after a day at the races. the first 4 queen albums say it all, their is such depth and excellence. they can be compared with any music in rock history. i wouldn't say that for there post opera albums. most of those songs are watered down. how can you compare the later work to greatness like prophet song, brighton rock, lap of the gods, and the whole first album. that album kicks.

Unbeknownst to the public, Freddie Mercury had been diagnosed with the AIDS virus in the late '80s. Although his health weakened by the '90s, Mercury insisted that the band work on music until the very end; their final album turned out to be 1991's Innuendo. ...

Recorded at Mountain Studios, Montreux, Switzerland and Musicland Studios, Munich, Germany.
Because Queen took the better part of 1981 off to work on the follow-up to their big 1980 hit The Game, fans were confident that the band's next release would follow in their winning tradition of classic albums. Unfortunately, this would not be the case. Unlike its predecessor, Hot Space was an inconsistent effort, marred by unfocused songwriting and material that was simply not as strong as their earlier work. Since they had just previously enjoyed a massive hit with the disco-fied "Another One Bites the Dust," Queen decided to dedicate the entire first side of the album to dance music, something that alienated their longtime rock fans. And while the single "Body Language" nearly cracked the U.S. Top Ten, the rest of the dance material was easily forgettable ...

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

Recording information: Montreux, Switzerland (07/1978-10/1978); Nice, France (07/1978-10/1978).
Photographers: Peter Hince; David Finch.
Famously tagged as "fascist" in a Rolling Stone review printed at the time of its 1978 release, Jazz does indeed showcase a band that does thrive upon its power, thrilling upon the hold that it has on its audience. That confidence, that self-intoxication, was hinted at on News of the World but it takes full flower here, and that assurance acts as a cohesive device, turning this into one of Queen's sleekest albums. Like its patchwork predecessor, Jazz also dabbles in a bunch of different sounds -- that's a perennial problem with Queen, where ...

Reissue of 1968's 'Wheatfield Soul' & 1973's 'Artificial Paradise' on one remastered CD. 20 tracks including the hit 'These Eyes'. Slipcase. RCA. 2004.
This 2-for-1 collection combines two records from Canadian rock group the Guess Who, WHEATFIELD SOUL from 1968 and ARTIFICIAL PARADISE from 1973; the former includes the top ten hit "These Eyes."
This two-fer from BMG Canada features a pair of out of print Guess Who LPs: Wheatfield Soul and Artificial Paradise, both originally issued on RCA Victor in 1968 and 1973 respectively. These albums highlight 20 songs, including "Pink Wine Sparkles in the Glass," "Follow Your Daughter Home," "A Wednesday in Your Garden," and the hit "These Eyes." While a greatest-hits package would satisfy most casual listeners' needs, these albums are worth acquiring for fanatics of the '70s Canadian rock group. ~ Al Campbell
Wheatfield Soul by the Guess Who has become a collectors item of sorts over the years, fetching various prices in fan circles, and it is an important "first" step for the reconstituted group which initially hit with "Shakin' All Over" when it was led by Chad Allan. The album is Jack Richardson's excellent production of Randy Bachman and Burton Cummings' music played by this particular four-piece unit, which Peter Clayton's liner notes claim were together "for three years when they cut this album in late 1968." The naïve sound of Cummings' voice on the album tracks is charming, but the hit "These Eyes" has that authority which the band would repeat on diverse chart songs like "No Time," "American Woman," and even "Star Baby" further down the road. "Pink Wine Sparkles in the Glass" is a precursor to "New ...

| | Brandi Carlile The Story CD (2007) Limited Edition; Digipak
Miracle
$8.79
Personnel: Brandi Carlile (guitar); Josh Neumann (cello); David Palmer , Keefus Ciancia (keyboards); Matt Chamberlain (drums); Tim Hanseroth, Phil Hanseroth (background vocals).
Additional personnel: Emily Saliers, Amy Ray (vocals).
Brandi Carlile is a singer-songwriter who truly deserves the title. Blessed with a beautiful voice, a keen sense of melody, and a penchant for smart, evocative lyrics, Carlile writes songs that slip easily into the listener's ears and go straight to the blood. The artist's sophomore effort, THE STORY, released in 2007, represents a significant maturation over her already excellent 2005 self-titled debut.
Produced by the legendary T-Bone Burnett, THE STORY has an urgent, stripped-down feel that nevertheless gleams with lush, lovely atmosphere. Backed by a full band, Carlile's sound is muscular yet intimate, falling somewhere between country, rock, and folk. It's a satisfying listen any way you slice it, one that will appeal especially to fans of the alt country and new folk movements.
One of the most appealing qualities of Brandi Carlile's debut album was that it had an ethereal quality, unattached to style or sound or time. Since she was a singer/songwriter playing an acoustic guitar, there were undoubtedly elements of folk, but Carlile's songwriting was elliptical and elastic, giving her plenty of room to indulge her powerful voice, a voice that had echoes of Jeff Buckley and Thom Yorke. This gave Brandi Carlile a spacey, dreamy quality, but for as good as it was, the album didn't achieve much attention initially apart from some rave reviews. Still, Carlile and the label slowly worked the record, getting some songs onto Grey's Anatomy as they laid the groundwork for her second album, The Story, which was designed to be her big breakthrough. Producer T-Bone Burnett -- a singer/songwriter in his own right, but better known as the man behind O Brother, Where Art Thou? and ...
