A DAY AT THE RACES appeared almost exactly one year later after 1975's hugely successful A NIGHT AT THE OPERA, proving to be a more-than-deserving follow-up and nearly duplicating its predecessor's success. Queen was now a master of the recording studio, utilizing every piece of technology to its fullest, which helped push such demanding tracks as "Somebody to Love" over the top. But Queen certainly wasn't just about studio tricks; the band had the strong tunes to back up its rich sound.

In addition to aforementioned gospel-tinged hit "Somebody to Love," the album features many other strong tracks--a politically-charged song about the plight of the American Indian ("White Man"), several touching love songs ("Teo Torriate," "You and I," "You Take My Breath Away"), and old-timey tunes ("The Millionaire Waltz"). Freddy Mercury and the boys also include a healthy dose of their trademark Queenly rock on "Tie Your Mother Down" and break out some excellent pop ditties in the form of "Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy" and "Long Away."

Recorded in England between July and November 1976.

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

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

Q (Magazine) (p.118) - "[T]he breadth of its ambition remains ever impressive, as doe tracks such as May's stomping 'Tie Your Mother Down' and Mercury's baroque one-two, 'Somebody To Love' and 'Gold Old-Fashioned Lover Boy.'"
Q (Magazine) (p.118) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Freddie goes gospel on SOMEBODY TO LOVE and Brian services bedroom-mirror rockers everywhere with 'Tie Your Mother Down.'"
Record Collector (magazine) (p.99) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "The attention to sonic detail is still there..."

5 stars Opera rock
Combining elements from classical opera and modern rock, Queen has created a masterpiece of a record. The span of late Freddie Mercury's voice is remarkable.

3 stars Not their best
Queen in the heyday, but this was an off day for me. The songs on this album do not have the staying power of their other albums, it's pretty easy to get tired of these songs quickly. "The Millionaire Waltz", "You Take My Breath Away" and the Hollywood remix of "Tie Your Mother Down" are the songs that stand out as great, the rest are mediocre.

5 stars Freddy's vocals were never better!
If you appreciate freddy Mercury's vocal talent, you must own this CD. His voice never sounded any better.

5 stars Greatest Album
Best record they've ever made!Don't like the remixes. Buy all the Japan releases. They are the biggest band of all time [quite simple!]
