 (9 Customer Reviews)
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 ... Full Descriptionroots 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").
All songs written by Queen.
Recorded at Olympic Studios, Town House Studios, London, England and Mountain Studios, Montreux, Switzerland.
Queen: Freddie Mercury, Brian May, John Deacon, Roger Taylor.
Q - 4 Stars - Excellent Hide Description 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.

Miracle album
 $12.05   
INNUENDO would turn out to be Queen's swan song, as it was the last album released during vocalist Freddie Mercury's lifetime--he passed away several months after the album's release. Expanding on the successful back-to-basics sound of 1989's THE MIRACLE, INNUENDO was another solid outing. And like it's predecessor, it contains several tracks with lyrics that are clearly autobiographical for the band and especially Mercury, particularly "These Are the Days of Our Lives" and "The Show Must Go On," which deal with the topic of mortality.
Not all of INNUENDO deals with serious topics, however--"I'm Going Slightly Mad" and "Delilah" both contain humorous lyrics and were designed to be taken lightheartedly. The epic title track, which opens the album, is an instant Queen classic on first listen, built similarly in structure to past Queen classics "Bohemian Rhapsody" and "Somebody to Love." A pair of wonderful hard rockers, "The Hitman" and "Headlong" can be found on INNUENDO, as can a couple of lush ballads--"Don't ...
| | Queen Hot Space CD (1982)
Miracle CD music
$12.05
1982's HOT SPACE is by far the most controversial album Queen ever released. Coming off a major disco hit with 1980's "Another One Bites The Dust," the band decided to take it a step further and released an album comprised mostly of tunes crafted from the same dance mold. This wouldn't have been a big deal for some bands, but the majority of Queen's fans were rock n' rollers, not disco buffs. Looking back, the band admits some trepidation at releasing HOT SPACE when they did, but there are indeed many strong Queen compositions included.
The most renowned track is the Queen/David Bowie hit collaboration, "Under Pressure," a tip of the hat to the then-thriving new wave sound that remains one of Queen's all-time best tracks. Other highlights include one of the band's most underrated songs, "Calling All Girls," as well as the anti-rifle protest "Put Out the Fire," and the charming love song "Las Palabras De Amor (The Words of Love)." Of all the dance-oriented material, the best is undoubtedly the U.S. hit "Body ...
| | Queen Jazz CD (1978)
Miracle music CDs
$12.05 
In 1978, all eyes were on Queen as they released the follow-up to their monster global hit NEWS OF THE WORLD. Predictably, JAZZ didn't achieve the massive commercial success of it's predecessor, but in aesthetic terms, it's a solid statement, and a marked progression of the band's musical vision. Though the band was already well into their "eclectic" mode by this time, the stylistic ventures the band takes on this album bring them even further afield from the heavy rock they're best known for.
Freddie Mercury kicks things off with "Mustapha," a nod to his Middle Eastern origins. Queen exhibits a ribald sense of humour on "Fat Bottomed Girls." Mercury indulges his Broadway tendencies to the hilt on "IF You Can't Beat Them" and "Don't Stop Me Now," which sound like they could have come from some obscure '50s musical. The jazzy "Dreamer's Ball" and the mellow, romantic "In Only Seven Days" provide welcome contrast. Amid all this eclecticism, though, the standout tracks are the ...
| | Queen Kind Of Magic CD (1986)
Miracle songs
$12.05
Some songs on this album appear in different form in the film HIGHLANDER.
A KIND OF MAGIC primarily functioned as a musical backdrop for the movie HIGHLANDER, but unlike Queen's other motion picture soundtrack (1980's FLASH GORDON), the album doesn't contain a single instrumental--they're all fully realized songs. Although it's not quite on par with their time-honored offerings from the '70s and didn't chart well in the States, A KIND OF MAGIC still contains more than a few classic Queen tracks.
For those who doubted Queen could still compose rip-roaring heavy metal, the lead-off track, "One Vision," silenced such concerns once and for all. With lyrics that describe Queen's show-stopping appearance at 1985's Live Aid benefit concert, "One Vision" is easily the album's high point. Other standouts include the majestic swirl of the title track, the beautiful yet melancholy ballad "Who Wants To Live Forever," the classy pop of "Friends Will Be Friends," and the first-rate rocker, "Gimme The Prize (Kurgan's ...
| | Queen Works CD (1984)
Miracle album
$10.39
With their previous album (HOT SPACE) confusing many of their fans, Queen had something to prove on THE WORKS. The band definitely succeeded at getting back on track--THE WORKS was one of the best rock releases of 1984, featuring the worldwide smash "Radio GaGa" and reintroducing their fans to Queen's classic sound. THE WORKS spawned a total of four U.K. top ten singles, confirming that Queen had returned from their short hiatus in fine form.
Almost all of the elements you've come to expect from a classic Queen release are present on here. "I Want To Break Free" and "It's A Hard Life" are instantly addictive pop-rock. "Tear It Up" is a straight-ahead rocker and "Machines (Back To Humans)" is a successful electronic rock experiment. And as on the majority of latter-day Queen albums, there are a few politically charged tunes. "Hammer To Fall," became an instant concert favorite with it's merger of melodic hard rock and a sing-a-long chorus, but the lyrics ...

Miracle songs

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. ...
