thread_title: Album box

message: This entire article was a list of lists and charts and boxes. I have tried to make some of it into text. I do not think I have lost any vital information. I have tried to make UK and US releases distinct.  Telsa 11:03, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Two Singles sections?

message: *It sounds like a review. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by TheDavesr (talk • contribs) 4 July 2006 (UTC)
:*I only saw one sentence in that section that was blatantly POV, and it looks like that has been removed since the template was added. This is not to say that this section is written well, and it could certainly use more references. But I think it's safe to remove the POV tag for now. -- H·G (words/works) 06:50, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: * Agreed.  I looked over the section, and it's solidly NPOV now -- just totally uncited.  Have retagged appropriately. -- Kaosfere 05:44, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: I marked that section as POV

message: Is the name a reference to the Marx Brothers movie?  I know the album before this was called A Night at the Opera, which is also a Marx Brothers movie.  Does anyone have definite evidence?P.L.A.R. 01:31, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the fact that not one, but two albums are named after Marx films kind of speaks for itself. —♦♦ SʘʘTHING(Я) 05:46, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Album name 

message: The article says that Teo Torriatte "is one of only two Queen songs (the other "Mustapha", from the album Jazz) in which an entire verse is sung in a language other than English". I recall at least another song, "Las palabras de amor", from the album Hot Space, which has two verses sung in Spanish (that, of course, if we understand "verse" as a line of metrical text).

thread_title:  Queen songs with verses in a language other than English 

message: According to this it is 5:07 not 3:43 minutes long. My own version of the record has the long version. Is this an error? Drutt (talk) 11:13, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The original EMI CDs from the late 80s mistakenly put the end of "You Take My Breath Away" onto the start of "Long Away" (i.e. the massed tape loop overdubs of Freddie murmuring the title of the song in harmony...)--feline1 (talk) 12:24, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  You take my breath away 

message: Currently, the description for You And I mentions a dark tone and a heavy guitar riff, however to me its always seemed a very upbeat song, with fairly light guitaring. What do others think about this particular piece of description?

thread_title:  You and I 

message: Do we really need the George Starostin review ? I mean, there are plenty of other reviews by professional reviewers whose reviews are actually published by reputable magazines and websites. On top of that, his reviews were written with the benefit of hindsight, which makes them far less interesting, because they don't exemplify the critical response at the time the record was released. Just because his reviews are long-winded and often disagree with popular opinion doesn't make them any more interesting than those of the next person with a website. Also, his scoring system goes up to 15, so showing the score here as "9 stars out of 10" is misleading. 84.198.246.199 (talk) 16:44, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Reviews 

message: Hi,
the article on the album from the official website says the album had only gold status in the USA. The Wikipedia article tells it subsequently won platinum status. Where does this information come from? --Лорд Бъмбъри (talk) 09:17, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Only gold in USA 

message: Hi, I deleted the reference to "Niech Żyje Bal (Long Live the Party)" as it was unrelated to the said song. Thanks Lynisganda01 (talk) 23:27, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

message: The genre reads "music hall" in the infobox, however the Washington Post review in its references says that it mixes "heavy rock" and "opera". Is that not symphonic rock (rock that blends elements of classical music)? Also, the album review by Rolling Stone has a section where it mentions Queen imitating the symphony; is that not another source that cites it as symphonic rock?UndoubtedlyMe (talk) 20:21, 17 June 2018 (UTC)

replies: text: Jimdero.com is used a source in the Reception section, which is why I figured it was reliable. If it is unreliable then it must be deleted from the article. - UndoubtedlyMe (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 17:05, 18 November 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, Jimdero.com is used a reference in various articles, such as  and the reception section of "A Day at the Races". Therefore, it is a reliable source and can be used in the article. - UndoubtedlyMe (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 16:45, 27 December 2018 (UTC)

text: If you want something to happen you need leverage. Your leverage will come from a WP:SECONDARY source that you can cite, one that says the album is whatever genre. Otherwise, you are sharing your opinion which is not how we do it on Wikipedia. Binksternet (talk) 00:30, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
