    Bohemian Rhapsody's soundtrack is as dramatically paced, unrelentingly emotive and intrinsically cinematic as it's reasonably possible for any flat piece of circular plastic to be.

    A thoughtfully curated soundtrack, Bohemian Rhapsody offers a compelling narrative of Queen's storied arc into rock legend.

    The only throwaway is the “movie mix” of “We Will Rock You,” which combines the studio version with a live recording. As a whole, it’s a fun, mostly un-retouched tribute to the group’s musical genius.

    Since Bohemian Rhapsody is a soundtrack targeted at a wide audience, not an archival release suited for collectors, not all of the Live Aid performance is here; “Crazy Little Thing Called Love” and “We Will Rock You” are missing. The omissions underscore how superfluous Bohemian Rhapsody is.

    It's Queen, and some of the best songs in an album. It doesn't get better than this.

It has some of their best and most unforgeable songs like Killer Queen, Bohemian Rhapsody, We will Rock you, Another one bites the Dust, Who wants to live forever, We are the Champions, Radio Ga Ga, Don't stop me now, Hammer to Fall and the Show must go on (and more). There is no skippable song here. They made a fine selection with the songs including live performances from the legendary Live Aid from 1985. I will say you get a lot for your money. Queen and Freddie Mercury are part of music history and here you see or better said hear why.… Expand
