My personal favourite Queen album, Queen II’s fantasy rock venture is something of dreams or nightmares depending on your personal taste, but for me, the album was made in heaven, as there are some musical marvels across it’s runtime. Shame that this early era of Queen is somewhat forgotten about bar “Seven Seas of Rhye”
