With Mercury’s declining health, I feel the music took a turn as well, The Miracle provides a listening experience that was just satisfactory, nothing really blew me away that I didn’t already know. “I Want It All” features some of May’s fastest guitar playing, and is a fantastic hard rock track from the band.
