Taxman

Freddie was too much showman to show how he truly felt. Just like the whole band. I like their music, they were talented players and Freddie surely had a great voice. They were diverse, occasionally even original.

But, first their lyrics were kinda awful. Pretentious stories about pretentious things, and their music did not help that. You know, they mixed opera with rock and it is a good allegory. Opera is a show. And it includes actors.
Same goes for Queen. It was merely an act. Just like, Mick Jagger.

Just read those lyrics. Let's take Bohemian Rhapsody as an example. It would work as an allegory of Freddy's homosexualism and all, and be sincere statement, cos it starts like one. If a song starts as a sincere-sounding piano ballad, you should not spoil it with a nonsensical operatic bridge. I mean, musically that bridge is great and makes that song for me, but it spoils the whole emotional side of that song.
Same goes for nearly everyone of their songs. Too overblown and pretentious, both lyrically and musically.
It could be possible that for example, Who Wants To Live Forever was a sincere song when it was written, but when it was brought to the studio and recorded, it became too overblown to cause any kind of emotional reaction.

In spite of all those complaints, I really like Queen. They were a great, diverse and pretty original band. I just get annoyed when they are claimed to some kind of gods. But while I like to listen to their music and I get a lot of inspiration and satisfaction from it, I won't get any emotional refund from it.

Although, to be fair, I believe The Show Must Go On and Those Were The Days Of Our Lifes are sincere emotional statements. But nobody would notice it if he was still alive cos again. The Show Must Go On. Definitely so. Show indeed.
