Queen: Freddie Mercury (vocals, piano) Brian May (guitar, harp, ukulele, background vocals) John Deacon (electric piano, acoustic & electric basses) Roger Taylor (percussion, background vocals). It's prog rock with a sense of humor as well as dynamics, and Queen never bettered their approach anywhere else. But the appeal - and the influence - of A Night at the Opera is in its detailed, meticulous productions. No one in the band takes anything too seriously, otherwise the arrangements wouldn't be as ludicrously exaggerated as they are. Using the multi-layered guitars of its predecessor as a foundation, A Night at the Opera encompasses metal ('Death on Two Legs,' 'Sweet Lady'), pop (the lovely, shimmering 'You're My Best Friend'), campy British music hall ('Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon,' 'Seaside Rendezvous'), and mystical prog rock (''39,' 'The Prophet's Song'), eventually bringing it all together on the pseudo-operatic 'Bohemian Rhapsody.' In short, it's a lot like Queen's own version of Led Zeppelin IV, but where Zep find dark menace in bombast, Queen celebrate their own pomposity. Queen were straining at the boundaries of hard rock and heavy metal on Sheer Heart Attack, but they broke down all the barricades on A Night at the Opera, a self-consciously ridiculous and overblown hard rock masterpiece. Produced by Roy Thomas Baker and Queen, it was reportedly the most expensive album ever recorded at the time of its release. A Night at the Opera is the fourth studio album by the British rock band Queen, released on 21 November 1975 by EMI Records in the United Kingdom and by Elektra Records in the United States.
