Innuendo

Innuendo (1991) is the fourteenth studio album by the British rock band Queen, released on 4 February 1991 by Parlophone in the United Kingdom[4] and was the band's first studio album to be released by Hollywood Records in the United States. Produced by David Richards and Queen, it was their last album to be released in lead singer Freddie Mercury's lifetime.

The album reached the No. 1 spot on the UK Albums Chart for two weeks, and also peaked at No. 1 in Italy, the Netherlands, Germany, and Switzerland, staying at No. 1 for three weeks, four weeks, six weeks, and eight weeks, respectively. It was the first Queen album to go Gold in the US upon its release since The Works in 1984.

In a retrospective review, AllMusic wrote, "Innuendo was a fitting way to end one of rock's most successful careers". For Classic Rock in 2016, Malcolm Dome ranked it as Queen's ninth greatest album, writing that "Innuendo had a lot of intelligent humour and pathos about it." He praised the title track's "brilliantly synthesised orchestrations" and added "perhaps most poignant of all is the low key yet mesmerising 'These Are The Days Of Our Lives', which ended with Mercury’s whispered paean 'I still love you', which was moving in its simplicity." Dome concluded, "The album summed up how Queen could draw people close, yet still keep them at a convenient distance."
