On the first album this song was half finished and yet, to whet the appetite for the future listener (read: fill time), the band included it. That version was sluggish and not well though out.
Things are mighty different this time out.
The piano is played with purpose. The guitar glisses are cinematic. The band is tighter. And, most important, Freddie is in full glam-bat out of hell vocal regalia.
There is tension as we come out of the solos that suggest an army of bat Ike gargoyles swooping down with a vengeance.
The song ends with a happy beach going chorus fighting their way in to be heard, and they win out in the end, suggesting out emergence from whatever funhouse fantasia this album has been.
Grade: A
