I used to listen to Rudy when he was on the radio, and he's one of the most well-informed musicologists in the state. I don't see where you get him "having no clue" from his review. Quite the opposite, he acknowledged the difference in Queen's stage work and studio work, and summed it up by writing, "Rather than disappoint, the reworked arrangements enhance the listening experience." While I'm sure you can name all of Queen's post-1981 hits, most people can't name any of them without Googling first. This was the band at their peak. It was downhill from there.

Which song was screwed up, you ask? It's "Somebody to Love" not "Someone to Love".
