Rövid ismertető
Kísérletek helyett a jól bevált recept: az "It's A Hard Life" a Bohemian Rhapsody stílusában készült, a Man On The Prowl pedig a Crazy Little Thing-re emlékeztet. Remekül eltalált arányban hallhatók érzelmes Mercury dalok és Brian dühös gitártémái. A The Works a Queen tudásának esszenciája olyan laza slágerekkel, mint a Radio GaGa, az I Want To Break Free és a Hammer To Fall. Alapmű.
