About

Though the public didn’t know it at the time, <i>The Miracle</i>, released in 1989, is the first album Queen made after Freddie Mercury was diagnosed with AIDS. It’s also the first album in which the band shared songwriting credits instead of staking individual claims—a business decision, but also a reflection of newfound solidarity. Rock had changed, especially in the mainstream: Guns N’ Roses and Metallica were holding down the vanguard for music both violently antisocial and embraced by million, while Def Leppard and Bon Jovi had taken over the airbrushed pleasures of Ki. Neither bad boys nor pinup, shut-ins nor nerd, Queen felt like the standard-bearers of a more innocent time. Admittedly, the group had always stood out; that’s part of what made them great. But in the late 1980, the closest thing you could compare them to in terms of their sense of grandeur and hope was probably U2—a different band in pretty much every other way. .
