I think that because some of the complexities of some of our songs the tag “overproduced” is one that is easily applied to Queen, but it's just not true. If you look at it intelligently, there are certain kinds of songs that need that kind of attention, just as there are others that don't. On A Day at the Races you can find both examples: Millionaire Waltz needed that layered effect whereas Take My Breath Away needed the sparseness that we gave it, just piano and vocal. What we don't want is anything second-rate. Our time in the studio is spent recording, recording, recording. We're in there pretty much by ourselves now that we're producing ourselves, and it takes a lot of time. A lot of the album actually expands and grows when we're in the studio. I don't think any of us ever want to look back on an album and say, “if only we'd done that it would have been better.” We want it right when we do it; if it means taking a long time, then we take a long time. I wanted an orchestrated sound, and Brian said that he was going to get his guitar to do all the orchestration. We set it out as though we'd hired an orchestra to come into the studio, and then Brian worked through each part - the cellos, the various other strings. It took a long time.
