For me, A Day at the Races was disappointing after A Night at the Opera and I'm trying to figure out the reasons. There was too much repetition. As well as that, Freddie and Brian devote so much time to their own material so that when one of the other guys writes a song, it doesn't get enough attention and comes out half-baked. Freddie, I think, should spend a little more time helping the other guys in the band develop their songs. Maybe they should all improve themselves in each other's trips a little more. They seem to me to be becoming less and less of a band.
