Great but not as groundbreaking as previous efforts

Review Score: (8/10)
By the time Queen got to Jazz, they'd already broken all the boundaries and proven they could do anything. So on Jazz they appear content to just write and perform songs for enjoyment without feeling the need to push a million different musical limits.

There are still some cool studio effects, though nothing overshadowing "Bohemian Rhapsody". There are still different musical styles, but not the drastic differences we saw on Sheer Heart Attack, A Night At The Opera, and A Day At The Races.

So if you're looking for Queen's truly groundbreaking work, try the previously mentioned three albums for a taste of their musical variety, or their epic Queen II album (less variety in musical styles, but many Queen fans' favorite album). Previous albums were more cohesive works of art, while Jazz seems to be simply a collection of songs. But it retains Queen's musical skill and knack for a good melody.
