  • Broken Base: The effectiveness of the Long-Lost Guitars rendition of "Don't Stop Me Now" is debated among fans. Was Brian May right that the original rendition felt rather naked, and this rendition is the definitive version, or was the original song fine without guitars, and this rendition makes it sound too busy?
  • Memetic Mutation: ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗExplanation
  • Vindicated by History: The album was originally regarded as a Follow-Up Failure after News of the World, but it's become better appreciated in later years. This tracks with the album's most popular song, "Don't Stop Me Now". At the time of release it was considered a minor entry in their catalogue (they only played it in 1979, during the Jazz and Crazy tours, before they removed it from their setlist) but its reputation has grown to the point where it's now their second-most popular song ever, behind only "Bohemian Rhapsody".
