5* FranchiseOriginalSin: When this album came out in 1980, with its {{disco}} and SynthPop influences, it managed to be a smash hit in the US (where it made about half its sales), even though [[DiscoSucks disco was undergoing heavy backlash]] there at the time. It's still considered one of their better albums, yet on their 1982 follow-up ''Music/HotSpace'', they embraced disco whole-hog. ''Hot Space'' was lambasted for its deviations from the band's traditional rock style, and while Queen's international popularity would quickly bounce back, [[AmericansHateTingle Americans wouldn't take them seriously again]] until [[DeadArtistsAreBetter after the death]] of Music/FreddieMercury in 1991.
6* MemeticMutation: Another one biting the dust[[labelnote:Explanation]]During the late 2010s, it became popular to caption images of characters biting objects and/or other characters based on the title of "Another One Bites the Dust". Appropriately, the one biting is "Another One," while the one getting bitten is "the Dust."[[/labelnote]]
7* MisaimedFandom: "Another One Bites the Dust" is often used among CPR trainers to help establish a rhythm of presses per minute with the composition of the song. That said, performing resuscitation presses to a song about a RoaringRampageOfRevenge shooting spree seems... ''[[{{Irony}} ironic]]''.
8* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: The bassline and guitar riffs in "Another One Bites the Dust" are strikingly similar to the ones in Music/{{Chic}}'s "Good Times". Justified as Chic's Bernard Edwards says that John Deacon, the song's writer, hung out at their studio, leading to this song. The song's bassline and rhythm is also pretty reminiscent of "Rapper's Delight" by Music/TheSugarhillGang -- [[FridgeBrilliance which makes sense]], since that was based entirely around a looped sample from the aforementioned "Good Times".
9* ValuesDissonance: "Don't Try Suicide" is a jokey song about a serious subject, which may come off poorly in an era where mental health, depression, and suicidaility are taken more seriously.
