there's a lot of "crap" from the sessions from around 88-90...
the band did work on some tracks on both sessions (Innuendo is a good example)...
"My Secret Fantasy" (which smells of a Deacon/Mercury collaboration) could have been a B-side
"Face it Alone" has a tremendous intro - then nothing...guitar-wise it's bliss
"Robbery" is studio stuff - they tried the recipe and it was a good result with "Stealin'"
for me the only song that could have/should have been developed, screams "I'm your next single", is "I guess we're falling out" - can't understand how they threw out that melody!
I Guess We're Falling Out is hideous! The chorus literally sounds like a joke. A rambling, raspy mess.
Robbery and My Secret Fantasy aren't all that great. Self Made Man was a good canvas (if I can use that word) - with a lot of work on it, there's the potential for it to be a decent song. As it stands it's just a thing that they gave up on, and in its current form not very interesting at all.

Fuck My Dear!
Before you ask people to fuck you, please first tell us something about yourself. It makes it easier to decide for us whether we want to do such thing to you.
The Miracle/ Innuendo stuff is pretty bad??? Try to listen to those pieces as demos, jam-session cuts, rough ideas of what a song should sound like and not as almost finished songs. 'I Guess We're Falling Out' is a really nice demo if regarded as such, but I think the best one from that period is 'Affairs'. Freddie's vocals are astonishing: link
I would love to hear a 'Made In Heaven'-like Queen treatment on those tracks - and not only on those tracks... together with those Freddie & Michael Jackson demos Brian and Roger (and, why not, John) could release a new Queen album. The fact that most of those demos do not have lyrics is meaningless. To hear Freddie on a 'new' Queen album is much more important... and of course much more interesting than a live project with Adam Lambert.

no it isn't
just picture it:
album time 50 min
actual vocals 30 min
bri/rog extra verses 10 min
freddie vox 5 min
freddie la-di-da 10 min
freddie oh-ah-oh-ah-ahs 5 min
sounds like a bag of shit to me
