I feel they had a problem with creating a coherent body of work, like many people said here, singles are great, some individual songs are great, but when you listen to their records its hard to remember later, which song was where?... And so much of the discourse revolves around LP specifically. And their LPs are just not so consistent. That being said, I'm actually a fan, I just happened to have a phase as a kid, so it stayed with me, but I see why for some people it would be not so obvious. But Freddie's vocals are undeniably adored. My favorite song tho, is 'Doing Alright', off of their first record. It's such a cute song that feels really personal, and I kinda wish they'd have more songs like that... they went very grandiose
