Sessions for the 1976 album were named after a Marx Brothers film as a nod to their previous work. The record contains power-driven songs like Somebody to Love alongside the guitar-heavy Tie Your Mother Down.
Lush vocal layering and sophisticated production techniques define the experience. It captures an arena rock sound that bridges theatrical art-rock with the pop hooks that would come to represent their global presence.
