Sheer Heart Attack

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Sheer Heart Attack being Queen's 3rd studio album and 1974 release was hailed by most of the critics. Allmusic, Martin C. Strong and Q gave it very high marks in their reviews. The album contains many musical styles and here is a little bit of rock, hard rock, heavy metal, glam rock, and speed metal. Tracks that stand out on this release are "Killer Queen", "Now I'm Here" and "Stone Cold Crazy". The booklet contains no lyric but has a list of whom plays what on the album. 5/5."

DON'T YOU MISFIRE

"Not many other groups can get away with covering so many styles of music with such grace as Queen. A great album.Brighton Rock is a fast paced rock song with some high pitched vocals from the amazing Mercury interluded with some brilliant guitar work from may. 'Killer Queen' is probably one of Queen's best ever songs. 'Tenement Funster' brings in Roger Taylors vocals and is a slow but well produced piece of work. 'Flick of the Wrist' and 'Lily of the Valley' are both excellent songs which merge into each other as we go from rock to a ballad. ' Now I'm Here' is a classic rock song and 'In the Lap of the Gods' uses more vocal disturbance to produce a wonderfully diverse song. 'Stone Cold Crazy' is the 'hardest' song on the album and is actually a very early Queen song as it was often performed years before it appeared on this album. 'Dear Friends' is a slow interlude before the Deacon number 'Misfire'. 'Bring back Leroy Brown' is a very diverse song and is continued by 'She Makes Me' with May on Vocals. 'In The Lap of the Gods revisited' we have a wonderful end to a great album."

""Killer Queen," "Bring Back That Leroy Brown," "Flick of the Wrist" are all great Queen tunes. The entire album holds together well after all these years."
