Search - Queen :: Sheer Heart Attack

If their first two albums represented breakthroughs in the U.S. and the U.K., Sheer Heart Attack, Queen's 3rd lp, was yet another jump up the ladder. An international smash hit, it's an album that really highlights the band's pre-eminent credibility in hard rock/heavy metal. Were they not so wildly and successfully eclectic, Queen would still have been known as a first rank hard rock band and Sheer Heart Attack features some of their best. "Killer Queen", "Stone Cold Crazy", "In The Lap Of The Gods" "Now I'm Here" songs that remain among the pantheon. The band so loved the album title that they revived it for another of their signature frenetic rockers on the `News of the World' album, but more on that another time... Bonus disc content includes `Now I'm Here' from Queen's legendary, bootlegged but never before seen the official Queen endorsed light of day Hammersmith Odeon concert of 1975. `Flick Of The Wrist' and `Tenement Funster' were recorded at Queen's fourth BBC radio session in October 1974. `In The Lap Of The Gods' was reinserted in the band's live set during 1986's world tour and this transcendent version shows off the band the peak of their creativity.
