Queen - Sheer Heart Attack Album Review
Queens 3rd album released 8th November 1974. Which meany in a Year Queen had released 3 albums.
If Queen II had created a mythical sound scape the Sheet]r Heart Attack delivers another aspect. That of personality humour and musical diversity.
Th First track Brighton Rock starts with fair ground noises and someone whistles I Do Like To Be Beside The Seaside which links it to the end of Queen II with Seven Seas Of Rhye Ending. The Brian May guitar solo is nothing short of epic and is still played live today.
Killer queen gave them a No2 Hit in uk charts and a spot on Top Of The Pops
Tenement Funster one of Roger Taylor’s finest Queen songs to date.
Flick Of The Wrist was a double A Side with Killer Queen but never for the deserved attention.
Lily of the Valley a short but lovely little ballad
Now I’m Here gave Queen another hit with this rocker which saw Brian May record the guitsr while I’ll in hospital.
Side two kicks off the In The Lap Of athe Gods not to be mixed up with the Revisited Version at end of album.
Stone Cold Crazy is a fire cracker of a song actually covered by the mighty Metallica in the 90s.
Dear Friends is a beautiful but sad little tune before going into Misfire which was John Deacons first Queen song
Bring Back Leroy Brown a humourus vaudeville song featuring George Formby Ukulele Banjo
She Makes Me (Stormtrooper In Stilettos) a Brian May song with heavy breathing and police sirens at the end.
Finishes off with In The Lap Of The God’s Revisited And Try Classic which should have been a single and played live throughout Queens live shows
Brilliant album and one of Queens finest
Brighton Rock being played at The London Olympics
