Queen does some show tunes and what not. Some catchy tunes. It’s alright.
It's Queen, they are legends so I'm supposed to love them.
Good Album. But not Queen's best.
3.5
This album is fine, but glam rock is not for me. I cannot get into the over the top and excessiveness of the genre.
Eclectisch, hardrock afgewisseld met meer kitsch en ballads en theatraal, al wat nog zou volgen. Hard is echt hard, pseudo metal, Led Zeppelin. Stone Cold crazy ooit gecoverd door Metallica. Klinkt soms wat vermoeiend productioneel, veel left/right trucjes en massa's overdubs etc... Plots kon er veel en dat hoor je. Maar wel veel energie. Minder fantasy en progrock dan hun eerste twee platen, meer hardrock en af en toe een totaal geschifte uitspatting (Leroy Brown). Queen dus, op een kantelpunt net voor night at the opera.
J'ai un grand respect pour Queen mais à date il n'y a aucun album que j'aime entièrement du début à la fin. Il y a vraiment des gros bangers sur cet album, des pièces très hard rock que j'ai adoré. Mais aussi des pièces que je trouve tellement "stéréotypée Queen" que ça m'empêche d'embarquer pleinement. 7/10
Hmmm? Kai tämä monipuolisuudellaan paikkansa lunastaa. Riippuu mihin vertaa, mutta ainakin muuhun Queenin tuotantoon nähden jää vaisuksi, koska ei esim. ärsytä yhtään. Se Motörhead-tyyppinen crazy-biisi ilahdutti.
weird. but kinda nice
decent album, shows queen is more than 100 nr 1 hits
I can recognise each of the guys’ individual talents but their songs just don’t click with me
3/5
just generic queen and no hits.
Some classics. Some new to me. And what an album cover.
Queen has better records. They are a band that I think it's great but also don't really want to listen to that often so this can't ride above a 3 even though there is tons of talent here.
I went into this album with very low expectations, as I generally don’t like Queen. I even joked about wanting a “skip button”. However after giving this a good listen, I can confidently say “it’s not bad”
Fast paced and grand, what you expect from Queen. It was interesting listening to a whole album and not just the greatest hits. It didn’t disappoint
3.25
Mercury is obviously one of a kind but this isn’t one of my favorite Queen albums.
- it’s Queen so I can’t be objective - still imo not their best album - Killer Queen is a .. killer .. track, stone cold crazy too - rest is okay(-ish) for me - 3,5 / 5
Some good tracks but not their best.
Better than i expected cant say i had ever listed to an entire Queen album in its entirety, as always just a radio friendly singles band
pretty good stuff. Haven't heard most of these songs
Less vocal, more melody.
тут я наконец прочитала что это глам рок и теперь догадываюсь почему мне тяжело подряд много их слушать
Sheer Heart Attack is the third album by the British rock band Queen. This was the first album of that "classic" Queen sound of hard rock guitars instead of the earlier progressive rock. The songs were heavier and more concise which made this album more popular, and the band's skills were at the top of their game. This album has been certified platinum in Canada, Poland, and the UK, and certified gold in Japan, Sweden, the Netherlands, and the US. I love Queen, but this is the first time I've listened to this album in one go. Overall it was great, with some standout tracks that entertain from start to finish. However, some of these songs seem forgettable to me, like they could be rock songs from any band during the 70's. Although Queen transitioning to hard rock was a good idea in the long term, I think I missed some of the earlier work's charm on this album. Still, an amazing band and album though.
Killer Queen is an all time favorite song
A few good songs among more bad ones
Impressive rock album with instrumentals, vocals and composition
For me, Queen is one of those bands whose singles I like but albums not as much. This is no exception. Killer Queen is great, and the other songs are fine, but overall the album is just good, not great.
Some decent jams, and no real bad songs. Still, it is interesting to see how much filler there is in the Queen catalog.
Queen killer was cool. Didn’t like tenement funster. Freddie always makes awesome harmonies and Brian May is such a talented guitarist. Not their best work that Ive heard but I only know the hits.
It’s not that I don’t like Queen, but I happen to think about them as a “singles” type of band. It is quite difficult to me to listen a Queen album from head to toe. Sheer Heart Attack has some cool songs, but some tunes make the experience difficult. 3.5 / 5
Cool to here some of queens earlier stuff
It's weird, half the songs I thought were good, the other left no impression on me, what a strange album. Plus it's nearly the length of a film, there's two whole albums worth of stuff here!
Some hits on this album, other songs not lead by Freddie aren’t memorable to me at all.
3.5
Influential I’m sure, not my current taste.
Killer Queen is the highlight
Way more rocking than I would have thought. I think I had a hard time vibing with some of the songs, but I certainly was feeling others. Overall, it has great tracks like killer queen!
Obviously Killer Queen rips, but I also liked In The Lap Of The Gods. Overall, not hit after hit but a great sound.
I wanted to like this a lot more than I did. “Killer Queen” isn’t my favorite Queen song, but was the only one on the album I knew. The others weren’t my cup of tea - a little heavier rock and less pop than later Queen hits.
I had Queens greatest hits cd in my youth and I loved it! It was an amazing collection of their work. I had never listened to stand alone album of Queen before so I was excited but also wondered why I hadn’t. This album was very average to me, seemed almost like they were finding who Queen would become. Of course Killer Queen is a masterpiece song and one that I’ve heard a thousand times so it really was not special to hear again but interesting to see which album it came from. Excellent guitar work and vocals but again, nothing besides “Killer Queen” as a standout.
Some good tracks. Love early Queen.
Not a great album and too many short poppy songs and a lack of rock credentials.
I own this album. I can say that 14 year old Nancy Miller enjoyed it much more than current me. Freddy Mercury is a genius, but many of these songs did not hold up for me. Notable exception is Killer Queen, which still rocks.
I really thought I knew Queen, but I've never heard this album and only really knew the hit single "Killer Queen" off the track list. This is the Queeniest Queen album I've ever heard. If I had to make a parody of Queen music, I'd just use this album. It's bombastic, chaotic, and super glam & fun. I thought the songs flowed into each other in a really unified way, making this almost feel like a concept album and difficult to select a single track as a sleeper hit for me. I think I liked "Stone Cold Crazy" best, but "She Makes Me (Stormtrooper in Stilettos)" was also super weird and different from a lot of the rest of the album. Overall, just a fun listening experience hearing deeper cuts from a band who's hits are so well known.
Not a great fan, but the sound is distinct.
Gøy med litt Queen i blant
7th best queen album
All of the individual parts are great, particularly Freddie and Brian, but the only really great songs on this album are Killer Queen, Stone Cold Crazy, and Brighton Rock, with everything else just being very nice and listenable.
super clean transition from "Flick of the Wrist" into "Lilly of the Valley"
it was a great listen, definitely liked killer queen, it had some great mellow tracks and some great faster tracks as well.
Overblown theatrical rock from a band I've never loved. I just don't get their swing of styles from metal to cabaret "Now I'm here" rocks though. 2.75
I’ll be honest, I never knew this Queen existed. The only one I was familiar with was Killer Queen. Some of it sounded quite like the other high camp Glam legends KISS too (teaser for a later album?). Brighton Rock really stood out.
Another odd Queen album. I feel like you really have to be in the mood for this. I did enjoy She Makes Me so I’ll go with a 3.
A good album but not nearly as good as their best. Rocks pretty hard while including some of the “theatrical “ elements that would emerge later.
Enjoyed!
Unfortunately falls into the “the singles are good!” trap
Bombastic bilgewater, pretty fun in parts. Exactly what I expected :) Lap of the gods wis guid
An early Queen album and kind of a boring one. Killer Queen still slaps, Tenement Funster sounds like a Who tribute band, Stone Cold Crazy is ridiculous and fun (I guarantee at least one King Gizard member loves that song), Misfire's riff between verses was so out of place it truly made me laugh. Many of the songs here sound very much like Queen wasn't sure where their sound was going. It's silly and weird, but not in the way of future Queen albums, in a more accidental way. I don't think this album was trying to make me laugh as much as it did. Diverse, but not cohesive, still fun though.
parece rock anos 80 pré welcome to the jungle
Found out that Killer Queen was from this album
Good music, but since it was Queen I expected more
Who doesn’t love a bit of Queen?! Excellent album full of exactly what you expect! Not their greatest album, but I can see how it would have been fire back in the day!
I liked the album. I see Sheer Heart Attack as a step on the path to greatness. The music that would characterize the band in later albums can be heard to emerge here.
I'll take this over any Guns and Roses or Motley Crue. 7/10 Queen and Bowie are glam at its finest.
A pretty solid album. Killer queen is one of the those songs you hear and say, "oh this must be a queen song" The rest of the tracks sound like pretty standard classic rock. That's a good and bad thing. The songs are pretty good, but none really blow me away
I like Brighton Rock, I like Killer Queen and Brian May goes to work on this album but overall I find myself liking Queen less than I'd like to.
Inklings of things to come.
Stylistically it’s kind of all over the place.
Some good tunes! 3 stars
I didnt hate it... I mean killer queen cmon now nolan
Hey look I've found a Queen album that's kind of OK! Two things I liked: Brian May can sing, and She Makes Me (Stormtrooper in Stilettoes) basically invented the shoegazing genre.
Just ok for the most part. Killer Queen is unreal
There are some great tracks on Sheer Heart Attack, but it’s brought down by the sillier novelty songs. It’s still worth a listen, though. I feel like Queen are at their best on their hard rock cuts.
Overblown bombast, but then it is Queen, so that is exactly what one would expect. I bought this as a teenager a few years after it was released and still have it somewhere, but it doesn't stand either the test of time nor the development of my musical tastes. Still, the good bits are great, and for nostalgia's sake, I've bunged on an extra star!
A somewhat underwhelming entry. The low parts aren't as introspective as Queen can be, and the highs aren't quite as bombastic as they can be.
Classic badass but fun quintessential queen. First track has some wild thrash metal guitar passages. Sometimes the kitchy 50s Americana vibes reminded me of Zappa. There’s a little bit of filler on here but altogether Queen doing what they do best.
Un muy álbum de rock, con teatralidades típicas de la legendaria banda británica. Sin duda, el peak del disco es "Killer Queen", una de las mejores canciones de rock de la historia.
I agree….I like the thick, dripping guitar tracks. Besides Killer Queen, I was not impressed. I’m generous at 3S.
two queen albums in a row. at least this one is slightly more enjoyable. meh highs and profoundly low lows. fav songs: tenement funster, stone cold crazy, misfire, she makes me.
I don't think I listened intentionally enough but queen songs all sound the same
The first half is an easy 4, but it falls off quite a bit in the second half.
LP
Usual queen bombastic approach but none the worse for that. Glorious nonsense.
Top 3 Songs: 1 - Killer Queen (2) 2 - Brighton Rock (1) 3 - Now I'm Here (6)
Good early Queen. The harmonies and guitars are there even if the songs aren’t as memorable. Killer Queen still kills, though.
I like Queen's hits and some of the more popular album tracks. I find their albums to be overly bombastic and overproduced. I know, that is what a lot of people like about them, but it's what I struggle with when hearing an entire album. This isn't bad and probably deserves to be on the list, despite the fact I didn't particularly love it.
Man this song has a strong opening with Brighton Rock and its guitar solos. Baby driver was sure on to something. After that another classic with Killer Queen. However after the two opening songs I felt like the album just fizzled out a bit. It felt like preparation for their next album "A night at the Opera". All of the elements are there, the execution is just so much better on the next album
Ok. I like the songs i liked and that was kind of it for me
Better than Lynyrd Skynyrd
Not really knowing Queen (or how their sound evolved/if it evolved,) this album sounds like a hodgepodge of classic rock, operatic/Broadway musical, and psychedelic music. Brian May's guitar sound is unmistakable but there are some songs where I wonder if it's actually Freddie Mercury singing, or someone else. This must have blown some minds when it first came out.
Toujours rocambolesque et grandiloquent, comme tous les albums de Queen, avec les personnages archétypaux. Un bon moment!
Banco. 7.5 /10
Nos amis du groupe Queen ont tout réussi sur cet album, sauf de faire que je m'en souvienne. Je me joins donc pour cette fois à eltrapeze et à sa critique acerbe.
Queen s'impose vraiment dans ce générateur comme l'une des têtes d'affiches du surcôté rock, genre on le rapelle dominé outrageusement par les Rolling Stones.
Yet another blast from the past!
Not my favorite version of Queens sound
but more rock oriented than they normally are but the best songs of theirs aren't here
”Sheer Heart Attack" is the third studio album by the legendary British rock band Queen, released in 1974. The album opens with the upbeat and infectious "Brighton Rock," which features Brian May's iconic guitar solo. This track is followed by the hard-hitting "Killer Queen," which became one of Queen's biggest hits and remains a staple of classic rock radio. Other standout tracks on the album include the hard-rocking "Stone Cold Crazy," which features frenzied guitar work and pounding drums, as well as the anthemic "Now I'm Here," which boasts a memorable guitar riff and Freddie Mercury's powerful vocals. One thing that Queen have going for them on this album is the variety of musical styles on display. From the glam-rock of "Killer Queen" to the hard-rock of "Stone Cold Crazy" and the theatrical balladry of "Lily of the Valley," Queen proves that they can excel in many genres. The album does features some of Queen's most experimental work, including the avant-garde "Flick of the Wrist" and the progressive rock epic "In the Lap of the Gods... Revisited." These tracks showcase the band's willingness to push boundaries and explore new sounds, something that would actually become a hallmark of their later work. Overall its mix of catchy hooks, powerful vocals, and intricate instrumentation that deserves a listen if you like rock music. Close to a 4 this one.
по музыке понятно, что это Queen, но не могу сказать, что это в меня сильно попало я вряд ли вернусь переслушать это возможно, это не самый яркий альбом Queen 3+
Энергетика конечно бешеная, но в остальном либо у меня ожиданий много было, либо ещё что-то, но даже 4 поставить не смогу. 3+. Вроде как всё и вкусно, но прям чего-то не хватило. Надеюсь мне пояснят, что я мог не понять и почему это 4етверо4ка минимум, потому что вроде как и хочется ее поставить, но не можется...
Not bad.
They have got their big joyful sound minted here, and the record’s never less than entertaining, but there are maybe only 2-3 eternal foot-lifters here, KQ included.
Starting to sound like the classic Queen. Killer Queen is great, of course, and you can hear the origins of Bohemian Rhapsody in Flick of the Wrist/Lily of the Valley. The rest is OK
Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yeah, some great riffs and stellar vocals Favourite song: Track 2 - Killer Queen
Sounds like queen.
Quite melodic with beautiful sounds - especially from Brian May's screaming guitar and Fredies iconic voice. You know you're listening to early Queen, with their incredible sound and brilliant chord progressions. It's a very good record, but not quite as good, for me, as their next one, "A Night at the Opera".
This album had some songs that I think I genuinely like more than a lot of the big Queen hits, but they're also kind of more generic "classic rock" tracks. All in all I liked it but it was a bit hit-or-miss for me.
Loved the music and all the instruments used in the album. Not necessarily one I could listen to on repeat.
p328. 1974. 3 stars. Classy but arch early 70s rock. Underneath the shiny chrome production there is a decent rock band trying to get out. A couple of stand out tunes, but too much filler to repay repeated listens. Brian May seems like quite a good guitarist.
Hard hitting glam rock from Queen. Personally prefer this to the more progressive albums. Quite ok.
More metal than I was expecting. Honestly, surprisingly annoying, very guitar forward and doesn’t really highlight Freddy’s incredible vocal range.
Always original, but not my favorite from Queen.
Alright, Sheer Heart Attack. Let me just start by saying that this album is no A Day at the Opera or News of the World, but it's definitely worth a listen if you want to understand where Queen found their sound before they became... well Queen. The album kicks off with the track "Brighton Rock," which is like a musical rollercoaster that takes you on a wild ride through Freddie Mercury's incredible vocal range and Brian May's electrifying guitar solos. And let's not forget about "Killer Queen," which is a classic Queen hit that showcases the band's pop sensibilities and Mercury's flamboyant lyrics. But let's be real, not every track on this album is a banger. "Dear Friends" sounds like a lullaby for insomniacs, for instance. However, there are still some hidden gems like "Bring Back That Leroy Brown", which - let's face it - is catchy as hell, and "Stone Cold Crazy," which foreshadows the heavier sound that Queen would explore on later albums. All in all, Sheer Heart Attack may not be Queen's magnum opus, but it's still a solid album that showcases the band's talent and innovation. So, if you're a fan of Queen or just looking to explore some classic rock, give this one a spin. It may not get you to "Bohemian Rhapsody" levels of ecstasy, but it'll definitely, in one way or another, get you there.
Enjoyable.
Decent queen album strong start but declined somewhat. Nearly a 4 but not quite
Strong 3, enjoyable development of their style
quite Queen. Sometimes I think it is great, then it just drifts off into too much.
Liked the hits, rest was Meh.
Like 3 unbelievably great songs and the rest is only ok.
This album is definitely the birthplace of the Queen that everyone knows and loves. They're still not all the way to that "full Queen experience" point, but you can definitely hear the hints of what they would become, especially on the hit track "Killer Queen". I would say they're still playing around heavily with their sound at this point, though. Regardless, this album is definitely the jumping off point, soundwise, for their biggest and most well known songs. Speaking of the album's sound, it's really got a bit of everything: glam music and lyrics, those excellent Freddie vocal harmonies, and some slightly off kilter, fun vocalizations and instrumentations. There's a wide variety of music here, too, but it all sounds unapologetically like Queen. This isn't my favorite Queen album, but it's a great lead in to their iconic sound.
I'm not a big Queen fan, so this was new to me. They were all pretty solid from the get-go.
The entire time I'm listening to this, I'm thinking, "why does this sound like some sort of MetallicaXBoston mashup. Call it pop metal? I do not know what to make of it. I know Queen's hit songs. I had a short period in high school where I really listened to their hits multiple times a day. I think I knew Killer Queen. Back then, my focus was mainly on Freddy Mercury's pipes. Everyone knows he has them. Maybe I either wasn't listening to the right songs, or just wasn't listening at all. Brian May's guitar gave this album a hard rock edge to it that was very much appreciated. The little delay on the first song caught my ear. Now I'm Here and Misfire were a couple other favorites that I thought showed him off. By the end, it felt like everyone in the band was really doing something. It came to me while listening, but my old guitar teacher told me all members of Queen were inducted into the Song Writing Hall of Fame individually, so I shouldn't be surprised by the talent. Some songs were less memorable than others. I thought Bring Back That Leroy Brown was a show tune, and was somewhat telling of them writing a rock opera. I then learned said opera came out a year later. If this was evident on earlier Queen, I apologize for my naivety. May or may not revisit. It's snowing in New York.
Well here's the first Queen album I've ever listened to. Brian May can shred. Freddie Mercury can sing. My favorite part is on "Now I'm Here" when Freddie Says "now I'm here" then switches to the right channel and says "now I'm here" then switches again and says "now I'm there" then switches again and says "now I'm there". A real highlight. In all seriousness I think the reason why I never got into Queen is because it's too much like musical theater, a theme I'm likely to repeat several more times in my reviews. It just feels so dramatized. Rehearsed. Does that make sense? Additionally, I think it's a little too "fun" for my liking. It's like I'm watching clowns throw pies at each other to the tune of screaming guitar solos and epic drum hits. Again, great musicianship from everyone. Just don't really get all of the constant vocal harmonization and modulation. It was very cool hearing proto-Metallica on "Stone Cold Crazy" (which they later covered!) and I enjoyed "She Makes Me (Stormtrooper In Stilettos)" because it reminded me of some other band that I can't place at the moment but see that's just it. The only tracks I enjoyed reminded me of something else. Another one that is understandably on this list but one that I personally didn't really vibe with. I didn't NOT like it. It just isn't my go-to sound.
Killer Queen alone is worth three stars, so that’s your starting point. The A Cappella version of Bring Back That Leroy Brown puts their voices and harmonies on full display and was really fun. The rest of the album wasn’t particularly enjoyable listening for me, but my view of their talent sure went up a notch. I guess I never knew how overtly theatrical their sound was; so many of these songs sound like show tunes. Okay, not Stone Cold Crazy, but certainly Now I’m Here. I guess that all makes sense, because their next album would have the all-time quintessential rock opera Bohemian Rhapsody. I’m not a huge Queen fan, but the next two albums after this one were ones that all my friends owned in the 70s and played over and over again. This one is interesting as a prequel. And of course for Killer Queen. By the way it took me about 20 years to realize that the first line of Killer Queen is a reference to a champagne. And only because I saw it in a store and said it out loud.
I have never—with the exception of some greatest hits compilations my childhood friend Brendan Vinnicombe used to play incessantly in his Mom’s SUV—listened to a Queen record. This might have something to do with my upbringing. My Dad—never the prog rock fan—used to decry the band as being “too theatrical” and “operatic.” He preferred his Grateful Dead, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, and the likes. I followed suit. Never to listen to Queen outside of Brendan’s Mom’s SUV or otherwise in the public sphere of film, radio, and advertising. Before today I couldn’t have told you what years the band was even active or how many albums their wealth of hit songs were spread across. I was quite surprised to discover Queen was experiencing success this early in the 1970s, and that they would become one of the few 1970s acts that would find success in the 1980s. What strikes me most about Sheer Heart Attack is the musicianship. This is just excellent. Weird. Powerful. Maybe it reminds me of the Doors the way they seamlessly incorporate non-rock elements into a pure rock sound, but in an entirely different way. I’m blown away by May’s extended guitar soloing in “Brighton Rock” and by the experimental recording techniques used on Mercury’s voice and all instruments throughout. I’m also surprised and impressed to find songwriting credits here given to each of the four band members, together and individually and to read that often they switched instruments in the studio. This is a very solid album, with some essential cuts and, as I’m reading, was the first Queen album to really cement the band’s direction going forward. But, as a cohesive album, I’m not sure it totally succeeds. It just doesn’t do enough to be that weird or break new ground. It may be a step forward for Queen but, with the exception of “Killer Queen,” the step feels small. In spite of its strengths, I find the album’s eccentric allure to be not that unique in a year (1974) that also saw the release of King Crimson’s Red, Bowie’s Diamond Dogs, Eno’s Here Come the Warm Jets, Supertramp’s Crime of the Century, and so on. I think this album fits quite neatly into the weird theatricalities of British Glam Rock of the day. Irregardless of the timeless, larger-than-life phenomenon Queen would someday grow into, in 1974, Sheer Heart Attack just fills out the margins of an already vibrant scene. And with the exception of a few cuts off this Queen record (namely, the first two, “Now I’m Here,” and “Stone Cold Crazy”), there isn’t much calling me back to listen to this record in full. Of course Queen is a hugely influential, important act with incredible musicians/songwriters and quite possibly the greatest front person of all time in Mercury. But otherwise, I kind of agree with my Dad. I don’t think this is all that’s cracked up to be as far as albums go and if I’m listening to a Glam/Prog rock band from England who released an influential album in 1974, I’m listening to Supertramp 6 times out of 10. 3 times out of 10, I’m listening to Eno. And I’ll save that last time for King Crimson. But I’d certainly save a shout out for “Killer Queen.” And I look forward to uncovering some other Queen albums elsewhere in this list.
OK - one Killer tune, and one or two other bangers. The rest of it is pretty standard 70s hard rockin - not bad, not amaze
I really don't like to listen to Queen. That is, their greatest hits (that's all I really know). I acknowledge they've got talent, but their sound/style irks me most of the time. Sometimes a band's greatest hits don't tell the whole story, so I was hoping this early Queen album might reveal another side of Queen that I could enjoy. I had high hopes hearing Brighton Rocks and Killer Queen doesn't bother me quite like some of their other songs. But it didn't take long for me to realize that Queen leaves a pretty honest first impression. No surprises here for me really. I did like a couple of tracks (Stone Cold Crazy, She Makes Me), but I'm not going to listen to this again. It's pretty much the same Queen I already know with less catchy, less memorable tunes. And they're always going to sound like Queen.
Queen’s best songs are among the best I’ve ever heard from any band. But I’m still waiting to hear an album that’s solid all the way through. This one charges out of the gate and the first five songs are fantastic. No one else has a sound like Killer Queen and Flick of the Wrist. Two songs I could hear at any time in any mood. The second half of the album doesn’t hang with the first, unfortunately. Stone Cold Crazy is great, but the rest are unremarkable. The album definitely belongs on the list. Just wish it were more consistent all the way through. 1 = bad 2 = average 3 = good 4 = great 5 = outstanding
Queen's third record is a pretty solid one. Has some very strong songs, but also some of their weakest songs. They can definitely write impressive compositions, their vocals taking the spotlight most often. And Brian May's guitar playing is fantastic. Key tracks: Brighton Rock, Killer Queen, Tenement Funster, Flick Of The Wrist, Lily Of The Valley, Now I'm Here, Stone Cold Crazy, In The Lap Of The Gods... Revisited 7 out of 10
It was alright, but a little silly. I think it’s the worst Queen album on this list. Favorite song: “Killer Queen”.
Not bad probably one of their better albums
Levy ei ole aivan tasalaatuinen - mukana pari tylsempää tai ärsyttävämpää biisiä - mutta kyllähän tätä ihan mielellään kuuntelee. Äidilläni oli useita Queenin levyjä lapsuudenkodissani, ja niitä paljon kuuntelin. Eli nostalgia-arvoa bändillä, joskaan ei tällä levyllä.
Several very fun and dramatic songs on a not-so-cohesive album with quite a few filler/so-so songs. In other words, a Queen album! They were more of a singles/best-of band on the whole. But, you have to appreciate their flare for drama and of course, the fact that they achieved mainstream success as LGBTQ artists when that wasn't the norm. Overall, I would not go out of my way to listen to this an album, but it has some banging tracks.
Killer queen
Really proves that Queen are an amazing ‘Greatest Hits’ band, especially as this album falls apart at the end.
Queen are such a unique band. I liked this album, though really not many hits on it. The standouts are solid songs but aside from that I don't think I'd spend much time listening to the other tracks, so I don't think I'd come back to this one as a record to listen to all the way through. Still solid though. Standout Tracks: Brighton Rock, Killer Queen, Now I'm Here, Stone Cold Crazy, Misfire, She Makes Me (Stormtrooper in Stilettos)
A lot of irritating vocals but overall reasonable music.
that classic operatic, eclectic Queen sound. some legendary moments, but largely fodder for high school theater types to play at their parties
Glorious glam solos and echoing glam vocals. Multi-sectional, opera-like, theatrical rock. So beautiful, sometimes soaring, sometimes playful. The common metaphor employed is that we're in the hands of God (the gods), but not with Queen. It's the lap, not the hands.
Ok so it's Queen and I love Queen but I've not really concentrated on their early stuff much apart from the hits. It's flamboyant and Glam and theatrical paving the way for A Night at the Opera but there's not much cohesion- it's a bit bitty if you know what I mean?
Freddie carries
Listens: 2 Enjoyed: yeah Starts better than it ends. Some great tracks but not a particularly great album Woulda been a 3.5
Yeah, good. Better than the Beatles, that’s for sure.
good but the opener and closer we’re kinda meh which are like the most important. highlights: Killer Queen and in the lap of the gods (og not reprise)
Muutama oikein hyvä biisi ja osa ei jaksanut suuremmin kovettaa. Silti perushyvä ja helppo heittää soimaan vielä uudestaan.
Kyllä Queen on enemmän ns. hittibändi ja paljon biiseistä tuntuu täytteeltä levyltä toiselle. Mieluummin greatest hitsit pyörimään ja niiden ansiosta bändi onkin top tieriä kaikesta huolimatta. Tää levy kuitenkin kokonaisuudessaan kuunneltava ja sekä Killer Queen että Stone Cold Crazy varsinkin nostaa levyn tason kolmoseen
Starting to sound like the classic Queen. Killer Queen is great, of course, and you can hear the origins of Bohemian Rhapsody in Flick of the Wrist/Lily of the Valley. The rest is OK
Good, but not great album. Dabbling with different songwriters brings a bit of diversity but perhaps at the expense of quality.
Wow, most of these songs are completely unfamiliar to me. Very enjoyable!
Killer Queen is great, and Stone Cold Crazy stands out. However, the album is just pretty good. It's not as good as Night At The Opera.
Okay
This was a fun one! Brighton Rock was a good little noodle. The flow between the albums was great and the range was awesome, but glam rock isn't really my cup of tea.
fairly good.
While Queen has a great sound going on this album, I don't think they ever got beyond the impressive 1-2 punch that was "Brighton Rock" and "Killer Queen". "In the Lap of the Gods" and "Misfire" were other stand out tracks for me, but the album lacked cohesion and anything as memorable as "Killer Queen". If I could give half stars, this would be a 3.5 for me.
Somewhat over-the-top, like the coked-out orgy in the cover photo.
Didn’t move it.
4/13, 31%
3 Don’t want to listen on a headphone.
Playing was great so I wanted to like more. Songs just felt like (good!) incomplete snippets so I didn’t know when one ended and the next started…a bit too incomplete feeling.
Me encanta escuchar discos de mi año de nacimiento! Es un disco que cambia bastante de estilos, mucho del rock lírico característico de ellos, algunos coritos al mejor estilo The Beach Boys, momentos muy heavies y hasta un ragtime en "Bring Back that Leroy Brown". Pero este disco por algo los consagra al estrellato, y seguramente el punto principal sea "Killer Queen".

great sound and very much of it's time.
3.8
If I listened to this without knowing the artist, I’d say it was someone making a parody of a Queen album. Still not bad though.
It’s Queen.
It's alright, probably not their best album but interesting to see an early one
Filler, Queen.
sweaty cover, sweaty record
Good album, but much of it seemed very forgettable. Aside from songs like, Killer Queen and In the Lap of the Gods, I don't think I could name a single tune from this album. Best Songs: Killer Queen, In the Lap of the Gods Worst Songs: Bring Back that Leroy Brown
It’s dated. Sounds a bit like it’s from the 60s.
Decent because it’s queen
Sounds like Queen, but not the ‘best’ Queen
I'm a republican, in terms of anti-monarchistic sensibilities and not Trumpian nutjobbery about George Soros putting microchips in vaccines so as to make everyone Mexican. As a poor, grubby British kid, I couldn't fathom the logic of such ridiculous privilege falling onto such inadequates, and if anything my contempt for the monarchy has strengthened, has become as rigid as bone. Somewhere right now, Prince Edward is sitting down, thinking he's inevitably better than you. With that thought, you're seething. As a 2000-era teenager into 70s punk, I didn't rate Queen either. Not to the same extent, but more a surly resentment at the overarching position Queen had across the airwaves: lazy sound editors plomping Don't Stop Me Now or We Are the Champions over footage of sport I cared naught about only reduced the band to the level of soundbite. I couldn't tell if it were possible to like Queen unironically, and I still can't. Can anyone really have Bohemian Rhapsody as their favourite song? Isn't it just buried under the baggage of a million impressions? Anyway, Bohemian Rhapsody is not on this. But what is on this? Some stuff of interest, some stuff not. Stone Cold Crazy successfully presages thrash metal, but any such premonition of thrash metal really would just be a curio. And it's that word "curio" that encapsulates my wariness for Queen. We have here an album comprised entirely of novelty songs, an odd result for such a bunch of noted brainboxes (that said, it is rather in keeping with Freddie's theatricality). Now, you may defend Queen as the Fortnum and Mason of novelty bands, but that's a highly loaded superlative, like tallest dwarf or most literate policeman. Yes, if you want a tribute band at a student ball, a Queen sort is clearly the best option, but who would kick back of an evening and unwind to this with a glass of claret? There are three Queen albums on the list, so I'll save some of my Queen musings for later. But if you want the worst example of a band soldiering on after the lead singer's death, it's not the Doors. After Freddie's passing, the rest of the band recruited Paul Rodgers as Freddie's replacement. It's akin to following Queen Elizabeth with Prince Andrew.
Queen's a great band, but we don't need to put all of their albums on this list. This one is okay in the grand scheme of things.
Killer Queen a classic probably the only stand out tune on this album for me
Decent sound. Unique and creative. Just personally not a huge fan of Queen. But an objectively good sound
Aight
Bien.
Never listened myself before. Rick anthem opera.
Está "Killer Queen" y tiene bastante ritmo, pero los discos de Queen así al completo no me suelen convencer.
6/10 Best Song - Killer Queen
Classic rock is classic, and though Killer Queen is a great song, the rest of the album seems to not yet be as regal as this band would become. Musicality is amazing, however.
Liked it but wasn’t blown away or anything
More glam and heavy than I was expecting. I'd only listened to Queen's later albums in full before and had only heard a few tracks off this previously. I don't think that they hit their stride until the next album but this lays down so pretty nice groundwork for what was to come
Queen always grabs you with the melody and vocals, then a secret earthquake comes rumbles through Brian May’s guitar. This was ok, I only knew Killer Queen and I’d need another listen for anything else to stick
The popular conception of this band over time has become more 'Freddie Mercury and the Queens' than just 'Queen.' This album is a good reminder of how integral Brian May and co. were to making the band's catchy formula work, supporting Freddie's sky-high vocal range with solid backing instrumentals that excel in their own regard. Not every track here is a winner (outside of 'We Are the Champions,' I don't think this band has done well at downtempo tracks, with most being snoozers), but those that shine do so brightly and are memorable to a fault. I will die on the hill that 'Killer Queen' is the best track this band has made, the subtle touch of phaser on the chorus vox is a sign of a band that knows exactly how to make interesting, fun music.
rocking and a rolling
This record continues the overall musical motif for which Queen had become known. Orchestral arrangements, falsetto singing, “royal” subject matter. Not every song is a hit, but the hits do hit well. I am giving this one an extra star exclusively for Brian May’s guitar work, which is once again masterful.
Mixture of Glam Rock and Hard Rock. Lap of the Gods sounds like a Beach Boys song on acid.
Tout un band qui sait jouer ensemble. Heureuse découverte pour moi, hors des sentiers habituels de ce groupe classique.
A significant departure as far as Queen's sound goes, and yet it presents a wholy uninspired and unremarkable collection of tracks. Nothing much to say about it, not great not terrible, the definition of average
High 3. Certainly top 5 Queen album but, maybe not top 3.
i thought i had listened to a lot of queen, but literally had not heard any songs on this album but one. it's okay, not their best. definitely early work.
A couple rock gems with the tight harmonies that define Queen and (now) classic Brian May guitar sonics. But overall too many songs that sound like show tunes or novelties.
I like Queen's greatest hits a lot. But their other stuff just doesn't do it for me. Killer Queen is good enough to bump up the album for me.
3.5
Standout tracks: Brighton Rock Killer Queen Stone Cold Crazy
Faster-paced songs are very good, struggles to be consistent with the slower ballads.
I own this already but had forgotten that it is far more rockin' than their later work. Far better in my opinion.
First song on the album was p good
I thought it was ok. Not their best album by a long shot.
pretty good, like his voice and the energy, album doesn't flow well but each song is good.
Great fun! Not full of smash hits, but plenty to enjoy.
Le lien spoty est un remaster 2011 et j'ai fait le saut qque fois, c'est très bright ou c'est moi? J'ai pas pu m'empêcher de penser à Guy a lepage dans in the lap of the gods😅 C'est Queen, je connaisais que 2 tounes au plus sur cet album. Ça a le mérite de bouger pas mal harmoniquement mais ça va souvent aux même places. Ya plein de bonnes affaires et plein d'affaires qui me gosse😂 Mention spéciale au boutte de contrebasse!
C’est la première fois que j’écoute ce disque en entier. C’est pas mal ce que Queen a fait de plus rock. Stone cold crazy a toujours été ma toune favorite de Queen. Brian May est vraiment solide sur cet album.
Fun, lots of guitar.
This is a very mediocre album to me. I just am not much of a Queen fan. It is certainly a listenable album but not necessarily one I'll come back to. It didn't have any bad tracks but certainly some mid tracks. Killer Queen is a fantastic song and obviously the best one on the album.
Great lyrics and guitar solos.
Honestly, Killer Queen is a great song but I wasn't crazy about the rest of the album. It wasn't bad by any means but there are plenty of other Queen albums I'd go back to before this one.
Really good, but not their best.
Queen is notable for being a singles band. The singles, Killer Queen, Brighton Rock, and the album's namesake are fantastic spectacles of songwriting that stand on their own for years to come. For the rest of the album, it's pretty good! Not nearly as great but I enjoyed the listen for the most part. It's a fun, hard-rockin' album that's simply here for a good time.
Die erste hälfte war sogar ganz in ordnung, aber spätestens in der mitte fing es dann an, dass diese bestimmte energie, die queen mitbringt, sehr nervtötend wird. Spätestens die reihe an kürzeren songs mit den ständigen sprach harmonien gaben mir dann etwas den rest zur bestätigung meiner vorurteile. Einzelne songs machen aber schon durchaus was her. 6/10
Wenn sie dieses verspielte Queen-Ding machen klingen sie schnell ziemlich kindisch und affig. Die besten Stellen sind hier die, die sich in richtung Prog und Thrash Metal (?) bewegen, vielleicht gerade weil sie *nicht* nach Radio-Queen klingen. Ich würde lügen wenn ich sagen würde ich hatte überhaupt keinen Spaß mit dem Teil.
also folgendes ich hab wirklich versucht unvoreingenommen ranzugehen und ich muss sagen es ist "ok" also ne 3 (hehe). Ich war überrascht wie vielfältig das album so ist und teilweise auch wie rough. es hat ja mitunter wirklich schon sehr geile heavy riffs - wie zb der anfang von stone cold crazy. Aber sobald die galileo figaro stimme dann kommt gehts mir wieder aufn sack, vorallem die hohen gitarren soli sind einfach für mich generell nicht gut gealtert in >rock musik<. Diese quietsche nummer "bring back that leroy brown" auch komplette musical scheiße. Dann aber wieder "she makes me" was ne richtig schöne ruhige nummer ist, wo ich auch nicht direkt auf queen getippt hätte, das ist ja fast schon velvet underground style. Unterm strich viele coole, viele egale und viele nervige momente deswegen ne 3. (so wie ich gelesen hab ist das aber auch so das roughste von denen was mir jetzt eher bedingt bock auf den rest der diskografie macht)
1974. Killer Queen, Flick of The Wrist
6/10
3/5 good album but not enough to buy.
A bit of a mixed bag. Queen has always been a singles band to me, not meaning that as any shade (cos their singles are great). A few hits, but the songs that flow together do so in such a jumpy, weird way that it's somewhere between glam camp and a poorly-run stage show. Also, if Freddie Mercury is your lead vocalist, you let Freddie Mercury do lead vocals. No one else. Favorite tracks: "Stone Cold Crazy", "Dear Friends", "Killer Queen", "In The Lap Of the Gods (Revisited)"
Good music.
Truly the only not-totally-positive Queen experience I can remember. It just doesn't feel fully realized? Like the musicality is there and some songs are great (Killer Queen most notably), but I can't get behind the whole thing.
Hyvää queeniä. En ollu aiemmin kuullu tältä levyltä varmaan yhtään biisiä aiemmin, mutta menee kyllä jatkoon.
Muutama tykki biisi ja salee Queenin paras levy
Expected to like this more than I did. Granted it all was fine and I didn't dislike anything, but a lot of the tracks were just ok to me. Killer Queen rules though.
Solid Queen album. Already has that rock-opera sound. Not incredibly outstanding compared to other Queen records.
Yup. That was Queen.
Not my favorite Queen album, but still good.
As innovative and quirky Queen is, nothing beyond the hits caught my attention on this one. Killer Queen and Stone Cold Crazy are awesome but some of the others got a little too whispy for my taste when I listen to Queen I'm more on the rock side than the roll side but again, doesn't make it a bad album, just not one of my favs.
This is pretty decent, has some really good songs on it too Now I’m Here and Stone Cold Crazy are brilliant rock songs in themselves An easy and fair ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Cool hard rock with some psych elements (swear those Freddie screams were inspiration for Pink Floyd's The Wall) but nothing that blew me out the water Already Saved: Killer Queen Saved After Listening: Flick Of The Wrist*, Now I'm Here
I like Queen but probably wouldnt listen again.
Quuen
3.5 | Creo que mi opinión no va a ser la más popular, pero durante mucho tiempo intenté adentrarme en Queen como discografía y siempre siempre caigo en el mismo tope... Sus discos completos como albumes en general no me cuadran. Jamás quitaría la importancia o calidad de muchísima de su música, pero siempre se me ha hecho una banda de éxitos y sencillos (muchísimos y excelentes) y muchas canciones que se sienten medio de paja; quizá por esa democracia de terminar con canciones que son escritas por cada miembro y terminando con albumes que se sienten un poco sin cohesión. Killer Queen, Stone Cold Crazy, Flick of the Wrist... Excelentes canciones, pero el disco completo sigue sin agarrarme completo como para decir que con gusto lo vuelvo a poner todo. ¿Es un álbum que deberían escuchar todos? No estoy seguro... Estoy seguro que todos DEBEN escuchar mucho Queen y entender su importancia. Mi problema es que quizá no se DEBA escuchar la discografía de Queen, sino un disco (o varios) de éxitos.
De este disco sólo conocía Stone Cold Crazy y Killer Queen, que en mi opinión es una canción que representa muy bien la esencia de Queen. Fue interesante escuchar estas canciones que son muy del principio de la carrera del grupo, pero no fui tan fa del álbum en sí.
Good album great theatrics
she makes me is really nice. freddie is such a good singer.
Although I have heard many tracks from Queen, "Killer Queen" might be the only track I was familiar with prior to listening to this album. This album is a reminder that Brian May (lead guitar) is worth listening to. With some of the vocals given to others besides Mercury and allowing for solo work from May, this album has music that is not easily identified as music from Queen (e.g. "Tenement Funster"). I would be tempted to skip the last two tracks of this album, but they don't reduce my rating below 3 stars. No new favorites from this album, but I enjoyed listening.
Leuke band, en ook leuke liedjes zoals Killer Queen. Maar de rest ging toch wat aan me voorbij.
Hier en daar vliegen de heren een beetje uit de bocht, maar over all vind ik dit best leuk.
Hier wird groß gedacht: Rock Oper ist das Stichwort. Die Songs gehen nach „Killer Queen“ für eine Weile nahtlos ineinander über und dieser Part ist auch die große herausragende Stärke des Albums, was unter anderem daran liegen kann, dass hier der Gesang nicht ausschließlich von Mercury sondern auch von Taylor („Tenement Funster“) sowie später in „She Makes Me (Stormtrooper in Stilettos)“ von May beigesteuert wird. Ganz klar wird hier eine Menge Potenzial angedeutet, aber ehe sie ihre Grenzen zu sprengen beginnen, sind Queen ein recht mitreißendes, aber doch eindimensionales Rock Outfit. Gimme a good guitar and I‘ll give 3.3
Joah, Queen: bin ich jetzt kein Experte für, aber auf dem Album haben sie langsam ihren Sound gefunden, kann das sein? Satter Hardrock, Freddies Powermoves, endlich auch in Richtung schrill und Operette (ich bin von sowas ja eigentlich gar kein Fan, aber …) Werd ich mir wahrscheinlich nicht mehr so oft anhören, aber: gefällt schon. Favourite Song: In The Lap Of The Gods. 3.4
One of my favourite Queen songs on this album - Brighton Rock and I am a Queen fan to. Great album. 3 stars
Un bon albu. Rock avecdes classiquemais qui ne m’a pas jeter par terre. 3.75
fun
Bit of it all, got the slow ballads, the fast rock, a lullaby, Leroy Brown is a ragtime tune, and some rock jams; Stone Cold Crazy is a great high-tempo tune which is then followed by a lullaby. Album really bounces back and forth with the styles and they have a lot of different ideas going on. Still it's all Queen so it works.
Fun listen. Queen never quite hits home perfectly with me, but you can't deny that this is a solid album with some really fun tracks.
Brighton Rock is a guitar masterpiece
Not much in typical Queen music I’m familiar with so I only enjoyed a few songs. Bring back Leroy brown and tenement funster were my favorite.
Enjoyed it, nice queen album you can instantly hear it’s them
Certainly not the greatest album by Queen, in my opinion, but a solid guitar-heavy record that brought the band to popularity in the USA. You can really tell the band stretched themselves to make this a very "in your face" and technically complex album. Mercury's range really stays in the upper register throughout the majority of this record, but most the studio tracks will never hold up sonically to the live renditions.
Some ok songs, musical theater, Proto punk drug infused rambling
Eh
Super fun. Sexy. Sassy. Pumping guitar solos. Some weaker tracks in there let’s it down but it sure passes the time eh???
Good songs, though they tend to overdo the theatrics.
Queen para empezar, casi nada.
This record is the most consistent fun I've had with a Queen record. They've always been a bit of a singles band for me, so Sheer Heart Attack is a nice surprise. The arrangements are more complex and explosive than their older material, and doesn't suffer from some of the more egregious experimentation of their 80s material. Fav Tracks: Brighton Rock, Killer Queen and Bring Back That Leroy Brown.
This was a really varied and fun album that bridges Queen's glam rock/live band chops and some inventive studio trickery. I was taken aback when someone other than Freddie Mercury started singing on "Tenement Funster"! Some of the transitions are pretty remarkable. While a few songs are a little indulgent, I enjoyed the overall experience of this record. Rating 3.5/5 Favourite tracks: "Killer Queen", "Now I'm Here", "She Makes Me"
It’s Queen, it’s pop/rock, it’s non offensive & pleasantly welcoming...but it’s safe and run o’the mill. In other words a bit boring. You can drive around in your car listening to it and by the time the last track finishes you could be fooled into believing you just listened to one very long song instead of the full 13 or so on the album. They all kinda sound alike and none really stand out. I’m giving it a rather bland 3 stars.
Never heard this one but seems like a transitional album for them, moving on from their prog roots (e.g. "Ogre Battle" from their previous record) to big arena rock and their anthemic destiny. The vocal harmonies really do it for me. Four voices in concise, majestic arrangements, fit into a compressed metal tube. The Queen sound is born. Brian May seems to be enjoying playing around with heavy delay, and the guitar solos sound rad repeating onto itself and creating percussion. For the first time realizing Queen probably had a big influence on 80s glam rock. I bet Eddie Van Halen loved Brian May. Bigger picture question - when is arrogance welcome in music? People like Freddie Mercury and Mick Jagger (and even Boston bad boy Steven Tyler) can strut and pomp all over a stage and I love it. Their inflated egos can blow up a stadium and it's fantastic. But why is it such a turn off when a Johnny Rotten or a Bono put their arrogance on display? Maybe it's an authenticity thing. Anyhow, in the end, this album is the soundtrack to a Broadway musical about an elf queen (chaotic good) and a lightning dragon. B
Enjoyed this more than I thought I would. Not bad.
I thought I had listened to this album. Guess not! Knew only the two hit singles (Killer Queen, Now I'm Here).
I know it was Queen but I only really liked the commercial tracks. Consequently ***
Too complex for me, I just like Killer Queen
Not classic queen yet
Enjoyed it. It was fun.
Bang average
Gives a really good feel of them right on the edge of superstardom... but not my favorite.
Queen was my favourite group when I was in High School. They certainly had style and flair, plus some pretty darned good musicmanship and of course the inimitable Freddie.
Misfire was a track I never heard before that I liked. But please no more Queen.
Never been the biggest fan of Queen, but it was interesting to hear how their operatic influences developed in the early years. top 3 Killer Queen, Flick of the Wrist, Lily of the Valley
Classic Queen
Didn't enjoy this as much as I expected to. Quite a few samey ones.. and weird ones that I wasn't into. Was a bit much at times - but I know that is Queen
Decent.
Pretty good. One of the better Queen albums as a whole. 7/10
Killer Queen is clearly the standout, but the album has enough interesting bites to keep it interesting.
Pretty good, not something I’d likely play again other than the hits. 3,5
not the best Queen album but still good
Obviously everyone knows the classic Queen songs, but the songs on this album surprised me quite a bit. Queen with Guitar solos and constant drumming was a pleasant change from Bohemian Rhapsody.
I don’t think I’ve heard this album before. The radio plays Queen way to much but was good to hear some different Queen songs
great sound but definitely not queen's best outside killer queen
Pretty good, but later Queen albums are better
Eh s' kay
7/10 склоняющееся к 6
A bit uneven. Some Killer and some filler. A thirteen track album shouldn't have three sub-2 minute tracks. Best track: Killer Queen
Solid but still feels like they’re finding their footing. Killer Queen is a top 10 track tho
Definitely some of the rawest Queen tracks I've ever heard and prob the best moments of this style of glam rock. Still can't get as enthusiastic about the record's theatrical flourishes as it sounds like the band is performing them but there are some great riffs and I love riffs. Also "Stone Cold Crazy" is thrash as hell and goes extremely hard.
This album isn't very good. 2.
Not for me
starts strong and then immediately falls off a cliff
Against all odds this kinda got me back by the time it ended, but holy shit when Queen isn't good they're ass
I just have no patience for queen
Vill vara tydlig med att jag inte sätter ett lågt betyg för att han är bög.
Inte bra! Ogillar Queens sound men kan ändå gilla. Denna var faktiskt dålig. Killer Queen lyfter albumet till en tvåa, vilken top 50 låt!
Still not ❤️-ing rock opera.
not for me really
Queen is like always repeating one line of lyrics, then a guitar solo and then some more repeating.
The best parts of this album are at the faster-paced, lyrically and sonically fun songs. The slower songs here didn't really land for me. Layered vocals help break up the flatness of the lyric-following piano. Generally enjoyable, but I wouldn't listen to any songs on their own, probably because I don't like Queen's style much. Queen's a classic. Definitely good music but ultimately not for me. Favourite song: She's a killer.
Nothing special.
