Reviews (page 12 of 14)
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
Very good album
A lot of fantastic queen classics on this one. They will always get a 5 from me
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!
I love Queen because all 4 songwriters have such different sensibilities that you’ll be jumping around through wildly different styles every album. This one is probably the most consistently hard rock of their catalogue but it’s damn good hard rock.
Some hits on this album, other songs not lead by Freddie aren’t memorable to me at all.
3.5
Pfwaaa Excellent, beaucoup d'expérimentations Préfère le début à la fin Side A est folle, avec des transitions entre morceaux
Very good album. It didn't feature a lot of Queen's most famous songs or my personal favourites, but overall the album is solid throughout. Would deserve a 4.5.
This is so much better than Night at the Opera, etc This one just kicks you in the gut and moves on without all the overblown pomp and faffing about.
Influential I’m sure, not my current taste.
Pretty good! Upbeat. Dig the vibe
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!
My favorite Queen album, under appreciated compared to the hits.
"killer queen" is still a pretty good single but overall not really all that interesting. queen isn't much of an albums band and more of a singles band, i think. they have some really good singles though, gotta give them that
Killer Queen shows how they can merge elite vocal ability, rock, and pop.
Obviously Killer Queen rips, but I also liked In The Lap Of The Gods. Overall, not hit after hit but a great sound.
Divertido de escuchar, muy teatral, tiene infinitos matices y detalles en la construcción del sonido en conjunto con las voces, me gustó mucho
This album is 51 years old and still rocks. Slit eyed girl is a bit of an eye opener but indicative of the time. The rest however is great.
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.
I liked lots of these songs more than Queen’s big hits. It had some really interesting chord progressions and song structures
Some good tracks. Love early Queen.
Not a great album and too many short poppy songs and a lack of rock credentials.
dont like
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.
Having only really heard Queen's greatest hits, which tend to be more theatrical, I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of straight rock on this album. Some pretty great guitar on tracks like Now I'm Here, Stone Cold Crazy, and Brighton Rock (although the 3 minute solo does seem a bit excessive by today's standards). 7/10
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.
More fun than I anticipated!
Not a great fan, but the sound is distinct.
I wrote the review for this days ago but didn’t save it. TBH I’m not a massive Queen fan and I wouldn’t really care if I didn’t hear this album again. It was a meh for me but wouldn’t go out of my way to listen to it again. 2/5
+ for killer queen
Gøy med litt Queen i blant
Not a fan
Queen will always be one of my favorite bands. I could listen to this all day.
7th best queen album
Brighton rock. The vocals are a little lost in the mix. A little disappointing tbh, especially since it's the opening track. The guitar is the highlight of this track, and really good. Killer queen slaps so hard. There's a reason it's so famous. This is what queen can do! Not much to say about tenement funster. It's decent, no doubt, but not special. Holy shit these transitions. Lilly of the Valley is a powerful song. Like the stereo tricks on Now I'm Here. The power from In the Lap of the Gods. Queen is so good at music. Stone Cold Crazy goes hard. It's giving Elvis but better. Idk why. Great transition once again. Dear friends is a tonal shift. Still good, just unexpected. Misfire is bright, with a nice guitar. Bring Back Leroy Brown is a silly little diddy. I'm a fan. They definitely put their brighter, sillier tracks in the latter half of the album. She Makes me slows us way down. Little love ballad over here. In the Lap of the Gods Revisited is a slower rock ballad, but quicker than the previous track. Overall, a great album. A couple weak tracks, but a really enjoyable experience. I'm feeling a solid 8.
Good album
Probably my least favourite album of Queen. One commercial track and the rest was theatrical expression and trademark Queen long intros.... and Brian May expressing every form of guitar style in his repertoire. It's not a bad album, it's just nothing memorable that would draw you to select it to play as an album, just a couple of tracks on it, that's it.
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"
Queen is one of my all time favourite bands and this album yet again does not fail. Even though this isn't one of their best albums it's still great. Queen are so unique in their sound but they honestly are incapable of making bad songs. With Freddie's stand out voice and Brian May's iconic guitar riffs, all the songs on this track are amazing. Stand out tracks: Killer Queen, Lily of the Valley
Super stereo. Great guitar tones and obviously stellar vocals. Harmony revolutionizing. Some songs were longer than they had to be without compensating for interest. Looking at the first track there. But rippin. Killer queen one of the best ever
its good..... its similar to a lot of other bands at the time.... before queen really pushed thier own sound further
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
Standout track- Brighton Rock
Really good album. Short enough that I listened twice.
Beautiful mix multiple genre album that pick all the songs are able to be different in many way but keep a great form. Guitarist fantastic, Freddy singing beautiful as always just an amazing album all around. 8/10
Parfait pour survoler l'Alsace
jeeeees reĝino
Straight up hard rock but with luscious Queen harmonies. Plus Killer Queen, which is its own thing, and a masterpiece at that.
My favourite queen record. ‚Killerqueen‘ and ‚stone cold crazy‘ are the hits for me. But the rest is great too!
Queen is possibly the most overrated and overplayed band in history
Love them so much. Always good to l’estensione to them. A classic
Good album, 4 out of 5
even better after a second listen... this will go on my vinyl wishlist
Really enjoyed this. Brighton rock was a great opener and in the lap of the gods at the end felt like a prelude to bohemian rhapsody on a later album. Enjoyed misfire and the thrash of stone cold crazy, incredible talent
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.
Really enjoyed this. Some massive sounding songs on here. I'd never consciously thought of Queen as glam rock but this was glam AF. Harder rocking than a lot of classic Queen. The cover makes me feel a bit ill though, looks like a forgotten store room in Madame Tussauds. Highlights were Brighton Rock, Killer Queen, Now I'm Here, Stone Cold Crazy
not really my vibe, dont love the ballads, songs dragged on too long
I squealed when I saw this was today’s album. The album that marks the beginning of THE Queen sound. Listened to this while chilling outside and just let it revive me from a long weekend of fun. Kept going back and forth on whether I wanted to rate it 4 or 5. Kept comparing it to Hot Space in my head, but I think it’s still a 5 but in a completely different way. Love how each song is so unique on this record.
Yes
This album is an easy 5/5. Killer Queen and Stone Cold Crazy are top 10 Queen songs.
Capital B Baroque rock. I don't know that it's clicked like this for me before with Queen. Haven't listened to an album in full since my teens! It also hit me more this time how solid the rest are as singers as well as instrumentalists. The hits are so Freddie heavy that I forget theyre basically if Kansas were all theater kids. Yeah Killer Queen is a mega hit but there's more meat on the bone thankfully, starting with that ripping opener. Flick of the Wrist foreshadowed some motifs they'd use more successfully later in Don't Stop Me Now and other hits, and Now I'm Here rocks on its own. It's hard not to admire a band that so fully owns their oddness. Stone Cold Crazy sounds like iron maiden before iron maiden, and they have the audacity to follow it with a short operatic ballad but somehow the sequencing makes total sense. The rest are no less eclectic. A couple tracks maybe I didn't need, but overall this felt like a tall glass of water after the desert of this week
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.
It's wild to me how many albums Queen released before they truly hit it big given how famous of a band they are now. This was very good and contains all of the elements of what they'd later be very popular for doing. The extended guitar parts on "Brighton Rock" were awesome. Queen is ultimately a bit too theatrical for me, but not in a funny way like Meat Loaf.
Enjoyed!
It's Queen. It's different. They pushed the boundaries. And I love it.
2 Love the classic sound but could not get into this album except for the hits.
Unfortunately falls into the “the singles are good!” trap
This is a completely different Queen from what I'm used to! - The opening act, Brighton Rock, is amazing!
I'm a classic rock guy, sure, but not a huge fan of melodic choir style of queen. Listened the whole way through though, without ever wanting to turn it off.
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
Strong start but wanes at the end
I really enjoy Queen but had never listened to this record completely through. It was quite enjoyable. The guitar riffs really pull you into a lot of these songs. Freddie finds so many ways to show off his unique vocal. Many of the songs are short which I kind of like. There's no need to be overly pretentious with a 15 minute song. They get to the point and they get there with gusto. I can see why this is considered one of their best records.
good album. will listen again.
Partly heard before Saved 5/13 Top track: Killer Queen
A few tracks with fast guitar, some excellent vocals as you'd expect but not a patch on later albums.
Great stuff. Not many bands have remained as relevant for as long as Queen. Hard to give them anything other than a 5.
It's a classic! It's difficult to listen to Freddie Mercury and not be amazed. Brian May is a monster, and gets one of the coolest guitar tones of that era(related reading: The Red Special - as the legend goes, May and his dad built that guitar out of a fireplace mantle.) Roger Taylor's playing is just delightful. I've listened to Bring Back That Leroy Brown like twenty times over the weekend, IDK how you keep that tricky of a song SO tight. It's also a great showcase of their backing vocal prowess, which is one of my favorite parts of what this band does.
Queen. Checkmate. 5/5
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!
8/10, really quite good. Some new ones I hadn't heard before. Classic Queen sound
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.
like it, 4 zvjezde
"Sheer Heart Attack" by Queen is an electrifying masterpiece that defies genre boundaries. Released in 1974, it showcases Queen's artistic evolution with a fusion of rock, glam, and opera influences. From the infectious energy of "Stone Cold Crazy" to the theatrical brilliance of "Killer Queen," each track is a sonic journey. Freddie Mercury's vocals are nothing short of transcendent, backed by Brian May's iconic guitar work. The album's dynamic range and fearless experimentation make it a timeless classic. "Sheer Heart Attack" is a testament to Queen's musical prowess and remains a must-listen for anyone seeking a diverse, genre-defying musical experience.
Can tell that they're heading towards A Night At The Opera with some of the multi layering, songs about cars & other ridiculousness. Stone Cold Crazy 🤘
Great
I'll take this over any Guns and Roses or Motley Crue. 7/10 Queen and Bowie are glam at its finest.
Ok... So that really wasn't that great. There are very good moments sprinkled about this LP, but generally I was left underwhelmed. The vibes were all over the place, most of the good tunes barely exceed a minute in length and aren't given much chance to evolve but the ones that are longer overstay their welcome with repetitiveness. Sheer Heart Attack is missing that coherence that I know Queen for. Maybe I'm just spoiled by albums like A Night at the Opera, but the mastering on this one seemed really lacking in fidelity, and the stereophonic tricks where generally just annoying. All that being said, it's still Queen. The performances are top notch. Especially the opening track, which is killer. 2/5 Favorites: Brighton Rock, Misfire Least Favorite: Bring Back that Leroy Brown
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.
An excellent example of album oriented rock and a real showcase of Queen's differing sound.
Love Queen. This is a transitional album for them -- they are moving away from their prog roots and becoming a bit more of a rock band. "Killer Queen" was huge, and "Tenement Funster" still rocks. There are several Queen albums I like more than this one, though.
I didn't discover this album via this project, but it has been a recent discovery nonetheless. I joined a vinyl subscription club during the first covid lockdown, and this was in one of my monthly bundles. I have to admit I was massively disappointed when I opened it. Queen are just so bombastic, and while I like a bunch of their songs, they're not really go-to listens. Or so I thought...! This album is fantastic, and I've listened to it a ton since then. Brighton Rock is a mental opener. It was one of those cases playing the vinyl where you immediately take it off and play it on the different speed setting because it sounds like a chipmunk singing... only to realise it was correct in the first place! So many other great songs, with lots of variation and playfulness. Big glam hits. Really catchy, great guitars and melodies. TONS of personality. I love the way the tracks merge and sit alongside each other. I particularly love the segueing of Tenement Funster into Flick of the Wrist, which then eases beautifully into Lily of the Valley. Flick of the Wrist is an absolute beast, and definite favourite on the album for me. I can't help but sing along. Killer Queen is obviously another big hit, but Now I'm Here and Misfire are other real standouts. I think this is a brilliant album. And for me it's a real left-field choice. I just think it fires on pretty much every level. As a fun aside, the actual track 'Sheer Heart Attack' didn't make it onto this album, but instead went on 'News of the World'. However, that is also a tune!
I wrote a very long review of this and it got flushed. A sonic confection. Every single penny is on the screen. Razor sharp, lyrical guitars. Almost, no definitely a flex in its own ability. No mere group of mortals could have created this. Biggest surprise: She Makes Me. An almost velveteqsue psychedelic beauty
Not totally my thing but obviously a masterpiece
A bit of a roller coaster - really quite liked it
I liked the guitar work.
Stylistically it’s kind of all over the place.
Some good tunes! 3 stars
One of my favorite Queen albums and it is very underrated.
Yeah, another album I am already very familiar with. Some of this stuff is the best Queen have ever done. But they do have better albums so I can't give a 5. Special shout out to Brian May here though.
good album ngl nice guitar parts forgot I liked queen music
It's Queen. 5. Duh.
Enjoyed absolutely. A magnificent listen, bumpy and bouncy. Solid guitar work. 4
Classic, good
Didn't hit at all for me
I didnt hate it... I mean killer queen cmon now nolan
Unequivocally singular. Peculiarly unmemorable. Just because you can hit every note there is, doesn't mean you have to. One flick of the wrist for the guitar work. One more for the steamy album cover, sugar. 🤚🤚
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.
Not a night at the opera... but it was great!
Yes.
Just ok for the most part. Killer Queen is unreal
Their last album had underperformed, they were struggling financially, their managers controlled them with an iron grip, and their guitarist had almost died (twice). Yet in the midst of all this chaos Queen produced an almost perfect jewel of an album: redolent with exquisite vocal harmonies, a mishmash of genres that come together in a heady bouquet, and which points the way to their triumphs yet to come.
Enjoyable, fast paced, no night at the opera but top three queen album
i don’t love queen but they are always a good time
El disc hard rock de Queen. Época de creativitat desbordant per la banda, que tan aviat consumava un exercici de rock dur perfecte com 'Brighton Rock', com excel.lia en el pop fervent de 'Killer Queen', s'accelerava a joies com 'Flick of the Wrist' i 'Stone Cold Crazy' i se suavitzava a la bonica 'Lily of the Valley'... cada tema aquí és una pedra preciosa diferent i igualment enlluernadora
Stone cold crazy!
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.
i've gotten more into queen over the past few years via Rock Band, so I enjoyed this album overall. after two listens, the songs I already knew remained my favorites, but I'll revisit this one from time to time. favorites: killer queen, stone cold crazy, brighton rock
Queen in my eyes is a highly overrated band. They owe Wayne's World a debt of gratitude. I've always seen them as a band with hits that weren't even that good, just provocative (fat bottom girls, that bicycle song, under pressure.) But these album cuts are deep. Lots of ground covered.
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.
I don’t like it very much. killer queen is good 2
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.
Not their best but still musically genius, possibly only because their other heights are so high this doesn't get a 5
Didn't think this was that good given I really like queen
A Queen album showing an expansion of their 70s hard rock sound.
A band really hitting their straps. Its all over the place really, but it works. Ballads with hard rock and developing that Queen sound.
It’s not Queen’s best, but it’s still so good. Love Queen, love the album.
5 plus this one
Several songs I've never heard before. Was pleasant surprise.
I liked mid-70s Queen and this is pretty good. Everything is in place - Brian May's distinctive guitar, the harmonies and the pomp, and still a predominantly hard rock sound. Now I'm Here is outstanding but I also like the underrated Tenement Funster. Side two tails off a bit.
okay, its got 'now im here on it', which i know from live at wembley, confirming further my idea that the only queen album worth having (at least on this list), is live at wembley
AGHHHH augh thos albums so good i love it so bad.. the first 5 tracks are just incredible vocal mastery. crashing falsetto on brighton rock. joyous. excellent guitar and lovely reverb... mmmmmm yummy awooo
5/5. A little biased but these songs do just flow into one another so easily. Short and sweet, they are unique and stand out so I’m never confused as to what song I’m listening to. Beautiful at times, silly and crazy at others, just a solid album.
I agree….I like the thick, dripping guitar tracks. Besides Killer Queen, I was not impressed. I’m generous at 3S.
I only knew 3 songs on this, but there were quite a few other winners. Apart from the obvious Killer Queen and Now I'm Here, I liked Brighton Rock and Misfire, which was really short, but good. A solid 4, maybe even a bit more.
begrudgingly, i like this album. it was fun. but i still dislike queen and i HATE bohemian rhapsody ok.
First part of the first track had me worried, but this turned out to be awesome! I liked how well some of the tracks blended into the next. Dude's vocals are insane when he gets going. Maybe only one or two tracks that didn't land. Rest was great
Totally awesome
I'm not sure this is their best album but it certainly shows where they were going.
The dueling guitars, the imppecable vocals, the undeniable style, these guys are my lead zepplin, the performance that cannot be matched.
Nisam nikad slušao Queen po albumima pa me album ugodno iznenadio, baš je dobro ukomponiran. 3,85
Listened Before? N Great album, and my first beginning-to-end Queen album! I loved it. The guitars are incredible, and of course Freddie Mercury was an amazing singer. Lots of unique songwriting here as well. Added to Library? N Songs added to playlist: Killer Queen, Stone Cold Crazy
I don’t get the hype.
First listen Not one of my favourite Queen albums but I feel like this one could grow on me eventually Favourite tracks: Brighton Rock, Killer Queen, Lily of The Valley, Now I’m Here, Stone Cold Crazy
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
Some classics in this
Excellent.
Queen rocks
Queen is one of my favorite bands. I love the lyrics, the tune, the vibes it’s all so good this has to be a 5
YAYY we got a queen album amazing very good yes.
harder rock compared to most queen. Would listen again.
This is a good album, but it’s not Queen’s best. Best tracks: Brighton Rock, Killer Queen, Tenement Funster, Flick of the Wrist, Lily of the Valley, Dear Friends Worst: In The Lap Of The Gods, In The Lap Of The Gods… Revisited, Bring Back That Leroy Brown
Queen rocks!
Tidlig Queen, men fortsatt veldig Queen. Kun en låt (Killer Queen) som var kjent for meg fra tidligere, uten at det var noe problem. Jeg foretrekker (og sparer derfor 5eren) senere album.
The diversity is crazy. Loud into silent, hard rock into soft rock. Brian May is great here. Bonus half point for great album cover. 4.5/5.
Queen seldomly disappoints
How have I never listened to queen before?: a really good album filled with songs I have never heard of but can 100% listen to again and again until they stick in my mind and never leave. Solid album.
The number of times I hear of how overrated Queen is, or by the number of diehard fans of who haven't heard anything beyond their hits. I was completely expecting this to be carried by "Killer Queen." This is an insanely fun album. It's so fast and eclectic, with a wild performance among both Mercury's vocals and the proggy rock instrumentals, million different styles in every song. It's not supposed to be coherent, although you have some awesome transitions (Tenement Funster to Flick of the Wrist to Lily of the Valley). But it's not a mess either. They all evoke the same mood, with a lot of classical and operatic influences interspersed. I wonder just how many Queen albums are actually this good.
The first half is an easy 4, but it falls off quite a bit in the second half.
Decent 7
As a music fan, I do a fair amount of chin-stroking, carefully considering what I’m listening to and evaluating it as art. I can forget sometimes that the primary purpose of most music is entertainment. You can’t forget that when listening to Queen. Hard to think of another band more willing to do handstands and back-flips to amuse you. This album is a blast. It’s got that signature Queen mash-up of hair metal meets vaudeville theatricality. “Killer Queen” is the standout track, one of their all-time bests, and it’s surrounded by a dozen tracks just as wild and energetic and eager to please.
Crazy good track to start with. Love the riffing from Brian May in this one. It's like he grabs your attention and finesses you around the room with this half lead / half rhythmic back and forth. It's very cool. His guitar tone here is really impressive too, as always. There's a little bit of this unrelenting energy in this album that hurts it a little for me. They have moments where it's less energetic and slowed down and stuff like that but I can't help but feel like they are just biding their time and going through the motions until the more high energy parts come. It's hard for me to articulate but I don't love that aspect. What a sweaty album cover. Love when a good album has a good amount of sweat on the cover. 4/5 for me. Very good. Very enjoyable.
Nothing really stood out. Suppose I'm not much of a Queen fan
day 24. I *think* this is the first Queen album I’ve listened to in its entirety. Only knew Killer Queen before. This is such a fun, weird, catchy joyride that just flies by. I had to listen to it twice and pay closer attention to the individual songs to figure out what my favorites were because they all just flow together so well. Even songs I wasn’t wild about like Misfire had some role to play in setting up what comes next. that being said I do feel like I would end up skipping some of the slower tunes. She Makes Me wasn’t doing much of anything for me. there were a lot of highs on the album for me (more on the front end) - Now I’m Here, Tenement Funster+Flick of the Wrist, Brighton Rock, Stone Cold Crazy … and I really like In The Lap of the Gods Revisited, it closes the album perfectly. 4.5/5 rounded up to 5, not perfect but I would absolutely listen to it many times over
I'm not huge on Queen, but this a pretty good. Probably the best I've heard from them so far.
LP
I am living for these early Queen albums. I thought Queen II was good, but holy shit was this even better. I may have liked the theming of Queen II more, but all the songs here are at least good, if not all excellent, and I'm still a big fan of the non-hit maker Queen that we see here that isn't present on the later records. I'm starting to see why Dimery picked the Queen albums he did, for sure. Loved this one, just one left, the big one!
Lmao, i keep forgetting that Queen was pretty much a wizard rock band in the early days.
Wow!! Queen er åpenbart mye mye mer enn bare hits. Gjennomført progrock
Usual queen bombastic approach but none the worse for that. Glorious nonsense.
Really fun album. Freddie gives an amazing performance and the rest of the band is equally tight. Good all around
this was great! killer queen is one of my favorite songs ever, but the rest of the album was surprisingly good as well! when queen is on, they’re one of the best bands ever, and this is all four doing some of their best work
Brighton rock 9/10 (solid opener) killer queen 10/10 (classic, peak queen) tenement funster 7/10 (sounds a bit dated, still fun) flick of the wrist 8/10 (Freddie sounds like he's doing a Halloween song, not a huge fan, good refrain and sick riffs save it) lily of the valley 8.5/10 (incredible melody, freddies voice rocks, shame it's so short) now I'm here 8/10 (doesn't get any more stereotypically queen than this) in the lap of the gods 6/10 (boring, simple melody, sounds like an interlude) stone cold crazy 9/10 (goes hard, ngl) dear friends 8/10 (somber freddie interlude, nice) misfire 7/10 (90s family sitcom melody, i can see the b rolls of a gated 97% white neighborhood while this plays, nice lyrics tho i like the message) bring back that leroy brown 5/10 (ooh boy, a song that sounds like something made in 1926, how innovative and provocative, amazing[not]) she makes me (stormtrooper in stilettos) 6/10 (inoffensive love song, "oh boo hoo i love her so much she's my love, im worried about the future but you make my brain shut up" who cares) in the lap of the gods... revisited 8.5/10 (this should've been in the lap of the gods, this is good, more of this please, shame it's the last song of the album) avg of 7.7/10 decent record, not the best queen record, at times brilliant and groundbreaking, and at times painfully boring. overall i did enjoy it, as a project in it's entirety I'd say 7.7 is a bit low, if i was to rate each song on their own 7.7 would be right. overall do recommend, try it if you like the shit your mom plays and soys over while on roadtrips
Top 3 Songs: 1 - Killer Queen (2) 2 - Brighton Rock (1) 3 - Now I'm Here (6)
Underestimated Queen as an album band this album has got some great songs. And I am doing Killer Queen for GCSE 💀
An amazing album from an amazing band.
Standouts: Lily of the Valley; In the Lap of the Gods…Revisited; Killer Queen. 4/5.
Good early Queen. The harmonies and guitars are there even if the songs aren’t as memorable. Killer Queen still kills, though.
Queen was always a singles band to me. Their albums were never consistent but their singles were really strong.
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.
Apart from 'Killer Queen' which is a great song, this album just didn't cut it in my opinion. As mentioned before, Queen is not really my cup of tea to begin with, but that is usually weighed up by really good songs. Didn't really find any of that here unfortunately. The surprise of hearing some Queen metal did give it some extra points though, did definitely not see that coming!
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
Continues to prove how underrated they are as an influence on metal. Great musicianship, vocals and songwriting. Moves a bit fast at times, but stands the test of time.
Enjoyable album that just falls a bit short because it is between styles. Bit opera rock and a bit progressive makes for a good album, however not as good as the the album before or after that are commited to one style only
nice
Un des meilleurs albums de Queen (égalité avec Queen II), Sheer Heart Attack a kickstart ma passion des albums, j’aurais donc probablement pas fait ce challenge si je l’avais pas écouté il y a 5 ans. 5/5, good job
Ok. I like the songs i liked and that was kind of it for me
i mean, stunning. it doesn’t get better.
love queen
Great album top to bottom. Always love Queen but never listened to this album all the way through and gotta say it’s probably better than A Day at the Races. The tempo of the album does this really cool thing where it ebbs and flows not just from one song to the next but also within and between songs. The trifecta transition connecting Tenement Funster, Flick of the Wrist, and Lily of the Valley is so good that I can’t even tell where one song starts and the other begins. Brighton Rock: 4.5/5 love the tempo of the song, brings back memories of Baby Driver whenever I listen to it. Lyrics are kinda hard to follow and the middle of the song feels a little drawn out but that’s mostly nitpicking a great song. Killer Queen: 5/5 classic for a reason. That guitar riff is iconic and the song just makes you want to bop your head and sing along Tenement Funster: 4.5/5 really love the beat and the guitar solos and Roger Taylor’s vocals are a nice change of pace Flick of the Wrist: 5/5 quickly becoming one of my favorite Queen songs it’s so catchy and high tempo and was getting me so pumped up just listening to it with the rising deep vocals Lily of the Valley: 4/5 slower tempo song is a nice change of pace and the lyrics are really deep and emotional Now I’m Here: 4/5 solid classic Queen rock anthem. Not much more to say In the Lap of the Gods: 2/5 kinda boring basic transition song. Not worth listening to independently of the album but serves a good purpose in transitioning between the front and back half. Also serves as the basis for the revisited version Stone Cold Crazy: 3/5 another solid romp but when compared to the rest of the similar style songs on this album before it it lands a little flat Dear Friends: 3.5/5 nice slow tempo change of pace with good harmony and instrumentation just a little too short and gets lost in the rest of the album Misfire: 4/5 A solid song with a different vibe with the high pitched guitar riffs which give it a kinda fluttery feel. A little short would have loved to see the concept drawn out Bring Back That Leeroy Brown: 3/5 really brings out the British rock in them and feels like a cross of Beatles and Jim Croce which is probably close to what they’re going for but doesn’t really resonate with me because I don’t associate heavy piano with Queen and the repetitiveness of the chorus doesn’t really land She Makes Me: 3/5 no strong opinion. It’s just kinda there and is easy to space out on at the end of the album In the Lap of the Gods… Revisited: 4/5 a great rock ballad that serves as a great send off to a great album. Also love how it revisits a weaker song from earlier in the album and spins it and its message into something new. Doesn’t really hold a candle to the top of the album but this type of ballad song is quintessential Queen album design
Most of this album cooks. Brighton Rock and Stone Cold Crazy are pure bangers that totally rock. The medley of Tenement Funster, Flick of the Wrist and Lily of the Valley is outstanding! The final quarter is a bit of a let down but overall, this is a worthy listen. Not quite five stars but still really good.
Queen being Queen
Ken ik al brooo
Having only heard their biggest hits (although we are talking enough to fill two or three albums), it was nice listening to the original full length albums. Awesome experience.
Better than Lynyrd Skynyrd
Freddie Mercury's voice shines in this unique soundscape
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.
Sheer Heart Attack
Not the Queenest Queen album, but it's Queen enough.
It’s a great album.It has Killer Queen on it.Brighton rock id crazy guitar theatrics.Stone cold Crazy is a fun song.Now I’m here’s Intro is great.Bring back that leroy Brown is Kind of a fun olden timey sounding song.In the lap of goss revisited is theatrical and I like it.
Key songs: Brighton Rock, Killer Queen, Stone Cold Crazy
Toujours rocambolesque et grandiloquent, comme tous les albums de Queen, avec les personnages archétypaux. Un bon moment!
Killer queen... ¡Vinilo!
Banco. 7.5 /10
Couple classic hits and the start of that great Queen sound!
A lot of classics are from the album. Not a single dull moment
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.
Good stuff
I love this album. Probably my favorite album from Queen. It starts and ends so strong, it's kind of incredible. Brian May's guitar tone is perfect as always. Almost a perfect record.
Yet another blast from the past!
Queen! Really flexing the range here. And Killer Queen is one of my favorites.
This is a fun album. Freddy Mercury is amazing of course. They all were good singers but I don’t know why you’d want to Brian May sing lead on any song with Freddy Mercury in the band. Brian May is a great guitarist I love his tones. Killer Queen is such a cool tune. Stone Cold Crazy is a cool riff it’s almost like proto thrash metal. I’d give maybe a 4.5 because I’d probably skip over a tune or two if I was listening again
This is hard to rate. Objectively this is a ten. The songwriting is incredible and I love how unique their sound is. The whole thing sounds like a musical. He’s probably the best rock vocalist of all time and all the vocal arranging is crazy. Brian may has such great tones (and really going for the Hendrix thing in Brighton rock) but the rhythm section is not really interesting or special in any way and when that’s the case I just have a hard time getting super excited. Idk how to rate it bc they are amazing but I probably won’t ever listen to this again.
It’s crazy how unique Queen is. so fun.
Pre listening notes - already one of my favorite queen albums, as well as album covers ;) Top 3 tracks are: 3. Lap of the Gods 2. Killer Queen 1. Now I’m Here Post listening notes - Brighton Rock - unimpressed initially, vocals and riffs seemed strange jolty and unorganized, but at 3:19 my opinion changed, the skills exhibited by each member in this solo/duet? Incredible
Sheer Heart Attack is Queen's third studio album. After those first two great albums, they released this fantastic record that finally defined their sound for the 70s. This may be my favorite album not only from the first three albums, but from their entire discography (since I enjoy their early albums the most). Every song is just brilliant. Vocals, guitars, drums, production... everything is very close to what people usually call PERFECTION. This is the absolute definition of a perfect album - 5/5.
I loved this album. They have so many albums and I have only heard a handful of them.
Queen man. Top tier
Not my favorite version of Queens sound
It's a proper rock album. Love it.
"Sheer Heart Attack" is the third studio by English rock band Queen. Musically and lyrically, Queen was digressing from the progressive themes of their first two albums becoming more pop-centric and conventional rock...."classic" Queen. Queen used four major studios to record and had to work around and with Brian May health issues. The album was excellently produced by Roy Thomas and is recognized as one of if not their best albums and an essential glam rock album. They go well beyond glam rock on this album. The album launched their world-wide popularity and made the US album top 20 hitting #12. "Brighton Park" begins with carnival noises and very high-pitched Freddie Mercury vocals. A Brian May-written song and he showcases his guitar ability with solos and delay effects. A hard, fast song about two lovers meeting on holiday in Brighton. "Kller Queen" was their first hit single and the first Queen song that I remember hearing. Fingers snapping, the piano comes in and Freddie mentions a marionette. No, Marie Antoinette, I now know. Actually about a high-class call girl. Brian May wrote "Now I'm Here" while in the hospital. A strumming guitar open which reminded me of a Pavement song "A Date With IKEA." It goes to a chaotic jam by the band. The classic guitar riff sounds a lot like The Nazareth riff in "Hair of the Dog" a year later. The song is about their previous tour with Mott the Hoople. A highlight of the second side and album is "Stone Cold Crazy." This is driving thrash metal. Taylor is playing punk drums. A favorite among heavy metal and rock fans and about gangsters and Al Capone. A second mention of Al Capone this week. The band goes ragtime in "Bring Back That Leroy Brown," an ode to the Jim Croce song. May playing ukulele and banjo, Deacon on upright bass and Taylor killing it with the kick drums. The albums ends with "In the Lap of the Gods..Revisted" which the band intended to be a song to sing along to and it was up until a song a few years later about champions. Very anthem-like and a great song to end with. This album is great...my favorite Queen. Beyond glam, there's elements of metal and hard rock. A lot of variety also with ragtime and the album does not seem overly ambitious like some of their work. The production and arrangements are excellent. Each member showing their talent and strengths. Excellent guitar work and effects by May. A classic.
but more rock oriented than they normally are but the best songs of theirs aren't here
classic
5.0
An amazing album. I had never listed to all of it straight through.
Queen is my favorite classic rock band!
”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+
Очень драйвово и вкусно. Я люблю многие песни отсюда, пусть это и не лучший альбом. Но все равно супер кайф
Queen - супер класс! Да, не самая популярная запись, но одна из первых. Интересно наблюдать за становлением гранда рок-сцены. Уже заметен фирменный стиль: например, в Killer Queen, есть фальцет Фреди, а также очень узнаваемый ритм и звук клавишных. Хорошая запись, добрая. Это, конечно, не апогей карьеры Queen, но альбом вероятно заслуживает нашего внимания в этом списке, потому что это был первый большой успех группы. Рекомендуется тем, кто не слушал Фредди и co. дальше топ-5 песен.
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.
really cool old shit
I like Queen and I like this. I think the first track is a little weak and lacks focus. But then the rest of the album is amazing.
I’m not a huge fan of the band, but they do have some really good songs, a few that are in this album. They do some really cool stuff with right and left channels that I’ve never heard done quite like that. Enjoyable listen.
Good album. Queen's varied comp is something I'm still learning to appreciate. Still haven't listened enough to fully hear the lyrics, but have enjoyed the music overall.
Rock? Punk? Prog? Opera? Dixie Jazz? This album is all over the place, from the poppy well-known Killer Queen, through the heavy-metal inspiring Stone Cold Crazy, Queen weaves a tapestry of eclectic music into a tight 39 minutes. 4/5.
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
As I've said already, Queen is my favourite band. I know this album backwards and forwards. Brighton Rock is why I picked up a guitar many many years ago. So much good stuff on here beyond the incredibly well known Killer Queen.
BOOM BADDA BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM This album is so much fun, and so energetic, and doesn't have any of the gross trappings that other arena-ready rock acts of the era tend to have. (No songs lamenting the fact that a girl is underage or anything.) I like this as a whole more than any other full album I've heard of theirs. I gonna find this vinyl.
Really liked "Misfire." I'm a fan of Queen, but have hardly listened to any full albums to be honest. There was one or two WTF tracks on here like Bring Back Leroy Brown, but they still somehow fit.
It's Queen, so you know it's good. It just isn't 5 star good to my ears.
Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yeah, some great riffs and stellar vocals Favourite song: Track 2 - Killer Queen
The Killer Queen 45 was the first Queen music I bought and the album, Sheer Heart Attack remains one of my favourite albums (tied with Bohemian Rhapsody) of Queen. After their first two meandering albums, Queen pulled it together and released a great rock record, that straddled the genres of prog and metal and with songs like, Killer Queen, Flick Of The Wrist and Brighton Rock, proved the band can write radio-friendly music. I bailed on the band after, Day At The Races as they became much too mainstream and pop music hit machines. It's too bad.
Great album! Sound is raw and just rocks in so many fun ways. Love Queen! Stand out songs for me are Killer Queen, Now I'm Here, Stone Cold Crazy
How much party drugs do I need to do to enjoy this album? It seems like a lot of party drugs went into making it.
Dia 1. Agarra o braço com a força que te resta. Massaja o músculo que a cada espasmo contrai e, não menos importante, respira. Quase dez décadas neste mundo e ainda não aprendeste a respirar. Sem dares um passo, vai ao passado. Visita o mundo, viaja às Guerras. Agora não respondes ao tempo ou ao espaço. Pensa nas espadas que caíram por ti, as que pousaste nos ombros dos resistentes. Pensa no corgi, no sofá vitoriano que ele arranha, nos pins, nas honras, nos emblemas, na colecção de chapéus, nas canecas com o teu rosto, líquido mais quente que o que segue correndo em ti. Pensa no filho e nos netos e nas megeras que com eles casaram, coitadinhos, os tempos são outros, entregues à sua sorte. Pensa no que fica por fazer. Pensa em tudo o que não terias feito se tivesses ido mais cedo. O músculo já não se deixa massajar. Larga o braço e, o mais importante, respira. Malditos mosquitos no olhar, os campos cada vez mais brancos. Pensa em ti. Pensa nos outros. Pensa mais nos outros. God save the Queen.
Queen is always great, consistent album
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".
Killer Queen and Flick of the Wrist highlight this album that gives us a hint of the Brian May guitar riffed, Freddie Mercury piano and vocals led, complex background harmonized treats we were all in for on future albums.
There is some spectacular songs on this. Bring Back That Leroy Brown. Wow. Stone Cold, Killer Queen. Classics. Great stuff, also some stuff that doesn't measure up to what I expect from Queen. Great album, not my favorite.
Queen makes bad albums
Overhyped band
Before this album, I had only listened to a Night at the Opera (which is an amazing album). This album is also very good, but not as good. You get the feeling that they were warming up for their best album to be released the following year. There are great stand out tracks that showcase the sometimes awe inspiring musicianship of the band, as well as the vocal mastery of Freddie Mercury. On the other hand, 'She Makes Me (Stormtrooper in Stilettos)' kinda sounds like a bit of a drag, especially after the chaotic brilliance of 'Bring Back That Leroy Brown'. The great tracks greatly outnumber the poorer tracks in this album and it is highly recommended. FAVORITE TRACKS - Killer Queen - Now I'm Here - Stone Cold Crazy - Bring Back That Leroy Brown - In The Lap Of The Gods... Revisited 4.75/5
Great album
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.
Starting to think some real hipster bozo made this list, everytime its an album by a band/artist who clearly have endless bangers, the album they provide is some off key crapper with zero known songs. That being said, it wasn’t bad, but meh.
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.
Fucking hell I love Brian May for this, absolute 100% glam shred perfection. Honourable mention to the one shot cowbell in Misfire. I've been pretty generous with the five stars lately but this is a no brainer
Classic Queen Good mix of Ballad Rock, Hard Rock and Classic Rock One of Queens best albums Great flow
Noped out at Flick of the Wrist. It's just not for me.
Is a god one
Approached it with skepticism, I don’t like the Queen… still don’t get why this should be so relevant, it’s a pastiche of glam, hard rock and baroque pop melodies… so I just give it 2 stars honestly but maybe it’s because I just don’t get it…
Absolutely amazing. Rocky, fun, and hearty.
My favourite Queen album. Every one a bangers - all Killer Queens with no Filler Queens...
Holy moly, what an album. This generator is making me a bonafide Queen fan. Who would’ve thought!?
Solid album I thought
Again I'm quietly blown away by a Queen album. Recognised killer queen and stone cold crazy on this one, the rest was new every bit as good. That perfect mix of whimsical bullshit and hard rock, and pulled off really well. Easy 5/5, could have been twice as long.
This album had more range than I thought it would. Operatic ballads, funky guitar riffs, and hunky dory tracks make it very enjoyable to listen to. Instruments and vocals sound great and the lyrics are entertaining as well. There's nothing here to really complain about except that I personally just felt it was a tad lackluster and I can't even really tell where. I just have this feeling that they weren't quite enthusiastic about the songs they were creating, even if they did play their hearts out on them. 4/5
With a stronger ending this would be a five but the energy starts to fade in the last few songs
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.
killer queen fire wtf carried by killer queen a bit but still chill
The best Queen album I'd never heard
Queen start to become more glam rock than prog, but there are still elements here. This is what I think Queen sound like when people discuss them - it's the epitome of their sound. I've got to say, I'm not the biggest Queen fan as I feel they were more a singles band, but this album is pretty, pretty, pretty good. Fair play lads. Best Tracks: Killer Queen; Now I'm Here; Stone Cold Crazy
Enjoyable.
Classic/10
Decent queen album strong start but declined somewhat. Nearly a 4 but not quite
