Reviews (page 14 of 14)
All of the annoying parts of prog, glam pop, and hard rock melded together into a seamless half hour of irritating, bloated, pompous arena rock from the most overrated band of all time. The guitar tone is the only good bit and he doesn't even do anything especially interesting with it except the harmonized lead on Misfire - otherwise its just boring shredding and medium riffs that're always quickly subsumed by a new movement in the song from a bassoon or a choir or something else borrowed from classical music that for some reason is impressive to simpletons. Everything about it is showy but vacuous. At least they aren't singing about wizards and trolls anymore.

Awful. High pitched singing. Same piano chords and safe guitar
Queen is de meest overhypte rockband uit de popgeschiedenis. Tuurlijk, Mercury kan een ziek groot bereik zingen en iedereen denkt aan oliebollen bij Bohemian Rhapsody. Een track verworden tot een culturele traditie vind ik best vet. Maar veel wat ze hebben gemaakt is gewoon troep theatrale troep. Het is over de top en heeft me eigenlijk nooit aangesproken. Op SHA gebeurt dat ook. Zeker in het slotnummer. Die gaat veels te ver, zeker omdat de kwaliteit van de nummers er voor bedroevend is. Bring Back That Leroy Brown is een soort Sesamstraat nummertje. Dan kan je toch niet zo groots eindigen als met In the Lap of the Gods. En dan ook nog afsluiten met een bliksemschicht. Gedver. Ergenis. Queen is overrated. 4,5/10
wank
Refused to listen. Fucking HATE this band.
I like Queen but this album felt like a theatre kid group made some songs. Brighton Rock, killer queen, Stone Cold Crazy were the stand outs - the rest had me wanting to skip, which I did.
Pish
Couple of bangers overwhelmingly outnumbered by a lot of absolutely waffle. Brian May was wasted on them. High points: Brighton Rock Now I'm Here Brian May's Guitar tone Low points: Everything else Roger Taylor singing Whatever the fuck Bring Back That Leroy Brown is meant to be
Look, Queen is legendary, but Sheer Heart Attack feels like the weird fever dream where Freddie Mercury said, “Let’s throw every genre into a pot and see what happens.” It’s campy, chaotic, and utterly unapologetic, but also so all over the place it’s like Queen couldn’t decide whether they wanted to be rock gods or the soundtrack to a space-themed circus. It’s fun at times, but mostly feels like they’re assaulting you with guitar solos, operatic screams, and lyrics that sound like they were written during a costume change. Classic, yes, but classic like the bizarre sweater your grandma insists is “vintage.”
Fuck. No. Some of the most overrated, tedious and moronic music ever created.
Meh other than 1 song. 1/5
no thanks
Nah
Nothing special, not really my type of music. I would need to be in a specific mood to listen to this again.
Queenistä pitäminen ei automaattisesti tarkoita, etteikö pitäisi musiikista, mutta tämä ei muuta sitä faktaa, että sen kappaleet on sävelletty niille, jotka tarvitsevat jatkuvaa kikkailua, pelaamista ja banaalia teknisyyttä välittääkseen levysoittimessa (yeah right) pyörivän levyn tuottamista äänistä. Ymmärrän hyvin, että kun lippaan kerran avaa, ja uskoo nousseensa biisinteon yläpuolelle, on lipasta enää vaikea sulkea. Kysymys kuuluukin: olisivatko he pystyneet parempaan?
Una verga
NEIN ey Welcher Gigaboomer hat diese Liste erstellt das ist ja unerträglich
Herzattacke bekommen davon wie sehr ich Queen hasse aber schon noch hörbarer als andere Alben von diesen br*ts
Größtenteils mittelmäßig geschriebene und nicht sonderlich interessante hard und glam rock songs die durch das ab und zu durchscheinende Virtuosentum eher noch vermiest werden, da es komplett fehl am Platz wirkt. Besonders die unzähligen Gitarrensoli wurden nach der Zeit echt ätzend. Nichtsdestotrotz gab es auch einige kleine Lichtblicke wie die Ballade Lilly of the valley oder die Hit single Killer queen, die schon eine Vorahnung auf die Zukunft der Band geben. Insgesamt muss ich sagen, dass ich zwar ohnehin kein Fan von Queen war, ich sie aber von anderen Songs als deutlich talentiertere Band kenne, die auf diesem sehr holprigen Album nicht anzutreffen ist.
I love queen, but although they made a lot of really great songs, they also made a lot more not great ones. I have never thought that Queen makes good Albums, and Sheer Heart Attack did not change my opinion. 1
Brighton Rock - alright - too uplifting for me right now Killer Queen - Liked killer queen - more laid back - ooos and ahhhs were nice Like the 8D audio in Now I'm here - too much squealing in some sections In the lap of the gods - liked the piano overall too much oohh and ahhh and too much 8d audio going on 6/10
