I love queen, but I didn’t know many songs from this album so I was excited !! Fav song is ‘Killer Queen’.
killer queen and lily of the valley were good but the rest were not my cup of tea
Great album with several big hit songs. Still blows me away that this came out in 1974, it seems ahead of it's time by decade. The music is great and of course the vocals are amazing. Definitely going to be listening to this one again.
Done
Quite cool, loved Queen always but never really got into them, would rate the whole album like 4 and half maybe
I love how it escalated. Queen is so awsome
Great vocals and guitar riffs. The first half seems to b to be better then the second, although the album is never boring or repetitive. Some songs might be more forgetful then others, but wouldn't qualify any ha bad.
some of these songs were pretty but just nothing that really grabbed my attention. i can't tell if it's familiarity/nostalgia bc i used to be obsessed with it as a kid, but "Killer Queen" just felt miles above anything else on here. my gripe with Queen is that they have so much Good going on but they just use all of it all at once, and it always blends together to me. it's too overstimulating/theatrical the whole time -- i need some ebb and flow to be able to feel some impact. Fav tracks: Killer Queen
I think I may be a single only Queen fan - at least that's all I've really listened to before listening to this album. I like News of the World and think I have listened to it in the past, but I find myself skipping to the singles and get to the "good stuff." I am really glad that I listened to this album all the way through though - it really has opened up my eyes and I'm ready for the deep cuts. I love how theatrical and unashamed Queen was when writing their music - they found their audience.
Very unique
quite nice
Queen is a great band with plenty of amazing songs. Unfortunately, they weren't all that good at putting cohesive albums together and so their records are frequently littered with weird and annoying filler in between some of the greatest songs ever written. Sheer Heart Attack is definitely on the upper end of Queen albums but I'd still prefer their Greatest Hits collection over basically any album they've ever put out.
Queen is always fun. Not sure I knew any of these except Killer Queen beforehand, but still fun.
This was the first album by Queen where they moved from Prog to become the Glam rock icons that everyone sees them to be. They aren't mere theatrics, though. They are all talented musicians and songwriters. Freddie shows why he the rock vocalist GOAT. And each track does something, from Brian May's solo on "Brighton Rocks", to Roger Taylor getting out in front of the drum kit, two a three song stretch of one into another of "Tenement Funster"/"Flick of the Wrist"/"Lily of the Valley", to birthing Thrash Metal with "Stone Cold Crazy".
Good
SHART ATTACK
Im not the biggest fan of queen
I can't believe I've never listened to a Queen album before. It was quite disorienting to listen to songs I had never heard before and then suddenly a song that I knew every word to. I enjoy the music but do think this would be background listening for me.
Hard rock, glam rock.
𝘚𝘩𝘦𝘦𝘳 𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘈𝘵𝘵𝘢𝘤𝘬 feels like a band in the middle of figuring out just how much they could do. There’s no shortage of ambition here, and you can already hear many of the ideas that would define Queen at their best. At times, though, the album feels a little scattered, as if it’s reaching in several directions at once without fully committing to any of them. 𝗞𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗿 𝗤𝘂𝗲𝗲𝗻 is the obvious exception. It’s one of the sharpest and most memorable songs in the band’s catalogue, and for me it easily stands above everything else on the album. The rest is perfectly enjoyable, but I never shake the feeling that Queen would do this sort of thing even better on later records. For me, 𝘚𝘩𝘦𝘦𝘳 𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘈𝘵𝘵𝘢𝘤𝘬 is an interesting step toward greatness rather than greatness itself.
Always refreshing to hear something other than the singles from the world's most overrated and overplayed glam prog band, but it's a shame when the "highlights" are limited to the forgettable or downright silly. If I'd never heard Queen before it would probably score higher.
Iconic and fun as heck. There isn't a track I don't enjoy.
it's pretty spectacular in parts. maybe a weaker back half, and honestly doesn't have any peak Queen (of which there is plenty). favorite is Flick Of The Wrist, but that one bit in Brighton Rock is extremely sick. strong 3
Rating: 6/10 It's decent and never not enjoyable but is not the strongest collection of songs for me, I don't really see Queen as an full albums band. It doesn't help that the first two tracks Brighton Rock and the great Killer Queen are the best the album has to offer in my opinion. Put like any of these songs on the aux and I'm having a pretty good time
So I don't really like it, but at the same time I think I respect Queen a little more for being so flexible with the kind of music they're able to produce, and I think this might make me like their hits a tiny bit more. The annoying songs were pretty annoying, but there were some great ones on here. Overall, pretty jumbly and "random" and not for me, but I respect it 5.1/10
Enjoyed this being less theatrical than their other works - and what felt like more emphasis on the band as equals
boring
I’ve really started to enjoy cleaning over the past couple of years. This album held up really well to replay. The lyrics are nice of the instrumental. Experimental sense is really well done I really enjoyed it. Might come back and give it a five.
Queen rocked.
I've never been too into Queen and this album didn't change that either. It wasn't bad but I've always thought they've been more of a singles band, and tbf this album did show that they had decent deep cuts since the big single off this album (Killer Queen) is one of my least favs. Still though, not bad and enjoyable/energetic enough to listen to, but nothing too memorable 3/5.
Three. Not one of their stuff I’m crazy about
perfection
It‘s Queen but also it’s Queen
Very good album. Strong melodic start with compelling instrumentals in Brighton Rock. Killer Queen is obviously a classic among classics. Another highlight is also Stone Cold Crazy. The driving vocals draw you in and get you into the mood. I think the back half of the album is a bit weaker. I didn't really love In the Lap of the Gods... Revisited on the first listen. 4/5
Love the combination of the rock and theatrical elements.
1st time listen, don’t think it will be my last
Bit of a mixed bag for me. Some all-timers on this track list for sure though.
Pretty groovy fancy album. Good 👍
I just feel like you have to like Queen. Folks in the 70's had it so good.
Such a good album. They're one of the GOAT's for a reason.
👸 Rock legends. Just an album you can put on and your broom becomes a guitar and microphone. 4.2
This didn’t hit me as hard as night at the opera, but it was still great. 8/10 Most Excellent
It's queen, everyone loves queen. I dont find queen that interesting as I used to when discovering them and not being so open to music like today. They're ok, with great melodies
Solid songs, Killer Queen is still a banger!
Whiplash on this album! So many different song styles. I enjoyed some a lot and others less so. Queen is a great band with obvious skill, but I can’t rate it super high with the lack of cohesion
I don’t think I had actually listened to full queen album before. It’s usually just been the greatest hits. Overall, I thought the album was solid, with some enjoyable songs scattered throughout. Transitions from song to song were immaculate, which helped heighten the album as well. Favorite song: Killer Queen
I love Queen, but I have the same issue with this album as I do with most of their albums - a couple crazy bangers and the rest is just meh. Still warrants a 4, but I wish it was better front to back.
Amazing album, had some classics there and overall amazing, no words.
Killer queen saves the album for me 😩😩
Mostly forgettable. Stone Cold Crazy was pretty good. Idk whether I loved or hated Lily of the Valley, but its one of the few I remembered.
Theatrical and chaotic. In a good way. *Upgraded to a 5 after further listens. Great flow to it as an album, a couple of bangers, and clearly better than other 4s.
A bit all over the place.
Florid
Oh wow, a Queen album!
Bangers
Annoyingly unfocused - when they got it together, it sounds great (Killer Queen), otherwise it's a bunch of pompous noise
I don't know what to say, exactly. Sheer Heart Attack is the album that queen released between my two favorite queen albums. Queen 2, my favorite, and a night at the opera, an undisputed classic. This one find them in a bit of a weird place. Feels like they move back to their hard/glam rock origins in the first album, abandoning the prog rock of queen 2, and not yet arriving to the blend of a night at the opera. Well, I don't really like this place. It's a middle ground that doesn't live them with much material, "meat", to this record. I don't want to be to harsh with it, it still has quality in it. Killer Queen of course, the opener is very good, and other than that I particularly loved "She Makes Me (Stormtrooper in Stilettoes)", a great brian may ballad. I was thinking of a 2.8, if it's fine with you.
Could have used a bit more time between Queen albums on this project, to be honest. But I’m also not sure if I would have gelled with this even in the best mindset. It feels like the pieces of this band haven’t quite locked together yet, so it ends up sounding closer to other, more generic hard rock albums from the time. Standout moment: For good reasons, Killer Queen is the one song here that’s lingered in the culture and it still holds up.
A couple great songs. 3
6.0/10
A very enjoyable queen album. Some of Brian May’s best guitar work, with songs that flow into each other very nicely.
Ihan täyttä Queeniä, mutta kappaleet ei paria klassikkoa lukuunottamatta ollut niin erikoisia. Parhaat: Killer Queen, Stone Cold Crazy
I don’t know how I feel about this album. There’s a couple good songs at the beginning mostly killer Queen and the first four songs other than that I don’t know if I would listen to the rest of this again it got real weird at the end and I couldn’t finish it. Which is awkward. But maybe it’s just not what I’m in the mood for. OK, that’s all. 3.3/5
It's like if a Led Zeppelin tribute band and Paul McCartney had a gay baby with a learning disability.
One Queen's better records in terms of album structure and flow. Their signature operatic style mixed with hard rock and progressive aesthetics works wonders on this wonderful LP.
It’s so interesting to me how nearly all Queen albums sound so similar. Some have hits, like this one with Killer Queen while others don’t.
this might be my favourite queen album i’ve heard so far, it really lets me hear some of their less popular work and the quality just stands so consistently
It’s a classic classic rock album—Now I’m Here slaps
Peak early production studio effects. Musicianship is incredible. Song writing isn’t exactly my style but it’s so fun I can’t deny it.
just not my genre
Sure, Killer Queen isn't bad. The following 25 minutes are boring Queen stuff before they fuck about, and then it's over. 2.45 so that I can round down.
Queen had a lot of albums and a lot of songs. This album focuses more on their rock side, with songs like Stone Cold Crazy, which was later covered by Metallica and caused a renaissance of the original. But that doesn’t mean that Brian, Freddie, John and Roger didn’t slip in a little operatic flair, like on Lily of the Valley. I liked Now I’m Here because it featured a bit of both sides. In the Lap of the Gods, did the same thing, with Freddie’s soaring vocals only matched by Brian’s equally soaring guitar work. Then there are quirk songs like Killer Queen, which no other band could have gotten away with. I still think that I am more of a Queen Best of (I&II) kind of person, but I enjoyed this album best when compared to their others.
Random thoughts: * I forget that Queen has an extensive catalog. That's how you end up with at least a double disc of greatest hits. * How do you transverse from greatest hits to actual fan? I've clearly made that transition for the Beatles and Zeppelin but am still really a greatest hits guy with Queen. * Key tracks on this album were Killer Queen and Now I'm Here. * Nice mix of 70s rock, musical/jazz, and operatic styles. Queen contains multitudes. * Do I think this album is necessary? Not really once you've heard Killer Queen. Back to my pondering above on transversing from greatest hits guy to fan. * Someday I might cross that threshold from greatest hits to the whole catalog for Queen. Not yet though.
Some classics that are great earworms, so others that deserve to remain in obscurity. Not their best work but damn, it would have been explosive when brand new.
IS THAT A JOJO- but I’m happy to get a queen album :D Brian May my man can play that guitar like nobody’s business. Killer Queen automatically being my fav song from this album cause it’s iconic and it’s an iconic song. Kira get ya stand, queen guranted to blow y’all’s minds literally
Хорошо
Así da gusto hacer el challenge. Un album muy top
Undeniably solid - went in far more pessimistic than I got to listening to the full album. Liked it a lot more than I thought I would. Really enjoyed the listen overall. 4
A bit inconsistent in the same way all Queen albums are (they always have to put some cheese on their records) but honestly this is still their most solid crop of songs. It's just fun and catchy bangers. Nothing as pretentious and overly dramatic as some of their other stuff. Good shit.
Alright! Here we go with another Queen album from the list! This one is legendary as well with some timeless classics like Now I'm Here or the Killer Queen. Great work with at least 4 stars, not sure if this can reach 5 for me though. Rated 4.0 on RYM for now
Classic Rock, Classic Queen - Double Album Delight
I don't understand anything but it also sounds gas so who cares, its getting a relisten later for sure. It kinda drags at the end but the first half easily makes up for it. Killer Queen is definitely going in my playlist. I haven't really listened to that much Queen, and I can't wait to see how they develop after this.
Bien fino
7/10
Shitballs this fucking rocks!! I wasn't expecting just how metal some of the riffs are. Freddie's voice is of course absolute perfection. However, I don't know why May isn't more often noted as a guitar god these days, because he most certainly is. Also the mofo has a freaking PhD in physics. How cool is that?
Me gustó medianamente, no estuvo mal, tiene ritmo
Killer Queen is an absolute smash. Here Queen is really forming themselves into what they became known for, musical tornadoes. The weight of this album can’t be overstated and it has some of their best songs, yet the ending doesn’t hold up as well for me.
Never listened start to finish. Will have to again. What a great set of tunes.
Somehow I never realised that Queen must've had actual albums and not just greatest hits collections. Unfortunately I can see why. It's Killer Queen and a bunch of stuff that is very nice, but just the most generic Queen slop imaginable.
It’s Queen. I love Queen :) and also this album, yay yay🌟
overrated, poor vocal mixing, good instrumentals, freddie mercury jolly ahh goofy ahh lyrics and rhythms merchant
My favorite Queen song is on this record but I have to take away one star for the ones that sound like Supertramp and the ELO-esque production.
Theatrical and energetic. A bunch of songs I was unfamiliar with.
Talk about an explosive album There’s some great songs on this one, Killer Queen’s obviously the standout but Brighton Rock, Flick of the Wrist, and Stone Cold Crazy are all pretty solid songs. I do think this is a well paced album with lots of variety, a little something for everyone. Freddie Mercury’s vocals and May’s guitar expertise really go a long way, there’s just so much talent in this band. I don’t I liked this one quite as much as Queen II, the second half drags a bit and I just don’t think some songs (She Makes Me, In the Lap of the Gods) utilize the talents the band has very well. I also think it lacks a true standout that so many of their other albums have (Killer Queen’s good but I don’t think it’s in their top 10 best songs). Bars going to be pretty high for a band as decorated as Queen, and although there’s plenty I complained about they just make really solid music. Pretty crazy to see how much their style evolves between their previous album and this one
There was some good stuff there but man there's a lot of weird songs. Stone Cold Crazy is my favorite; Killer Queen is a little too overplayed (I blame JJBA) Lots of variety, but when that variety leads to more jank(?) music then i can't say i support it all too much. Too many songs that were beyond my understanding. Still very solid
Third Queen studio album, recorded 1974. Strong stuff and a definite window not only into who they were BECOMING but who they had BECOME. Good rock, good chops. Still not one of their best, but listenable. Not bad, not great.
Good album. Except I heard this album way too many times leading up to this day. The problem of living with a Queen fan, unfortunately. This album has good variety and doesn't drag on. There's not much else to say.
Thank the good Lord above we’re back to great music on today’s journey through the 1,001 albums you must hear before you die. How do I know? Well, it’s because I’ve listened to Queen’s Sheer Heart Attack several times and a lot of the songs about 1,001 times. Queen is an all-timer, and I don’t think they really got their due until the last 20 years or so despite the fact that the average person can probably name 5 Queen songs. They had songs for everybody, and they were weird, which I love. I can see and hear in my mind’s eye a stadium full of people chanting along. It hit me just now, this sounds like a Pink Floyd song. Like something off of The Wall. Great album and full of surprises, even though I've heard it a few times. If you are just a casual fan of Queen, listen to this album. It gives you a perfect snapshot of what this band is. They aren’t just a rock band, they aren’t just a pop band, they are a band that mixes genres so well that they are their own thing. I think this is a must-hear album, and you should hear it this weekend.
Been a minute since I listened to this and man did I enjoy it. Really cohesive sounding album where one song bleeds into another yet all maintain a distinct sound. Goofy fuckin band with wonderful vocals, harmonies, guitar tone, and arrangements. Fuck yeah
I am appointing Misfire song of the summer. However I can't help thinking through most of these tracks that I'd rather be listening to ELO or Boston
It might lack some of the greatest songs of all time, but it's just a kick ass album through and through and probably my favorite Queen album as a result. A divine, unbroken blend of heavy rock and roll guitar, theatrical thespian vocals, and melodious piano. It's hard to square this album with the Queen making Under Pressure but god damn, they have more range than the Andes. (4.5)
The 2026 mix is astonishing
ik dacht dat ik dit album beter vond eerlijk gezegd. killer queen en in the lap of the gods zijn wel echt bangers
Cool
Bien.
favs: killer queen lily of the valley in the lap of the gods in the lap of the gods... revisited rating 1.5/5
This is such an exciting album to listen to and feels like Queen reaching the peak of their powers. I massively enjoyed the stadium rock style, complemented by the utterly brilliant vocals of Freddy Mercury and instrumental energy from the band. The majority of the tracks are vibrant, cheeky & catchy, making for a super fun listen. There are 2-3 songs that feel like filler tracks but aside from those this is a brilliant record.
Can't go wrong with a bit of Queen. Mercury's voice is an all-timer, May's guitar work is something to behold, and the rhythm section of Taylor and Deacon is tight as hell. So why the lower rating? Well, it's not that cohesive as an album on the whole. I found the first half to be stronger than the last, and a few songs felt a little over-the-top with their theatrics. It's a mixed bag, but I still enjoyed myself here. Favourite track: Brighton Rock Least favourite track: In The Lap Of The Gods
Never really my band of choice, a little too flamboyant for my tastes, but their complexity and musicality are simply too high to deny their talents.
So Freddy didn't sing lead on every song? I noticed that on track 3! This is an amazing energetic, frenetic, soncially interesting. I love that they cover Metallica's Stone Cold Crazy (jk), I know this version came first. The album is operatic and hard rocking. I like this enough that if someone put it on, I would revisit this befor A Night at the Opera because I know that one inside out.
Solid album.
Akkurat elsker jeg det, så forskjellig fra hva jeg pleier å høre på, på den beste måten. Den er kul og høy kvalitet, liker hvordan det er mye instrumenter og kul tempo. Første sangen var drit kul, neste sang kunne jeg også drit kul. Det var mye mer variert en jeg trodde sånn dear friend og killer queen er veldig forskjellig vibe liksom. Det var egentlig så fint å høre ny musikk- men også litt skremmende fordi jeg liker å høre på sangene flere ganger og liker å vite at jeg liker sangen før jeg hører på men dette er også bra
Je crois pas m'être deja posé pour écouter un album de queen, et c'était pas mal
Killer Queen c'est un putain de classique qui peut monter l'album très très haut. Sur le reste beaucoup de musiques que j'avais jamais écouté et qui sont très sympa, mais moins marquantes...
Mostly decent debut. Stone Cold Crazy and Killer Queen are definitely the highlights. They would get more interesting on subsequent releases though.
Bueno
Liked!
Not bad
Very theatrical! Good listening!
Pretty much everything you want in a Queen album
It’s a Queen album.
Discazo, puro temardo re variado, alta guitarra y Killer Queen es un stand facherazo. Sape sape
Just a little over the top, musical-esque nonsense. I see why it's beloved but it's impossible to listen to for pure enjoyment.
Almost perfect, I actually freaking loved it! Best Queen album ive listened to so far! Very enjoyable!
What a voice this Mercury guy has! I bet he has the pick of all the ladies.
Not bad
(4/7) fun overall but "Killer Queen" is the only thing that stood out
Jeg er ikke sikker på, at det er min yndlings Queen album, men det er 100% det bedst repræsentative for hvordan de skal lyde. No skips
Killer Queen er KLART det bedste nummer, men det er alt sammen ret godt. Kan nok være en virkelig god plade hvis jeg er i humør til den slags, det var jeg vist ikke helt i dag
Loads of great songs. Just high class all around. 3+
Not my favorite of Queen, overall good.
este album contiene killer queen. nada más para agregar. classic queen album, si bien no llega a ser de mis favoritos (the game y the works top) este album no se queda atrás. Revisando su catálogo este es el album previo a a night at the opera y tiene todo el sentido del mundo, una digna introducción a lo que sería uno de los albumes más icónicos de todos los tiempos.
C’était fort sympathique ! J’ai jamais été un grand fan de Queen, mais je sais que le groupe est légendaire. Cela dit, cet album m’a un tout petit peu laissé sur ma faim, sûrement parce que j’en attends énormément du groupe. Et je pense qu’avec plus d’écoutes, je finirais par l’adorer. Enfin, ça reste un album riche, plein de bonnes idées, mais je pense que je préfère la facette plus grandiose et puissante du groupe qu’on retrouve dans leurs chansons les plus connues. Bon, il est temps que je me penche plus sérieusement sur Queen. Cet album est dans ma wishlist, désormais.
This Freddie Mercury guy is pretty good at writing songs. A bit better than the rest of his band I would say.
This was great
really enjoyed this
Good Stuff. Classic rock precursor.
imo spoko pozatym to queen wiec nawet 5 dam
Not much to say, it’s just mid.
7/10 Best songs: Tenement Funster Second Queen album of the project, and interestingly, I've never heard (or heard of) a single one of these songs. In terms of album construction, this one is terrific, with each song cleanly flowing into the next, and a nice variety of heavier rock songs and ballads. Overall quite good.
Freddie Mercury is a beautiful soul, the whole Queen gestalt is great. I enjoyed many of the songs on this album, but their catalog is so large, it's hard to condense the love into any one album.
You can definitely hear the early themes of Bohemian Rhapsody and all kinds of heavy metal influences. It's disjointed but there isn't a dull song on here.
never listened to queen beyond the hits, very interesting to hear some of the diversity of sound on this album
God save the Queen
Have I listened to this album before? No How familiar am I with this album? I know a lot of of the songs How do I feel about this artist? Love Queen Pre-Listen Thoughts: I’m excited for this one, I think it’s gonna be a good one Favorite track(s): Misfire, Flick of the Wrist, Killer Queen, Stone Cold Crazy Post-Listen Thoughts: I honestly didn’t know when one song ended the next began, and I mean that in a good way. Sometimes when songs run together in an album it’s because it’s dragging and they all sound the same, with this it’s because this album had a great flow to it. I even liked the slow songs and I’m usually not one for rock ballads, I’ve never loved Queen’s slower hits.
Can't say it's the most mind blowing album of theirs but solely for Killer Queen it deserves a top mark for sure.
None of the famous big hits but an interesting album with good songs and unique sound.
She's a killer queeeeennnn googbye eternity
Almost 200 in and I finally get a Queen album! I think I only knew 1 or 2 of these songs going in "Killer Queen" for sure, which is great. That song, "Now I'm Here" and "Stone Cold Crazy" were the standouts for me, but I did also enjoy "Brighton Rock" and "Flick of the Wrist". I was just generally surprised at how "hard rock" this was but not in a bad way.
7.5
i really liked this! saved most of them, all except brighton rock, tenement funster, dear friends, and bring back that leroy brown. the transitions were AWESOME, especially from tenement funster through now i’m here. my top 3: 3- lily of the valley 2- flock of the wrist 1- in the lap of the gods. AWESOME. jammed the fuck out, sounds great in airpods
Excelente disco de unos jóvenes Queen con ganas de comerse el mundo.
Foda! Tive uma fase que eu ouvia muito Queen, e tinha música que eu nem lembrava mais e que deu uma nostalgia foda ouvir. Os caras são muito bons. Que som foda e único, a harmonia de vozes deles é sempre fudida, imagino o trampo pra fazer isso. Stone Cold Crazy, Now I'm Here e Bring Back me tiraram um sorriso. Por mais que só tenha Killer Queen de MUITO famosa aqui, vou dar 5 estrelas por que foi bom do início ao fim, e trouxe uma nostalgia foda que não esperava.
Não sabia que Queen tinha músicas tão pesadas, foi uma surpresa engraçada
Acho que não ha maus álbuns de queen
Killer Queen is the best song of the album
Queens best stuff is amazing, There is half an amazing album here and half a less than average album. Dear Friends is a nice track that I hadnt really paid attention to before.
Me encanta queen
my first full queen album after a life of only knowing their biggest hits, and unfortunately this shit rocks :( this album has fantastic audio mixing throughout, is consistently energetic and exciting without ever being cacophonous, avoids all the glam metal cliches I was scared of running into, and features no shortage of beautiful Freddie Mercury vocals. their other albums are gonna have to do some crazy shit to top this
This website is definitley making me learn things about myself… when I first saw that this was a Queen album I mentally already marked it as 5 stars because I obviously know their most famous songs and love them to death and have listened to them millions of times and assumed the rest of their work would most probably appeal to me similarly.. but! I found that I didn’t really like this album that much. Shocking! I only liked Killer Queen and In The Lap of Gods. The rest was too rock-y for me. I can appreciate that their sound is unique and you just KNOW this is Queen when listening, but I just didn’t like the sound that much.. don’t kill me but.. 3 stars is what I’m giving. Not because I think it’s a mediocre album, but I rate based on how much I personally like the sound of the music.
Queen's critically important shift away from prog.
Fun to hear an early Queen album in its entirety. You can hear all of the opera experimentations taking shape.
Its great sonically but really no emotional pull for me. I generally like to feel something when I listen to my music, this felt like fun, but no feelings.
the album is a masterpiece 4.5/5
Anything by Queen gets a 5. That’s just the rules.
good! I like queen
A classic album suffering from the wrong first song Brighton rock would be great if it was 2.5 mins long - the whole guitar section is just dull Queen are like a rocky version of sparks , bombastic songs with a musical theater bent Generally good and only stopped from being great by a couple of songs
Please kill me
Nej, jag orkar inte ens lyssna. Men jag vet att det är dåligt.
Nej tack!
Musikalrock undanbedes.
Woowowow what a blast of a record. I absolutely adored this one!! I especially loved a lot of the varied guitar and drums, bright sparkling piano inbetween, and of course Freddie's beautiful voice. I was pleasantly surprised also by the panning from left to right on a multitude of songs, it really gave a sense of space! No real misses on this album for me, I even think the somber piano songs have their place here as a break from the high energy rock. Highlights: Brighton Rock, KQ (obviously), Stone Cold Crazy, Now I'm Here, Tenement Funster, Flick of the Wrist. For the slower songs, Dear Friends I enjoyed the most. It's an album so good I may just listen to it twice today...
Alright
It’s a bit excessive and not universally brilliant but it’s a fun and listenable album with a sprinkling of classics. A generous 4.
This was the first time I ever listened to a Queen album. It's a lot, which was bearable for most times, but there was times it was too theatrically/out there and it didn't land on my ears well.
Didn't listen to the whole thing.
Queen is a "Greatest Hits" band for me. I am only listening to their full albums now. I love their theatrical lean and guitar tones. I found some of this album to be remarkable and some to be boring. The backwards guitar tone on Lily of the Valley is SO GOOD, but it's just the one moment, why didn't they repeat that 100 times? I should have produced this album! I'm really torn if this should be a 3 or 4. I hate to rank it the same as a GnR album, but here we are.
How did this end up between Queen II and A Night at the Opera? This album seems to lean into the "hard" rock stuff which comes off wimpy, and the glam and theatricality which (despite myself) carries the latter album and Queen's otherwise career just isn't there yet. Killer Queen is of course the exception, but yeah, nothing album otherwise. Weird middle ground.
I’m an unapologetic Queen fan. But I’m not sure I’ve ever heard this album… And I hadn’t. But man was it good. Not A Night at the Opera, but so good. I did say I was unapologetic. So 5 it is. Boolean: yes, very glad I got to hear before I die
It’s a good queen album. It’s not their best.
For me, Sheer Heart Attack is Queen at their sharpest and hungriest—the moment when everything clicked. It’s wildly eclectic yet somehow lean, jumping from proto‑punk bite (“Stone Cold Crazy”) to music‑hall theatrics (“Killer Queen”) without ever feeling indulgent. The band sounds fearless here: Brian May’s chiming guitars, Freddie Mercury’s playful menace and theatrical flair, and a rhythm section that swings hard but knows when to keep it tight. There’s invention in every track, but also real grit—less polish, more fire. Later albums may be grander, but Sheer Heart Attack feels alive in a way the rest never quite match. Simply the best album Queen made.
chemistry 11 teacher music lol
killer queen e muito bom o resto e ok
All the hallmarks of the band are there still being refined. A tad uneven. Some excellent songs, others can be skipped.
Always been a fan of Queen. Mostly their 70s and early 80s stuff. This one is one of my favorites. Lots of heavy songs, tempered with some prog/glam stuff. The only negative is the number of shorter tracks. I've said before in other reviews - let the songs breath a bit. 4.5 stars.
The Tenement Funster/Flick of the Wrist/Lily of the Valley suite is five stars alone! There are also some pretty cool more well known songs on here as well.
I'm a big fan of Queen, but since they were originally popular a bit before I started getting into music, I really only know their hits. So, it was fun to listen to an album that has a couple of songs that I know very well and love, and then other songs I've never heard before. What I love about Queen is that you always know a Queen song as soon as you hear it, yet their songs are quite diverse in style. Loved listening to this album. It has some killer Brian May guitar work on it!
Queen can rock when they want to. Any time they are rocking is good for me. I really don't enjoy the things that probably differentiate Queen from other rock bands of the era like the operatic vocal harmonies etc. Like if you have a sweet fat 70's guitar riff and then someone offers to do barbershop over it, now you just have something lesser than the constituent parts.
This is my third Queen album in this project. The other two were pretty early on, and I was writing shorter comments at the time. When I listened to A Night at the Opera I gushed about how it was one of the first real "rock" albums I ever bought when it came out. When I listened to Queen II I commented about how I thought Night at the Opera might be the only Queen album I really liked. Listening to Sheer Heart Attack today I had that same thought. I think Queen was a band that was in search of itself for the first three albums, and then once they found out who they were they just expanded on the theme, and IMO never as good after that. The only song I truly enjoyed on this album was Killer Queen, which I've heard thousands of times before. The rest was either uninteresting to me, or kinda silly. Songs I thought I might like, and want to save, went places that I ended up not liking and not wanting to save. I do think the production was very good, for what it's worth.
Part of the reason why I want to do The List is so I can figure out who's All Killer & No Filler. This is one of those albums that appear to be all Filler, very little Killer with Killer Queen being the hit to casual fans. BUT? Is it Filler? Somebody likes those other songs. It's opinion. My favorite song on the album is not going to be same as yours but it could be. Queen's music tends to be Everything & Anything. So you'll have an interesting music of genres & sounds. Falsetto, Metal, operatic music, piano driven ballads, rockabilly, hard rock, more falsetto & of course Freddie Fuckin' Mercury.
QUEEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LATIFAH I´m excited, never heard an album from them have more than 11 songs!!! Amusement park in Brighton, i love this type of ritmic. Freddie´s voice is soooooo good on this and........BRAIN SLIPT. The vocals are SHIVERING and have a long guitar riff. Jenny didn´t knew about Jimmy´s lady? minute 1:8 to 1:27 É POESIA ACÚSTICA. 7 de 10 Killer Queen is a smash. A letra tem uma conotação sexual, apesar de ter efeitos MUITO tops e quando ele chega na Maria Antonieta é fascinante. Uma vez que percebe é dificil desver. Ouviria só os 33 segundos iniciais. 6.5 de 10 A whole new vibe, for the album, with Tenement Funster. Have nice riffs and i liked some phrases. Have brain split as well(panning). 6.8 de 10 A TRANSIÇÃO FOI TÃO SUAVE QUE EU NEM NOTEI Flick of the wrist intro remind me of Rebelde way. A very 80s song(which makes this innovative). Nice riffs(Heavy Inês) and a lyric that’s interesting(they really like telling stories). 9.2 de 10 A SMOOTH TRANSITION AGAIN!!!!!! Lily of The Valley is a calm, but powerful song. A doubtful person. I like the sound and vocal. Agora que vi O Lily como Cristo, a música perdeu o sparkle. 6.2 out of 10 BRAIN SPLIT on Now I’m Here. Nice riffs, very rockfish. I can think of Jesus on this one. The fading. 7.5 de 10 Hard punk on Stone Cold crazy. Didn’t heard this whole btw. Very rockfish Dear friend is nice, a lullaby. 8 de 10 Guitar!!!! Misfire is good song, but my mind is too dirty, I can think of Christ tho. 8 de 10 Leroy is a bad guy. Cuphead vibes. A fresh in the darkness(but the singer wants to Killy him). 6 de 10 A nice ending with She makes me so. It’s different from the others, like Misfire. But why the sirens? 8 de 10 É um álbum bom, mas Köller Queen deu um tom que eu não queria. Acho que é bem criativo, mas infelizmente não passa no teste
Pro: Ist Queen Con: Viel Füllkrempel, der immer nach demselben Programm abläuft. Wenn Freddie nicht so eine krasse Stimme hätte und Brian so einen krassen Gitarrensound wäre das schwer erträglich In diesem Fall - und vermutlich nur hier - würde ich erstmals raten, lieber ein Best of anzuhören. Gewinnt nichts dadurch, dass es ein eigenes Album ist. Die Lieder könnten auch in Random Reihenfolge laufen, es wäre genauso.
kann mich nicht richtig erinnern...
Good album, maybe one of the weaker Queen albums but still high above most newer stuff
Indiscriminately horny without being at all erotic. A big theatrical rocky proggy mess. Every song seems to think it's the last number before intermission, what is even happening here? I love it.
Queria muito ouvir esse Brighton Rock é uma puta opening de álbum Killer Queen despensa comentários Tenement Funster é zika, o Freddie n canta e combinou muito Eu amo as melodias (vocais e instrumentais) que essa banda faz, é sensacional, principalmente quando adiciona piano Lilly of The Valley é um exemplo, que ngc lindo In the lap of the gods engrossaram a voz do Freddie e n colou As transições dessas três ficaram muito insanas inclusive Stone Cold Crazy prova que os membros do Queen sabem tocar com velocidade O tanto de piano e harmonia vocal que tem aqui é putaria, isso é insano Misfire é a única que eu achei abaixo de 8 Leroy Brown tbm, deu uma decaída de perfeição de todas pra notas de 7-8 individualmente, o que obviamente não tira os créditos de isso ser nota maior que 4 O álbum se bagunça dps de Misfire, não de um jeito ruim necessariamente, mas decai minimamente a qualidade Queen merece sim o reconhecimento que tem, até as mais desconhecidas são maravilhosas As harmonias melódicas do Freddie são um destaque em quase tudo, e o uso do piano para acompanhar isso é perfeito (pegou no meu ponto fraco) Essa última versão de lap of the gods é muito foda o que é isso??? Resume todas as características boas presente no projeto e que eu citei Pessoalmente daria um 9/10 / 4.5/5, mas arredondo para 5
The only song on this album I like is “Killer Queen” - the rest - No thanks
Killer queen on its own makes this at least 2 stars, the rest is very skipable
I think I've been finding that my status as a Queen fan is 'Fairweather fan', as in I enjoy the hits and the rest just kinda miss.
Proud to be a Queen hater. 4/10
I love this album with all my heart i love Queen
😎 Cool! I was very excited to explore an entire Queen album, especially when I had never heard of before. I found this to be enjoyable...... But ultimately pretty forgettable.
Love listening to Queen outside of a greatest hits context. It can't be a 5 due to a weak song or two, "She Makes Me" which is dreadful, but the rock heavy opening is really strong. Definitely one I'd revisit. Keen to hear more Queen albums.
A Classic. Queen doing an intro to their, next, biggest work. Must have, must listen, must love.
Omg so fun, and blend of genres👌✨
Liked it, didn’t love.
Like it 3/5
Theatrical and energetic. Tight harmonies and big guitar riffs. Quintessential Queen.
Good album. Certainly not their best, but good stuff. This is a the first Queen album on this list which I did not realize until this popped up. That is surprising given the love of British bands by the author.
Hmm, can't say I had very many thoughts about it. Probably good to listen to in the background if you're driving or working.
Queen is at their best when they're at their most theatrical, and there are times here when they fully commit, but other times where they don't. Songs like Stone Cold Crazy, In The Lap of the Gods, and the first two tracks fulfill the genre label of "glam rock", sounding both epic and ridiculously fun. Other tracks feel a lot more dull, and like they could be made by any random 70s band. They don't go full hard rock, but they aren't particularly theatrical either, so they just don't emotionally register for me. Of course, the standout part of the album is Freddie Mercury, who more than proves why he's considered one of the greatest performers ever. The worst thing that a band like Queen can be is dull, and unfortunately on this album, they fall into that trap too many times.
Súper rockero me encanto
Más rockerito que el anterior pero menos experimental que me parece que es donde brilla queen. Cool pero no tan cool.
Nunca había escuchado este disco. Por lo que leí es recién el 3er disco de la banda. Ya en el segundo tema muestran lo que todos sabemos que es Queen, Killer Queen, GRAN TEMA, obvio lo había escuchado alguna vez, pero no lo conocia. Despues hay otra versión de Queen que no conocía tanto, que es un rock un poco mas "heavy" no llega a ser pesado pero tiene cositas, no conocía esta faceta. Flick of the Wrist me gustó bastante che, underrated. Uff como engancha Tenement Fuster con Flick of the Wrist y esta después con Lily of The Valley. ME ENCANTA. Además son moods completamente distintos, va bajando la intensidad. Muy bueno. Bueno ahí lei bien y el albúm es tal cual, la banda venia de hard rock y en este disco se nota mucho esa trancisión desde un rock más pesado como en temas como "Brighton Rock", "Tenement Fuster" o "Stone Cold Crazy", bajando unos cambios y llegando a canciones muy estilo el Queen que conozco que es el que es más melódico, más suave, más Queen, con temas como "Killer Queen", "Lily of The Valley" o "In the Lap of the Gods". El disco en sí me gustó mucho, recorrí muchas caras de Queen y muchos temas underrated. Gran disco. 8/10
Sounds like a mix of rock opera and the precursor to hairmetal mixed, it has the signature freddie mercury effortlessness and overall i love this album. i also loved how it ended with a callback to track 7. 4/5 album
Fun album, really like the melody of Killer Queen.
good actually
QUEEN TOP TOP TOP, increíbles guitarras la nta
That transition between Flick of the Wrist and Lilly of the valley is just so amazing. I used to be a huge Queen fan a few years ago but drifted away from them a bit recently, really refreshing to listen to my old favourite album again.
I can only imagine how cool it must have been to be a teenager when this came out. Unfortunately when I was a teenager everyone I knew was listening to Brendon Urie. Anyways, good album. Felt a little all over the place ranging from iconic to uncomfortable (for me). A solid 3. Season: Early Summer Favorite Song: Killer Queen
a fan!
I never considered Queen something special and this album didn't change my mind. Very mediocre and forgettable.
Like the other two Queen albums we've gotten on this list, I think this one is definitely carried by its hits. That said, several of the non-hits on here were just as good, and while I still put this as a 7/10 alongside the other two, I think this one might've done the best of the three as an album experience - helped along by how consistently hard it rocks!
This is kinda the same as all the other Queen albums for me. A couple great songs (in this case, the first two) and a bunch of decent but largely forgettable ones.
This might be Queen's hardest-rocking album, and relatively light on their signature theatrics and goofiness. When you disregard their greatest hits, they have a very unique flavour of glam rock that people seem to either love of hate. I've come to quite enjoy it! Standouts: Brighton Rock • Killer Queen • Flick of the Wrist • Bring Back That Leroy Brown • In The Lap Of Gods... Revisited
Another middle of the road album by Queen! There was a brief period where this absolutely killed and I thought it might be a 4 but it backslid hard in the second half and they started doing silly bullshit again.
Great!
A pretty enjoyable ride on this one. A variety of styles throughout; the transition from Stone Cold Crazy to Dear Friends could give one whiplash. Not perfect, but really fun.
Theatrical and ridiculous.
The album wasn't bad, but it is an example of even a band made up of highly talented musician won't always create a good album.
There’s something naff about Queen, but this is probably (in my opinion) their best era. Sci-fi, operatic and some fun tunes
This is 5 stars plus all the way. Best album by far on here.
tbh more boring than the coldplay album; not terrible, but sooo boring
Cok iyi la skip yok abartilmis falan degil queen babadir In The Lap Of The Gods Tenement Funster Brighton Rock
Love Queen ❤️
Suprisingly good
Очень странный альбом Queen. Никогда не был фанатом их оперного рока, но здесь даже ни одного хита нет.
Only 1 good song, Killer Queen
Obvious tracks stand out, stormtrooper in stilettos good, little theatrical to my taste at poibtw
Listens: 2 Standout Tracks: Killer Queen I don't much care for glam rock, and I am discovering that I really only like Queen's greatest hits, of which that album has one song. As such, this is unexciting to me.
Not my best Queen pick, Still love killer queen
After one listen I had this at a 2 with no plans to listen again. The.listened again anyway and liked it a little more. Every time I listen I like it more. It’s a mood dependent album for sure but overall, pretty good. Killer Queen is of course the best song.
Fajne
Me gustó escuchar algo totalmente nuevo de una banda popular. No soy Super fan de Queen pero la verdad las canciones estaban chéveres, se salen de su zona de confort y se valora
LFG boys. Someone said "Let's end this album with a bang" and Queen took it literally. I love whatever's wrong with them.
Never listened to a Queen album before, but I love Bohemian Rhapsody. This is an interesting album, I think some of the chord progressions and riffs are unique. I’m not sure I like all the songs on this album, but Lap of the Gods is very good. I like side two better than side one. If side two was its own album, I’d give it five stars. 4/5
Hell yeah Queen
The drama, very interesting to listen to, the absolute opposite of background music.
C'est bon Queen mais chaque fois que j'en entends, j'ai vraiment hâte que ça finisse.
It seems odd to think of the band's third album as still being proto-Queen, but this is still very much that. You can hear the transition from the more proggy leanings of their first two albums to the more ostentatious Glam Rock that's really the band's signature style. Even with that, it's a pretty cohesive record, though as is standard with Queen albums, the singles stand out much more than the album tracks, so while the three-song Tenement Funster/Flick of the Wrist/Lily of the Valley is a very solid trio and Brian May's guitar solo on "Brighton Rock" does indeed rock, none of them can hold a candle to "Killer Queen."
QUEEENNNNN- killer queen is an all time favourite
Some really good songs on here, but not the most cohesive, but man, some of those songs are good
it's like Beatles and the epicness of opera had a child. I see the heart put in this work, it really shows the character of the band. It's not my genre but i have to admit that this is a great album.
Decent Queen album, but notably weaker than a lot of their discography in my opinion. A few bangers songs and nice transitions between songs on the A side make this a fun listen, but definitely not Queen at the height of their ability. Top tracks: Killer Queen, Now I'm Here, Stone Cold Crazy
I’m so used to constantly hearing Queen’s hits on the radio, but I’ve never sat to listen to an album. This one rocks. The band are extremely talented, Freddy Mercury had an amazing voice. The songs are cool.
Bring Back that Leroy Brown was highly unexpected.
This is #day614 of my #1001albumsyoumusthearbeforeyoudie challenge, and… here's some sheer hard/glam rock from the mid-'70s, aka my third and final Queen album. Now, Queen is one of those classic rock bands I like, so listening to this, possibly for the very first time in a proper start-to-finish manner, was a pleasure. That said, I wouldn't rank Sheer Heart Attack among the "must-hear-before-you-die" records on the level of A Night at the Opera or Queen II (the other two that are on the list). It's solid, but if I had to pick a third, I'd go with News of the World, Innuendo, or, say, The Miracle. "Killer Queen" is a staple, of course. Still, this is a 4 out of 5. Looking forward to #day615.
Not as bangin as I wanted, but still real good
Great
i love u freddie mercury
Absolute banger, goes hard
I got bored.
Mejor tema killer queen lejos
8/10 Buen album, buenos ritmos, no aburre pero tampoco molesta, no es mi favorito de Queen, pero me gusta
could have been a bit more polished, queen has better records but this one is also worth it, as there debut album its considerably good
Always awesome
Hi han uns quants temazos, bastant bo
Smack dab between 'Queen II' and 'A Night at the Opera', Queen leans into harder rock here as they continued to curate their signature sound. There's still room for the more showy and operatic pieces too, of course! "Brighton Rock" is an incredible starter, featuring one of Brian May's most iconic solos to establish the energy that this album brings. Immediately following, "Killer Queen" gives us a classic display of Freddie Mercury's vocals/harmonies in a more glam rock showing. Other highlights include the medley of tracks #3-5, as well as an early example of thrash metal in "Stone Cold Crazy". Maybe not the most commercial Queen album, but I personally felt this to be Queen's most cohesive & interesting work that I've heard from this list specifically. The group was evolving and you can pretty much hear it right in this album.
킬러퀸은 최고의 스탠드이기 이전에 최고의 싱글이었다
7/10
This is my third Queen album on this list. A lot more meat and potatoes than the other two, well executed in every department but still not for me. Hopefully there aren’t any more.
Every song here stands out from each other. Favourite Songs: Brighton Rock, Killer Queen, Flick of the Wrist, Stone Cold Crazy. Least Favourite Songs: Dear Friends, Misfire.
Fantastic again but I think I prefer Night at the Opera. Flick of the Rist and Get Back Leroy Brown are two new favourites.
Lindo, pero monótono
The intro all the way to track 7 is great, and the rest is just alright to me.
Classic album with an incredible opener.
Oh yeah. This album did gangbusters on the middle school iPod. I think this is when Queen figured it out. They finally found a way to marry all their impulses and ideas into an album that manages to be diverse, interesting, and focused. This takes off in a way that the preceding albums did not, despite their competence. Seamless fusion of hard rock and pop into glam. It’s actually better as a whole than I remember. What a fucking banger.
Queens beste album no doubt about it
Goeie
I think I need to rethink my stance of Queen being a singles band. This fuckin rules.
variado, buenas transiciones killer queen, stone cold crazy y she makes me favs
Crazy complex vocals and great songs
Love Queen.
Never listened to too many deep tracks by Queen. Good, but had to rate in the middle.
Lily of the valley Stone cold crazy Bring back that Leroy brown In the lap of gods 7/10!
Plano a mi gusto se siente repetitivo
Brought up on Queen. Don’t mind listening but wouldn’t be my go to
Queen igen. Den kickar igång bra med Brighton Rock och flera bra efterföljande låtar. Tappar intresset efter halva skivan, allt har samma Queensound och det blir tröttsamt i längden. 3:a.
1st song is decent, though the second part with the guitar solo really got my attention. Is the 2nd song a JoJo reference? Haha. Heard this one before; one of their most popular songs to come across. “Tenement Funster gets really fun and harmonious. 1:27 - 1:50 guitar just letting it rip; lovely section. The use of stereo effect is so good in general. 2:10-2:21 Vocals are sun kissed. AND THE TRANSITION TO THE NEXT SONG IS NUTS. 4th song good. Transition to 5th is also good, but not as cool as the previous one 5th song quite short; has a bit of downtempo and somber vibes. Song 6, Now I’m here started off good. Felt like it built up the song well. Song 7: interesting use of voice distortion. Sounds dreamy. Organ chords ( I think) sounds futuristic or ET like. Stone Cold Crazy is high energy; drums are much heavier here; the hook is literally one line but it’s catchy. Could be a favourite. Song 9 is a complete juxtaposition of the previous song. Slow tempo; just piano and vocals. Barley over a minute; sounds like an interlude Misfire, song 10 is upbeat, fun and groovy. Amazing chorus. Good practical use of stereo panning. Reminds me of the Beatles rubber soul era. Replayed it again after it ended. Song 11 is cool, sound to me they took inspiration from jazz Song 12 is psychedelic ; downtempo. Sounds like walking through a mysterious haze Last song… I preferred the previous song as the ender
GOD.
A whole album from this era of Queen is just too much of everything. The highs are great but a lot of this album is the guys futzing around.
Not the best Queen album but i thoroughly enjoyed it. 3.9/5
This is a proper mixed bag! I'm not a massive fan of Queen, but this has some of my favourite and least favourite Queen songs on it. "It's always a hit or miss so take your aim" perfectly sums it up. I must give a mention to Leroy Brown because, although I didn't like it, it was a great listen and I was not aware Queen had a song in this style. Favourites: Brighton Rock Killer Queen Stone Cold Crazy
Another new-to-me classic rock classic. I've never been a fan of the glam, operatic, overdub barbershop harmonies Queen. Their talent as a band is always obvious, but I haven't enjoyed their greatest hits. So, I was surprised how much I enjoyed this. First, Brian May. I get it now. Brian May is incredible, and without his playing this album wouldn't even be possible much less enjoyable. Second, Freddy Mercury, but that didn't surprise me, I expected that going in. Most of Queen's ubiquitous hits don't really show off Brian May like they show off Freddy Mercury, but this album does. But yeah, the over-the-top production still puts me out of it quite often, and the rock edges are too often smoothed out, and the second half of the album lags a bit. 4/5. Belongs on the list definitely, but I wouldn't include it on my personal list. In my book Queen is staggering talent that's largely buried in production. I tend to value music you can imagine being played in a bar, and these could only be contained in a stadium.
Cool prog stuff going on, but it’s not their best album.
The album where Queen fully came into their own.
Queen has everything I enjoy to listen to on paper. Tight vocal harmonies and incredible vocal talent in Freddie Mercury should be enough to sell me on their stuff, alongside nostalgia for so many of their hits. But after two Queen albums on this list, I can't help but just feel whelmed. I just don't think the genre is something I would want to listen to ad nauseum. But really going through the tracks here, despite just-ok impression the album as a whole left me, I think there's really not a low point on it. Sure there are moments in some songs I don't care for (I'm really not a huge fan of some of Freddie Mercury's falsetto), but each song stuck in my memory even days after listening, which is a good enough sign for me to bump this one up to a 4-star rating. Highlights: Brighton Rock Killer Queen Flick Of The Wrist Dear Friends Lowlight: She Makes Me (Stormtrooper In Stilettos)
well who doesnt love queen.
rightfully a classic. this is probably my favorite queen album, but that is almost an impossible choice to make. such good stuff here, and i'm still perplexed that "flick of the wrist" didn't become one of their big songs, at least not here in the US
Me encantaaaaaa
