Digitally remastered edition of the British Pomp Rock band's 1974 album. Sheer Heart Attack, Roger Taylor's favorite Queen album, was released in 1974 and reached #2 in the UK. Prior to this, Queen were mostly considered a heavy Rock band, but this album experimented with a variety of musical genres, including music hall, Heavy Metal, ballads and Ragtime. At this point, Queen started to move away from the progressive tendencies of their first two releases into a more radio-friendly, song-orientated style, illustrated by 'Killer Queen', which was their biggest hit at that point reaching #2 in the UK. It also went to #12 in the US Billboard Charts, the first of many hits there. A song about a high-class call girl, it contains the guitar solo that Brian May is most proud of and won Freddie his first Ivor Novello Award. Island. Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine Queen II was a breakthrough in terms of power and ambition, but Queen's third album Sheer Heart Attack was where the band started to gel. It followed quickly on the heels of the second record -- just by a matter of months; it was the second album they released in 1974 -- but it feels like it had a longer incubation period, so great is the progress here. Which isn't quite to say that Sheer Heart Attack is flawless -- it still has a tendency to meander, sometimes within a song itself, as when the killer opening "Brighton Rock" suddenly veers into long stretches of Brian May solo guitar -- but all these detours do not distract from the overall album, they're in many ways the key to the record itself: it's the sound of Queen stretching their wings as they learn how to soar to the clouds. There's a genuine excitement in hearing all the elements to Queen's sound fall into place here, as the music grows grander and catchier without sacrificing their brutal, hard attack. One of the great strengths of the album is how all four members find their voices as songwriters, penning hooks that are big, bold, and insistent and crafting them in songs that work as cohesive entities instead of flourishes of ideas. This is evident not just in "Killer Queen" -- the first, best flourishing of Freddie Mercury's vaudevillian camp -- but also on the pummeling "Stone Cold Crazy," a frenzied piece of jagged metal that's all the more exciting because it has a real melodic hook. Those hooks are threaded throughout the record, on both the ballads and the other rockers, but it isn't just that this is poppier, it's that they're able to execute their drama with flair and style. There are still references to mystical worlds ("Lily of the Valley," "In the Lap of Gods") but the fantasy does not overwhelm as it did on the first two records; the theatricality is now wielded on everyday affairs, which ironically makes them sound larger than life. And this sense of scale, combined with the heavy guitars, pop hooks, and theatrical style, marks the true unveiling of Queen, making Sheer Heart Attack as the moment where they truly came into their own. 1 Brighton Rock May, Queen 5:10 2 Killer Queen Mercury 3:00 3 Tenement Funster Queen , Taylor 2:47 4 Flick of the Wrist Mercury 3:17 5 Lily of the Valley Mercury, Queen 1:44 6 Now I'm Here May 4:14 7 In the Lap of the Gods Mercury, Queen 3:22 8 Stone Cold Crazy Queen 2:16 9 Dear Friends May 1:08 10 Misfire Deacon, Queen 1:49 11 Bring Back That Leroy Brown Mercury, Queen 2:15 12 She Makes Me (Stormtrooper in Stilettoes) May, Queen 4:09 13 In the Lap of the Gods...Revisited Mercury, Queen 3:45 DISC TWO 1.

ABBREVIATIONS USED IN LISTING HEADINGS: OOP = OUT OF PRINT HTF = HARD TO FIND s/t = SAME TITLE JPN = JAPANESE IMP = IMPORT IMPORT INFORMATION: Any CD that says in the description "import" JAPANESE or otherwise is in ENGLISH as the regular Domestic ones are. The lyrics and artwork are all the same and in english. They are usually more desirable due to the superior mastering on a lot of them. REMASTERED INFORMATION: Any CD that says REMASTERED means that it is the original recordings but they have been REMASTERED. In other words they have usually taken the ORIGINAL LABEL MASTER TAPES and REMASTERED them into the digital format for FAR SUPERIOR SOUND QUALITY. A lot of the older CD's had been rushed released and they used poor quality reference masters. The newer Remasters not only benifit from the original first generation mix-down masters but the newer technology in equipment that is available recently has improved the sound quality dramatically. These are NOT re-recordings. They are the original recordings. H D C D INFORMATION: This is a format in CD mastering that improves on sound quality and adds to the band width available. Any CD that says H D C D plays on any CD player but sounds even better on a player with H D C D compatibility. I do not sell CDR's so anything you are bidding on is a regular retail CD.
