Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Sheer Heart Attack is a Queen album that has something for nearly everyone. There's glam, progrock, guitar pyrotechnics to spare (check out Brian May's shape-shifting performances on "Brighton Rock" and "Flick of the Wrist"), proto-speed-metal ("Stone Cold Crazy"), and Queen's unique brand of campy humor ("America's new bride to be / Don't worry, baby, I'm safe and sound," Freddie Mercury declares on "Now I'm Here," a Queen concert staple). The group takes a rocked-up turn at ragtime on "Bring Back That Leroy Brown" and downshifts memorably on the spare piano-and-voice interludes "Lily of the Valley" and "Dear Friends." Best of all is the wicked rock-and-harmony showcase "Killer Queen," the group's first international smash. If you need a reminder of everything that was right about rock's old guard before punks stormed the gates, look no further. --Daniel Durchholz

It sounds fantastic on the record player

February 10, 2018

Format: VinylVerified Purchase

A superb album from my youth. I received a record player for Christmas, and so I've been working on getting some of the albums I used to listen to when I was younger. This was one of the first albums I ever had, so naturally I had to get this one. This is a much thicker album (180 grams, I believe) so obviously it's much heavier. The album arrived well packed and I have not noticed any problems such as warps or scratches. It sounds fantastic on the record player, so I'm very happy with this purchase.

Another quality 180 gram pressing. I find it kind of odd that the title of this album is Sheer Heart Attack, but the actual song is on News of the World. Killer Queen, Lily of the Valley, In the Lap of the Gods and Stone Cold Crazy are just a few of my favorites from this album. Vinyl sounds great and lays pretty flat. Another album for the collector.

Where Queen found their sound (4.5 stars)

February 27, 2011

Format: Audio CDVerified Purchase

On their third album, Sheer Heart Attack, Queen had found their sound. The songs overall are stronger and more memorable than on their first two releases as they found a balance between Brian May's guitar theatrics and Freddie Mercury's flair for the dramatic. Nowhere is this more evident than on the band's first U.S. hit single "Killer Queen", which boasts a memorable chorus and their now famous multi-tracked backing vocals to go with May's singable guitar lines and Mercury's clever lyrics. "Brighton Rock" finds May in pure guitar hero mode and would be a concert staple for many years. "Stone Cold Crazy" is Queen at their heaviest and as expected, May tears it up on this one. "Now I'm Here" is another classic tune that starts with more theatrics before becoming a swinging rock number. As on their next album, A Night at the Opera, there are tunes that blend directly into the next giving the feel of a suite (ex..."Tenement Funster" into "Flick of the Wrist"). The track "Bring Back That Leroy Brown" is one of several vaudeville tunes that they did so well. The only thing that stops Sheer Heart Attack from becoming a classic is that a few of the songs like "Lily of the Valley" and especially "Misfire" feel incomplete and that's a shame on the latter since it's great while it lasts. All told, this is the first of a long winning streak for Queen and is one of their better albums.

great album

My son has recently started a vinyl collection, so for his birthday I decided to get this to add to his collection. His musical tastes often revolve around music he hears during movies and I think this came on his radar while watching Baby Driver, I believe Brighton Rock was played during the film and he loved it. I ordered about a week before his birthday and showed up on time in perfect condition another added benefit is that it keeps him out of my record collection, at least for the time being.

Sheer Brilliance!!

If you are a fan of Queen and have never checked out this album, YOU MUST DO SO!!! Queen made their debut album, which merely introduced the world to a brand new sound. Then, followed up with Queen II, totally mind blowing, heavy, different. The 3rd album that a band puts out usually is difference in making a long career for themselves or fading out and people saying "I really liked those first two albums, what happened?"...

Well, Queen hit a home run with their 3rd. They continued the eerie, weird, different, yet heavy sound of the first two and added in elements never heard before - see Tenement Funster, Flick of the Wrist... Brian May really opened things up on Queen II, but on this release - it seems like his guitar leads are non-stop.
Needless to say, they kept kickin butt for years to come. God Save the Queen!!

Sheer Heart Attack, you betcha!

November 5, 2006

Format: Audio CDVerified Purchase

Queen kicks major on this album. This album shows Queen getting more comfortable with their signature sounds and going out on limbs that hold fine and never seem to break. Sheer Heart Attack in my opinion is the album that broke the mold for them. They were getting their first wings and flying into the operatic type ovetones of a later album that gave them their breakthrough. Every album Queen puts out is precisively perfect. Think RUSH without the ethereal soundscapes. Very much in tune and very much the musicians they are. What I like most about Queen is that everyone writes songs and are equally distributed in each album. Roger, Freddie, Brian and John can write songs and each one in their own right have had hits. The main focus of Queen always seems to me, to be of equality not found in most bands.
