Description: Reviews on 1974 Queen LP on 2/27/11 from J Alapick blues music,,,,,Where Queen found their sound (4.5 stars),,,,,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. Queen Sheer Heart Attack - Vinyl LP 1974. This media disc is clean and pristine.
