Description

Right off the bat, a flourish of carnival music assaulted the senses, inviting listeners to run off to the circus with Queen. Among the main attractions were May’s magnum-guitar symphony, "Brighton Rock," the staccato bombast of "Now I’m Here," and the flamboyant whimsy of breakthrough single "Killer Queen." But also featured among the sideshows were Taylor’s cheeky "Tenement Funster," which bled straight into the muscular cynicism of "Flick of the Wrist" and flowed seamlessly into the surprisingly fragile "Lily of the Valley."

Side two took this contiguous musical approach to even more daring heights. It opened with the disorienting "In the Lap of the Gods" and the speed-metal convulsion of "Stone Cold Crazy" before settling down into May’s soothing "Dear Friends" and Deacon’s incredibly mature first contribution to Queen, "Misfire." But just as quickly, it shifted gears into the ragtime curiosity of "Bring Back that Leroy Brown," the dreamy glam fantasy "She Makes Me (Stormtrooper in Stilettos)," and, finally, the reprise of "In the Lap of the Gods … Revisited."

Ultimately, Sheer Heart Attack was both schizophrenic and of-a-piece. It set the adventurous template that seduced fans and then kept them on their toes every time a new Queen album landed on record store racks, bearing astonishing gifts of outlandish imagination and brilliant song craft. As time went by, future Queen albums boasted bigger hits and even more consistent material. Sheer Heart Attack crystallised their inimitable style, however, even as it showed the way forward for the band. They never looked back.
