Amazon.com essential recording

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

Heavy As Led.......2007-06-05

This is a very underrated album. Night at the Opera has some of their best produced moments, but this album has some of the most energetic, heavy, guitar-oriented rock ever created! From the very start, it sizzles with a real energy, shredding guitars, intense drums, this is rock and roll, baby! Brighton Rock and Stone Cold Crazy are early 70s speed metal, showing intensity and instrumental ability, and at the same time have accessible melodies, and dead-on harmonies that will make your hair stand up on end. The echoing guitar solo in Brighton Rock alone is worth getting this CD for. The beatlesque Killer Queen and In The Lap Of the Gods II are glam-ish with out becoming self-parodies, with unforgettable melodies. Throughout the album, but particularly on "Killer Queen", "Lap of the Gods I", and "Flick of the Wrist", the harmonies are brilliantly chosen and immaculately recorded. Freddy Mercury is at the top of his form here, his voice effortlessly nails every song, it's easy to see why he was considered one of the best rock lead singers of all time. Tenement Funster is a rather convincing offering from drummer Roger Taylor, who needless to say provides knock-out drumming throughout the album. Things falter a bit with Misfire, where John Deacon takes on role of guitarist, it is technically brilliant but misses the heaviness of Brian May's playing. 'She Makes Me' is a bit of a weaker moment as well, not a bad song, but just not as intense as the rest of the album. Leroy Brown is stylishly done but not the catchiest song, showing styles they would cover more effectively on their next album. All in all, this is one of the best albums that came out in the 1970s.

Queen's Killer Album - An overlooked classic.......2007-06-05

Sheer Heart Attack (1974.), Queen's third studio album

In the early 1970's, there were plenty of hard rock bands trying to make it big in the music world. Many of these bands were influenced by bands such as Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple, who were both carving out a new direction in music. One such new band in the early 1970's was the London-based British band, Queen. Queen's first two albums showed immense potential. Both albums (`Queen I' and `Queen II') showed the band could rock, however that was only half of the story. Queen's second album in particular showed a much more progressive side of the band but also began to unveil the signature `operatic' style that Queen became famous in incorporating into their music. Following a well received reception from rock fans of `Queen II' as well as extended radio play and popularity from the song `Seven Seas of Rhye', the band were indeed gaining popularity and momentum. The next challenge which faced the band would be to build on their great start and produce something even more potent with their next album effort.

`Sheer Heart Attack' was an album that was plagued with a number of problems during its creation. The chief problem was that Queen were in fact a three piece for much of the recording process as guitarist Brian May fell ill during that time. Eventually he had to record his parts onto the music recorded by Mercury, Taylor and Deacon. However `Sheer Heart Attack' proved, just like the Who's `Who's Next' and Led Zeppelin's `Led Zeppelin II' before it, that a disrupted recording process need not prevent a classic album from being produced. `Sheer Heart Attack' is, for me Queen's finest album effort of their career. Many may disagree, often citing the groundbreaking `A Night At The Opera' as the band's greatest work. Indeed, I will not stand in the way of this opinion, as `A Night At The Opera' is in many ways Queen's creative pinnacle. However, there is something which always caught my eye with `Sheer Heart Attack'. There is an edge to the songwriting on this album which makes much of the work extremely memorable. It is also a display of Queen hard rocking in full swing, with their operatic and quirky take thrown in. Some songs are shorter pieces and others are much more fully developed works but the course of the album weaves a very colourful tapestry of sounds which never has a dull moment. The album marks the continuation of the band working as an effective songwriting unit, with all band members contributing at least one song (John Deacon's first songwriting effort is featured on this album). The album also spawned a couple of classic Queen hits in `Killer Queen' and `Now I'm Here' as well as the brilliant `In The Lap Of The Gods' and `In The Lap Of The Gods...Revisited' which acted as concert finales for the band for much of the rest of the band's live career. In many respects this album is a melting pot of some sorts for the band as it marks the junction between the band's hard rocking beginnings, with the big Led Zeppelin-esque influences, with their much more grandiose operatic sounds and textures which were seen even more increasingly on subsequent albums. The result of this transitional period...a fascinating work which for me Queen would never quite again top.

`Brighton Rock' opens the album in an express fashion. This is an excellent hard rocker to open the album and is more than anything a great showcase for Brian May who fires out some excellent guitar work in the instrumental part of the song. `Killer Queen' is next; there is little that needs still be said about this one. It is a fantastic single and one of Queen's best - a career hallmark. Following this the album tempo changes for `Tenement Funster'. This is an excellent song written by Roger Taylor and is one of the best tracks on the album. Roger Taylor's songs, often of youth, rebellion and freedom are regularly the overlooked dimension to Queen's catalogue and this acoustic driven song is no exception. The song runs into `Flick Of The Wrist', which is an excellent hard rocker with a classic Queen chorus. One of the shorter songs on the album, `Lily Of The Valley', is led by a strong Mercury vocal coupled with weeping guitar work. Another excellent album single is next in `Now I'm Here', centered around a fantastic May guitar line; this builds into a masterfully crafted song. The first part of the fan favourite `In The Lap Of The Gods' is next. The song has all of the drama we expect from Queen in the opening before settling into a slow but unwavering groove.

My personal favourite track is next in `Stone Cold Crazy'. This, my friends, is thrash metal before its time. For a song from 1974, `Stone Cold Crazy' is unusually heavy and fast and proved to be a highly influential song. Indeed it was later covered by thrash metal pioneers Metallica on their `Garage Days...Revisited' release in 1987. `Stone Cold Crazy' cannons out of the speakers throughout its short 2 minute run time and is coupled with an atmospheric Mercury vocal and pacy drumming. `Dear Friends' again shifts the tempo with a slow lyrical yearn from Mercury. `Misfire' is an upbeat, enjoyable jingle - it is also John Deacon's first album composition. `Bring Back That Leroy Brown' is an amusing song - a typical humourous jaunt for Queen with some quirky mandolin work and operatic vocals. You could easily mistake this song for something from a musical. `She Makes Me' is a classic, slow ballad with more excellent Mercury vocals and has a refreshing retro feel to the music. `In The Lap Of The Gods...Revisited' is the perfect finisher for the album. It has a waltz-like 3/4 meter which paves the way for an entrancing exit chorus that never tires over its many repetitions.

`Sheer Heart Attack' is one impressive album and demonstrates a legendary band on top of their game. Queen have put out their fair share of albums, all of which have their own unique stamp. `A Night At The Opera' and a `A Day At The Races' amongst others are deserved classics but for me this underrated masterpiece has the edge on both of them. I hope after reading this review that I can convince many of you to give this album a go. It is sadly often overlooked but I can guarantee that you will definitely not regret listening to this excellent work...its not to be missed!!

MY RATING: 9.5/10

Queen Rocks!.......2007-05-23

If your only familiar with the most popular Queen songs get some more of their recordings and experience their great talent. All their early recordings all say "No Synthesizers". It's amazing what they can do with vocals and Brian May on guitar.

Yes it's THAT good.......2007-04-08

I first heard this on a used LP years ago but I'll spare you the history lesson. This is a fantastic collection of tunes where heavy metal and cabaret collide with Beatle-type song structures and - somehow - it all holds together perfectly. The musicianship is amazing and, perhaps because none of the songs here were played to death on the radio, virtually all of this CD sounds as fresh as it did years ago. Even if you're sick of the few Queen songs that are still in heavy radio rotation, you will find much to cheer about here. The production is sleek, the riffs are furious, and the harmonies are stellar.

Highlights? "Brighton Rock" is an incredible guitar workout (including multiple overdubbed guitar harmonies) but has enough signature and tempo changes to have done most prog bands proud. "Stone Cold Crazy" is speed metal years before anyone could imagine such a thing, with heavy fleet fingered riffs that owe nothing to blues rock. And then there's the pop perfection of "Killer Queen," the alienated balladry of "Tenement Funster" and the operatic strangeness of "In the Lap of the Gods."

Sheer Guitar Attack.......2007-02-13

Worth it alone for May's Brighton Rock guitar sound. Also the breakthru with Killer Queen. Other highlights include, in the lap of the gods revisited and fan favorite Now I'm Here.

Brilliant!!!.......2003-08-11

I have the CD at home and the songs sound fabulous. I've heard the Houston Symphony's version of the Star Spangled Banner many times on TV as this anthem has been used at sign-off (when this was happening). It's as powerful a version you'll hear. Probably the finest patriotic music CD you can find out there.

Loved the CD! I am buying it to use with a Musical Freestyle Ride for a Quadrille. A horse oriented endeaver. The music will be perfect to bring positive patriotism to fairs and fund raisers for NYC.

Bob Wills meets Glenn Miller meets Esquivel's space-age bachelor-pad music as steel guitarist Jon Rauhouse blurs the distinction between hipster retro and postmodern cool. Though many of the cuts are instrumental, including a cartoon romp through "Holiday for Strings" and a revival of the theme from TV's Mannix, Rauhouse also spotlights the vocals of some luminaries he's served as a sideman. Kelly Hogan nails the Marty Robbins gunfighter ballad "Big Iron," Neko Case delivers a dreamy "East of the Sun (and West of the Moon)," and Sally Timms sounds particularly breathy and torchy on "I'll Be Seeing You." Guitar partner Tommy Connell and members of Calexico provide much of the musical backing, as Rauhouse plays Hawaiian guitar and banjo in addition to his signature steel. The 18 selections place a premium on tone and ensemble interplay rather than displays of hot licks. --Don McLeese

Made & Encapsulated for Radio in the Late 80's .......2006-09-15

Despite the large amount of mixing and the gratuitous use of sound effects, this is a surprisingly good CD. It is clearly the most "pop" that Krokus ever was (and hopefully ever will be).

The remake of Winning Man is a good twist on the original. Bad, Bad Girl is a ballad and probably my least favorite song on here.

Krokus made use of contrast with songs such as "Everybody Rocks" & Speed Up." Both start out rather ambiguously, but come in strong and continue to be throughout.

Axx Attack has a good riff, a good tempo, and is lyrically solid as it speaks against war.

The other tracks talk about the typical 80's rock scene as they get into women and Rock 'n' Roll.

As a long time Krokus fan, it's easy to say that this CD is not entirely who they really are. The cover is even different and the standard written Krokus logo is not the same either.

I suppose, at this point, one would have to get the re-released version from 2002 unless you get it used. Some of it's enjoyable music and some of it's just amusing. But it's good for the collection.

I was disappointed that these are not the same arrangements as the original movie soundtracks. For example, in Colonel Bogey, the countermarch from the movie soundtrack is not included in the arrangement on this CD. Don't get me wrong, the songs are good, but I would have preferred the same arrangements as the original movies.

This compilation is superb and a real must-buy. From Band of Brothers to A Bridge Too Far: every war movie theme is represented here. An all time classic.

The really good ones are missing........2005-07-18

While this compilation has some masterpieces such as the theme from The Great Escape and Is Paris Burning, it's missing some of the finest tracts ever written. Where is the theme from Victory and Ernest Gold's stirring epic from Cross of Iron? The closing theme from Inchon was also a feast for the ears, but it's not here. It was written by Jerry Goldsmith, one of the foremost soundtrack composers of our time. Instead we're subjected to the likes of Hanover Street and The English Patient. I'll admit Inchon and Victory weren't Academy Award winning movies, but their soundtracks were second to none. As John Stossel would say," Give me a break"!!!

LOUD AND PROUD.......2006-01-12

These guys don't need to apologize for anything. big, loud simple rock riffs. Screaming vocals barely tamed by a sweet sounding second chick vocalist that has a big set of her own. I heard this on launchcast, and I was like "what the!?!?" I bought the album soon after.

There is no secrets to this music, it's all up front in your face. I think this is about as close as you may think they sound live. This is a band that sounds like their equipment might blow up soon. I am dead serious. I think the lead singers vocal chords sometimes flies out his mouth, and that's why they got the chick to sing with him, so he can stuff them back down his throat before the next line. Maybe he super glues them. I think velcro might be the way to go.

Look, I love AC/DC. I like bands that are influenced by them. YHA has their own chaotic sound but they got that 3 chord ripping rock I love. I am an old school rocker, but these guys are new school in your face.

I would invite this band to play at my church just to see if Jesus would show up and do a cage match battle with satan. ( remember..rock and roll is the devils music..) man, you wouldn't even have to PAY for that show..CHURCH IS FREE!

YHA rocking the presbyterians as good and evil fight? WOW.

Echoes of AC/DC, The Who, Cheap Trick.......2005-09-06

Some times they recall the basic three chord crunch of Angus and company, at other times perhaps Joan Jett and the Blackhearts thanks to the presence of co-lead singer Jennifer Stephens, at the beginning of "Starlite" I'm thinking "The Who...".

What this DOESN'T have in common with those bands is: memorable hooks. There's no counterpart to "Dirty Deeds" here...no "Baba O'Riley"....no "Dream Police". It SOUNDS good..but it doesn't stick in the head.

HIGHLIGHTS:
"Sick of Doing Time" musters the best hook here in "Hey hey hey/I was a bad one/Hey hey hey/I was a loaded gun..". An incendiary guitar solo later and you've got a great rocker. MC5's "Over and Over" is covered to AC/DC's "Dirty Deeds" lick more or less. A celebration of "Hee Haw" sexy simpleton "Misty Rowe" is also a winner.

LOWS:
Some of the most painful lyrics are found in "Starlite": (Ooooh, because your hot rod,go,go/Gonna riff-raff, downtown, rock show/Gonna run it tonight, gonna total tonight/Gonna rumble over my cool punk girl..". Ouch.

BOTTOM LINE:
You'd be better off buying the Jet CD...

Awesome Quality Rock from Young Heart Attack.......2005-06-04

This band just get better and better. I'm not going to repeat what the other reviews have said about Young Heart Attack's musical and vocal abilities. I've been going to rock gigs for almost 30 years and after seeing Young Heart Attack live in London, I just had to buy the album when it came out. It was well worth it. This album conveys the incredible energy of their songs magnificently.

If you want a modern up to date encapsulation of the quintessential essence of rock - This is it! Seminal influences can be recognised and if you know your Rock Pantheon you will pick up the cheeky little musical references. However, they just serve to inseminate the ova of Young Heart Attack's own original creativity. It is developed and incarnated and Young Heart Attack's music springs like a torrent of freshly spawned piranha instantly devouring any apathy or lassitude your soul may harbour.

This band deserve to make it big.
See them live for the Real Deal!!

Holy Mackerel This Band Cooks!!!!!.......2005-02-08

Think of Fleetwood Mac minus the piano player.Oh yeah and instead of soft rock,they play fast paced rockers in the spirit of AC/DC and Motley Crue.Here we have another band taking part in the rock n roll revival.These guys pay homages to their influences(if you listen to the album there is no question who there main influence is)but without a doubt have carved out an identity of their own.Sure they got all the vintage-long haired riffs down and the talent,but what sets this band apart from their counterparts is their double lead singer attack.Geez does this sound so amazing.The guy's voice is almost "Steven Tyler-like" with a bit of punk attitude but not for one second does he sound like EMO(yuck!).The girl's voice is like the cherry on top of all the madness going on.I would compare her to Joan Jett with just a little bit of a higher voice.This whole album rocks but if I were to pick my fav,I would have to say "Misty Rowe".This song basically defines the band and what they can do and how much of a kick ass job they do doing it.Other standout songs for me are "Starlight","Mary Jane",and "El Camino".I really hope this band sticks around for a long time because they have so much potential and so much to offer.

So if you're into the whole rock n roll revival thing be sure to check out this amazing group,you will not be disappointed.

Shake Your Money Maker.......2004-05-25

Like a lot of cool bands now, such as The Secret Machines, this band is from Texas. I caught this band live last year as an opener for Electric Six. They were actually nothing like that. They had more in common with The Darkness and The Datsuns. That means they are more into AC/DC that one would expect. The song "Mouthful of Love" is a full on burst of pure rock and roll. They have some relationship with that other band from Austin, Trail of Dead. They sound like many rock and roll bands except that they have two vocalists, male and female, Chris Hodge and Jennifer Stephens. "Starlite" starts out with the sound of The Who. The songs of Young Heart Attack are about having fun, pleasure, and taking life to the edge. This is about having a good time. Listening to this loud embraces the sonic power of rock.

Here's the scoop.......2005-11-01

This is a great disc. Dale's the definitive honky tonk artist of today, and his debut is just like all of his cd's, great. While the majority of today's artists in the "country" genre have a tendency to move towards the mainstream, this old-school ass-kicker stays true to his roots; and thank God for that. "Hightone" has finally re-printed this, so it might be the time to pick up this classic.

What country music should be.......2002-10-23

Dale Watson is what country music should be. Twangy guitars, crying steel-pedal guitars and fiddles. This album has all that.

Dale's voice is one of the richest in country music history. It is a shame that commercial country radio can find no place for real country music.

The songs are sometimes fun, sometimes sad, always country. If you long for the day when country music loses its cross-over infatuation (don't hold your breath), buy this CD and play it all the time. Guaranteed not to disappoint.

DALE WATSON - ESSENTIAL COUNTRY !.......2001-08-07

While I'm at it I'll give his next three albums("Blessed Or Damned","I Hate These Songs","The Truckin'Sessions")5 stars each as well! He's that good he can even make a whole record of truckin' songs that I would put on any essential Country list. If like me, you're sick an' tired of mainstream Nashville Country Pop - Dale is the ticket!

Country doesn't get any better than this!.......1999-03-05

Every chord, every line is so true, so sincere and so beautifull! Though I've always loved countrymusic, I now realise I never knew real country music... 'till Cheatin' Heart Attack. It's heartfelt and realistic, without anything to make it look better, sound better or seem better. For this artist, who doesn't want to sell his soul to those major labels, give in to the rocky and poppy side of the new Nashville sound or give up his dreams and ideals for stardom, fortune and millionselling albums it wouldn't be more appropriate to, even after the 4 years that have passed, hit the top at the Billboard 100! His best album ever, but I'm still curiously waiting for the follow-up for The Truckin' Sessions

Album Description

In August of 2002, Olympic Gold medal Figure Skater, Scott Hamilton asked one of his favorite bands for the last twenty years to provide all the music live for his NBC TV Special entitled, Scott Hamilton & Friends". This CD is the soundtrack to that TV show. It was the first time a Soul band played all the music live for an ice show like this. The band was tight and the energy was high. Scott also asked his good friend, Susan Anton, to join in. The chemistry between Susan and the band is evident on her five tracks. The skaters loved it, the band had a ball, the audience went crazy and for Scott it was a dream he had for many years, come true. This show was only performed once on October 22, 2002 Live at the First Union Center in Philadelphia, PA. It aired on dec. 14th 2002. here it is, preserved on CD for you to enjoy.

Big in Japan.......2002-12-12

Originally released late 1974, in Japan by Elektra/Warner Pioneer, reissued by Toshiba-EMI. The tour for this LP in Japan gave Queen fan-demonium of Beatlemania-sized proportions!
