SHEER HEART ATTACK is Queen's best album ever. It's rawer and heavier than any of their other albums, as it was recorded quickly during a layover from touring resulting from guitarist Brian May being ill with hepatitis after QUEEN II was recorded. This turned out to be a blessing in disguise, since SHEER HEART ATTACK was their first hit album in the U.S., producing the Number 12 hit "Killer Queen", although the other material, including "Brighton Rock", "Tenement Funster, "Flick Of The Wrist", and "Now I'm Here", is far better. This should be your first Queen CD.
What's great about it: Great rock songs, rawer and heavier than any other Queen album
