Album Reviews: NME (7/15/95, p.49) - 5 (out of 10) - "...excellent honky tonk stylings that recall the swing and the heartache of Merle Haggard at his best. There's cheating and drinking akimbo, and Dale writes a smart tune..."
Advantages: Queen's first really great album of their career Disadvantages: Not long enough!
...Not many bands release 2 albums in 1 year in their entire career, but Queen did it in 1974. The year saw them build on their eponymous debut release in '73 with Queen II in which their rock-opera genes started to show. Later in the year, this album Sheer HeartAttack developed further on that theme, and what a great album.
The album opens with the sounds of a funfair and then launches into Brighton Rock - a 5 minute rock epic which tells of a holiday romance. The track features an instrumental solo from Brian May which was later to be featured in every live show for the rest of the band's career.
Next we have Killer Queen. Probably the best known track from the album and featured on Greatest Hits I. A song about a stylish French prostitute complete with finger clicking and swanky guitar.
Tenement Funster is a Roger Taylor penned...

...Corr blimey! Imagining quite who wouldn't want to listen to the sonic perfection of Massive Attack is possibly beyond me.
Massive Attack have always been a part of my life, although an indirect one, as my mother was a very big fan of all their releases, but it was not until litrally a couple of weeks ago it truly dawned on me the beauty of their work.
I was sat in a hot sweaty exam room with 13 other students taking my AS level Music Technology exam, when I turned the page and the next track on the prompt CD began playing Teardrop to my humble ears.
For a few minutes, I actually had to stop answeting questions, to simply sit and take this track in properly. I was blown away with a feeling of self worth and accomplishment, when all I had done was listen to my exam piece?
Surely no band (especially one frm Bristol, home...

Brighton Rock - What a way to kick off an album. Best known for Brian May's virtuoso performance this is virtually a five minute rock guitar solo of the utmost quality. Brilliant use of rhythm guitar with falsetto vocals from Freddie Mercury and Roger Taylor portraying...
