The Album Review Club - Week #148 - (page 1953) - Sheer Heart Attack - Queen

[Coatigan]

Not that it is necessarily a compliment, but it is quite a good album to work to, for those that do so.

Switch 625 is on High n Dry....before they became a rockpop band ;)

Not sure how I missed that one either, but yes, that is a fantastic song!

I gave that a primer this AM to get prepped for the Budos Band V. Perhaps YYZ is called for too. :-)

Don't bother nominating Rush - I like them, OB1 loves them, Foggy too, but everybody else hates them!

How rude!!!

Sorry, mate. Yes, I'm sure they are up your street too.

But the original point still stands - there are a lot of people on these forums who don't get them.

First listen to The Budos Band and I like it. It's different, like a 60s TV soundtrack but with added oooommmf.

Definitely getting a soundtrack vibe, like something from a Tarantino film.which in my mind is a positive.

No worries - wasn't going there, just taking in another instrumental before I find time to start on the Budos Band V.

Are they oblivious
To this quality?
A quality
Of light unique to every city's streets

An enjoyable first listen to V while wrapping up a Friday at the office with Old Engine Oil, Ghost Talk, and Maelstrom really standing out and grabbing me upon first listen. And those horns - wow! Need a few more spins.

Meanwhile, I saw their latest 2023 EP has a nice homage to a famous album artist and band from yesteryear. ;-) Pretty cool too!

I'd never heard of these before so didn't really know what to expect.

I really liked the opening track and thought it was a great 'intro' and was half expecting some lyrics on the next track which I also enjoyed!

I also thought it all sounded very 'soundtracky' but that's no bad thing. It has the vibes of a downtown, slightly dangerous nightclub in a shifty area of New York.

I really quite enjoyed this and it will be one I'll definitely play again.
