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

[BlueHammer85]

Blonde on Blonde, Bob Dylan's classic, scores a no-better-than-respectable 6.5. 15 people voted, but how many were voting for Dylan and how many his harmonica? Thanks to @BlueHammer85 for the nomination.

I expect a change of pace next, as this week's nominator is @OB1.

Ridiculous

A busy evening so far gave me just the right amount of time for a first listen to SHA (drove my family into Manchester, parked up, had a pizza, they are seeing Wicked - musical, not film - I’m back home for the match and then I’ll be back into the city to pick them up again!)

Anyway, enjoyed the first listen but I’ll save anymore for the review.

Would have loved to have seen those two gigs!

Yes, my first was ANATO @ the FTH - the second show of the evening. You may recall that due to the popularity of B.Rhapsody, they added a second show in MCR and played both on the same evening.

I doubt you will find any early Queen fans that don't think they peaked during those first four albums but I still found plenty to like on most of their albums.

Tbh I can’t remember but I’d guess it would have been the second show.
It seems we must have been to a lot of the same gigs back then, we both were at ‘The Tubes’ and ‘Kiss’
Sadly I wasn’t one of the thousands that saw The Sex Pistols’ at the lesser Free Trade Hall nor did I go to York away!

No I didn’t do either of those. I’m not sure why I didn’t go to York: I had it in mind to make a weekend of it.

Finally, we won a game. A 10 for Queen, Dylan is amazing and upping my score to a 9, fuck it even oasis can have a 6.

This will be interesting for me.
Only album i have heard was ANATO.
Again it must have been over 40 years since i heard that.
Good couple of singles on Sheer Heart Attack so it will be intersting to hear the rest of the album.

This will be interesting....can't remember the last time, or which Queen album I last listened to in full....generally a band I like a song or 2 from each album, which together would make one stunning album! Always got put off by, what I found a couple of really cringy songs (the ridiculous 'imo' Ride my Bicycle nonsense) being the worst......shame the song Sheer Heart Attack isn't on this album, as imo, it's one of their best tracks ;)
