"Queen was to return with yet another album in 1974 and finally focus their sound. Sheer Heart Attack was in many ways the true start of their story, combining the apparently disparate elements that they would make their own. ‘Killer Queen’ was their first great single but there is plenty here to match it — from the hard rock of ‘Stone Cold Crazy’ to the swing influenced ‘Bring Back That Leroy Brown’, dreamy ‘She Makes Me’ and epic ‘In The Lap Of The Gods…Revisited’. If you’re looking for an early Queen album to discover then this is the one." — State Magazine
