Revisited About The Record: Sheer Heart Attack, by British rock band Queen, launched Queen to mainstream popularity both in the UK and internationally: the first single, Killer Queen reached No. 2 (UK) and provided them with their first top 20 hit in the US. One of the great strengths of the album is how all four members find their voices as songwriters, penning hooks that are big and bold, and crafting them in songs that work as cohesive entities instead of flourishes of ideas. This is evident not just in Killer Queen ? the first, best flourishing of Freddie Mercury's vaudevillian camp ? but also on the pummeling Stone Cold Crazy, a frenzied piece of jagged metal that's all the more exciting because it has a real melodic hook. Those hooks are threaded throughout the record. Sheer Heart Attack was also the first Queen album to hit the US top 20, peaking at No. 12. Digressing from the progressive themes featured on their first two albums, this album featured more conventional rock tracks and marked a step towards the classic Queen sound. In recent years, it has been listed by multiple publications as one of the band's best works.
