I really enjoyed this remaster and I am very happy for it.
The album has always sounded a little harsh but to my ears this is the best version I've heard so far.
The bonus disc, however, is a little weak due to lack of interesting material:
1. Now I'm Here - Nice early live version.
2. Flick Of The Wrist - Nice BBC recording which sounds pretty close to the studio version but it is definitely worth having.
3. Tenement Funster - Same as above
4. Bring Back That Leroy Brown - New 2011 acappella mix. Interesting study of the vocals but a track I will only listen to once. If it was suddenly erased from the bonus disc I wouldn't miss it.
5. In The Lap Of The Gods...Revisited - Live At Wembley, July 1986. A complete waste of space as it's been out on the 2CD set from Wembley '86 for ages. Pointless.

Let me preface my review by saying that Sheer Heart Attach is a fantastic album.
My problem is with the "Remaster". Its lovely but.....Maybe its my ageing ears but to me their is no noticeable improvement on the 1991 Remasters.
Also the bonus tracks, while pristine are flawed in their selection. The first 3 bonus tracks are welcome because they are of the time period covered by the album. The latter recordings are a 2011 remix and a 1986 live recording which is available among queen already available catalogue.
Its a shame the band are milking fans with their new label with the new releases with little care or content control. A full Live Concert recording from either Hammersmith Odeon or The Rainbow or indeed a full BBC sessions double CD release would be far more welcome.

Queen certainly shifted well away from their early proggish/fantasy dalliances with 1974's Sheer Heart Attack, which showcased an eclectic mix of guitar-led rock (Brighton Rock, Now I'm Here), elegant chart pop (Killer Queen), brief whimsy (Lily of the Valley), a jazzy/vaudeville(?) interlude (Leroy Brown) and the near rock-operatic In the Lap of the Gods, driven on by Brian May's crunching power chords. True, a couple of tracks are pretty inconsequential (Dear Friends and Misfire spring to mind) but the overall package is varied and entertaining, and the band members sound like they're enjoying the change of scenery.

An absolute classic
This is the Queen album where everything came together. It's always been my favourite Queen album, the main reason being that there's absolutely no filler on the album whatsoever. Read more
