good 80's Metal.......2004-08-15

A good metalhead Belgian speed and power metal cd of the mid 80's. I had not really heard of the band until the reissue of 2 in 1 from Mausoleum Records "See you in Hell" and "Second Attack" I think the singer on this album went on to sing with the Belgian band Ostrogoth and Mystery and The German band Affair. Peter De Wint (not the famous painter) vocals are really outstanding on See you in Hell cd. Like all good metal bands things usually change for the worst. I do not think we well here any more in your face metal form Peter. He is preparing a self titled recording under Peter Qin melodic stuff? He tours sometimes with Glenn Hughes. If you are into hard rock keep a eye on him.
Cross Fire's first appearance was on the compilation Metal Glogs.
Keep it hard and heavy...............

Crossfire - 'See You In Hell/Second Attack' (Mausoleum).......2004-04-28

Holy crap!!I distinctly remember a neighbor of mine having the 'See You...' release on vinyl when it first came out,in 1984,on the Mausoleum label,mind you.After hearing all eight tracks,I was treated to some great old memories of as to how Crossfire was another one of those under rated/under appreciated metal bands.After experiencing(again) killer tunes like "Demon Of Evil","Magnificent Night","Fly High" and "Starchild",I was also reminded as to how their strong influences were most likely Krokus,Iron Maiden,Helloween,Saxon and Diamond Head.And then there's the bands second lp on this priceless 2-on-1 disc release,'Second Attack',which originally came out in 1985.As I was hearing,for the first time the tunes "Feeling Down","Atomic War" as well as the rest of the group's follow-up,I realized their 2nd lp was JUST as fierce as their 'See You...' metal masterpiece.This is the sort of music that makes you want to stay out late and smash up those mailboxes that stand by the curb.Most highly recommended.

This More than Just Sucks.......2004-08-18

Horrid Sound. Wouldn't mind if I had paid a few bucks, but for $40.00 plus, this is a huge ripoff. For anyone familiar with Hawkiwind, this is worse sound than "Give Me the Head of Yuri Gagarin"....by far. I have not heard many CD Collections that could compare to the disgarce that this set is!!!
Gave it one star simply because the packaging is OK.

THIS BOX SET SUCKS.......2004-07-07

I have bought no name bootlegs of lesser known bands that have sounded better than this piece of crap box set. There is one disc that is remotely audible. The other three are junk. Amazon needs to let people know that these imports, as nicely packaged as they are, are just junk bootlegs. This one is no different. To all those who misguided me with their reviews of this junk, keep in mind people are reading what you wrote and you steered me wrong on this one.

Mindblowing & Jawdropping---A Must Have!.......2003-11-28

Discs 1 & 2 were recorded in Japan on 18 January 1984. Schenker's performance is undeniably top notch and superb. The rest of the band---as always---is quite excellent, too. Each song is bursting with energy, sparkle, and sizzle. The "Rock Bottom" we hear on Disc 2 is surprisingly fast but everything you could want it to be. Here's the set list for Disc 1: CAPTAIN NEMO---ROCK MY NIGHTS AWAY---ARE YOU READY TO ROCK---CRY FOR THE NATIONS---ON AND ON---ATTACK OF THE MAD AXEMAN---INTO THE ARENA---COURVOISIER CONCERTO---LOST HORIZONS---ROCK WILL NEVER DIE---Disc 2: I'M GONNA MAKE YOU MINE---SYSTEMS FAILING---STILL LOVE THAT LITTLE DEVIL---ARMED AND READY---ROCK BOTTOM---DOCTOR DOCTOR. The sound quality is very good even though the show was not professionally recorded with a mobile studio. It was recorded through the soundboard (the mixing desk used for the Public Address system) and therefore you will probably find it better to listen to the discs through speakers rather than headphones. [All of the shows on "Back To Attack" are soundboard recordings.] Right, and now we come to Disc 3: It was recorded in Portland, Oregon on 14 December 1983. It only contains six songs which tally up to a measly 28 minutes. HOW RUDE! Whoever made this decision has slapped our faces with a gargantuan amount of disrespect. Didn't they know that cd's can now hold 80 minutes of material? Even if the rest of this show has been lost due to accident or neglect, the Decision Maker could've put other material onto this disc. But, what makes the matter all the more hateful is the fact that this show features Schenker ON FIRE! His performance is even better than the above-mentioned show in Japan---and that's really saying something! In fact, it proves once and for all that he was the very best heavy metal guitarist of the 20th century---even better than Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Gary Hoey, Uli Jon Roth, Tommy Iommi, Vivian Cambell, Eddie Van Halen---and yes, even Hendrix! Enough said. Check it out for yourself. The set list for Disc 3 is as follows: CAPTAIN NEMO---ROCK MY NIGHTS AWAY---ARE YOU READY TO ROCK---CRY FOR THE NATIONS---ON AND ON---ATTACK OF THE MAD AXEMAN. Gary Barden is dynamite---full of hard rockin energy---and so is the rest of the band. The sound quality is usually very good and seems to highlight Schenker but there are a few minor dropouts here & there---and they're insignificant. They really are. And now we come to Disc 4. It was recorded in Holland at the Pink Pop Festival on 08 June 1981. The sound quality varies between good and very good. It's a bit rough at times but you'll get used to it. As for Schenker's performance...well, it's not as good as the other two shows in this digipack, but it's still interesting. No, it's not bad, just a little sloppy here & there...I think I'm warming up to it a little more each time I hear it...Here's the set list for Disc 4: ATTACK OF THE MAD AXEMAN---VICTIM OF ILLUSION---NATURAL THING---FEELS LIKE A GOOD THING---ROCK BOTTOM---LOST HORIZONS---DOCTOR DOCTOR. I feel very fortunate to own this 4 cd digipack. It's only early November as I write these words but I feel as happy as a spoiled brat on Christmas Day. My only complaint is that most of the discs could've & should've had more material put onto them---and maybe the Decision Makers will keep this in mind the next time they release some more concert recordings of MSG (and how about some dvd's???). I certainly hope so. (You guys could've squeezed in another show or two)...(By the way, what happened to the songs from the Assault Attack album which were played each night on the 83/84 Tour?) Anyhow, thank you Mr. Schenker & Mr. Barden. Thank you for playing so well and for releasing these recordings.

Sheer Heart Attack is a Queen album that has something for nearly everyone. There's glam, progrock, guitar pyrotechnics to spare (check out Brian May's shape-shifting performances on "Brighton Rock" and "Flick of the Wrist"), proto-speed-metal ("Stone Cold Crazy"), and Queen's unique brand of campy humor ("America's new bride to be / Don't worry, baby, I'm safe and sound," Freddie Mercury declares on "Now I'm Here," a Queen concert staple). The group takes a rocked-up turn at ragtime on "Bring Back That Leroy Brown" and downshifts memorably on the spare piano-and-voice interludes "Lily of the Valley" and "Dear Friends." Best of all is the wicked rock-and-harmony showcase "Killer Queen," the group's first international smash. If you need a reminder of everything that was right about rock's old guard before punks stormed the gates, look no further. --Daniel Durchholz

Heavy As Led.......2007-06-05

This is a very underrated album. Night at the Opera has some of their best produced moments, but this album has some of the most energetic, heavy, guitar-oriented rock ever created! From the very start, it sizzles with a real energy, shredding guitars, intense drums, this is rock and roll, baby! Brighton Rock and Stone Cold Crazy are early 70s speed metal, showing intensity and instrumental ability, and at the same time have accessible melodies, and dead-on harmonies that will make your hair stand up on end. The echoing guitar solo in Brighton Rock alone is worth getting this CD for. The beatlesque Killer Queen and In The Lap Of the Gods II are glam-ish with out becoming self-parodies, with unforgettable melodies. Throughout the album, but particularly on "Killer Queen", "Lap of the Gods I", and "Flick of the Wrist", the harmonies are brilliantly chosen and immaculately recorded. Freddy Mercury is at the top of his form here, his voice effortlessly nails every song, it's easy to see why he was considered one of the best rock lead singers of all time. Tenement Funster is a rather convincing offering from drummer Roger Taylor, who needless to say provides knock-out drumming throughout the album. Things falter a bit with Misfire, where John Deacon takes on role of guitarist, it is technically brilliant but misses the heaviness of Brian May's playing. 'She Makes Me' is a bit of a weaker moment as well, not a bad song, but just not as intense as the rest of the album. Leroy Brown is stylishly done but not the catchiest song, showing styles they would cover more effectively on their next album. All in all, this is one of the best albums that came out in the 1970s.

Queen's Killer Album - An overlooked classic.......2007-06-05

Sheer Heart Attack (1974.), Queen's third studio album

In the early 1970's, there were plenty of hard rock bands trying to make it big in the music world. Many of these bands were influenced by bands such as Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple, who were both carving out a new direction in music. One such new band in the early 1970's was the London-based British band, Queen. Queen's first two albums showed immense potential. Both albums (`Queen I' and `Queen II') showed the band could rock, however that was only half of the story. Queen's second album in particular showed a much more progressive side of the band but also began to unveil the signature `operatic' style that Queen became famous in incorporating into their music. Following a well received reception from rock fans of `Queen II' as well as extended radio play and popularity from the song `Seven Seas of Rhye', the band were indeed gaining popularity and momentum. The next challenge which faced the band would be to build on their great start and produce something even more potent with their next album effort.

`Sheer Heart Attack' was an album that was plagued with a number of problems during its creation. The chief problem was that Queen were in fact a three piece for much of the recording process as guitarist Brian May fell ill during that time. Eventually he had to record his parts onto the music recorded by Mercury, Taylor and Deacon. However `Sheer Heart Attack' proved, just like the Who's `Who's Next' and Led Zeppelin's `Led Zeppelin II' before it, that a disrupted recording process need not prevent a classic album from being produced. `Sheer Heart Attack' is, for me Queen's finest album effort of their career. Many may disagree, often citing the groundbreaking `A Night At The Opera' as the band's greatest work. Indeed, I will not stand in the way of this opinion, as `A Night At The Opera' is in many ways Queen's creative pinnacle. However, there is something which always caught my eye with `Sheer Heart Attack'. There is an edge to the songwriting on this album which makes much of the work extremely memorable. It is also a display of Queen hard rocking in full swing, with their operatic and quirky take thrown in. Some songs are shorter pieces and others are much more fully developed works but the course of the album weaves a very colourful tapestry of sounds which never has a dull moment. The album marks the continuation of the band working as an effective songwriting unit, with all band members contributing at least one song (John Deacon's first songwriting effort is featured on this album). The album also spawned a couple of classic Queen hits in `Killer Queen' and `Now I'm Here' as well as the brilliant `In The Lap Of The Gods' and `In The Lap Of The Gods...Revisited' which acted as concert finales for the band for much of the rest of the band's live career. In many respects this album is a melting pot of some sorts for the band as it marks the junction between the band's hard rocking beginnings, with the big Led Zeppelin-esque influences, with their much more grandiose operatic sounds and textures which were seen even more increasingly on subsequent albums. The result of this transitional period...a fascinating work which for me Queen would never quite again top.

`Brighton Rock' opens the album in an express fashion. This is an excellent hard rocker to open the album and is more than anything a great showcase for Brian May who fires out some excellent guitar work in the instrumental part of the song. `Killer Queen' is next; there is little that needs still be said about this one. It is a fantastic single and one of Queen's best - a career hallmark. Following this the album tempo changes for `Tenement Funster'. This is an excellent song written by Roger Taylor and is one of the best tracks on the album. Roger Taylor's songs, often of youth, rebellion and freedom are regularly the overlooked dimension to Queen's catalogue and this acoustic driven song is no exception. The song runs into `Flick Of The Wrist', which is an excellent hard rocker with a classic Queen chorus. One of the shorter songs on the album, `Lily Of The Valley', is led by a strong Mercury vocal coupled with weeping guitar work. Another excellent album single is next in `Now I'm Here', centered around a fantastic May guitar line; this builds into a masterfully crafted song. The first part of the fan favourite `In The Lap Of The Gods' is next. The song has all of the drama we expect from Queen in the opening before settling into a slow but unwavering groove.

My personal favourite track is next in `Stone Cold Crazy'. This, my friends, is thrash metal before its time. For a song from 1974, `Stone Cold Crazy' is unusually heavy and fast and proved to be a highly influential song. Indeed it was later covered by thrash metal pioneers Metallica on their `Garage Days...Revisited' release in 1987. `Stone Cold Crazy' cannons out of the speakers throughout its short 2 minute run time and is coupled with an atmospheric Mercury vocal and pacy drumming. `Dear Friends' again shifts the tempo with a slow lyrical yearn from Mercury. `Misfire' is an upbeat, enjoyable jingle - it is also John Deacon's first album composition. `Bring Back That Leroy Brown' is an amusing song - a typical humourous jaunt for Queen with some quirky mandolin work and operatic vocals. You could easily mistake this song for something from a musical. `She Makes Me' is a classic, slow ballad with more excellent Mercury vocals and has a refreshing retro feel to the music. `In The Lap Of The Gods...Revisited' is the perfect finisher for the album. It has a waltz-like 3/4 meter which paves the way for an entrancing exit chorus that never tires over its many repetitions.

`Sheer Heart Attack' is one impressive album and demonstrates a legendary band on top of their game. Queen have put out their fair share of albums, all of which have their own unique stamp. `A Night At The Opera' and a `A Day At The Races' amongst others are deserved classics but for me this underrated masterpiece has the edge on both of them. I hope after reading this review that I can convince many of you to give this album a go. It is sadly often overlooked but I can guarantee that you will definitely not regret listening to this excellent work...its not to be missed!!

MY RATING: 9.5/10

Queen Rocks!.......2007-05-23

If your only familiar with the most popular Queen songs get some more of their recordings and experience their great talent. All their early recordings all say "No Synthesizers". It's amazing what they can do with vocals and Brian May on guitar.

Yes it's THAT good.......2007-04-08

I first heard this on a used LP years ago but I'll spare you the history lesson. This is a fantastic collection of tunes where heavy metal and cabaret collide with Beatle-type song structures and - somehow - it all holds together perfectly. The musicianship is amazing and, perhaps because none of the songs here were played to death on the radio, virtually all of this CD sounds as fresh as it did years ago. Even if you're sick of the few Queen songs that are still in heavy radio rotation, you will find much to cheer about here. The production is sleek, the riffs are furious, and the harmonies are stellar.

Highlights? "Brighton Rock" is an incredible guitar workout (including multiple overdubbed guitar harmonies) but has enough signature and tempo changes to have done most prog bands proud. "Stone Cold Crazy" is speed metal years before anyone could imagine such a thing, with heavy fleet fingered riffs that owe nothing to blues rock. And then there's the pop perfection of "Killer Queen," the alienated balladry of "Tenement Funster" and the operatic strangeness of "In the Lap of the Gods."

Sheer Guitar Attack.......2007-02-13

Worth it alone for May's Brighton Rock guitar sound. Also the breakthru with Killer Queen. Other highlights include, in the lap of the gods revisited and fan favorite Now I'm Here.
