Sheer Musical Attack!

Advantages: Queen's first really great album of their career
Disadvantages: Not long enough!

...Not many bands release 2 albums in 1 year in their entire career, but Queen did it in 1974. The year saw them build on their eponymous debut release in '73 with Queen II in which their rock-opera genes started to show. Later in the year, this album Sheer Heart Attack developed further on that theme, and what a great album. The album opens with the sounds of a funfair and then launches into Brighton Rock - a 5 minute rock epic which tells of a holiday romance. The track features an instrumental solo from Brian May which was later to be featured in every live show for the rest of the band's career. Next we have Killer Queen. Probably the best known track from the album and featured on Greatest Hits I. A song about a stylish French prostitute complete with finger clicking and swanky guitar. Tenement Funster is a Roger Taylor penned...

Review of Sheer Heart Attack - Queen

Heart attack.

Advantages: A warning shot
Disadvantages: You can die.

...I hope in this review, to help people understand a heart attack. Mine was unusual because there were no stabbing chest pains and very nearly was mistaken for a stomach bug! Saturday April 8th 2006. 3 a.m. It's funny how some dates and times stick clearly in your mind. I had been asleep but was awakened by this intense pain in my solar plexus. I thought I needed to be sick, so I got up to go to the bathroom, but my head spun and the next thing I knew I was on the floor. Stomach bug, immediately came to mind. This was reinforced by the fact that I had been to a house of some old friends earlier and a little boy in the wife's care (she was a registered child-minder) had picked a severe stomach bug and had been constantly rubbing his diaphragm area. My temperature was way up and my wife was all for calling an ambulance...

Massive As A Heart Attack!

Advantages: Every single thing that is right with music on a CD
Disadvantages: Doesn't have every Massive Attack song on it ever made

...Corr blimey! Imagining quite who wouldn't want to listen to the sonic perfection of Massive Attack is possibly beyond me. Massive Attack have always been a part of my life, although an indirect one, as my mother was a very big fan of all their releases, but it was not until litrally a couple of weeks ago it truly dawned on me the beauty of their work. I was sat in a hot sweaty exam room with 13 other students taking my AS level Music Technology exam, when I turned the page and the next track on the prompt CD began playing Teardrop to my humble ears. For a few minutes, I actually had to stop answeting questions, to simply sit and take this track in properly. I was blown away with a feeling of self worth and accomplishment, when all I had done was listen to my exam piece? Surely no band (especially one frm Bristol, home...

Review of Collected (+DualDisc) [Digipak] - Massive Attack

Go on, Attack yourself...!

Advantages: Get fit, get toned, shape up, start enjoying exercise
Disadvantages: A lot of sweat is usually involved

...Before I go any further, for sample clips of a class and more info, go to: www.squidoo.com/bodyattack INTRODUCTION: The idea of going along to something called 'Body Attack' doesn't sound incredibly appealing, does it? Well, let me tell you, once you've had a go, the sense of achievement and sense of 'you've done something that is good for you', makes you feel GRRrrrreat. So, what is it?...Body Attack is a high energy, intense cardio vascular exercise programme (created by fitness company, BTS) that is run in many gyms across the UK. THE PROGRAMME: The programme is specially designed by BTS (Body Training Systems, which are part of The Les Mills company). Basically, they create the exercise routines (or 'programmes' as they known) and train instructors across the UK, how to teach them, who then in turn, run...

Review of Primark (Shop)

Unsinkable Attack

Advantages: Clever plot, twists and turns
Disadvantages: Not as funny as previous work

...which are being carried out in order to set up a seat for Psychic research at the local university. He is stumped when Lafayette seems to be passing all of the tests and can't seem to work out what scam he is running..... This is a fairly clever story and looks at the scams that psychics employ to trick people into parting with their money. There are also some attacks on popular press and politicians which is generally to be expected from Brookmyre. Although the book was enjoyable enough, it just wasn't as funny as his other work (in my opinion). The black humour is still present but it just didn't grab me as his books normally do. "A Big Boy Did It and Ran Away" had me laughing aloud on the train and although this was funny it just wasn't the same type of humour. I still enjoyed reading this book but for me it wasn't his best and I'm glad...

Review of Attack of the Unsinkable Rubber Ducks - Christopher Brookmyre

Rat Attack!

Advantages: Good idea for a game, easy controls.
Disadvantages: Poor sound effects and music, not so good graphics.

...Age Rating: 3+ Multiplayer (1-4) PS1 Memory card required. Two rats that were sent off in a rocket for a scientific experiment have returned, Washington and Jefferson are now equiped with alien technology to help them create a rat army. The Scratch Cats are a feline freedom group who are sent to stop the pests before the world is over run with them. The game is in arcade style and you play as one of the scratch cats, there are over fifty levels (yes you heard right...) filled with rat destroying fun. Each level begins with a set number of how many rats you have to catch before the time ends, you lose all of your health points or if the rats have destroyed all of the objects in the room. First you must attack a rat by swiping them with your paw and then walk over them while pressing the x button so then you capture them...

Review of Sheer Heart Attack - Queen

Staying awake with a heart

Advantages: free game
Disadvantages: tactical, requires thinking

...Hearts is a game you can find almost anywhere. It's more than likely on your PC as one of the pre installed games you find in applications. It's available on all the free gaming sites online, to be played against other people or computer generated opponents. -Idea of game- The idea of the game is to get rid of your stockpile of cards without gaining any of the heart cards as they mean big points, and this is a game where you try to collect the least amount of points possible. -How to play- The game is played with four players, and the deck of 52 cards is dealt equally between the four. Spend some time quickly sorting your cards into suits at this point. One thing to remember is that each heart card has a point value of one and if you are unlucky enough to have the Queen of spades at the end of the game, this is worth thirteen...
