Heart of the Matter

Double-A sided single taken from Queen's third studio album, "Sheer Heart Attack".

What may one to say about plain perfection? That is pop, music-hall, operatic, symphonic perfection? Who cares, perfection just don't have to request anybody's permission. Exquisite melody underpinned by the piano, choral harmonies soaked in flanger, blistering electric guitar solo, all that co-existing in the space founded by Taylor's idyosincratic drumming.

"Flick of the Wrist" suffers from lack of proper start & ending, since it was taken from the middle of a series of tracks which segue from one to the next. The music is amazing, yet. Modal mid-eastern flavoured tone, on-fire electric guitar, all kind of delicious and unexpected modulations, complex choral arrangements, the whole package.
