Sheer Heart Attack is the third album by Queen, released in November 1974. It was produced by the band and Roy Thomas Baker. Sheer Heart Attack marries the Led Zeppelin-influenced crunch of their eponymous debut, and the sonic gimmickry and thematic ambition of its follow-up, 'Queen II'. They then hitched the result to their strongest songwriting to date: the single, 'Killer Queen,' actually won an Ivor Novello award, and pointed the way forward to subsequent glories.
