"Oh my gosh, that was another pivotal moment. Queen – for me – is the most unique rock band in history. I love Deep Purple, Zeppelin and all those rock bands from that time but nobody sounded like Queen and nobody could sound remotely like that. There was a magic to them – almost like the band was blessed with something. That band was such a perfect storm because with Freddie Mercury, how could you even quantify his confidence? You couldn’t –it was boundless and he just expressed that constantly in the music. The way Brian May approached the guitar was absolutely unique. You can compare me to other guitar players, you can compare Page to other players but you can’t compare Brian May to anybody because his touch on the instrument had a life of its own and the way that he heard the songs and was able to apply this unbelievable touch to serve the song – as opposed to just saying ‘here’s a guitar solo’ –meant he was the sound of Queen. In fact everyone in that band was the sound of Queen. When ¬Queen II came out it was the most musical, aggressive rock record of that period, for me."

Not a bad track on the album (2 more)
Good mix of fast and slower songs
Amazing sounds
Short and sweet
It's not a long album but I don't think there is a track on it I would rate lower than a 6. Amazing guitar and drums playing. Good mix of slow, fast and faster songs. Topped off with the iconic Master of puppets track.

"This is a brilliant, improvised, one take illustration of the constant inventiveness of Colin Fisher, who plays guitar and saxophone on my new album. It’s music in a very different context from what I make in some ways, and yet when he came to record with me on Suddenly, he was just as at home in that world as he is here"

"The third of the trinity, and definitely the holy ghost of the analogy. The DKs were more sarcastic, political, and just plain weird—I think East Bay Ray's guitar work is hugely underrated, and they were generally musically more interesting than a lot of their peers. I could have picked any of their records, really, but this one has the classics."

"This was a life changing record for me because, up to that point, I was lost. Really disenfranchised. I really hadn't found anybody else who was singing my song, so to speak. But Bon [Scott] really embodied everything that I thought a frontman should be. And between Malcolm and Angus [Young] I knew of no guitar duo at that time that touched them."
