10 Most Underrated Queen Songs
6. In The Lap Of The Gods...Revisited - Sheer Heart Attack
It tends to look uninspired when bands have two songs named the exact same thing. While it may be excusable to redo a song from your past or just forget the more lackluster parts of your catalog, having two completely different songs with the same name might send off some alarm bells with fans. But, again, we're talking about Queen here.
When assembling the tracks for Sheer Heart Attack, there were two In the Lap of the Gods's that the boys couldn't really decide on for the final cut. Instead of just melding them together, both of these songs serve as bookends for the second side of the record, with the last offering being the stronger of the two. Even with the Revisited title, this feels more like a reimagining of the same song, with Freddie reaching deep into his soul to hit some of the more forceful notes on the chorus.
Once you get that final release that comes with the song title being sung, Brian May picks up right where Freddie left off, as the guitars cascade across the speakers to create one of the first true symphonic endings that the band had ever done. A lot more theatrical music was bound to follow, but this final victory lap of a track shows that Queen were ready to progress to the big leagues.
