View More By Queen Our ReviewAs a group determined not to repeat itself, Queen entered the ‘80s with an ear cocked towards sounds that would leave their ‘70s selves behind. They were accomplished musicians who could adapt to any genre and all of their studio albums feature an amalgam of styles that only seasoned professionals could dare. The Game is no exception. While the band jettisoned the longer, progressive heavy-metal-styled tunes, its members learned the fine art of succinct powerful songwriting. The younger Queen would never have tried something as accessible as “Rock It (Prime Jive)” or “Need Your Loving Tonight.” “Another One Bites the Dust” was a monster hit, and along with “Dragon Attack” continued the band’s dalliance with funk. The Elvis Presley-rockabilly of “Crazy Little Thing Called Love” was a convincing blast from the past. “Save Me” is exactly the melodramatic ballad that singer Freddie Mercury was born to sing. The 2001 Deluxe Version features re-mastered sound, solid live versions of “Save Me” and “Dragon Attack,” an early take of “Sail Away Sweet Sister,” a great little improvised piece, and the B-side “A Human Body.”.

This Album has "Another One Bites The Dus", which has a really catchy and cheerful tune.

"Play the Game" opens with a spiraling synthesizer roll, a rueful tongue-in-cheek reference to their earlier boastings of "no synths - ever!" What follows is a varied series of tracks ranging from hyperactive funk (the excellent &qu Queen's last great LP (5 stars) Ok so it's got the first use of synthesizers, which the boys up to this point had strongly proclaimed they didn't need, but they use 'em well and the whole thing shines with rock and roll goodness. The huge singles are here, and you need 'em, but really it's a whole ride. May's "Dragon Attack" and Deacon's "Need Your Loving Tonight" are Queen mega-gems and then you get some of those fun/weird ones like "Rock It" BiographyFormed: 1971 in London, EnglandGenre: Rock Years Active: '70s, '80s, '90s, '00s Few bands embodied the pure excess of the '70s like Queen. Embracing the exaggerated pomp of prog rock and heavy metal, as well as vaudevillian music hall, the British quartet delved deeply into camp and bombast, creating a huge, mock-operatic sound with layered guitars and overdubbed vocals. Queen's music was a bizarre yet highly accessible fusion of the macho and the fey. For years, their albums boasted the motto "no synthesizers were used on this record," signaling their allegiance with the legions...
