Queen – The Game (2015 Reissue Half-Speed Mastered on 180g Vinyl)

Released on 30 June 1980, The Game is the eighth studio album by Queen. The album features a different sound from its predecessor, Jazz (1978). The Game was the first Queen album to use a synthesiser (an Oberheim OB-X).

A critical and commercial success, The Game became the only Queen album to reach No. 1 in the US, and became their best-selling studio album in the US. Notable songs on the album include the bass-driven Another One Bites the Dust and the rockabilly Crazy Little Thing Called Love, both of which reached No. 1 in the US.

Record Mirror wrote in a contemporary review, ‘After Zeppelin and even before the Scorpions, Queen are the most exciting band I’ve ever seen or heard. And I’m sure all you lovers of quality music will agree.’ Rolling Stone stated that it was ‘nice to hear a Queen album with songs, not “anthems”’.
