Review: Queen's The Game, their eighth studio album, shines with a fresh sound and innovation. Released in June 1980, this iconic record became Queen's first and only album to top the US charts, marking a significant achievement in their career. Now available in a striking silver-colored vinyl edition, this half-speed mastered version offers incredible sound quality on 180g vinyl. The album stands out with its polished production and pioneering use of synthesisers, particularly the Oberheim OB-X, which added a modern edge to Queen's signature rock style. Tracks like 'Crazy Little Thing Called Love' and 'Another One Bites the Dust' are timeless hits, showcasing Freddie Mercury's powerful vocals and the band's musical strength. The energy continues with deeper cuts like 'Dragon Attack' and 'Rock It (Prime Jive)'. The emotive ballads 'Sail Away Sweet Sister' and 'Save Me' highlight Queen's softer side, blending seamlessly with their hard-hitting rock. Come enjoy the peak of Queen's success once again with this quality restoration.
