About this album
The Game is a rock album by English band Queen released June 30, 1980. It was the only Queen album to reach the #1 position in both the United Kingdom and the United States and became Queen’s best selling studio album in the US with four million copies sold to date, tying News of the World’s US sales tally. 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 number 1 in the United States. The Game was the first Queen album to use a synthesizer (an Oberheim OB-X).
The album’s working title was “Play the Game”, but Taylor voiced concern about its possible overtones of conformity, so it was changed to simply “The Game”.
Compared to previous Queen albums, the song arrangements are much simpler[2] (the album’s sound is more “pop rock” rather than the progressive/hard rock hybrids of Queen’s previous albums) but the album is responsible for propelling the band into global megastars.[3] Although the album was recorded over an 11-month period at separate sessions, the album is described as having a “slick cohesive feel” to it.[4] At approximately 35 minutes, The Game is the shortest of Queen’s studio albums.
Re-issued in May 2003 on DVD-Audio with Dolby 5.1 surround sound and DTS 5.1. The 5.1 mix of “Coming Soon” features an alternate backing track, because the final master tapes were not found when mixing the album to 5.1.

Play The Game is really haunting and pretty good. I have no idea how Save Me has more plays. Most of the album is very solid, maybe my favorite of the 80s.

I got to play "Don't Try Suicide" with my first band on our first gig, 15 years ago at the American University in Cairo. I am pretty sure we butchered it :-)
