Most artistically successful, fully realized work....huh? Music Lover: from Cedar Falls, IA US -- October, 17, 2009

True, this is one of Queen's "signature" albums, but it also marks a transition, a departure from the music that brought them acclaim in the '70's.

With the advent of The Game,although they'd redeem themselves later w/The Works, Queen became pop. With respect, as huge as it was in 1980, The Game has not aged well for this reason. "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" & "Another One Bites The Dust" were clever & novel...if they had stopped there. "Dust" paved the way for more dance oriented numbers for the remander of Queen's career, regrettably making this a "side" of their music. Aside from "Dragon Attack" & one or two other songs, The Game does not reflect the genius of their prior albums succumbing to sometimes embarrasing &...well, pop, hits oriented music.

If all one knows of Queen is their hits, if you're prone to enjoy familiar, radio friendly music, then you will enjoy this album. If you enjoy more innovative & complex music, I emplore you to start with any of their earlier, '70's releases.
