Register Don't have an account? The Game. View source. Queen had long been one of the biggest bands in the world by 's The Game , but this album was the first time they made a glossy, unabashed pop album, one that was designed to sound exactly like its time.

They might be posed in leather jackets on the cover, but they hardly sound tough or menacing -- they rarely rock, at least not in the gonzo fashion that's long been their trademark. Gone are the bombastic orchestras of guitars and with them the charging, relentless rhythms that kept Queen grounded even at their grandest moments.

But even that is an exception to the rule on The Game. Usually, when they want to rock here, they wind up sounding like Boston , as they do on John Deacon 's "Need Your Loving Tonight," or they sound a bit like a new wave-conscious rocker like Billy Squier , as they do on the propulsive "Coming Soon.

So, The Game winds up as a mixed bag, as many Queen albums often do, but again the striking difference with this album is that it finds Queen turning decidedly, decisively pop, and it's a grand, state-of-the-art circa pop album that still stands as one of the band's most enjoyable records. But the very fact that it does showcase a band that's turned away from rock and toward pop means that for some Queen fans, it marks the end of the road, and despite the album's charms, it's easy to see why.
