About this product

Product Information

Queen: Freddie Mercury (vocals, piano, synthesizer); Brian May (vocals, guitar); Roger Taylor (vocals, drums); John Deacon (bass).Recorded at Musicland Studios, Munich, Germany.Recording information: Musicland Studios, Munich, Germany (06/1979-07/1979).Following up the most idiosyncratic album of their career (JAZZ), Queen makes the transition here from weird pomp-rock band to weird pop band, marking a new musical direction for their '80s output. The major development here is the incorporation of funk into Queen's already-broad stylistic pallete. The mega-hit "Another One Bites the Dust" is based around an irresistibly funky bass riff that would be sampled by countless rappers over the next two decades. "Dragon Attack" mixes the funk quotient with some fiery guitar heroics from Brian May.The pure pop aspect of Queen's music blossoms into full flower as well. "Need Your Loving" could be a Badfinger or Records out-take. "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" predates (at least in the U.S.) the Stray Cats-led rockabilly revival of the early '80s. There are hints of late-period ELO on "Coming Soon." On "Rock It" the band shows that they still know how to pull out all the rock & roll stops. THE GAME is arguably Queen's most artistically successful, fully realized work.THE GAME found Queen at the top of their craft and the top of the charts, with two number-1 singles ("Crazy Little Thing Called Love" and the Chic-inspired "Another One Bites The Dust"). It also featured the first appearance of a synthesizer on a Queen album.DVD Features:Region 0Super Jewel CaseAudio: 24 Bit/96 Khz PCM Stereo - English 24 Bit/48 Khz Dolby Digital 5.1 - English

A now out-of-print classic!
I keep waiting for some of these older DVD-A discs reissued on BLU-RAY Audio but that day hasn't come still so the only way you can hear an album like this is to find an older copy. I will say that it is worth your time. To hear a classic album in 5.1 glory is really like hearing it again for the 1st time.

The best way to hear "The Game".
Good surround on a hard to find DVD audio disc. The sound quality is very clear and room filling. Freddy's vocals have never sounded this crisp. A pleasant way to revisit a classic album.
