Coming Soon ��
‘The same old babies with the same old toys, The neighbours
screaming when the noise annoys, Somebody naggin’ you when
you’re out with the boys.’ Another Taylor number, this time sung
as a duet with Mercury. Taylor also features on the pounding,
rocking rhythm guitar.
Save Me ���
Written by May about a friend whose relationship had ended,
he takes on piano, synths and guitar duties here in the rocking,
bombastic ‘Save Me’. Soulful and powerful. ‘The slate will soon be
clean, I’ll erase the memories, To start again with somebody new,
Was it all wasted, All that love?’
Conclusion
The only Queen album to reach No. 1 in both the United
Kingdom and the United States, ‘The Game’ is tied with ‘News of
the World’ in US sales. Launching the band into global megastars,
it is the first Queen album to include synthesisers, as well as a new
producer, and a more basic approach to songwriting. In many
respects, however, it is a little too stripped-down, and almost a step
down musically. Still, very good in parts.
