User Album Review
Jazz was hysterical in every sense of the word, but the music press comprehensively failed to get the joke, particularly in the US, where Rolling Stone's Dave Marsh came to the improbable conclusion that Queen were Nazis: "The first truly fascist rock band." Attentive as ever to the opinions of rock critics, the US public responded by buying 4m copies of Jazz's followup, 1980's The Game (★★★★). Big on perfectly done power ballads, it's more streamlined and less berserk than its predecessor, although such things are relative. It still features a song called Dragon Attack, while anyone jonesing for the weirdness of Jazz is directed to Don't Try Suicide, on which Freddie Mercury attempts to dissuade a friend from topping himself using the winning argument that he finds suicidal people annoying: "When you do it, all you do is get on my tits." If you want to hear how extraordinary Queen could be, there's Another One Bites the Dust, a white rock band's disco pastiche that genuinely bears comparison with the masters of the genre, the greatest record Chic never made.
