Surprised there are no comments for this one. Queen enter the 80's and for the first time seem to be followers than leaders. Sure, they can pull off disco and rockabilly as shown with the two big hits, but a lot of the album is just boring filler outside of those two and "Play The Game" and "Save Me". 6/10

NO SE PORQUE TAN POCOS COMENTARIOS DE LA OBRA MAESTRA DE QUEEN...DISCO IMPRESCINDIBLE EN CUALQUIER DISCOTECA

Es evidente que Queen inició un camino diferente en su estilo a partir de la publicación de este disco con la utilización de los sintetizadores. Pienso que lo que tenían ganas era de innovar y experimentar, aunque para ello se tuvieran que distanciar del hard rock. A pesar de eso, aún se mantiene en una línea bastante rockera: canciones como Dragon Attack o Rock It demuestran que la fuerza de la guitarra de Brian May sigue intacta. El crescendo instrumental de Save Me es francamente irrepetible.

Not strong one as an album but better as an "singles" album

From: Metal Loaf	Date: January 15, 2013 at 9:23
Aside from the singles, I think "Dragon Attack" features some of Brian May's best playing. On the whole, it's the same kind of New Wave/Hard Rock crossover sound that would make hits of albums like Foreigner's fourth album and Heart's 1985 self-titled record.
