Bitch as much as you want Vocal Harmony but you are no innocent either.
People on here have told me you are basket case.

Jazz's production is very late-70's Roy Thomas Baker.

In fact, while producing Journey's "Infinity" album, the first to feature Steve Perry on vocals, Journey's manager complained about Roy's technique of running the tracks through his own personal mixer, sending them at very hot levels to the tape machine which hyped the sound considerably but also introduced hiss and added a thin element to the tracks.. In fact, Journey's manager noted that Baker was peaking every meter on his own personal mixer before the tracks went to tape.

Check out any of the tracks from "Infinity" and you'll hear a sonic thread that carries on through Jazz.

Yeah so sad that Queen's JAZZ album was a bit over produced but i wonder what it would have been like if Mack had produced it, would the sound and production be as good as The Game perhaps?

Depends if you have a problem with the production really. I like it - it's just a distinctive sound. I think it's more a case if they recorded it in familiar surroundings. But then it would miss out on the environmental factors which make it so unique material-wise.

Many of you dumb asses are just sheep, if 2 or 3 idiots said an album sucks or a song or a concert, you immediately jump on the bandwagon, creating a false hype.

So what are your thoughts on Jazz?
· Member since
"If You Can't Beat Them" is the only garbage song on that album, unlike "The Game" which has multiple utter garbage songs

You know what, I've really been digging that tune recently for the first time since I first heard the album way back but I see what you mean.

Bucstateflon Are you a real Queen fan or do you come on here to slag the bands classic albums?
Jazz & The Game albums are classic and still better than anything in the album charts today by miles.

It's no more over produced than any of the first five albums. Thinking about the point made about Journey and thinking back to ANATO the top end on that album within the mix sounds quite harsh and almost brittle, but ADATR and NOTW have a less harsh though dry top end and a warmer sounding low and mid. Over all to me they sound better than ANATO (production wise) so it seems strange that Roy Thomas Baker would be asked to produce Jazz.

I'm not sure Mack's production would have worked on Jazz I certainly don't think something like Bicycle Race would have worked with his simpler approach. As an example the backing vocals on Play The Game are great and really well recorded but have less ambience and a tighter closer sound than Queen typically achieved prior to that.

As for Jazz, I really like the album though it's not my favourite sounding album nd The Game is great because it went somewhere new and did it well
