"The Game" is the fourth single by Australian band End of Fashion, taken from their debut album, End of Fashion. It was released on 5 June 2006[1] on EMI Music[2] peaking at No. 13 on the Australian Singles Charts,[3] the band's highest charting single to date.
Nick Craig is of FasterLouder states "Lyrically, "The Game" is about relationships, and ill-fated ones at that." "Musically, End of Fashion sound strong on this track, exhibiting all the elements that have made them a competent band. Burford snarls in his delivery, and the guitars and bass lock in to a fast driving rhythm. There’s some interesting synth beats introduced towards the end, but they are quickly cut short by a thunderous vocal roar. Rapid fire drumming closes the song, plus zappy computer sound effects to reinforce the ‘game’ theme, which also highlight a slick production element that you won’t find in the live show."[4]
Hybrid Music's Rachel Fredrickson considers that "There's even a tad amount of The Killers heard in "The Game"."[5]
