"The Game" was the last single Disturbed pulled from their debut album The Sickness: it followed "Voices" as the fourth and final release in February 2001, and it has held a spot in their live sets ever since. All four players share the writing credit, David Draiman, Dan Donegan, Fuzz and Mike Wengren, and Johnny K produced it with the band for Giant Records, engineering the sessions as well.
It's nu metal built like a machine: Donegan layers electronic noise over his guitar, Fuzz and Wengren lock into a tight, heavy grind, and Draiman rides on top with the menace dialed all the way up. Andy Wallace and Steve Sisco handled the mix, which keeps every hit landing like a fist on sheet metal.
