Album Notes Queen: Freddie Mercury (vocals); Brian May (guitar); John Deacon (bass); Roger Taylor (percussion).Recorded at Mountain Studios, Montreux, Switzerland and Musicland Studios, Munich, Germany.1982's HOT SPACE is by far the most controversial album Queen ever released. Coming off a major disco hit with 1980's "Another One Bites The Dust," the band decided to take it a step further and released an album comprised mostly of tunes crafted from the same dance mold. This wouldn't have been a big deal for some bands, but the majority of Queen's fans were rock n' rollers, not disco buffs. Looking back, the band admits some trepidation at releasing HOT SPACE when they did, but there are indeed many strong Queen compositions included. The most renowned track is the Queen/David Bowie hit collaboration, "Under Pressure," a tip of the hat to the then-thriving new wave sound that remains one of Queen's all-time best tracks. Other highlights include one of the band's most underrated songs, "Calling All Girls," as well as the anti-rifle protest "Put Out the Fire," and the charming love song "Las Palabras De Amor (The Words of Love)." Of all the dance-oriented material, the best is undoubtedly the U.S. hit "Body Language," while "Dancer" and "Cool Cat" are worthwhile listens as well. | |||||||||||||||

Report this review Reviews Very underrated Queen albumProper Queen fans probably either dont or wont be too keen on this album as its a bit different from their usual stuff but, as a bit of a fan myself, think its got some of their best standalone songs on it. Las Palabras, Calling all girls, Action this day and Under Pressure are the standouts. Enjoy. Review ID: 10000000007115919 Was this review helpful? Report this review  Queen - Hot Space2 of 3 people found this review helpful. Hot Space was did not generally go down well with fans at the time. Released in 1982 this album takes to a different style (one which was around at the time) and the result is disappointing. Tracks go from the down-right silly Body Language to the excellent Under Pressure - a collaboration between Queen and David Bowie. The album itself tends to get better as it goes on. Some of the songs from it, like Las Palabras de Amor and Under Pressure are included on the Platinum Collection and therefore, if you have this then you will not need to buy Hot Space. If you are intregued by the other tracks on the album then why not buy Live at the Bowl which gives a live insight into some of the tracks. The live insight, is however, also makes the songs a lot better than they are on the album. Review ID: 10000000000139317 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
