I know there a bunch of Queen fans here who thinks they can't do wrong but bearing in mind they were the biggest band in the world at the time then brought out this mess...
This guy nails it

IMO - people who genuinely love HS must have multiple auditory disorders.
why?
(along with Works) - the drum and syn drum sound is terrible
the overall production is too tinny and compressed to f*ck.
but each to their own.

Another vote for Hot Space here. It's fucking lazy and blinkered to write it off.

Great that the album is getting a lot of love!

What did the guy say? The video loaded and I saw him and heard one word and them punched my laptop across the room.

The list of bands given tells me the guy need to get out a bit more.

brENsKi I think you are wrong about the studio production. It was a pionner production done by Mack, he also refers this album as his favorite productions. If the writing was great and the album had success, the discussion about the sound would be very different.
The problem with Hot Space is the music not the production.

as i said, each to their own - and that includes personal views on production.
Personally, I think the songs are pretty lazy, but even lazy songs can sound "better". The production for both HS and Works (to my ears) is compressed and tinny.
I'm not (for one minute) saying better production would make these into great albums - it simply wouldn't. I'm saying that the production - and the over-use of synths just compounds the disappointment.
Too many tracks use something "fake" - completely obliterating the classic queen sound.
When Queen dabbled with funk/soul/disco on Jazz (i.e.Fun It) it sounded good; it also sounded like Queen. Hardly anything on Hot Space sounds like Queen.
