I get so angry listening to hot space. I'm not going to turn this into an argument but loads of fans like queen because of the rock elements and have no interest in outdated funk. I also HATE HATE HATE the fact that all the footage we have of queen left is during this period.

Rain is excellent.
No funny comments this time, I'm trying to eat my sandwich.
I quite like it...
I`ve bought "Hot Space" a year ago and when I`ve listened to it I was... hmmm... maybe not disappointed, but amazed, how it was possible, that the band, which was pure glam - rock have "evolved" in to funky, disco rhytms. This album is unequal - it starts with a shitty "Staying Power" and less shitty "Dancer", but then the quality of tracks is growing higher and higher.
Hot Space is a fantastic album. las parabras is such a wonderful song wonder y ppl dont like it
because the album broke a mould...queen strayed from their traditions...and while they may have done the new style very well - it is generally disliked by queen purists (myself included). if you actually grew up (musically) during the II, SHA, ANATO, ADATR, NOTW era then the game and HS would always be a major disappointment
and as for Rain/Paperback writer - this was an era of beatles music i love...my father playing this stuff to death in the late 60s left an imprint on me...i like to think that this period of beatles experimentation later influenced my tastes in queen
and don't knock this stuff - they were doing stuff on four channels that bands still couldn't do well with 24 channels over a decade later!

oh Brenski the Beatles are huge! I would never ever dare to critize what they done well - okay, they had some weak points in their career, when drugs were more important than a good production(Revolution No.9) but as you said:
recorded on 4 tracks, really great compositions, great arrangements and a very own feel! Well, they had to go through the experiences it seems :D
For Hot Space Queen used how many tracks? 24/32? size doesn't matter :-)) I have to admit, I prefer "She said" more than "Dancer"

I was 13 when this album came out and was vilified at school because the band I had been touting released a "disco" album. So I slid into the closet and played Hot Space all the while pushing the merits of Sheer Heart Attack and Queen II.
I still don't mind the album though as many have said it is the most unlike Queen. I don't mind Dancer , Back Chat or Action This Day. And Staying Power is a proven tune live. As a rocker I loved Put Out The Fire and Calling All Girls and appreciated some of the guitar on Dancer. The rest of the album was better on further listen.
Ironically the only tune I felt didn't belong was Under Pressure. The song was released a year earlier on the first Greatest Hits and it's inclusion on Hot Space reeked of desperation (even at the time).
Definately not one of my favorite albums but I can still appreciate it as it was also this tour that I saw them live.

Hot Space is a great album. Queen were experimenting. They weren't afraid to try new things. What could be wrong with that.
I don't think 'Pressure' is the best on there either. Life is Real & Las Parablas now they are great songs

Really? That's one of their greatest songs IMHO. The Beatles, like Queen, were also able to span a rather large set of genres throughout their career.
And, also like queen, their solo stuff was rather crappy (A few of Lennon's pieces aside, of course...)

Yeah it's definitely some kind of conspiricy of evil.
I THINK HOT SPACE IS AN UNDERRATED ALBUM (BY THE PRESS, BASICALY)
I THINK NOBODY PLAYS THE SAME MUSIC TROUGH THE YEARS
HOT SPACE IS IMO A VERY GOOD ALBUM
ITS SOMETHING DIFFERENT...
22 YEARS AGO, QUEEN TRIED TO TEST SOMETHING DIFFERENT
IT HAS ROCK, DISCO, FUNK, BALLADS...
I`VE RESCUED IT A LONG TIME AGO
AND I LISTEN TO IT

I just figured out what IMO and IMHO mean... I think... Jesus, I'm really slow sometimes.
