It's good... when you know that the following albums will be more 'rocky', but I wouldn't like to be a Queen fan in 1982 ;)

I like the album! The only song that I don't care for is "Body Language". I'm 18 going on 19 and I've been a Queen fan all of my life.
Im 14 and I love Backchat, Body Language and Under Pressure!
I have always had a soft spot for Hot Space - having it heard so many times growing up (my old cassette copy used to accompany me on holidays).
In terms of the songs, my favourites are (aside from the obvious Under Pressure):
Staying Power, Back Chat, Las Palabras De Amor & Dancer.
I don't have an strong like or dislike of Calling All Girls, Life Is Real or Action This Day.
As for the final 3 - Cool Cat, Put Out The Fire & Body Language, which are some of the worst tunes Queen ever released.

It's my favourite album along with ADATR and The Miracle.
When I listened to it for the first time i hated it. When I listened to it for the second time I thought:"Hmmm that's not that bad"
Now (2.5 years later) I love it
I like the 80's feeling and sound on it
Now I'm 18

Hot Space is one of those albums that NON Queen fans enjoy. Top 40 lovers, will love Hot Space. I love every song on the album.
People who hate the album are just Queen fans who don't know something good when they hear it. Queen were versatile. I'm glad they did the album... it's one of my favorites.
And I play the cassette in my truck and the album really gets the females dancing. I remember playing Body Language, blasting it, while going thru a McDonalds drivethru. It was funny.
But a lot of people who arn't hardcore Queen fans, will like it.
I'm a hardcore Queen fan.. but I like all kinds of music. I don't just like fairy tale rock, I like everything.
I guess the people who bought the single of Body Language, wern't Queen fans, as it was #11 on the charts. It seems everyone today hates it, unless they arn't a Queen fan.
My favorites
1. Dancer
2. Put Out The Fire
3. Under Pressure
4. Body Language
5. Calling All Girls
And I like the rest of the songs, but couldn't fit them all into my top 5. And I like Soul Brother as well.

Hot Space is pretty dern awesome. I still don't have it yet!
The fact that it's one of their most underrated albums draws me in for some reason.

Im 16 years old and i think its brilliant, really underrated and over looked just because its labeled as dance or disco, dosnt mean it is not that good, infact i think its great they tried a different avenue,from stadium rock/pop,i mean sure it wil never stand up to albums like ANATO or queen 1,2 and SHA, but its really not that bad, and would knock spots off some of the 'bands' these days.

i would
if only because of the tour
hot space tour is the last brilliant thing as far as touring goes
such a funky album, but such a rocking tour
for example. the transformation on staying power from studio to live
amazing stuff
and fred was imo at the peak with his voice

... I'm seventeen and I like it.
For a little background, I don't even like rap - and I have NO IDEA what artists are popular today (and am really amazed when I hear that "Justin Timberlake" is one of them - I thought he was dead).
I'm willing to give any genre of music a fair chance. But some of them used up their chances. I try to listen to a little of what's Top 40 every now and then (when I'm bored enough to flip stations - ie, the BBC is repeating), but I usually just turn it off because I guess I've just lost my taste for it - it all sounds the same to me now.
I would relate my like of Hot Space more to disco than rap or current music. Freakishly enough, I like some disco.
Like Queen II and Sheer Heart Attack, for me this was one of the albums that I just liked the first time I heard it. The previous album "The Game" just ... left me feeling like I had made a mistake in buying it (hasn't really grown on me, though some of the songs are okay).
I may have some affection for "Put Out the Fire" because it coincided with the one time the Army recruiters called me on the phone... and once when I was playing DOOM... which gave me a good laugh.
I'm not crazy about the track order, though. "Las Palabras de Amor" is so different to my ears that I don't like how it just pops up... then again, maybe someone else appreciates that...

I love every song on the album, though it's deffinitly not something you would except Queen to produce.
