I think the dislike is in Queen's attempt to go in a musical direction away from their classic rock format.
I think it's got an incredibly poor version of Staying Power(at least compared with the live version off of 'On Fire at the Bowl'. I also think Body Language was the worst single choice the band ever made. The rest of the album ranges from really good to classic Queen perfection.
I couldn't possibly take a shot at a Queen album that contains 'Dancer', 'Under Pressure', 'Action This Day', and 'Las Palbras De Amour'.

I recently listen to “Hot Space” in its entirety the other day. My opinion has not changed since I first heard that record. It still stinks as much now if not more than when it was first released. I am all for artist trying new things, but there is nothing new or interesting on this album. Just a bunch of funk, disco & techno recorded with no inspiration, soul or heart. Instead of incorporating new styles into Queen and making it their own, they simply copied what others were doing at the time. The sound and production are down right awful! Most everything sounds flat & lifeless. Even songs like “Palabras”, “Put out the fire” & “Life is real” are week by their standards and sound more like B-sides. You get the feeling they were rushing to cash in on the success of “Another one bites the dust” and put little or no thought into this disaster. It truly is an embarrassment.
I will admit that the live versions of “Staying power”, “Back chat” & “Calling all girls” sound much better and show potential, had they recorded the album with same depth & drive as their earlier albums or had a better/stronger producer it probably would faired much better.

Perhaps you both have different tastes in music, or is that too far fetched for you two?

It's amazing how many people have complained about their speakers sukkking when parts of that album were played.

Well, I think John's bass has never sounded better on THIS album. In the low frequencies, it sounds killer to me. I'm using a Crown amp and Bose speakers and a Roland KC1 sub.
My ears? Nope. I still think your speakers suck, because it's not "flat & lifeless".

Actually, there are several songs in the album where there's no bass by John: 'Staying Power', 'Body Language', 'Dancer'...
