"Hot Space" from 1982, apart from the Flash Gordon soundtrack, the successor of "The Game". And already on "The Game" Queen began their sound considerably thin out and incorporate synthesizers. Nevertheless, the songs rocked there still enormous. In "Hot Space" but there was, above all, on what was then the first side of the plate, flawless radio or Dance radio presenting, if you will. And to this day I do not understand why it falls through for most people, or rather rejected. Even May and Taylor do not like this album. In my opinion, the change came towards lightweight standard eighties Popstückchen after this album. Because the radio operator "Staying Power," or "Dancer", which still has an incredibly charming rock touch, and the supple "Back Chat" and Taylor's "Action This Day" are great songs that have not yet been produced as smooth as on later albums. Even "Body Language" appeals to me as this minimalist beat just goes well and captures. "Put Out The Fire" is then still a classic rock song May, which belongs to his best. "Las Palabras De Amor" is the typical ballad, the course may not be missing at Queen. Finally, the casual spark of "Cool Cat" and the smash hit of the album "Under Pressure" in a duet with David Bowie. That was in 1982 already its time to start ahead of the rock band of the 70 with a disk so really in the 80s demonstrates great confidence. The rocking Queen I like even better and "Life Is Real" and "Calling All Girls" can not quite maintain the level of the other songs, but 4 stars must be for "Hot Space" already. Only after this album Queen were to normal pop rock band of the 80s. "Hot Space" but was again really nice unpredictable and cheeky.
