HOT SPACE

It is difficult to process that those who composed one of the greatest rock songs of all time, Bohemian Rhapsody, 8 years later create pieces as far from that path as Back Chat, Body Language or Cool Cat, to name the most divergent. Evolution is part of the almost natural process of all groups, but there are evolutions, and "evolutions" ...

Hot Space was widely controversial for the great legion of fans who had already achieved loyalty until then, and who didn't expect such a radical change in their proposal, although there were already indications with their previous Another One Bites The Dust of The Game. It was the last job they were able to promote live in the United States, after which the doors of that market were closed to them.

Redeemable the successful Under Pressure, the collaboration with David Bowie, the tribute to John Lennon in Life is Real, clearly influenced by the singer and main composer of the Beatles, something of the guitars in the rocker Put Out The Fire, and something also in the sweet Palabras De Amor (The Words Of Love), with its verse in Spanish but light and far from the previous Queen.

Of the rest of the songs, to say that they will not go down in history except for the risk of their proposal. Nothing more than that. Queen's least happy album.
