Title: The last great album by Queen
Review: This album documents Queen's last album as a confident band. After this, everything changes, and they start doing stuff to please others rather than themselves. They would never, for instance, produce a pop classic like "Calling All Girls." The muddied production that scars the rest of their albums, as well as quoting their own songs, is not present on Hot Space. Sure, there's wimpy electronic drums, but there is on Prince albums, too. It's the songs that are strong, and they're not afraid to do funky stuff, following thier bliss. I abhore the revisionist Brian May, going on about how he hated doing the funky stuff. Listen to his solo on "Back Chat." I really think this album is a document of a band at a crossroads. Fans who have listed to Greatest Hits and likes it should by this album well before Innuendo, The Miracle, and Made in Heaven.
Is the review positive or negative?
