"British rock in the royal
tradition," announced the
inser* to Queen's debut
album in 1973, when the
group's Freddie Mercury,
Roger Taylor, John Deacon
and Brian May came off like
heirs to Led Zeppelin.
album review
"Hot Space" breaks from
Queen s usual album recipe.
With liberal doses of loco
rockers, a touch of crooning,
a sprig of trashy camp and a
pinch of pop pastiche, "Hot

Brian May's electronic
guitar doodles are the only
redeeming feature on these
four cuts, especially "Back
Chat."
"Action This Day" closes
Side 1, leaving optimism as
futile funk is replaced by the
tongue-in-cheek descended
from "Bicycle Race."
SIDE 2 is superior to Side
1, with "Put Out The Fire," a
ghost of Queen passed and
the album's only rocker.

"Liar" and "Sheer Heart
Attack," this cut about
iiauuguii luiiii ui at'i vcd ad a
fine introduction to the John
Lennon tribute, "Life Is
Heal."
Stream-of-Lennon lyrics
with musical bits from "Blue
Jay Way," "Imagine" and
"Across the Universe,"
make "Life Is Real" an
authentic pop homage to
Lennon. Rather than
imitating Lennon and the
Beatles, Queen fires its
photon torpedoes dead
center on this track, creating
the proper atmosphere.
"Calling All Girls" is the
sleeper of "Hot Space."
After radio and clubs wear
out the grooves on Side l's
disco disasters, "Calling All
Girls," featuring May's
interwoven guitars, should
be a hit.
DAVID BOWIE refused to
lend backing vocals to "Cool
Cat," and that fact should
reveal enough about this
vehicle for Leo Sayer. If you
thought "Somebody to
I -J t-r . _ sir ??
ijuvf cinu Liuvc vji iviy
Life" were saccharine,
"Cool Cat" is cyclamate
over-kill.
Bowie does appear on
"Hot Space," as "Under
Pressure" has been recycled
without remixing from
"Queen's Greatest Hits."
This rip-off should help sales
of "Hot Space," Queen's
worst LP
