Compliments

Whoever wrote this article (as well as the articles for several other Queen albums) has done an excellent job. The articles for "Innuendo" and "Made in Heaven" could desperately use the same attention.--208.135.167.94 04:06, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed — this one's unbiased, informative, almost completely in line with other "standard" rock album pages... and it's a great LP, by the way! Totally underrated. BotleySmith 21:56, 8 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I retract my (now ancient) opinion. These opening paragraphs read like an essay on the influence of "Another One Bites the Dust" upon this album — with no cited sources to back it up. Definitely a no-no. BotleySmith (talk) 05:09, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. A well-written piece. This could serve as Hot Space's liner notes. I wish every album's Wiki write-up was this engaged. I think when an album has a more problematic reputation, it encourages a better-rounded analysis by engaged fans, and clearly you have that here.

I don't think that the ad-lib chatter by Bowie & Freddie in their 'discarded' version of Cool Cat can be regarded as rap! In fact the so-called backing vocals by Bowie is stretching it a bit.

Credits

Why is Roger Taylor credited with lead vocals? Where does he sing lead? BotleySmith 22:10, 14 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"Action This Day": Lead vocals are by Mercury and Taylor (not credited on the album). - Candyfloss 23:00, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Top of the Pops

This article incorrectly claims "Las Parablas" is the band's third appearance, or at least the songs they played beforehand are incorrect. "Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy" was also a Top-of-the-Pops performance in 1976 or 1977.

At least 2 performances of SSoR

There are 2 performances of "Seven Seas of Rhye" on TOTP circulating, so the 1st 2nd 3rd bit of the article is wrong.Sambda (talk) 22:45, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
