New Sound Album
 Hot Space (Music) / int_22093e9b
comment
New Sound Album: The album went further into synthesized dance music than The Game, with prominent funk and disco elements. This turned out to be more polarizing, and for The Works, they returned a bit into the classic sound while retaining the new direction.

Three Minutes of Writhing: The music video for "Body Language ↑⬱" consists primarily of scantily-clad women slowly and sensually moving around in a sauna, which got it banned from MTV.

Dude Sounds Like a Lady: Freddie in a couple songs. Most notably "Under Pressure", to the point where David Bowie had his bassist, Gail Anne Dorsey, take up Freddie's role when he performed the song at the 2000 Glastonbury Festival.

Lyrical Dissonance
 Hot Space (Music) / int_dbfd6b8
comment
Lyrical Dissonance: "Put Out the Fire", a cheery pop-rock tune... And the lyrics are told from the perspective of a man who used his gun against everyone he had a problem with, including his unfaithful lover and his neighbor she was having an affair with, alluding to the murder of John Lennon. "Under Pressure" is an incredibly upbeat and cheery song with lyrics such as "It's the terror of knowing what this world is about / Watching some good friends scream 'let me out'".

comment
Canon Immigrant: "Under Pressure" was initially released as a non-album single in October 1981; it was ultimately incorporated into the album's tracklist a year later, hence its radically different sound from the rest of the album and the six-month gap between its single release and that of "Body Language ↑⬱".
