This album finds Hot Hot Heat traveling out of new wave punk riff-dom.. and into the land of the gentlemens band.. Yes, if the kinks indeed were allowed to release a more garage sounding album.. and obviously if you poked Ray Davies with a pin every once in awhile.. You would have Hot Hot Heat's Elevator.. In an album that predominately deals with the bands inability to fit in.. and maintain relationships.. or avoid bad ones.. This is not as high school as i just made it sound.. The band is finding middle ground.. but finding it in stride.. with classic chord structures...This "Elevator" is definitely going up!
This is Hot Hot Heat's most pop heavy album. Some of the songs are classics-"Goodnight, Goodnight" and "You Owe Me An IOU" for instance--but a lot of the songwriting isn't nearly as energetic or entertaining as their previous album, Make Up The Breakdown. Elevator is recommended, but not as much as Hot Hot Heat's last album.
While I don’t like this one as much as, "Make Up The Breakdown", it is still a great CD to have. It is a bit more commercial and I see Hot Hot Heat getting bigger and bigger, so you might as well get used to them.
this cd has been spinning in my little cd player for 4 months. this is the best cd i have heard since '94 green day dookie. BUY and ENJOY!
This is such an awesome album! I like every song on it! Hot Hot Heat is definitely one of the best bands around right now. Steve Bays is a genius of a musician!
