    This twisted, sublime, and otherwise genious U.K. pop outfit's toss-offs, b-sides and radio sessions border on surpassing the group's albums. [#48, p.92]

    It's difficult to hear what was wrong with most of the never-before heard material. [Nov 2000, p.101]

    Hotline holds together remarkably well as an album, due to good track selection and intelligent segueing; in fact, some of the songs actually run together quite smoothly, with no break between songs. Rarely does a rock band forge such a strong identity so early in their career.

    ASTH emphasizes the group's commitment to eclecticism. (Oct. 2000, p.102)

    Some of their best songs are found here. "Bueva Vista" and "Flavors" are particular standouts.
