Elevator is the latest album from the band Hot Hot Heat. With many fun beats, unique tracks, and beautiful vocals you're bound to fall in love with the album. The album art is very neat, and it's funny because there is no track 13, and the album is called Elevator. Anyways, it starts with a short intro then follows with a great track called, "Running Out of Time." Next comes their first single from the album called "Goodnight Goodnight." Then is a song with very witty lyrics called "Ladies and Gentleman," and then "You Owe Me an IOU" which seems to be a favorite of many fans. Then is a short instrumental song called "No Jokes, Facts" then "Jingle Jangle" which is a much slower song compared to all the others but very beautiful. The next two tracks are "Pickin it Up," and "Island of the Honest Man." Following that is "Middle of Nowhere" which is the second single and a song that attracted many people to the band Hot Hot Heat. Then another slower song called "Dirty Mouth," then a song who will touch anybody with a heart called "Soldier in a Box." Then comes a very fast, fun song that is one of my personal favorites called "Shame on You." The last song on the album is called "Elevator." The album is general is very unique and beautiful and is a great album to have while you're waiting for the release of the new, and very improved album Happiness Ltd.!

I love the last album but this one is such a huge disappointment. The dance-synth has all but disappeared and it's been replaced with some really lame attempts at '50's and '60's pop.

Hot Hot Heat's album Elevator is incredible. It's packed with catchy songs that'll have you singing right along, including Running Out of Time, Goodnight Goodnight, You Owe Me an IOU, Pickin' It Up, Island of the Honest Man, Middle of Nowhere, Elevator... there is no bad song on this album! It's definently worth your money, and HHH's other music is surely worth checking out.

I bought this CD the day it came out and I haven't stopped jamming to it YET. Hot Hot Heat makes music that just makes you feel good, it just makes you HAPPY! I also have Make Up the Breakdown and it too is an awesome CD. But to me, the tracks on Elevator just seem to have more substance, better lyrics. Practically every song is a hit, but some of the especially good ones-- "Island of the Honest Man", "You Owe Me an IOU", "Soldier in a Box", and, of course, the title track "Elevator". Ah.. Hot Hot Heat.. my favorite.

No fillers - this stuff is toe-tappin' finger-lickin' excellence. No pretence - a wave of catchy tunes carries right through to the end :)
