    Rarely does a band bid you farewell and admit it overstayed its welcome in the same breath.

    The resulting record is catchy, but ultimately falls as flat as all their other attempts to recreate the magic of that first release, unable to capture the imagination, energy, and urgency of Make Up the Breakdown.

    Too often there’s simply a lack of focus to the songs on this album, which would have benefitted from keeping things a lot more simple and in line with The Strokes’ indie rulebook.

    This album demonstrates that the desire disappeared long ago and that they were simply prolonging their career to delay the inevitable. For Hot Hot Heat, the fire has definitely gone out.
