    They have developed into an almost evangelically uplifting and powerful rock unit.

    For better, and for worse, this is a band who still haven't figured out who they are. [Jul 2006, p.95]

    Noble and determined, 'Left' proves that while HOTS are capable of stirring thoughts and emotions, it's only when they reach full throttle that they truly move hearts and minds.

    While not as strong as their debut, there are some rather special tracks on this, particularly the download / vinyl only single, Blood Meridian.
