    At its best, Hot Hot Heat is a reminder of what’s made these guys consistently good and periodically great.

    With just the right mix of nostalgia and looking forward to what's next, Hot Hot Heat puts a neat bow on the band's career.

    On Hot Hot Heat, the quartet jettison stylistic pretensions altogether in order to write their best batch of songs in a decade. There's a sense of nostalgia that permeates these ten tracks.

    There are moments when their roots peek through, such as on 'Sad Sad Situation,' but this record feels more like a well thought through progression and career finisher than an attempt to indulge in nostalgia.
