    Not a patch on their earlier stuff. This record is dull, not mature, when compared to The Three EP's and the self-titled debut. Here's hoping that their new album will be more exciting.

    It's not quite as immediate as, say, the Champion Versions EP, but 10 plays bear out the truth: this is the best Beta Band record yet, which means you should waste no time getting your hands on it.

    It's good stuff, to be sure -- but if Hot Shots II excites you at all, it's probably time to lay off the pot.
