Pointless...
since i'm a a fan of their last album "make up the breakdown", i was excited when i heard hot hot heat had a new album coming out. this turned to disappointment when i actually heard it. this album sounds like a pathetic attempt to put out a slick pop album, but it lacks any kind of emotion that would make the songs more than one-dimentional. as cliched as it is, this album really does sound like a sell-out.also, fans of the band who are complaining about this album don't want an album that sounds the same as their others, they just want one of similar quality and integrity.p.s. i think i understand now why the guitarest left after the recording of this album, he probably didn't want the embarrasment of playing this crap live.
