 The beginning is explosive, as if to say 'hey, we’re back!'

 The cosmic void of ideas is often embarrassing.

Hot Hot Heat's album Elevator opens with energetic tracks but soon falls into repetitive garage and pop-rock territory. The vocals are consistently loud but monotonous, and the band leans heavily on influences from others like The Strokes and Radiohead. Despite a cohesive sound mix, the album lacks originality and fresh ideas. Some track endings hint at untapped potential that might have improved the album. Listen to Hot Hot Heat's Elevator and decide if its energetic charm outweighs the lack of originality.
