Hot Hot Heat - Happiness Ltd (W/Dvd) (Spec) [Special Edition] (Audio CD)

Hot Hot Heat was the most pop-minded out of all the bands reviving garage rock and new wave in the early 2000s. It made sense that after the indie success of Make Up the Breakdown, they graduated to a major label for their second album, Elevator, which found them broadening their sound at the expense of the hooky songwriting that made them successful in the first place. Some of the same problems crop up on Happiness Ltd., albeit for slightly different reasons. Elevator's disappointing reception seems to have inspired the band to return to Make Up the Breakdown's energetic style, while keeping the clean, relatively lush production of Elevator and continuing to experiment with different directions on Happiness Ltd. The result is a muddled album that gets even farther away from Hot Hot Heat's former glory even as it tries to recapture it.
