Hot Hot Heat: Happiness Ltd. Review
Hot Hot Heat’s Happiness Ltd. has gotten some mixed reviews especially on Metacritic where they have a 61 score at the moment. The sound that Hot Hot Heat is shifted to a more mainstream sound but they still retain their catchy-ness.I sometimes don’t agree with the majority critics but this time I find that Hot Hot Heat’s Happiness Ltd. is a decent album with some you can really like. If you are a HHH fan you shouldn’t be disappointed. I’d say this album is a 4 out of 5 and worth to stay on my computer.
It’s weird when the critics on the album just because it has become more mainstream. I think this is the case here because there is nothing that yells drastic change and something you can smoothly transition to. I think I was more of a fan of this album then “Elevator”.
If there are some downsides, there are a few mediocre not worth your ears type songs but those are few and far between. This album gives too much of an “EMO” vibe though. First the title of the album and I feel like the songs could be more appropriately titled. This may have influenced people as I was ready to NOT listen to this album based on the song titles alone. Alas, I am glad I took the time to listen to this album.
