...great music all over Make Up The Breakdown, their first full-length album with major label Sub Pop, best known as the birthplace of Nirvana. Mixing rhythmic drive with some of the catchiest hooks around, Hot Hot Heat belt out a unique brand of rock so irresistibly fun and spastic that bodies demand to twist and jive along with it. This is dance music for punk rockers...
...official” mix debut, Minesweeper Suite, verges on the epic. Mahmoud Fadl’s Nubian drums ignite the stereo but it’s Donna Summer who graces the final minutes.

"Dahmer," on the other hand, has its own sort of disgusting verisimilitude. It turns out that Jeffrey Dahmer once got paid to "act" spastic in a middle-American shopping mall, and did it for two hours to the utter obliviousness of the authorities. You couldn't make this stuff...
