referencing Evil Heat, CD, Album + DVD-V, NTSC, Ltd, EK 87027

"Evil Heat" is Primal Scream's follow-up to their amazing album "Xtrmntr." While it contains some of the elements that made the prior album great, this one lacks in its songmanship and production at moments. Tracks like "City" and "Rise" are OK songs, but don't quite measure up to other tracks on the album and seem like obvious filler.

However, other tracks such as "Autobahn 66" and "Deep Hit Of Morning Sun" are some of the best work they've done, incorporting elements of Kraftwerk and Suicide into their psychedelic pop sound. Their Nancy Sinatra cover "Some Velvet Morning" is also of note, mainly because of the dense production featuring the Two Lone Swordsmen.

This album is definitely a must for Scream fans, as well as fans of Digital Hardcore and the like. Casual pop listeners who remember their earlier years need not apply.
