Reviews
Rolling Stone (7/19/01, p.50) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...It's a heady, eclectic mix, and, like the best of the band's work, as satisfyin gas it is unique..." Spin (8/01, p.129) - 7 out of 10 - "...Hotwires Dirty South jeep beats for a carriage ride through Middle Earth....HOT SHOTS II finds the Betas inventing vegan-bouce..." Entertainment Weekly (7/20/01, p.66) - "...Harmonically dense sing-along mantras....but like true new-millenium hippies, they ask a lot of questions...perking up their ruminations with new-wavey synths and Keith Moon-style drum frenzies..." - Rating: B+ Q (Summer/01, p.97) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...Mighty impressive....a stride towards true excellence..." CMJ (7/30/01, p.4) - "...A wonderfully sprawling masterwork..." Vibe (8/01, p.162) - 3.5 discs out of 5 - "...Focuses attention on their greatest strength: th emelodic self-harmonizing of guitarist/vocalist Steve Mason....a hypnotic tapestry of sounds..." NME (Magazine) (12/29/01, p.59) - Ranked #43 in NME's 50 "Albums Of the Year 2001". NME (Magazine) (7/14/01, p.45) - 8 out of 10 - "...A dizzy, magical voyage of self-discovery - concise where its predecessor was unfocused, immediate where the pop urge was once lacking..."
Additional information
Lauded in the film HIGH FIDELITY and hand-picked by Radiohead to be the opening act for that band's AMNESIAC tour, The Beta Band has ridden an underground buzz that's turned them into the hottest Scottish musical export since Belle & Sebastian. For HOT SHOTS II, the Betas have continued down the path of pomo folk-rock that is littered with plenty of cut-and-pasted guitars, synths, samples and loops. Throughout their second album, this quartet of Scots blithely mixes genres and sounds together with a wonderfully reckless abandon. "Broke" is a crossroads where Kraftwerk-flavored beats, dancehall rhythms, and trance-y vocals all meet, while the ethereal "Quiet" shambles and soars in a way that recalls MEDDLE-era Pink Floyd. Other highlights include "Human Being" and its slow build-up of piano, digital delays, and chanting that leads into a Farfisa-driven rave-up, and the eclectic "Eclipse," which ponders the meaning of life amid backwards beats and gorgeous harmonies. Also notable is the bonus track "Win," which fuses lyrics from the Harry Nilsson classic "One" with white toast rapping, a shuffling rhythm section, and bleeping synthesizers. Like Radiohead, The Beta Band has casually reshaped the ever-changing face of pop music.

Ultimate find, I was looking for one of these for a long time, and when I found this one I had no hesitation in purchasing it, the seller was extremely helpful and communicated very well. The price with the postage was very reasonable and when I got it home the item looked better in person than it did in the picture
