The Warning (CD)
The Warning is a statement of intent that will show people the true nature of Hot Chip, and allow the band to rightfully assume the position in the spotlight they deserve. The Warning follows on the heels of their debut album Coming on Strong and the heavily touted single "Over and Over", perhaps Hot Chip's most immediate and monstrous single to date, which delivered a sly dig to those who heard them as too 'chilled out' first time around. The Warning has a unique and infectious feel and is a huge step forward with rugged beats and thick bass lines layered by smooth vocals. It also offers an indication to their immaculately layered pop voyeurism, while simultaneously driving the point home with the classic remorseless, relentless repetition we know and love.

| Great album which is a grower so give it a few listens before making a judgment. Don't expect every song to be like "Over and Over", tracks 10 and 11 are quite laid back and mellow but very good nonetheless. Overall it is a very nice album. | |

| A very awesome album. I'm loving the electronic vibe. This British ensemble throws out some very impressive tracks. My favourites being the title track "The Warning" and their biggest hit "Over And Over". A worthy buy indeed. | |

| A little disappointed with this release. Sounds very Postal Service, but a lot more awkward. I bought it on a whim, and totally regret it. | |
