4.0 out of 5 stars I wanna turn this energy on., June 26, 2002

Seeing as though they're on Sub Pop, you would think these guys would be half way popular. Seeing as though they're a great band, you would think they'd have more fans.

"Knock Knock Knock" is one of my all time favorite EP's. What it lacks in length, it makes up in quality. Hot Hot Heat has a unique sound, but they fit somewhere in between the punk rock of the 70's and the dance of the 80's. If that's a bad comparison, just listen to the music instead.

The standout tracks on this EP are "5 Times out of 100" and "Touch You Touch You." I will be seeing them live soon, and I can only imagine how amazing their live show is.

What to say about this album? Like it has been said below, some people find this CD to be one of their favorites, and I have to agree. Knock Knock Knock is such an AMAZING EP and has such awesomely written lyrics. The actual CD is really neat, too. It's a clear disc with a little bit of pink and white in the middle. Back into the songs, lyrics, and whatnot, I love this album and every single song on it. The lyrics are definately creative! Le Le Low is possibly one of my favorite songs in HHH history, I love the part talking about how, "mediocrity cold killed your act." It is such a groovy song, worth listening to on repeat all day. Hearing the song "5 times out of 100" will keep you in a good mood for the rest of the day. This song also has a cool remix somewhere on the internet. The next song on this EP is called, "Have a Good Sleep." Although a slower song, it still attracts young and old alike. This is my father's favorite song. Steve Bays' vocals on this song are amazing, they're up and down and almost too awesome to explain (SO BUY THE CD!)
Hmmm. . .Touch You, Touch You. . . It starts out with a bunch of noises and it will make you want to stay for more. The vocals in this song are a bit crazy and maybe a little hard to understand. But, once you figure them out this will be a great song for you to sing at the top of your lungs. Especially the part saying, "No, you won't believe it, not until you see it, no, no you won't believe not until I write it down." And lastly, another favorite HHH hit of mine, "More for Show." Steve sounding a bit sharp in the beginning but his voice starting to even out makes the song very neat and many enjoy this song because they say it tells a story. I love this song, I don't doubt that you will, too. If you are not convinced that you should buy Knock Knock Knock then, I think you might need some therapy. You should also buy Makeup the Breakdown so you don't have as little as 5 songs of Hot Hot Heat because they're so amazing you need 15 just to get by.

5.0 out of 5 stars HHH = love, July 9, 2006

"le le low" is a greaaat song. i love the guitar in it, and the beat always makes me want to dance. In "have a good sleep" the singer does little high note sort of yelps : ]
and like all all of HHH's songs the lyrics are always so witty and incredibly creative. the sound on this EP is so unique, and like no other artits i've hear before.
in "Touch you, touch you" it's hard to get the lyrics right in the beginning. but i think the vocals in this song sound really really great. "5 times out of 100" at first reminded me a little one of their first albums "scenes one through thirteen" in terms of the keyboard. this song is really energetic and my favorite part is about 3/4 of the way through it when the song slows down a bit.
"More for show" is great and of course has amazing lyrics like " a dollhouse drawn in sand. the random lack of dirty hands". and it's a complete feel good song.
