5.0 out of 5 stars Rub em Down, Rub em Out, December 2, 2008

Years ago I bought everything I could afford off of The Red Light Sting website and this CD along with it. The mix between Hot Hot Heat and TRLS is great. Haircut Economics will give you a taste of HHH and is one of my favorites. If you can't take it, turn away from buying anything here. Both bands have erratic drums and synth sounds mixed with yelling vocals. It's a sound I've tried years to find more of. Baconated Grapefruit is a good song to try from TRLS


As a matter of fact it was this that lead me to buy other HHH CD's. As they progressed they did gain a more polished sound. It's obvious that the newer fans delved into their back catalog and were surprised by the rougher sound. Their older CD's reviews are littered with negative reviews. Sadly, TRLS broke up a couple of years back.

If you like to stray from the beaten path check it out.

2.0 out of 5 stars Poor quality recording, mediocre tunes, November 11, 2004

I am a fan of Hot Hot Heat, Knock Knock Knock remains unrivaled. I had never heard of The Red Light Sting. The Split CD is a great idea and would have worked if not for two things. The first being poor recording quality (not glorious Lo Tech recording like The Black Keys or White Stripes, just bad). The second is Hot Hot Heat's pathetic showing. The Red Light Sting outshine them with their half of the album, yet I have been unable to find a CD of them on their own. Given the chance, could they run circles around the Heat like they did on Split?
