After the mind-bending genre collision of XTRMNTR, it was hard to imagine what Primal Scream might do for a followup. One could hardly expect them to expand on such a broad, sweeping statement, so instead, they've done the smart thing and focused more closely on one particular aspect of their sound. EVIL HEAT finds the band zeroing in on the electro-rock side of things. It sounds like they've spent a lot of time learning the lessons of Suicide's synth-punk and the Motorik sound of classic krautrockers like Neu and Kraftwerk (the latter receives a heavy nod in the form of the gorgeous electropop tune "Autobahn 66").

To satiate the hardcore rockers, there are a couple of garagey raveups here ("City" and "Skull X"), but along with an ill-advised cover of Lee Hazlewood's "Some Velvet Morning," they're the least interesting tracks. On EVIL HEAT, PS generates the most smoke when they're getting down on their synths, whether they're full of paranoia and tension ("Miss Lucifer") or getting all psych-dreamy a la Spiritualized (the beauteous closer "Space Blues #2").
