Excerpt: "this is pop made in outer space... Album opener and first single 'Hydra' sounds like an updated pop version of the theme to cult science-fiction TV show <em>Lost In Space</em>, while the lush 'Near The Desert, Near The City' has us floating in weightlessness, and tunes like 'Leilani' and 'Port Of Saints' makes me imagine little green men dancing around... Picture a more cheerful Joy Division playing in a different galaxy and you might have some idea of what Hotels sound like. <em>Where Hearts Go Broke</em> has its somber moments as well though but overall it’s a pretty fast paced, not to mention fun album."
