The title song and opening track of Hot Hot Heat's third major-label album will throw some people for a loop. Abandoning the group's familiar new-wave stomp, "Happiness Ltd." is a tear-stained ballad with a philosophical kicker worthy of Morrissey: "Happiness is limited but misery has no end." Could it be that the members of the keyboard-fronted Canuck band are growing up and taking stock? Not really. It's just that most of the album was written after singer Steven Bays' split with a long-term girlfriend and it shows. The disco-rock jitters come back soon enough with the next selection, "Let Me In," but there's no denying that the group's horizons have broadened. For every throwback Cure sound-alike, such as "Give Up?," there's a lush retort featuring the Abbey Road Orchestra-like "Outta Heart." With a host of big-budget producers behind the boards--Butch Walker (Avril Lavigne, Pink), Tim Palmer (U2, David Bowie), and Rob Cavallo (Green Day, My Chemical Romance)--it might not represent a complete about-face, but it does represent a band coming of age in a big way. Besides, how sweet would it be if Bays could send a picture of one of those platinum album thingies to the girl who broke his heart? --Aidin Vaziri
