Шаблон:For Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox album Hotwired is the third studio album by the Scottish band the Soup Dragons.[1][2] It was released on April 21, 1992.

The album peaked at No. 97 on the Billboard 200.[3] "Pleasure" and "Divine Thing" were alternative dance singles that became moderate hits in the U.S. Hotwired sold more than 300,000 copies in its first six months of release.[4]

The band supported the album by touring North America with Catherine Wheel; they later toured with Tom Tom Club and James.[5][6][7] "Divine Thing" was used in the film Hellraiser III.[8]

Production

The album was produced by Marius De Vries, Sean Dickson, and Steve Sidelnyk.[9] It was recorded in 1991 and 1992 at Livingston Studios and Advision Brighton. The Soup Dragons were more prepared for the sessions, having written 15+ songs before entering the studio.[10] They band considered Hotwired to be an optimistic album; they also conceded that they still had not quite captured the power of their live sound on record.[11][12]

Critical reception

Шаблон:Album ratings The Calgary Herald deemed the album "bubblegum music sonically gussied up for the '90s".[13] The Los Angeles Times concluded that "the shuffling, dance-rock fusion on Hotwired works only occasionally, most imaginatively on 'Divine Thing'".[14] The Washington Post wrote: "Combining contemporary dance beats and sound effects with gospel-style backing vocals and beat-group touches ... songs like 'Pleasure' mix and match '60s and '90s British youth culture".[15]

The St. Petersburg Times stated that "the band limits guitar technique to power chords, wah-wah pedals and scuffled riffs, fattened up by studio wizardry and layered samples".[16] The Chicago Tribune opined that the band "does little to pull distance from the retro sound pervasive among groups from across the big pond".[17]

AllMusic described Hotwired as the album where the Soup Dragons reached "the happy medium between the slick breakbeats and guitar-based rock & roll," adding that the songs are "among the strongest of the band's career".[18]
