"‘Hope In Hell,’ is synthpop as emergency broadcast, queer survival manual, glitter-bombed panic attack, political séance, breakup autopsy, and back-alley joke told while the sirens get closer.
"It feels like Hot Hail! took the polished architecture of ’80s pop and slipped a political hand grenade under the floorboards ... Filthy, smart, enjoyably sick in the head, [and] almost perversely elegant."

“Hot Hail! arrives less as a continuation of the synth-pop/dancefloor tradition, but more as its savior.
“Too seductive to be labeled merely synth-pop, too aware to be simply dance music, too relevant to be post-punk, and, sadly, perhaps a bit too smart to go mainstream, ‘Hope in Hell’ is as unexpected as it is brilliant.”
