On paper Evil Heat should have been just as good as XTRMTR, they had a pretty similar style and approach on that album, but it just doesn't sound as powerful as the album before, XTRMTR's sound just came out of fucking nowhere (as do most Primal Scream albums) so Evil Heat was comparitively weaker, so I imagine the tour was fairly cack. You could have been easily fooled into thinking the show I was at was on that tour though, they played only four tunes from the new'un, and most from XTRMTR, largely due, I imagine, to the presence of the producer and guitarist for that record.
