Tyrannosaurus Hives

Veni Vidi Vicious American punk rock seems to get more watered down with each passing year. Leave it to the Swedes to remind the USA that we were once the home of the Stooges and the MC5. The Hives' Veni Vidi Vicious owes its very being to Detroit's punk genesis; they may be decades too late, but ...	Black And White Album It's about time some authority finally declared the Hives the greatest live band in the world. And The Black and White Album, their third U.S. full-length, as a jaw-dropping facsimile of a band leaping and lurching live, three feet from your face. Big backing vocals, propulsive r...	Your New Favorite Band (Bonus DVD) With their mix of '50s rock, '60s garage, '70s punk, '80s new wave and plenty of attitude, The Hives are the hottest band on the planet! You didn't know that?

Is This It With all the media hype that dogged the Strokes before the release of their debut album, it's rather apt that they chose the title Is This It. On the strength of just five songs released on two singles, the Strokes were being hailed as everything from the saviors of rock & roll t...
The Hives - Tussles in Brussels "Hellooo Europeans...Do you like your rock with punk in it?" If you squint, he looks like Mick Jagger with a few added inches in the height department, but Hives frontman Howlin' Pelle Almqvist kicks and struts more like Iggy in his prime in this live gig from October 29, 2004. H...	Winning Days Japanese version of 2004 album from the Aussie rockers features 12 tracks including 1 bonus track, 'Drown The Baptists'. Copy Controlled. EMI.	Room On Fire An acclaimed debut prompts one of two kinds of follow-ups: either the band strives to broaden their palate or they attempt to deepen the colors they splashed all over that heralded first effort. The Strokes' second outing falls in the latter camp. In the tradition of the Ramones'...	Highly Evolved Hailed by a growing number as "the future of rock," the Vines are more a conglomeration of the best of the past. The Sydney, Australia, quartet sounds alternately like Nirvana, the Beatles, T. Rex, and even the Beach Boys (and, at times, all of those blended together). On Highly ...

Awesome
I gave this CD to my 10 year old nephew and he loved it, said it was AWESOME, and proceded to put it on and dance to the whole thing! He said I scored...

In a class of their own
I like rock music but somehow these guys were not on my radar, but I saw them perform at venue in MD since I am from Baltimore. And I must say that I felt embarrrrrrassed because I consider myself a lover and fan of everything dealing with music but I did not even know about these guys. I knew of The Vines and that's what I thought when I went to the venue, "Maybe it is a Type-O". To make a long story short after the venue was over I was blown away, there live performance and showman-ship was LIKE THAT and so I made it a point to purchase every album that they ever put out. The Defense Rests.

Do you like good music? Then get this album.
I saw their performance of Walk Idiot Walk on the Letterman show, and i was thoroughly impressed with their rocking, i thought the hives were like a mix of the Kinks and the Rolling Stones. The more i listen to the hives the more I love them, the rhythms and lyrics are infectious, and the performances impressive. Very few bands of the Oughties rock as hard as the Hives. If you're sick of wuss rock, get this album and believe in rock and roll again. highlights include: Walk idiot walk (of course), B for Brutus, A little more for a little you, and No Pun Intended

I've got the hives (literally)
I picked up this Hives album; and I had a chance to listen in depth now; I must say, its quite infectious. THe most readily listenable thing on there is two timing touch- and thenthe other songs grow on you more slowly. At times there is a digital quality to the punk music here; a ratcheted up drum quality; there is some really catchy frenetic quality to it; and although there isn't remotely the depth or tonal quality of say, the Strokes, its still fantastic and a must have for your New millenium sort-a-punk CD collection

Dude it's a Manic Episode!
To mania or not to mania,that is the question! Yes my fellow punk rockers "The Hives" rocks a** and if you simply disgree with my opinion i advise you to listen to one of their tracks,just make sure you have your speakers turned high,and i assure you if you don't feel like there is a bubbly Tyrannosaurus hopping with you,just try to jump & fly! Yes everybody it's a rockin punkin album,and those lyrics,i don't know where on earth do they come up with such disoriented lyrics,but i know when you're feeling low and you want to hyper your senses,just play this album. I mean after Franz Ferdinand's "take me out", i thought they'll never be a good punk rock song but then i heard The Hives'"Two-Timing Touch and Broken Bones" and I'm like,wait,what was that? then came "Walk Idiot Walk" and I was like,no wait,seriously what was that?? Then I bought the album and thought this is pure mania,like awesome music you maniacs,ditch the lithium,get The Hives. Batteries not included...
