The Hives
 

Does anyone like The Hives? Their new album comes out next week, I'm pretty stoked. I really dig the new single "Tick Tick Boom".

I'm pumped!!!

My speakers are gonna get a workout!!

Tick Tick Boom is awesome. I'm super-excited for this album as well.

Love.

Glad to see other fans here! I picked up the new album yesterday, it's amazing. I really like "Try It Again"

i was thinking about checking them out but then i saw they were on some kids network and i was like screw that

I used to reall like them a couple monthes ago..now I don't really listen to them at all...but they are not a bad band

That's a bit quick to change your mind about a band's worth.

I think if you are in a club and are on your tenth pint then THE HIVES kick arse. Otherwise they are an adequate yet unoriginal rock band. They know what buttons to press riff wise I think.

Oh, I haven't really changed my mind about how good they are or anything, I just simply used to really into that type of music, but now not so much..but I don't think they are a bad band or anything at all

are they still not naming there albums?

I just talked to The Hives yesterday and they're starting on a new album in about a month. Too bad it won't be out for another year or more

Huh?
who are you that you get to talk to the hives?

What album do you recommend for starting with them?

I say go with Your New Favourite Band to start with.

They are much better live than in studio though.

Thx a lot.

They really sound like a French mods band called the Hushpuppies.

From what I've heard they seem good. The singer I guess is trying to pull off the Mick Jagger-Iggy Pop thing...

I like their riffs.

Their newest album is their worst yet. "Tick Tick Boom" is a great song, though. Favorite albums are probably Veni Vidi Vicious and Tyrannosaurus Hives.

I havent heard their new album nor have I listened to them in a long, long time and although they may not be groundbreaking by any stretch of the imagination they are great pub/party music and a decent live band. Ive always liked their image too.

I couldnt help but laugh when I saw them play Download Festival a few years back. Per Almqvist was exceptionally entertaining in handling somewhat of a diffcult audience. Bands like The Hives are always going to get a lot of stick playing there and crowds at Donington have always had a tendency to greet those bands they dislike with a nice warm, glass of piss.......

i agree that the latest from the hives isnt the greatest. but i do like it. especially songs like Try It Again.

They also put on one of the greatest live performances out there. So much prescense.

I reccomend listening to Veni Vidi Vicious. Tyrannasarus (spelling) Hives is great aswell.

I rather like The Black and White Album, even though it doesn't quite hold its energy all the way to the end. Their sound hasn't evolved much over the years, but those kickass riffs, especially on Veni Vidi Vicious (by far their best album) gets me everytime.

The Hives - Go right ahead - YouTube

No idea. I dig the song though. Good traveling music.

Good garagey punky rock.

I like the cut o' their jib.

Snappy dressers too.

Was very cool that they had a song used for promo on the kids' TV channel Nickelodeon awhile back. Kids need rock too, instead of all fake Disney music and hearing their older sisters' Lady Gaga albums.

your right brian! kids should be listening to rock not bieber! :)
