Simple but good rock by a swedish band that sounds like British punk XD
Comes out kicking and doesn't really relent. I'm not sure I understand the music, however. Supply and demand makes zero sense to me. Maybe there's something lost in the translation from Swedish to English. Whatever it is, AKA IDIOT is great. Good punk music.
Hate to Say I Told You So is a banger. AKA IDIOT is good too... the closing instrumental... on board with that too. Everything else is just a bit stripped down rock with good energy but nothing is really catchy and stays with you.
Not bad but nothing that made it stand out
Definitely NOT my new favorite band
imponerende punkrock
Garagerock, distortion, højt tempo, 00’er
meh
Rock grunge
This started off strong for me with Hate to say I told you so and Main offender but it was all downhill from there. I think maybe I can only enjoy this type of music for a couple of songs worth and then it all sounds stressful and shitty to me. It kind of blurred into one after the first few songs and I struggled to pay attention or get anything out of it.
Hate to say I told you so was another banger off that Air Guitar compilation I've mentioned in other comments on this. So that has a special place in my heart. Really enjoyed this album, I was so in the right mood for it too. I feel must have been a last of it time before pop punky stuff took a nose dive in 00s
Great stuff. Raw, powerful, Hives. Always been a bit of a throw away 00s band for me but actually are really good.
96. Your New Favourite Band - The Hives 12 tracks. A compilation album? Thinking face It starts big & punchy and just delivers all the way through. It's a good album but I do wonder why @1001_albums_gen have included a compilation. The exception that proves the rule perhaps? 4/5
Siri, what does music sound like if a band listens to Parklife on repeat and then hear Sham 69 just as they walk into the studio?
This is a compilation album so it feels kinda weird to have this one listed instead of works like Veni Vedi Vicious or Tyrannosaurus Hives. Definitely should have just had one or both of these albums listed. Aside from that though, awesome collection of post punk songs.
This isn't in my version of the list, but I have to wonder why it's on the list at all. Aside from my own negative feelings towards the early 2000s garage rock revival, this is a compilation. Why is (was) this on the list over an actual album by the band?
Decent! I’ve heard some of these songs
Tego jeszcze nie grali, punk prosto ze szwecji w postaci krazka ktory jest kompilacja szlagierow z dwoch pierwszych albumow, nawet nie wiem jak cos takiego oceniac, bo rownie dobrze moglyby sie na liscie pojawiac kompilacje w stylu top singielkow danego zespolu, przed tym pickiem mialem okazje przesluchac juz jeden z albumow na ktorych opiera sie ta kompilacja, wiec polowe materialu znalem, tym bardziej mnie zdziwilo, ze znam kawalki z plyty ktora pierwszy raz widze na oczy, bo jest to chyba pierwsza kompilacja na liscie albumikowej, jedyny kawalek ktory przypadl mi do gustu z tamtej plyty zostal wystrzelony juz jako opening, wiec chyba trafnie go ulukowalem jako najmocniejszy punkt veni vidi vicious, kolejne 11 trakow brzmi jak punkowe banaly, ktore sluchalne bylyby bardziej gdyby banda miala z nimi cokolwiek wspolnego, ale szwecki punk, jak zreszta wiekszosc szweckiej muzyki, ktora ktos slyszy poza szwecja jest mistrzem w kopiowaniu gatunku i jego sprzedazy, wiec plyta nie ma w sobie zbyt duzo punka, jak na punkowa kompilacje, ciezko tutaj oceniac album, jesli plyta nie jest nawet albumem, poza openingiem krazek w tych 28 minutach broni sie jeszcze ostatnim trakiem, ktory moze zle gugluje, ale wydaje sie byc orginalnym kontentem tej plyty i jednoczesnie pokazuje cos co banda moglaby tworzyc i brzmiec o wiele naturalniej i orginalniej, bo jesli odjac wymuszone liryki i ladowanie po gitarkach ile sie da zeby zagluszczyc tego kocurooprawiacza, to wychodzi calkiem przyzwoite brzmienie, ktore o wiele bardziej slyszalne bylo w 2k10 jak u wczesnych elephantow klatkowych, wiec zamykajacy the hives are law, you are crime leci na plejke
Not really though
Certainly not my new favourite band… Musically it feels very incoherent, it’s just shouting at a microphone.
