Album Review
Rousing, stompin' garage rock from these Swedes, with plenty of mod and frantic punk energy to keep you grooving along. "Party Party!" they seem to be saying, and you just want to join. This is definite change-up from the usual hyperspeed pop-ska-punk dross offered on Epitaph. Perhaps this arises from the fact that these guys are only distributed on Epitaph and yet are actually on the Burning Heart imprint. Plenty of fuzzed, struttin', propulsive guitar work on this disc to assault your ears. Well worth your time to take a spin. More records like this need to exist. [The Japanese edition offers several bonus features, including videos, a website connection, and three bonus tracks ("Untutored Youth," "Fever," and "Mad Man.")]
Recent Customer Reviews
The Hives' breakthough album: Buy it. Hear it. Love it. Repeat.
by kebnabiThis is the Hives album that first put the guys from Fagersta on the map, and if you love garage rock, it's an album that absolutely needs to be in your collection. The first song, Declare Guerre Nucleare, is 90 seconds of kick-a*s bliss, and every song that follows it backs it right up. Main Offender and Hate To Say I Told You So (which inspired a Richard Cheese cover -- clear evidence of its greatness) make you want to start smashing stuff. In a good way. See these guys in concert if you ever get a chance.
Unbelievably Underrated
by Dyoublong?Going back to 2003, when I was only 13 and Animal Collective, Deerhunter, and Grizzly Bear were either nonexistant or in their genesis, The Hives were my first great hope for music. While the three bands I mentioned may have absolutely nothing to do with The Hives, it just is my example how much music has changed in the last 10 years and how different it became from what music journalist were predicting. These guys kicked in the door and could put on a live performance like no other (which I consider myself blessed to have seen during this band's zenith). Veni Vidi Vicious is short, fast, and a hell of a lot of fun. I consider the music community's abandonment of this endlessly enjoyable band a tragedy and I will never hesitate to place this album high on my list of greatest albums of the 00s.
Seriously Kicks A**
by DZ NUTZThis Album rocks. Every song on here, including the slow one, find another girl, are great. Can't believe no one else has reviewed this.
