Classic Album Review: The Hives | Your New Favourite Band

We all know it’s a cash-in — but do they have to make it so obvious?

This came out in 2004 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):

 


If The Hives really are your new favourite band, you might want to pick up this compilation of rawer older material, joined by four cuts from 2000’s breakthrough Veni Vidi Vicious.

HITS: Hate To Say I Told You So; Main Offender; Die, All Right!

MISSES: The whole disc is only 28 minutes long. OK, we all know it’s a cash-in — but do they have to make it so obvious?

EXTRAS: A DVD of videos, TV and live footage.
