The Hives – Veni Vidi Vicious

Artist: The Hives

Title: Veni Vidi Vicious

Label: Epitaph

Rating: 7/10

The Hives bring their punk-rock styling all the way from Sweden.

All right!:
“Die, All Right” – Pure adrenaline, with some pop sprinkled on for flavor.
“Main Offender” – Buzzzzzzz.
“Find Another Girl” – Bizarre.

Okay:
“A Get Together To Tear It Apart” – If I could keep up perhaps I’d be down.
“Hate To Say I Told You So” – Right on!
“Statecontrol” – Gonna lie and cheat.

The Hives bring a lot of old school punk back to the table. They expect to take over the world, I’d say wait a bit because these guys aren’t dealing the punk that America has fallen in love with. The Hives do bring true punk, not the Blink-Sum nonsense.
