Details: Product Description UK vinyl LP pressing of the 2007 album from the Swedish rockers, the follow-up to Tyrannosaurus Hives. Having achieved a considerable amount of international success, The Black and White Album was recorded in different parts of the world to expand the band's sound and experience what other places have to offer. After some initial recording at Hive Manor, the group recorded outside of Sweden for the first time to put music to tape. The majority of tracks were recorded in Mississippi with producer Dennis Herring (Modest Mouse, Elvis Costello). In Miami, they collaborated with R&B superstar Pharrell Williams, (resulting in 'T.H.E.H.I.V.E.S' and 'Well Allright!'), while in London, they recorded at Olympic Studios with Jacknife Lee (U2, Bloc Party, Editors) at the helm (producing 'Hey Little World'). The album's promotion is lead off with the single 'Tick Tick Boom'. Universal Amazon.ca It's about time some authority finally declared the Hives the greatest live band in the world. And The Black and White Album, their third U.S. full-length, as a jaw-dropping facsimile of a band leaping and lurching live, three feet from your face. Big backing vocals, propulsive rhythms, and twin-guitar thickness, will have you convinced the Swedish quintet is playing live inside your head. Yes, the trope of "Tick Tick Boom"-- Black and White's first single--has come up in rock before (P.O.D., Saliva). But the Hives do the exploding "Boom" thing leaner, Pelle Almquist leading massed-vocal choruses and bright, fist-raised guitars--meshing upstart garage punk and sheer pop style. Black and White spills infectiously catchy singles, with the sing-song, stomping chorus of "Try it Again" ("up and down and round again/You get up, you get down, and you try it again") and maracas, and counter-riffing guitars creating a fab dance-floor vibe with the boom-boom-slap of the drums a perfect backdrop. Then there are the other 12 tunes here, a couple electro-tinged and the rest making a persistent case for these Swedes to be burned on your brain. --Andrew Bartlett Product Description Ladies and gentlemen, THE HIVES return with The Black and White Album!
