Details: Product Description The Hives return to the forefront of the music scene with the blazing 2004 album 'Tyrannosaurus Hives'. The followup to their smash 'Veni Vidi Vicious CD which featured the worldwide hit 'Hate To Say I Told You So'. With 'Tyrannosaurus Hives' the band reaches new heights & reestablishes themselves as one of the world's best rock outfits today. 'Every track on this record will be sure to make you move', said the band's Howlin' Pelle Almqvist. 'It's straight from our roots - pure in your face punk.' Amazon.ca This Swedish garage-punk band that faced off against the Vines on the MTV Video Music Awards in 2002 after the release of is breakthrough Veni Vidi Vicious album still sounds like it's in battle mode on Tyrannosaurus Hives. Violent songs such as "Walk Idiot Walk" and "Abra Cadaver" jerk forward in a noisy collision of surf guitars, frantic rhythms, and front man Howlin' Pelle Almquist's preposterous barks. He's part ringleader, part instigator, and the main ingredient that keeps the Hives' Nuggets-inspired retro rock from sounding as dated as its influences. Despite a few light electronic touches, the band sticks largely to formula throughout this album but by keeping the focus on its biggest assets--simplicity and volume--it comes out triumphant nonetheless. --Aidin Vaziri
