Good old fashioned fast dancey rock. Great live band also great to listen to.
Makes you feel hapy and excited and BRILLIANT. Especilly like Bigger Hole to
Fill and the quirkyness of "A stroll through hive manor corridors". The boys
attitude comes through in these songs - and "try it again" is a really good song
to listen to when you just failed...again. Tick Tick Boom is a fun club tune.
And lots of them just plain cheer you up. Not 5 stars though becasue the track
T.H.E. H.I.V.E.S. originally aimed to feature pharrell williams is really bad to
be honest! Puppet on a String is OKAY but the rest of the tracks totally make
this thing worth getting hold of. Plus the sexy inlay!

If you havent already bought The Hives new Black and White album then you are
definitely depriving your hears, and should immediately add their album to your
collection. The album is jam packed with songs that will have you up out of your
seating dancing and singing along. 

The thing that I love best about their
new album is that they were not afraid to take chances and experimented with
different sounds. The album is not what I expected and thats a good thing. The
Hives are able to make the transition from strictly rock n roll/punk songs to a
more eclectic style. All the while staying true to their rock roots and keeping
their distinct sound that distinguishing them from other musical artists.
There is definitely a strong blues and hip hop-esque influence on this album. I
think most notably heard in the song Giddy up. For those of you who are not into
the whole hip hop thing dont be scared away by my deion. The Black and White
album is definitely a rock n roll album but influences by other genres of music
can be heard. The Hives create their own, new, unique sound. 
Hey Little World
and You Dress Up For Armageddon has more of an old school punk sound to me,
which I really like. 
The album even includes a catchy anthem song-
T.H.E.H.I.V.E.S. 

Buy the new album. If you dont, you are definitely missing
out and depriving yourself.

This is the best album I have bought since 2004, which is strangely enought when
the hives last album came out.  This is rock in its purest and catchiest form
ever...pure energy buy this album

The album opens up with the hit single "Tick Tick Boom" and directly sets the
pace for the remaining part of the album. You barely have time to exhale before
"Try It Again" blasts out of the speakers. A self-made hit. Before you really
know what hit you The Hives delivers yet another of their trademark punk rock
songs in form of "You Got It All Wrong". A relentless punk rock song that leaves
you dazed and confused. "Hey Little World" has the same output. Thats why "A
Stroll Through Hive Manor Corridors" is a perfect song to unwind to. An all
instrumental tune with nothing but a drum machine and an organ. The very cool
"T.H.E.H.I.V.E.S." is the bands take on hip hop and is produced by none other
than Pharrell Williams. With "Square One Here I Come" and "You Dress Up For
Armageddon" The Hives are back on track with their punk rock riffs. "Puppet On A
String" is a song solely based on piano playing and finger snaps on top of
vocals. A well executed tune and shows the bands wide range of skills and
fingertip feeling. The Hives rounds off with "Bigger Hole To Fill". An
astounding display of a punk rock band at their best. The Black And White Album
will surely cement The Hives position as our favourite band.
