It looks like they could be working on a fourth full-length. The claimed that they would only ever do three. I actually would like to see another album by them though.

[soundless_space]

I didn't even know they had three albums out.

[marx marvelous]

I thought this thread was going to say that they're not really Swedish or something along those lines.

[Matt]

I didn't even know they had three albums out.

-Barely Legal (1997)

-Vini Vidi Vicious (2000)

-Tyranosaurus Hives (2004)

 

Plus they have quite a few EPs... They are a good punk band though because they are quite innovative. I don't really like the "Green Day" type records.

Frankly 1 album is too many.

[Matt]

Each album is great actually. It's all high-energy, politically inspired lyrics that work well together as a unit.

 

For the fans, here's a cool medley they did... It has portions of a White Stripes song, Hellacopters, Outkast, etc... http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseacti...eoid=2011661507

vh1 should do a 'where are they now' on 'the' bands. you remember 'the' bands, right? the future(s) of rock and roll.

Anyone who thinks the Hives suck don't have to discuss them.

[shade]

Oh ya, did I mention...The Hives Suck.

[saturnine]

it screams college radio station, though. anti-establishment. rrawwwrr.

[Matt]

Alright, if you want to say they suck, lets actually discuss "how" they suck?

[sodamntired]

worst. list. ever.

edit: Matt:

 

i can't say they suck, cuz i really don't remember what they sound like. did they have that video with the lightning in it? or was that the vines. one of them has a video where the singer walks up this wall with a scrabble board on it. i'll say they're forgettable, cuz i know i heard them every day on the radio when that second album you mentioned came out. and you mentioned not liking 'green day' type bands. does that include green day themselves, cuz i sure remember them more than the hives. i haven't listened to dookie in years, but i still remember the tunes off it...fondly. and you said you liked the hives cuz they were innovative, politically charged and high energy. you just described american idiot (i can hear shade's eyes rolling, but a punk rock opera is kinda innovative, and the other two points aren't really disputable).
