The Hives: "we are prisoners to our own creativity"

Swedish rock five-piece The Hives are no closer to announcing a release date for their new album, The Black And White Album, claiming that they are "prisoners to our own creativity".
The follow-up to 2004's Tyrannosaurus Hives has been worked on by many cooks: Pharrell Williams tinkered with the band in Miami, Jacknife Lee in London, and are currently in Oxford with Modest Mouse producer Dennis Herring. Will the broth be any good? I'm hungry. Singer Pelle Almvquist has said of the anticipated LP:
"This new album has been recorded all over the world because we thought it was time to have other people involved besides ourselves and our closest friends.
"At times it has felt like we are prisoners to our own creativity and that it is taking a long time. At this time we have a lot of songs. In the past we only had what was on each album. We ask you to bear with us as we take the time to wrestle this onto an album."
Wrestling bears? The Hives will soon be seen stateside supporting Maroon 5. Yum. Lunch, anyone...?

the Hives ?
Seriously ?
Will someone please
get rid of Jacknife Lee? Seriously...
it could be worse
it could be Tony Hoffer, aka The Man Who Ruined All Your Favourite Bands He Worked On
I never cared for Maroon 5
...but just how crap are they going to look following The Hives onstage?
Whatever your take on The Hives's records, you can't take their live rep from them...
I read a fantastic comment from Maroon 5 the other week...
"We want to make music RED again. There's too many bland artists around at the moment" ...er...that would be Maroon BEIGE included then??
"Prisoners to our own creativity"?
I don't dislike the Hives but surely it's accepted fact that they just write the same song over and over?
Listening to thr Nuggets box set..
All day takes it out of you.
Has it got The Elastik Band - 'Spazz' on?
love that tune
I love how people
still try and criticise The Hives' ego-fuelled narcissm. It's clearly pointless because when you stop and think for a second, you inevitably realise that they definitely are the best and more creative band ever to pick up instruments.
their own creativity?
What happened to the elusive Randy Fitzsimmons? Surely they're prisoners to HIS creativity.
the hives are cool
this post was inspired by the hives tongue in cheek attitude
Jacknife Lee
represents everything thats wrong with modern music
What a disgusting cunt
Yeah, 'specially the 'retard' impression
before the song proper kicks in - there's not enough of that around these days
from wikipedia
His forthcoming album entitled "duets" sees him collaborating with musicians as diverse as Ali Campbell from UB40, Milli Vanilli, Twin Peaks soundtrack creator Angelo Badalamenti, former Three Tenor Jose Carreras, Rick Wakeman from Yes, Michael Hossack from Doobie Brothers, former Van Halen and Extreme front man Gary Cherone, Al Di Meola, Hall and Oates, Brand X, Rainbow, Blue Öyster Cult, Meat Loaf, Fandango and Enrique Iglesias drummer Chuck Burgi, Hoddle and Waddle, Eternal collaborator BeBe Winans, former 911 member Jimmy Constable, Deep Blue Something brothers Todd Pipes and Toby Pipes and Katrina Leskanich from Katrina and the Waves.
WHAT THE FUCK is Angelo "Badass Mentality" up to?
seriously
that line-up is beyond belief
ok
so i read past Hoddle and Waddle before.
"Beyond belief" is putting it lightly. "Absolutely fucking impossible" is closer.
Convincing though, huh?
lol at 911 member
jimmy constable
...
'The Black and White Album'...I like it!
i read that as...
His forthcoming album entitled "duets" sees him collaborating with washed up 80's musicians such as Ali Campbell from UB40, Hall and Oates, former Van Halen and Extreme front man Gary Cherone and Katrina Leskanich from Katrina and the Waves; wankers who don't even sing on their own records such as Milli Vanilli and Jimmy Constable; one hit wonders such as Blue Öyster Cult, Hoddle and Waddle, Eternal collaborator BeBe Winans and Deep Blue Something brothers Todd Pipes and Toby Pipes; a couple of big names and a whole bunch of randoms.
