The Hives - Lex Hives

Review by Russell Warfield

Ultimately, Lex Hives sadly conforms to the patchy-at-best trajectory of the band's major label releases, but at least does so while taking a decisive step back in the direction of being the ferocious rock band which The Hives unvaryingly claim to be, and indeed unquestionably once were.»

Buy now from:

the world's wisest musical council and international rock sensation, the hives, present their fifth stunner- the 12-track contemplation of all law that is hives - lex hives. self-produced, self-played and self-promoted, these 12 songs are not built to fit just anyone. these are not songs that sound equally good played on an acoustic guitar by the campfire. this is not music. this is compressed carbon hidden in the earth's crust for millions of years and unearthed, to be placed in your eardrums. blistering proof can be found with the lead single, 'go right ahead.'
