I find it impressive when albums can do so much in short time. I am much more accustomed to long and meandering albums that don't know when to bow out gracefully.
The Hives are a Swedish rock group, and let's just say I haven't been blown away by any Swedish songwriters so far. But each track has an excellent hook, and it's really leaves you wanting more.
I was tempted to dislike this album based on the title alone, but damn, they read me like a book.
RATING: 4/5
