Information on the new album (source Hivesmusic.com)


Tyrannosaurus Hives features songs such as: Walk Idiot Walk The lead single. A tenacious bassline. A guitar riff so jagged it soungs like it was played with a cattleprod. Lyrics both enigmatic and crystal-clear about life on Planet Earth 2004. Great chorus too. Two Timing Touch And Broken Bones A drumbeat that sounds like a bullet train with a limp, guitars both classical and modern. This is a song that could only be from this album. Diabolic Scheme The album’s “ballad”, where a barrage of horror-movie strings fly in and out over a slow menacing beat. An equal mix of Screaming Jay Hawkins and modern R’n’B. Howlin Pelle earning his prefix with something that sounds like ad-libbed vocals about the deliberate escape and return of the Hives in the public eye. Abra Cadaver The first sign of life, the album’s opener. 95.6 seconds of anti-subtle and super-intense havoc-wreaking.

As The Hives now gear up to explode across the world’s stages once more, they are rightly confident that they have at their disposal all the musical fire-power to complete the job. At the end of the liner notes on ‘Veni Vidi Vicious’, there ran the following citation: “Confucius says: Ah… The Hives. The future is theirs…should they want it”. The wise old fella had it right: with ‘Tyrannosaurus Hives’ all ready to go, it’s going to be a black-and-white world for 2004 and beyond…

After much research, the members of The Hives discovered that Tyrannosaurus Hives had to be located in their own backyard. Two weeks after touring stopped, digging would start. Reports of strange noises heard all over Fagersta commenced. As the '90s layer was still covered in smelly crap, the first layer to be thoroughly searched contained the bleeps and blops of '80s new wave. Interesting! They dug further. The metallic kerrang of '70s punk. Wow! They dug further still. The shaking hair and swinging hips of '60s rock and soul. Useful! Further... Slapback echo, twangy guitar - this must be the '50s. Further. The primal force and sheer joy of '40s RÂ¥n B. Good. Further....further...further. KRITA, JURA...

There were fears that Tyrannosaurus Hives, the major label debut from the Hives could find these Scandinavian punk showmen somewhat compromised. After all, their breakthrough LP, 2002's Your New Favourite Band--a compilation of tracks that date back to 97 and their time on Swedish punk label Burning Heart--worked because it struck exactly the right balance between amphetamine punk snarl and addictive pop gold. Refreshingly though, even under the yoke of a major label, the Hives play their rock & roll like a fuse burning short. "Abra Cadaver" is a two-minute blast of Stooges worship that joyfully confirms the band's pledge to straight-up garage--and intriguingly, it finds lead singer Howlin' Pelle Almqvist sounding more like the Strokes' Julian Casablancas than ever, albeit Casablancas with blood on his shoes and skin under his fingernails. Meanwhile, there's myriad moments where the Hives demonstrate themselves to be far more than a boozy bar-band: "No Pun Intended", which wields a curious complex chord progression you'd perhaps expect from Fugazi, or "Diabolic Scheme" a taut, mid-paced number bedecked with stabbing violin sweeps straight out of a Hammer horror. --Louis Pattison
