The Hives declare guerre nucleaire on the first song of their new album. And completely in accordance with the album title they come, seen and conquer. When after a 28 minute, 12 song long blitzkrieg the mushroom cloud clears up, the competition has been mutated into a bunch of poseurs who secretly listen to Pink Floyd albums.
Vigilante Carlstroem, Nicolaus Arson, Dr. Matt Destruction, Chris Dangerous and Howlin' Pelle Almqvist have made a garage punk masterpiece. It already starts with the basics, where they did everything right so much other garagebands do wrong: they practised the songs before they recorded them, they play in time, they produced the album instead of recording every instrument as loud as possible and though they kept up the speed, they did not try to break the sound barrier. And then the songs themselves. Written by mysterious non-band member Randy Fitzsimmons, they are as sharp as the Hives' suits. Combine the rock 'n roll fury of "Great Balls Of Fire" with the frustration of "I Wanna Be Your Dog" and you'll get the idea. Singer Pelle's ultra-dry production and Little Richard style howls finish it off. Because of The Hives' nuclear strike Sweden can declare itself winner of the Cold War.
