The Hives - Veni Vidi Vicious

If The Hives are the future of mainstream rock music, we are all going to hell.

In recent months, everyone has been buzzing about The Hives. From knowledgeable music critics, movie stars, the press, fellow rock stars to MTV personnel and hosts – everyone seems to have found their new favorite band. They’ve all shot immense praise at The Hives – citing their flair and rock n’ roll sound as ‘the next big thing’.

Since I am neither a rock critic, movie star, rock star nor a member of the mass media or MTV, I can safely tell you that this CD is a giant pile of shit. Pure uninspired ass leakage of the highest possible magnitude. If I wanted to listen to good garage inspired rock n’ roll, I’d pick up a Guitar Wolf record, a Murder City Devils record or heck, an Andre Williams record.

If this is the future of mainstream rock music, we are all going to hell.
