Song Worth Listening To On An Album Not Worth Buying: The Hives

The Hives are a great band, make no mistake. However, you shouldnt buy this album because 90% of it sounds like every other Hives song you've ever heard. This is why when I heard a couple months ago The Hives had a new album out I didn't even blink. I already have two Hives CD's, I think I get it. But recently I read an article that said they worked with Pharrell (N*E*R*D* & Neptunes) on some songs.

Now I was intrigued! Why had no one told me this before. If you're The Hives, isn't this your main selling point?! How'd this nugget of info slip by me? Why waste the money on a Pharrell track and not pimp the crap out of that fact that you worked with him? Labels.

In short, the Pharrell tracks are really the only ones worth listening too. The best song on the album will be the next single.....

"T.H.E.H.I.V.E.S."

See? It's different! Catchy. Infectious.

Also check out "Well All Right" (produced by Pharrell) and their first single "Tick Tick Boom". If you really want to buy a Hives album go with Veni Vidi Vicious or even Tyrannosaurus Hives, but skip this one

Songs Worth Listening To On An Album Not Worth Buying: Head Automatica

Head Automatica released the album Decadence in 2004. Its an album I believe not many people know, but thats OK. The album is not that good. In fact it's almost awful. The album has only a couple bright spots, the first three songs:

The Speed of a Yellow Bullet-

Beating Heart Baby-

Brooklyn is Burning-

I know what you're thinking. "These songs are really good. I want to check out the album". Don't! But if you must, don't say I didn't warn you.

Your welcome,

Adam
