Análisis (en inglés) - :
It's easy to fall into the trap of blaming the band for the marketing; while Sweden's {$Hives} have been turning out unhinged, purebred {\garage punk} since 1997, it was only in the climate of 2002 -- and a spate of newly hyped return-to-{\rock} bands like {$the Strokes} and {$White Stripes} -- that they emerged as critical darlings. While not even their first U.S. release, {^Your New Favourite Band} (the cheeky title isn't doing them any good either) is a well-timed and well-chosen introduction to the band. It collects four tracks each from the two {$Hives} full-lengths (1997's {^Barely Legal} and 2000's {^Veni Vidi Vicious}), plus four more from their EP work. They're neither as disciplined as {$the Strokes} nor as faithful to music tradition as {$White Stripes}, though these facts do much to lift them above both bands. {$Hives} songs are short, uneven blasts of pure {\aggro}, barely controlled but occasionally played with a few subtleties intact. Nothing they play sounds particularly new, their inheritors extending from {$the Stooges} to {$the Buzzcocks} to {$Minor Threat} (American {\hardcore} is a big influence) and even {\Ash}. Still, the {$Hives} break right through all the marketing hype because they never sound contrived or poised. Lead singer {$Howlin' Pelle Almqvist} must surely be foaming at the mouth as he delivers the largely incoherent middle section on {&"Untutored Youth,"} and the group sounds refreshingly innocent bashing out {&"Supply and Demand,"} {&"Mad Man,"} and {&"Hate to Say I Told You So."} [The Japanese edition also features the videos for {&"Hate to Say I Told You So,"} {&"Main Offender,"} {&"A.K.A. Idiot,"} and {&"Die, All Right!"}] ~ John Bush, All Music Guide
