Free Music Notes for Black And White Album
Free Music Review: A mix of great fast songs, and awkwardly strange slow ones.
Hit: 3 Stars
The Hives past 3 albums were all in your face rock albums. They had a good formula. I wouldn't mind if they changed it up a little bit, but that's not really what they did here. They usually only had one slow song on each album, and the songs were good! On the black and white album, there are about 5 slower/experimental songs that are pretty much downright awful. I can't even listen to them. Giddy up and Puppet on a String are just bland, boring and repetitive. I don't mind slow hives songs, just these aren't very good. With those few bombs on the album, I can't give this more than 3 stars. It does have some classic hives songs though. The best in my opinion would be "Square One Here I Come", "Tick Tick Boom", and "You dress up for Armageddon." Overall though, a little disappointing. Maybe not their least creative, but definitely their least appealing.Free Music Review: Very Different
Hit: 3 Stars
The new Hives album is quite good, but very different from their other albums. The songs are catchy, bordering on pop - Hey Little World and Try It Again are something you could dance to. Giddy Up and Puppet on a String are barely recognizable as the Hives. They tried something entirely new, and I would say they succeeded in producing a good album with some great songs. Personally, I prefer the old, garage rock Hives, but the Black and White album is definitely fun to listen to.Free Music Review: If it's not broke . . . . . .

I've always loved the hives, after the new bomb turks called it quits they were supposed to take over as the greatest r & r band, but they failed to reach that plateau on this album. The rockin' songs still rock but the other half of this album is boring, experimental crap that sounds forced and unnatural. Hopefully the hives will return to form on the next record and we can forgive this weak effort.Free Music Review: not what I wanted
