"TYRANNOSAURUS HIVES!

Tyrannosaurus Hives is all you hoped for and more.

Tyrannosaurus Hives is a record so full of potential hits, it would take a hundred songwriters working for a hundred years to come up with anything like it. Tyrannosaurus Hives is an album recorded in Sweden by Pelle Gunnerfeldt, who also recorded their previous two, despite many of the world's biggest-name producers lining up to work with them. It's the only way we wanted to do it, they say.

Tyrannosaurus Hives is a record by a band so fired up that, if you look closely, you can see small drops of sweat when you open the disc .

Tyrannosaurus Hives is equal parts the end of something old and the start of something new.

Tyrannosaurus Hives has razor-sharp commentary on the world of the Hives today, something you can adapt to your own life and feel they are singing about you.

Tyrannosaurus Hives is the most highly anticipated album by the Hives since the dawn of mankind.

The dumb will nod and stomp in approval. The smart will debate its power forever.

Tyrannosaurus Hives is not an album put together by dudes jamming. It's the result of young men tireless in their search for better and more.

Tyrannosaurus Hives is not a record outlined to fit your life. You must fit your life to IT.

Tyrannosaurus Hives is not at all bad for a bunch of mid-20s Swedish guys from the sticks.

Tyrannosaurus Hives features songs such as:

Walk Idiot Walk: The lead single. A tenacious bassline. A guitar riff so jagged it sounds like it was played with a cattleprod. Lyrics both enigmatic and crystal-clear about life on Planet Earth 2004. Great chorus too. Two Timing Touch And Broken Bones: A drumbeat that sounds like a bullet train with a limp, guitars both classical and modern. This is a song that could only be from this album.

Diabolic Scheme: The album's ballad, where a barrage of horror-movie strings fly in and out over a slow menacing beat. An equal mix of Screaming Jay Hawkins and modern R'n'B. Howlin Pelle earning his prefix with something that sounds like ad-libbed vocals about the deliberate escape and return of the Hives in the public eye.

Abra Cadaver: The first sign of life, the album's opener. 95.6 seconds of anti-subtle and super-intense havoc-wreaking.

As The Hives now gear up to explode across the world's stages once more, they are rightly confident that they have at their disposal all the musical fire-power to complete the job. At the end of the liner notes on Veni Vidi Vicious, there ran the following citation: Confucius says: Ah The Hives. The future is theirs should they want it. The wise old fella had it right: with Tyrannosaurus Hives all ready to go, it's going to be a black-and-white world for 2004 and beyond" (info retirada daqui)
