I wouldn't buy a Hives album, basically because I have this thing where I buy American and I advise you all to do the same. I mean sure the Hives are alrite, but they don't hold a torch to the Makers, who have been doing it for about ten years longer and the Makers still rocked more than the Hives when they didn't even know how to play their instruments. The whole Swedish scene bothers me, because it's chock full of "rawk" bands that want to be the Didjits -- if you don't know the Didjits, check them out before you check out any of their ripoffs, basically the Swedish rock scene is to the Didjits what Screeching Weasel was to the Ramones. Except for the International Noise Conspiracy, but that's just because they're so busy ripping off the Nation Of Ulysses. So anyways, the Hives seem like a waste of my time, because they can't possibly stack up to the Makers (who are also the reason I can no longer listen to anything Estrus puts out besides Makers albums, they're so fucking good that there ain't a garage band in the world that can compete), try as they might, they just can't do it.
quote:It's like the Stooges ate the Rolling Stones and then went out pretending to be the Beatles.
I could kinda see that, but for the Didjits or the Makers it would be somewhere around the Rolling Stones killing the Beatles in cold blood, with knives, before going off to do a bunch of Meth with the Kinks. Then the Stooges come in and eat them. Something along those lines. |
