Oh Lord! When? How?

The Hives

Thirteen minutes of unrefined Swedish garage punk. Blown-out guitars, frantic tempos, and a raw energy that predates their polished suit-and-tie era.

The Hives before they got the fancy suits and learned how to use a compressor.

Unrefined, high-velocity garage punk with a snotty, youthful edge.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The frantic, almost out-of-control drum fill that opens Cellblock.
The sheer absurdity of the vocal delivery on the track with the excessively long candy-themed title.
The way the guitar tone on Bearded Lady sounds like it's physically tearing the speakers.
