The Hives - The Black and White Album

[St. Jimmy]

Has a handfull of really great songs, but over-all is dissapointing. I'm really sad, I was psyched for this album - and it's kind of "meh"

"Tick Tick Boom"
"Try It Again"
"You've Got It All... Wrong"
"It Won't Be Long" < Best song on the album.
"Return the Favour"
"Square One Here I Come"

are all really good/decent.

The rest seems like filler. They can do better.

The Hives are a fairly lackluster band to begin with. that you can pull that many good songs off the record should be a positive. Most bands would give their left nut for six good cuts.
