Guitar riffs patched in from 1955. “Yeeeeeaaahhhhs” and “What you waaaaiting foooors” wailed aplenty. Drumming so rudimentary it makes Ringo look like John Bonham. This can only mean one thing: The Hives are back. While the preppy-happy five have been preening and prancing across stages all summer, it took until now to detonate this. Obviously the band and entourage expect to see this exploding like a nuclear blast, shattering every cochlea in its mushroom cloud wake, but a lot’s happened since ‘Walk Idiot Walk’. This, in comparison to Klaxons, poofs out of the stereo. Which is fine, but no more.
