Description
What a gorgeous record! The beautiful white vinyl is perfect with the rest of the stunning package.
And the music just tears. Sounds so good. This is hands down the best pressing of this LP. Stunning!
***
If you like punk (and I mean REAL punk, none of this Blink-182ish garbage) than this is an album that you simply have to own. The Hives perform a very old-school style of punk. Loud, fast and raw! These guys are definetely the pride of their homeland Sweden (and that country really needs some pride after they gave us ABBA [ewwww!]).
Almost every track on this album is quality, but usually under two minutes. It's not a very long album (clocking in at around 28 minutes), but you will enjoy most of it.
A few of the stand-outs on this album would (of course) be the first single, "Hate to say I told you so". The cathcy rhyme of the verse and the rapid fire outro definetly portray singer Pelle Almqvist talent as a singer (even if he does tend to squeak more than a mouse being beaten by a squirrel).
Another would be the fourth track, "Main Offender". Hopefullly this will be thier next single. Like "Hate to say I told you so", "Main offender" is just a bit slower than the rest of the album, but considering the rest of the tracks, that isn't very slow at all! The guitar work is very fluid with the vocals, and Pelle Almqvist vocal talent still shines, but also STILL squeaks more than a chipmunk ging thru puberty!
Other stand-outs include the VERY slightly industrial feel of "Supply and Demand". The lightning fast "Metric System in Time", and the very mosh-worthy "Die, Alright". But thier is one big flaw in Veni Vidi Vicious. It's a song called "Find Another Girl". What were there guys smoking when they wrotte this song. It's a doo-wop, cornball song about falling in love and getting your heart broken. It sounds like a Buddy Holly track played on Telecasters. This album would be perfect if not for this single...basket of a track. Veni Vidi Vicious does have flaws (*cough* findanothergirl *cough*), but what album doesn't.
I would recommend this album to anyone. Go buy this album, I ASSURE you, you won't regret it!
