Lex Hives by The Hives

Released June 5, 2012

Produced by The Hives

Well, all in all, this is a decent album. The Hives here stuck to there regular styles and sounds which have 

obviously worked for them with their four previous releases. This album is not in the same league as The Black and White Album by them. 

It does not have a track that stands out quite as much as Tick Tick Boom, at least, not for me. I did think that it was okay, but had potential to be great. I just think that this album was really a step backwards for them, track for track it was much better. It really might not help that I don't care much for this genre, but I really, really liked the Black and White Album because it was done all around better. I do not think that this album is worth the buy unless you really like The Hives and their music. And now the track list.

Track One - Come On!

Track Two - Go Right Ahead

Track Three - 1000 Answers

Track Four - I Want More

Track Five - Wait A Minute

Track Six - Patrolling Days

Track Seven - Take Back The Toys

Track Eight - Without the Money

Track Nine - These Spectacles Reveal the Nostalgic

Track Ten - My Time Is Coming

Track Eleven - If I Had A Cent

Track Twelve - Midnight Shifter

Yes, no notable tracks.... It seems harsh but it really isn't. I only make a track notable if it is very shitty, or very awesome. Seeing as they are neither this makes all of them at least in the middle of the spectrum of music. Not too bad if you ask me.

5 self -produced albums out of 10

1-2 = I didn't like it

3-4 = It was okay

5-6 = I liked it

7-8 = I really liked it
