They
weren’t my new favourite band when I bought this record, so they got that
wrong. I seemed to have been buying a lot of contemporary stuff around 2000 and
2001 - a shame really as I could have been spending that money on older,
time-proven classic albums. Instead I seem to have lots of albums like this in
my collection. Albums where I’ve clearly bought the album because of one or two
songs - and the rest of the songs fail to live up to those promises.
This album looks like a studio album, but it’s actually a compilation of sings from the band’s first two albums. Hate To Say I Told You So is a great song - but the rest of the album’s nowhere near as catchy. That’s the thing about garage rock - energy too commonly takes the place of melody.
Hit: Hate To Say I Told You So
Hidden Gem: The Hives Are Law, You Are Crime
