The Hives – The Hives Forever Forever The Hives (2025)

Well into their third decade as a band, The Hives are still the most fun rock’n’roll party you can find.
Still dressed entirely in black and white, still trading under absurd stage names such as Chris Dangerous and Vigilante Carlstroem, and still making high-kicking punk rock that avoids 
any hint of musical maturity despite the fact that they’re all now pushing 50, the Swedish quintet are nothing if not committed.
While most veteran bands will ‘mature’ their sound, expanding their sonic horizons in an attempt to keep themselves relevant, The Hives are charging ahead by mastering the opposite.
They’ve sacrificed none of their founding principles, nor the enthusiasm, energy, or sense of abandon that first brought them fame at the turn of the millennium.
The Hives Forever Forever The Hives finds the band sounding more like themselves than ever, if such a thing were even possible.

First, get a load of the names attached to this project: punk/hardcore legend Pelle Gunnerfeldt and Mike D of Beastie Boys handled production, the album was recorded between 
Yung Lean’s and ABBA’s Benny Andersson’s studios, and even carries some level of oversight from Josh Homme of Queens Of The Stone Age.
The press release casually dubs it a “magnum opus,” claiming “every single song (is) a single, every single single a hit” – and, for the most part, it’s right.
The opener is the punchy call-to-arms Enough Is Enough.
It demands action, and suggests that any movement is a positive step forward.
The Hives have had enough of people eating what they’re fed, walking in single file, toeing the line.
“Everyone’s a little fucking bitch,” Howlin’ Pelle Almqvist shout-sings atop adrenaline-pumped hi hats, “And I’m getting sick and tired of it.” It isn’t complicated: The Hives show up, smash out two choruses and a couple of verses, then vanish after giving it everything they’ve got.
You can’t argue with that. Play it loudly. Move your body. And maybe quit being such a little fucking bitch while you’re at it.

When the band’s cartoonishly energetic second album, 2000’s Veni Vidi Vicious, catapulted them to fame nearly a decade after their formation, their star could have burned fast and bright.
Instead, 30 years of frenzied live shows have honed them into a formidably tight machine.
That precision shines on tracks like Legalise Living and Paint A Picture: sharp, fuzz-driven guitars and punchy choruses, delivered with enough reflection to give them weight.
These are tight, rollicking slices of rock’n’roll that double as the band’s manifesto against the corporate machine.

The fact that the longest song clocks in at just 3:31 says everything about the musicology here.
It’s a frenzy to the point of near-overwhelm, hitting its peak with OCDOD, a lightning-fast 104-second burst of pure energy.
The pace is so absurdly high that even the bounce of Born A Rebel feels like a breather, with electronic blips and a tempo that doesn’t break the speed limit.
Otherwise, it’s hard to find a more exhaustingly entertaining rock album this year.
Triumphantly, the record also conjures visions of its live translation – the sweat smearing the walls, the smiles slapped on teenagers’ faces as their minds are dazed by The Hives’ awe for the first time.

Pelle Almqvist remains an endearingly confident frontman, making it impossible not to feel pure joy.
Every move the band makes feels instinctive, and that’s the beauty of it.
The Swedish quintet’s schtick (high-octane, tongue-in-cheek garage rock) has been the same for nearly 30 years.
It should be a flaw, yet it’s somehow their finest quality: they’ve changed nothing about their formula, but they still sound fresh.

On paper, there’s no reason The Hives should still matter.
Their music is knowingly disposable, borderline pastiche, built on hammering simplicity and repetition.
And yet, somehow, they pull it off with humour, imagination, and an impeccable musicianship that few can rival.
No new directions, no ballads, no personal growth – exactly as expected, The Hives remain riotously, irrepressibly fun.
