Your New Favourite Band

It doesn’t seem like compilation albums should be included. And I feel like if you are going to pick you best songs it should be better than this. Still I mostly enjoyed it.

The first song is the only good song.

Høyoktan garagepunk som høres ut som proto-Arctic Monkeys til tider.

Rett opp min gate, men glad plata ikke er mer enn 30 min med denne energien. Foretrekker platene som kom senere også

Rasante Garage-Rock-Explosion mit Hits wie „Hate to Say I Told You So“. Laut, wild, aber als Compilation etwas unausgewogen. Solider Einstieg, kein Meisterwerk.

Ganz gut, aber etwas zu punkig für mich. Außerdem ein Best of Album, das ist gemogelt.

Decent, but got a bit old. Compilation albums on here feel a bit like cheating too

Ok. Ik snap het. Vrij commercieel klinkende punk. Dat lijkt een contradictio in terminis. Maar toch zijn ze rond de eeuwwisseling niet de enige die hiermee komen. Spotify laat mij bijvoorbeeld wat rauwer werk van Queens of the Stone Age horen als dit plaatje voorbij is.

En dan krijg ik toch last van principes. Want niet alleen is dit gewoon een compilatie, wiki meldt ook nog even dat de compilatie er emkel is om zoveel mogelijk 'mainstream' succes te vergaren. De titel verklapt dat ook al natuurlijk. Misschien een mislukt grapje van de band, misschien echt bedoelt zoals wiki beschrijft. In beide gevallen totaal geen reden om het in deze lijst op te nemen. Komt bij dat als je met een compiltatie nog niet eens een half uur met fatsoenlijke muziek kan vullen, je echt niet door iedereen gehoord hoeft te worden.

These fellows are not, as the cool kids would say, my "new favorite band".

i love The Hives, but I hate the idea of a compilation album on this list.

I dislike that it's not a real album, but it's a good collection of songs and I liked listening to it.

I love the Hives more than is actually necessary. Punk rock the way god intended - fast, loud, snotty, ironically dumb, fun. The band can PLAY, and they hold nothing back. Another old favorite.

not an actual album... but some good songs, barely a 3 though

Very much a Swedish take on the White Stripes/Strokes-style rock of the time: maybe not quite getting it, but making up for it with immaculate production and catchy songwriting and an injection of pop-punk.
They're also amazingly fun live: they were the first band I saw at Glastonbury 2013 and they knocked my socks off.

This album is Punk in the same way that a mcdonald's Filet-O-Fish fish sandwich is seafood.
Fun, fast, short. All good traits. But if that's what you're looking for, put on The Strokes or White stripes.

Very talented band, but the vocalist got on my nerves by the end of the album with constant voice cracks and angsty delivery
Standout: The Hives Are Law, You Are Crime

So much of this 'bands that felt important in the 00's' on this here list. At least the Hives are fun as heck

12 temas y 28 minutos, no hace falta más. "Hate to say I told you so" y "Untutored youth" se quedan. Tengo que escuchar más de ellos.

I can’t believe this album is already 24 years old—I loved it growing up! The Hives always bring the punk energy, and Your New Favourite Band delivers 30 minutes of pure punk gold. That said, I’m not sure a greatest hits album really belongs on the list!

Favourite song: You can’t beat the opening two tracks, Hate to Say I Told You So and Main Offender—they’re signature Hives hits.
Least favourite: The Hives Are Law, You Are Crime didn’t really add much to the album.
Album artwork: Cool cover—brings back great memories of having this on CD and vinyl.

At the grand old age of 31 I felt I was too old for this garage rock retread even if I could see why the young uns might fall for it. If we're having compilations we'd be better off with Nuggets - way more influential and something you genuinely need to hear.

Kind of intense, like being given sketchy stimulants at a party and then later you can’t tell if you’re having acid reflux or you’re about to blow a coronary.
