Just got this asd an ad on the front page of my MySpace site:

The Hives
A bolder, leaner Hives surfaces on their third album The Black and White Album, utilizing unexpected new wave, while keeping an ear to classic power pop punk stylings. Listen now before it hits stores 11/13, exclusively on MySpace!

Picked up the single back in september(Tick Tick Boom)sounded like standard Hives to me, maybe the rest of the cd has a new wave feel.
I don't understand why they're touring with Maroon 5,and playing the occasional headline show, seems like an odd billing to me.
Saw them on their last tour, excellent live act!

Picked up the new cd. The Hives definitely expand their sound. There's everything from power pop,new wavey keyboards ,funk , motown and of course typical Hives garage punk. Just a fun cd to listen to.
