Lead singer Pelle Almqvist sounds like Captain Beefheart if he had listened to the Sex Pistols instead of Skip James as a child. Almqvist's howl aids ridiculous songs like "See Through Head" ("Oh oh oh oh oh / I spot you from a mile away") and well-written ones like "Dead Quote Olympics" ("[It] does- n't mean it's good 'cause you found it at the library / Yes they were smart, but they are dead / And your (sic) repeating all that they said"). If you can forgive the oxymoron of an expensive, studio-produced garage band, then Tyrannosaurus Hives is surprisingly enjoyable. The band is still maturing, but this is an undeniably gutsy rock record. vs maturity TER NEEDED FOR 2 yr. old and ight help around the house. ARE FOR 6 yr old. Drive to & school.Call 734-222-5957.
