Reviews
Ranked #10 on Spin's list of 2002's "Albums of the Year" - "...Five natty graduates of Sweden's Universitet for Iggy Pop...", Included in Rolling Stone's "50 Best Albums of 2002in, 8 out of 10 - "...12 blasts of retro garage punk, played so close to the mic that you'll be wiping spittle from your ears....They came, they saw, they rocked viciously.", 4 stars out of 5 - "...VICIOUS is a combination of punk's snottiness, Detroit rock's raw power and the stylized blues freak-outs of bands like Pussy Galore....Nevertheless, the white-hot sound on the album is unmistakably the Hives."
