PopMattersTyrannosaurus Hives lacks its predecessor's cohesive vision, but it finds the band in excellent form, exploring universes beyond their own. One of the year's best. ...more
All Music GuideTyrannosaurus Hives might be a little more complex and polished than the Hives' earlier work, but it's not overthought at all; even though they've evolved, they know how to keep it simple, stupid. ...more

The Austin Chronicle
Little Steven Van Zandt probably peed himself when he first heardTyrannosaurus Hives. The syndicated Mafioso of all things dank and subterranean would surely kill for the Fagersta Five, now certain to reign his garage airwaves like the king reptile...read the complete review at The Austin Chronicle

The Hives are a contrived band and as such, they do classic manufactured pop gimmicks such as wearing a band uniform (in the case of the album cover; black shirt and trousers, white tie and jacket and er, spatz). LikeThe Monkees, they have songs in which...read the complete review at musicOMH.com
