I was pretty hyped for the album after The Hives showed that 2000s rock bands could still do it with The Hives Forever Forever The Hives...

But not only is this a complete departure from their earlier work, it doesn't even sound well-done. Autotune can be used artistically (Justin Vernon, etc) but every song sounds like default Antares settings.

Really weird choice from an artist (Julian specifically) I had a lot of respect for!
