Love the impact they give their deliveries. The "Count down to shut-... DOWN!" makes you headbang just reflexively. Also can't forget about their typical playful bait and switch at "[...] shut... Up..." The Hives have a quality to their songs where it takes me a moment to get into them - but once I'm there, they won't ever let me go.

@micke_c Жыл бұрын

I totally agree with JH here, they do this kind of rock better than everyone else nowadays. They carry the torch from early Kinks (You really got me, All day and all of the night) with such pride and joy, for us to enjoy. Best I´ve heard in a really long time!

The thing you were thinking of where the sound is muted by the glass (or outside the booth in the Tribute video) is called diegetic sound - it's sound that exists 'within the world' of the film/show/video/etc.

@alexb241 Жыл бұрын

Yes it's super interesting. Because in most musicals and music videos the music is not diegetic - which makes musicals especially kind of boring I think. So if you have something like this, it breaks with our expectation. A good example is also Blues Brothers. I will fight anyone who says that movie was a musical. Because the music is diegetic, which is a huge part of its magical realism. The music itself has consequences in the story, which makes it so much more fun to watch and meaningful.

04:39 - it's a switch from the non-diegetic to the diegetic I'd say - so first you hear the track over the action but then you hear it in context of the office in which it's set. They do the switch all the time in movies - Baby Driver does it all the way through, for example
