From Veni Vidi Vicious and Tyrannosaurus Hives to this thrilling piece of modern garage rock, Sweden’s worst kept secret has been delivering the best adrenaline rush around. Here, singer Howlin’ Pelle Almqvist and his nattily attired cohorts team up with The Neptunes’ Pharrell Williams, taking wacky new turns and shifting time signatures on cuts like “Well All Right!” and the funky “T.H.E.H.I.V.E.S.” It’s a wild roller-coaster ride, full of surprises.
