"Oh Lord! When? How?" is an EP album by the iconic Swedish rock band, The Hives. The album was released in 1996, showcasing the band's exceptional skill in the garage rock genre. This release came just one year after their debut album, "Barely Legal," highlighting their early productivity as a band.
The album features four tracks – "You Think You're So Darn Special", "Cellblock", "Some People Know All Too Well How Bad Liquorice, Or Any Candy For That Matter, Can Taste When Having Laid Out In The Sun Too Long - And I Think I Just Ate Too Much," and "How Will I Cope With That?" The titles themselves mirror the band's unique character and offbeat humor.
The album reflects The Hives' formative sound, which would later evolve and mature in their successive works. The late 90s were full of energy and experimentation in the music scene, and "Oh Lord! When? How?" precisely encapsulates such a period in The Hives' musical journey. With their sharp garage rock sound and audacious lyrics, this EP album solidified The Hives' mark in the rock music genre.
