"Born To Cry" = Born to buy.......2005-05-17

Both b-sides on this single, "Born To Cry" and "Little Lil", are right on pace with The Hives' smashing third LP, Tyrannosaurus Hives. So, given that, I would highly recommend buying this if you loved the entire album. "Little Lil" (written by Mel Larson) has some excellent guitar work, while the lyrics are a bit on the straightforward side compared to some of the lyrical masterpieces on T-Hives (i.e. "Abra Cadaver", "Missing Link", "Walk Idiot Walk", etc.). There seems to be a lot of shouts of 'little lil', though they are not really off-putting. It's a good song overall, but having it as a b-side doesn't seem improper. "Born To Cry", on the other hand, is a definite hidden gem amidst all that The Hives have done, although it is a Dion (Dimucci) cover. It kind of reminds me of a fusion of "Diabolic Scheme" and Veni Vidi Vicious' notorious "Find Another Girl", as it has more of a slow hard-rock feel to it. Fitzsimmons' voice really outshines the music--the opposite of "Little Lil". Fittingly, his voice takes on a howling, crying attitude; from the fake weeping in the organ-fronted solo to the final shout of 'I was... born to cry!'

One small problem with this single is that it's over before you know it. The two-minute "Two-timing Touch And Broken Bones" is backed with equally short b-sides (approximately 2:17 for each song), which makes a total run time of just over six and a half minutes. But that's The Hives for you. The last thing featured on this single-CD is the video for "Two-timing Touch And Broken Bones", which should pop right up when you put the disc in your computer drive. As far as videos go, I guess I'd say it's probably pretty good. In conclusion, the two rarities featured here--although apparent covers--are worth checking out if you fell in love with Tyrannosaurus Hives. Even though neither b-side is in my top 10 favorite Hives songs, "Born To Cry" is a close-behind eleventh or twelfth favorite while "Little Lil" is worth it for some stellar guitar work. I recommend this.
