Tyrannosaurus Hives

Tyrannosaurus Hives is the third full-length album by The Hives, released on 20 July 2004. It is their first album since Veni Vidi Vicious from 2000, and also their first original release on a major label.

If the front cover of the album is removed from the case and lined up with the back, one can see that there is an extra pair of legs, hinting at Fitzsimmons' existence. "Diabolic Scheme" was featured in the Swedish vampire movie Frostbiten.
