Barely Legal is an album released in September 1997 by a then-unknown Swedish group called The Hives, hailing from Fagersta, Sweden. The album's title was a reference to their age, as all of the five members but one (the lead guitarist, Nicholaus Arson) had very recently turned 18, the same age that one may legally appear in a pornographic film.

  • Barely Legal is an album released in September 1997 by a then-unknown Swedish group called The Hives, hailing from Fagersta, Sweden. The album's title was a reference to their age, as all of the five members but one (the lead guitarist, Nicholaus Arson) had very recently turned 18, the same age that one may legally appear in a pornographic film. The album itself is regarded by many fans as one of the two extremes of The Hives' recording careers, as it is the rawest of their LPs, as compared to the cleanest of their releases, Tyrannosaurus Hives. This may be a partial explanation of why their second LP, Veni Vidi Vicious received such grand commercial success, as it seemed to be a balance of the two. The album (and the band) is influenced by acts like The Adicts and Circle Jerks. Tracks such as "Automatic Schmuck" merit comparisons to The Misfits. The album's second track, "A.K.A. I-D-I-O-T", had a video recorded, but never commercially released until it was included as an extra on some pressings of Your New Favourite Band. The same song spawned a fan-favorite EP-single by the same name. It showed signs of the band making steps toward the sound that would define Veni Vidi Vicious, yet kept the same catchy pop buried under piles of infectiously in your face punk rock, as heard in Barely Legal. Although this album contained explicit lyrics, it never had a Parental Advisory label. (en)

  • Barely Legal on The Hivesin debyyttialbumi, joka julkaistiin vuonna 1997. Barely Legal on myös todennäköisesti yhtyeen levyistä menestynyt huonoiten. Lisäksi levy on lyhyt. Levyn toisesta kappaleesta A.K.A.I.D.I.OT.ista on tehty musiikkivideo, mutta se ei saavuttanut koskaan suurta suosiota. (fi)
