I haven't heard the last two but my opinion of the Vines was just another early 00's garage revival band with little to no originality but was good to throw on at a party or in a pub or club while having a few beers. They were a lot more aggressive than a lot of "similar" bands around at the time though. I did really like them and could still put that first album now, i actually might today.

you have to take it out of the music press context though, i know what you mean by garage rock revival because i had the free CD that came in NME; it was just a nice contrived label that sold magazines and records for a couple of years wasn't it
i'll stick to my guns and say that Vines were coming from a totally different angle - that first album was ridiculously 60s punctuated with some grunge screamers, i dont see where the Hives or the Strokes fit into the equation with them, probably because they don't!
Listening to the Strokes a helluva lot right now actually, first two albums are still f*cking amazing
