{"product_id":"veruca-salt-eight-arms-to-holp","title":"EIGHT ARMS TO HO(LP)","description":"Veruca Salt: Nina Gordon, Louise Post (vocals, guitar); Steve Lack (guitar, bass); Jim Shapiro (guitar, drums, background vocals).\nRecorded at Wicked Wahine, Haiku, Maui, Hawaii between July and September 1996.\nMetallica's aptly-named producer Bob Rock is behind the board for Veruca Salt's highly-anticipated follow-up to the gold debut AMERICAN THIGHS, and the difference shows. The twin-guitar attack is thicker and heavier, the drum sound harder and more in-your-face. Overall, the band's approach on EIGHT ARMS is more focused and aggressive. Despite poppy diversions like the effervescent \"The Morning Sad\" and the almost-ballad \"Loneliness Is Worse,\" there's a grunge-derived mudslide of sound that powers this album.\nWhether the lack of dynamic\/sonic range from tune to tune is consistency or flaw probably depends on which side of the Veruca Salt fence you stand on to begin with. Singer-guitarists Nina Gordon and Louise Post show themselves to be several steps above their post-grunge peers in the songwriting department. The songs here are well-structured, highly melodic and not without humor (see \"With David Bowie\"), a commodity far too precious in the alt-rock world.","brand":"Veruca Salt","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44599756488937,"sku":"CK2C7H-RR08-00","price":28.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/veruca-salt-eight-arms-to-holp_VeN7c.jpg?v=1758825849","url":"https:\/\/www.vibinvinyl.com\/products\/veruca-salt-eight-arms-to-holp","provider":"Vibin' Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
