{"product_id":"eight-arms-to-hold-you","title":"Eight Arms to Hold You","description":"Veruca Salt: Nina Gordon, Louise Post (vocals, guitar); Steve Lack (guitar, bass); Jim Shapiro (guitar, drums, background vocals).\u003cbr\u003eRecorded at Wicked Wahine, Haiku, Maui, Hawaii between July and September 1996.\u003cbr\u003eMetallica'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.\u003cbr\u003eWhether 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":"InnerSleeve","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47642425720997,"sku":"602557967456","price":33.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/6007\/1077\/files\/ac2f2925f09fcee4726ad7dd6d1175ff_9abd5182-849b-47f8-a7c1-663fe8c5e6e8.jpg?v=1777684811","url":"https:\/\/www.innersleeve.com\/products\/eight-arms-to-hold-you","provider":"InnerSleeve","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
