{"product_id":"veruca-salt-eight-arms-to-hold-you","title":"Veruca Salt - Eight Arms to Hold You","description":"\u003cp\u003eHaving made their name on a lo fi Chicago indie record, Veruca Salt did the least indie thing imaginable for the follow up: they hired Bob Rock, the man who made Metallica's black album, and let him build the biggest sounding rock record of 1997.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt absolutely works. \"Volcano Girls\" opens with a riff that could fill an arena and contains a lyric explicitly explaining the seether from the first album, which is either a joke or a taunt depending on your mood. \"Shutterbug\" is faster and meaner. \"Straight\" and \"Don't Make Me Prove It\" are under two and a half minutes each and hit like punches. \"With David Bowie\" is a Louise Post song that has almost nothing to do with David Bowie and everything to do with wanting out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe tension between Nina Gordon and Post is audible across the whole record and Gordon left the band shortly afterward, which turned Eight Arms into a document of something falling apart at exactly the point it sounded most powerful. It has aged considerably better than its commercial reception suggested it would.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGeffen and UMe 180 gram black vinyl reissue, lacquers cut by Ian Sefchick and pressed at Rainbo Records.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AMS","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl","offer_id":47614851350690,"sku":null,"price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0633\/5024\/3490\/files\/3754103.jpg?v=1788378574","url":"https:\/\/staticatx.com\/es\/products\/veruca-salt-eight-arms-to-hold-you","provider":"Static ATX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
