In case the AC/DC allusion in the title of American Thighs didn't clue you in, the balls-to-the-wall crunch of Eight Arms to Hold You makes it clear that Veruca Salt were always closet metal fans.

Eight Arms sounds a lot more polished and refined than their 1994 debut album, American Thighs. That album was meant to sound really thin and fuzzy as VS emerged into the grunge scene. Eight Arms, on the other hand, represents a change in their sound from grunge to alternative rock, and the difference is very apparent. Gordon and Post complement each other so well with their vocal styles, yet at the same time, they provide contrast since Gordon contributes to Veruca Salt’s “pop” sound, and Post contributes to their “rock” sound. Until 2015, this album was Veruca Salt’s last effort with both Nina Gordon and Louise Post before the band split up. 

Eight Arms to Hold You is an amazing listen and those arms do indeed wrap themselves tightly around you from beginning to end, keeping you there as you experience an essential alternative rock album.
