Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats - Blood Lust (One of the best rock albums this year)

I guess I kind of half expected they'd look full on costume-y, like the Swedish GHOST. (What are they called now again?)

GHOST B.C.

I see this thread devolving into an 'avoid' zone

"devolving into"?

We'll start a new thread for the third album when it approaches.

well played

strangely the blurb on the new record uses the phrase "devolving into"

emailed the contact on the drop acid coven website regarding whether some of the older tshirt styles were ever going to come back in stock. received a reply addressing me as "master".

no need to be modest.

What was the answer on the T shirts? I've already seen some people wearing the Garage live show T shirts in London.

Well, I had asked about a specific couple of shirts: the blood lust album cover, which isn't available in my size currently, and the Lucifer Sam shirt, which has some cats and bats and things. He said he'd reprint them next weekend. I'm going to keep an eye on the site and see whether that pans out.

another song from the new album:

The new album is really good, by the way. No real change from the first record, which is no surprise.

wow this album is shaping up to be hypnotic as fuck

Sadly,It seems blood lust was better.
The cleaner sound might be the problem.

sweeeet it's on spotify now
sounding good

It doesn't quite sparkle as much as Blood Lust, admittedly. The best songs are the trippier, more Beatles-inspired tracks on the second half whereas the rockinger first side seems more concerned with doing a rather mid-end take on stoner/doom while jettisoning the catchy licks of that earlier album.

re the recent blood lust cd issue : RED CD !!?

never seen that before.

i have a couple of black cds (trojan comp and justice), but never seen a red one.

looks ace ...

...the best songs are the trippier, more Beatles-inspired tracks on the second half whereas the rockinger first side seems more concerned with doing a rather mid-end take on stoner/doom...

^ this was my take on the 1st album, tbh. loved it, but felt that the first few songs were a warm-up, that it only really hit full stride halfway through with "i'm here to kill you".

listening to mind control for the first time, and lead track "mt. abraxas" is just about killing me. love the harmonies. would hardly call it mid-end stoner doom, though it definitely skews that way during the long trudgy bit towards the end. no problem with the cleaner sound.

"mind crawler", man huge beatles fingerprints here, heavy garage psych as much as doom. catchy as fuck. this is good.

yeah, i'm really digging this. figured it'd be a little more of a move into uncharted territory like that "down to the fire" bonus joint on blood lust, but hey they're good at what they do and there are more weird excursions into psych on here.

not quite enough catchy lead riffs for me (compare Mind Crawler to 13 Candles for example).

tbf, not much compares favorably to "13 candles"

Truth.

agree that there's less emphasis on hypnotic heaviness here. and when they do try to lean back and jusdt ride a riff (as at the end of "mt. abraxas"), it doesn't seem quite as magical. vocal melody/harmony, songwriting and psychedelic textures do most of the work. it's a trade-off i can accept, though yeah, i do miss the careening intensity of blood lust's finest moments.

then again, maybe i just need to get the hang of things. i was (stupidly) dissing the first half of blood lust a couple posts back, but that's more a leftover artifact of how the album first hit me than an expression of how i feel now. i love every song, every minute.

the drums on Evil Love are killing me.

might be the best song here. at least in this early stage.

Mind Control is more stoner/doom and (musch) less dirty garage rock:
so they lost some of their unique characteristics, and didn't replace them with new, exciting ideas.

in short, it's Blood Lust again, only with a more generic metal production and kinda weaker melodies.

it's nice enough, still.
