i have it on good authority that the vinyl pressing is really bad and "sounds like shit"
― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Wednesday, 12 October 2011 22:45 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah I've seen a bunch of complaints about it. Apparently no sleeve either, just a piece of card. As someone above said, sounds like their might be a 3rd CD(r?) pressing, which is good news for those that spent a 3 figure sum on eBay for one of the previous 2.
All this is beginning to take away from the fact it's a great record...sorry, CDr.

Damn, I hate their/there mixups, grrrr.
This is a really fun record, thanks for the tip.

yeah, i've really been enjoying this
what's the Ghost record from last year that the OP mentions?
― merked, Thursday, 13 October 2011 20:45 (twelve years ago) link
Opus Eponymous, a really awesome record.

incredible artwork..
will give it a spin, cheers

I liked the Ghost album well enough, what I heard of it, but their live performances are where it's at, mang.
Couple videos here. My daughter loved them. "Look at those great costumes, daddy!"

so how is their "Vol 1" record compared to this?
― nostormo, Friday, 14 October 2011 00:27 (twelve years ago) link
Re. Ghost...that Ghost album did nothing whatsoever for me, whereas I love the Uncle Acid CDr. Been a lot of references from one to the other, but beware.

Huh. That link didn't post in my last up there. Let's try this again.

It's not bad but I don't see how this is any different from about 9000 other rock albums released since 9-10 years ago.

Svart will reissue the CD starting Nov 16, free shipping. http://www.svartrecords.com/shoppe/725-uncle-acid-and-the-deadbeats-blood-lust-cd.html
― Fastnbulbous, Thursday, 3 November 2011 04:51 (twelve years ago) link
billstevejim, if you can name just 10 of those 9000 albums that sound as good as this, I'll be really happy.
― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Thursday, 3 November 2011 04:59 (twelve years ago) link
^^^ Yeah, me too.
As for the reissue, that didn't take very long, did it? I wonder if those suckers who paid ungodly sums are having a bit of the ol' buyer's remorse?

Nice! Thanks for the tip - just ordered one.
― She Got the Shakes, Thursday, 3 November 2011 14:51 (twelve years ago) link
My initial reaction is the opposite (love the Ghost, kind of meh on the Uncle Acid), but I agree that liking one doesn't necessarily carry over to the other.
― o. nate, Saturday, 5 November 2011 17:57 (twelve years ago) link
didnt say it was. i just meant that non-metal fans who enjoyed the ghost as their one-off might like this album

Thanks for the tip on this. This is wonderful. And I love it in spite of the way it subconsciously makes me think I'm listening to some weird John Lennon album I've never heard before.

Noel & Liam could only dream of writing an album this good

if only the beatles had been inspired by hendrix and sabbath?

this thing is great. we've been playing it in the car non-stop
― Mordy, Tuesday, 8 November 2011 02:10 (twelve years ago) link
Xpost, cable was out forever so I couldn't respond..
well the first one that immediately comes to mind is the self-titled Witch album.. sounds like the exact same band actually.. Also in my opinion The Sword's "Age Of Winters" sounds more exciting than this.
I apologize but I wouldn't be able to name ten of these records, because the majority of them don't really stand out for me as anything noteworthy, but I feel like I've heard this Uncle Acid record 100 times.. It's possible that I need to listen to it more.
"I'm Here To Kill You" is pretty fucking great though..
― billstevejim, Wednesday, 9 November 2011 01:55 (twelve years ago) link
"Ritual Knife" too.
― billstevejim, Wednesday, 9 November 2011 01:57 (twelve years ago) link
yeah bsj otm about strong similarities with the Witch album, though that album is missing those all-too-crucial John Lennon harmonies
― stay tuned for more BLAHBLAHBLAH I'M A PEDANT (Drugs A. Money), Wednesday, 9 November 2011 14:51 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah the vocals on the Witch album were sorta the weak link I thought
― If Assholes Could Fly This Place Would Be An Airport, Wednesday, 9 November 2011 15:03 (twelve years ago) link
awesome album! one of my faves of the year.
― charlie h, Tuesday, 15 November 2011 01:48 (twelve years ago) link
Their self-released debut, Vol. 1 (2010) is nearly as great as the latest one! The haunted harmonies are already in full force, check out "Witches Garden." Apparently only 20 copies of the first run, ha ha. I imagine it will be re-released by next year, but 'til then, treat yerselves now. Linked from my site, or epicdoommetal.blogspot.com.

Do they ever play shows? Why is this band so mysterious?
Is it possible that they're another band on the same label playing under a different name?
― billstevejim, Monday, 9 January 2012 06:55 (twelve years ago) link
no

maybe that's a bit harsh, was super excited to hear it. especially after reading this thread a few months ago. just found it flacid. no juju. contrived. like, imagine this is to be a gomez side project or something.
― Crackle Box, Monday, 9 January 2012 12:04 (twelve years ago) link
gomez? i think you heard something other than uncle acid

― Jimmy Riddle Orchestra (Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker), Monday, 9 January 2012 12:37 (twelve years ago) link
they're my go-to band to describe anything lacking in balls. i probably just need to listen with a different head on. or with different people in the room.
have heard this band purson practicing recently, think rise above are putting their record out, they're sounding amazing
― Crackle Box, Monday, 9 January 2012 13:01 (twelve years ago) link
Purson's singer was in Ipso Facto if anyone remembers them
lol indie from the Midlands if that helps
― Buster Mottrhymes (DJ Mencap), Monday, 9 January 2012 13:52 (twelve years ago) link
"I'm Here To Kill You" kinda sounds like an improvement on "Take Me Away" by Ween.
found a copy of this at home. it's rubbishI didn't like it immediately, but Side B is the jam. or track 5-8
xp Yeah someone last night said something similar.. "I bet it's The Shins lmao"
― billstevejim, Monday, 9 January 2012 17:46 (twelve years ago) link
I've been getting more mileage out of this one than...maybe any of their other albums, actually
