Eight Arms to Hold You

Veruca Salt

High-gloss alternative rock where sugary vocal harmonies collide with massive, Bob Rock-produced guitar walls. The peak of 90s power-pop maximalism.

February 8, 1997 · Geffen Records

Find on Amazon

A high-octane blend of bubblegum sweetness and heavy-metal thunder.

Moments Worth Listening For
The self-referential lyrical nod to Seether during the bridge of Volcano Girls that bridges their two eras.
The massive, stadium-ready drum fill that kicks off Shutterbug with pure mechanical force.
The way the sugar-coated harmonies on Earthcrosser eventually dissolve into a heavy, sludge-inspired guitar outro.
