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

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?

Opus Eponymous, a really awesome record.

Amazon page.

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!"

(She is seven.)

lol

That's a sick joke, right?

so how is their "Vol 1" record compared to this?

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.

Some Hellfest footage from this year, featuring Ghost.

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

billstevejim, if you can name just 10 of those 9000 albums that sound as good as this, I'll be really happy.

^^^ 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.

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.

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

Yeah I keep thinking "damn this is like if the Beatles had 'gone there'"

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

yeah that

this thing is great. we've been playing it in the car non-stop

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..

"Ritual Knife" too.

yeah bsj otm about strong similarities with the Witch album, though that album is missing those all-too-crucial John Lennon harmonies

Yeah the vocals on the Witch album were sorta the weak link I thought

awesome album! one of my faves of the year.

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.

hopefully this will do well in the big ilm poll

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?

no

found a copy of this at home. it's rubbish

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.

gomez? i think you heard something other than uncle acid

Maybe there's another Gomez

One was enough

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

Purson's singer was in Ipso Facto if anyone remembers them

lol indie from the Midlands if that helps

"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 rubbish
I 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"

Has anyone seen them live yet? Thinking of possibly booking them...

XXXXXP: Are you sure you weren't listening to Wu Lyf? They sound like Gomez.

do you mean has anyone seen Uncle Acid live? p sure they've not played outside the studio, or they did really really early and it sucked so they wanted to get it completely right or something - there's an interview online somewhere that addresses this

I wanted to buy this with my HMV Christmas voucher, but it was £21!! WTF?

This is all I can listen to this week. I love it. It's the effects they use on the guy's voice; like if John Lennon had decided to make a whole album of She's So Heavy and recorded it in a shed in the middle of the woods.
