Freaky Friday?
W. Like T. Beese (look in the one-star reviews), I thought this sounded like a high school band. In fact, it sounded like the band Lindsay Lohan formed in the remake of "Freaky Friday. " The songs on this album have good beats and somewhat catchy rock sounds, but they are simplistic and get boring after a minute or so. .


Jeff Bateman licks salted nuts
Bateman is pure bollocks! Listen and judge for yourself because he is a true idiot. The review by Amazon's own Mr.


Defiant
I think people were telling these two women for too long that they couldn't do this and couldn't do that, and they took it upon themselves to tear those arguments down lyric by lyric and chord by chord. Okay, sure, I've got my own little narrative going with respect to this album.

Think Hole, or The Breeders, obviously, but I hold "Eight Arms To Hold You" in higher regard. Sleater-Kinney's "Dig Me Out" may be better yet -- but only just, and this album is surely the more accessible and the more meticulously assembled of the two.

This one stands the test of time. I understand why it has been written off by some reviewers, but if you enjoy humor and harmony and angst and big loud guitars, you might want to give it a try.


Exceptional
Even better than the first record that was also quite good but simply better than the EP "blow it out". This was a great record. This is really exciting pop-punk with beautiful female harmonies.


One hit wonder worth one star
At it's best this is a mediocre album. C'mon! I was struck with terror when I saw all the good reviews on this one. My copy of the album hasn't seen daylight, nor laserlight for a good ten years, but since I'm in the process of burning my CD's to my Itunes catalogue I gave "Eight Arms To Hold You" another chance. After having heard the entire CD again - almost ten years after, my conclusion is the same as when I bought back in 1997!! One star for the catchy power rock hit "Volcano Girls" with a nice touch of the Bob Rock sound and production. Why Veruca Salt sounds like a high school band on the rest of the album is beyond me.
