Veruca Salt - American Thighs

The title of Veruca Salt's debut album, released in 1994 will strike a chord with all ACDC fans.  And the heavy slam and hard-riffing on all tracks here will equally impress, opener Get Back comes at you with a mighty wallop.  There's a good bunch of heavy tracks on here, particularly in the opening half of the album with Spiderman '79 and the poppy Seether and Forsythia which have shades of The Breeders about them.  All Hail Me kicks massive ass, with Louise Post's heavy guitars combining well with Jim Shapiro's enormous-sounding drums.

Even middle tracks like Celebrate You and Number One Blind are well above average nineties alt-rock fodder, they'd be standouts on any other album.  It's not particularly complex or cerebral, but it rocks really hard, in comparison with many of their counterparts.  With 13 tracks here the album can drag a bit, especially towards the end of the eight minute 25, but for anyone who likes their power pop a bit heavier, this is near on perfect.
