Wasteland

"Recorded in Los Angeles at Sunset Sound, using the same echo chamber Van Halen used in the '70s, then finished at Starrs' home studio, the album has a lo-fi, staticky sound that's even fuzzier than the AM radio buzz they got on 2015's The Night Creeper, which is really saying something. It sounds like Black Sabbath at the bottom of a deep pit with Starrs' vocals pushed into the red, the guitars clashing and grinding tinnily, the solos slashing the speakers like hot rain, and the bass and drums fighting to be heard through the murk ... Wasteland is another example of Uncle Acid's genius, and more evidence that they are the best metal band (apart from Black Sabbath) of the early '70s".
