Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
Lords of Acid's 1997 release, Our Little Secret is an open book. Never daring to depart from lyrics that read like the stage directions of a porno flick, fans need only focus their attention on Lords of Acid's musical agenda. The songs still maintain the basic acid house recipe of fat, buzzy bass lines and disorienting rhythms. This album adds a little of all current dance music trends, from trip hop to drum & bass to keep the formula current. "LSD=Truth" rattles with amped organic drum sounds reminiscent of Meat Beat Manifesto. The first couple of tracks are drilled with speed metal guitars. Stylistically, this album is merely a tangent to Lords of Acid's debut album Lust. If this is your first Lords of Acid purchase, go with Lust--it's a better album. If you are collecting, the lyrical shock value will have worn thin on you by now, but the music is twisted enough to keep you engaged. --Beth Bessmer

5.0 out of 5 stars Misunderstood and Underappreciated, the Lords Battle On, September 14, 1998

By A Customer

The Lords of Acid are easily one of the most misunderstood, underappreciated and reviled bands of the 90's. Their three full-length albums- Lust, Voodoo-U and Our Little Secret have often been met with disgust, repulsion and occasionally hate. Some record stores even refused to stock Voodoo-U on account of the graphic cover images of female devils licking and squeezing at their private parts. Yes, they're a different kind of band. And yes, some people don't like them very much. But hey, a lot of people didn't like Robert Mapplethorpe's photography, Larry Flynt's Hustler magazine and any of John Waters' films. Like those controversial pioneers before them, the Lords of Acid are on a mission. This has never been clearer than on Our Little Secret, the latest release from the foul-mouthed Lords. It should first be noted that the lead singer is not some macho-man with a rough voice who shouts pornographic lyrics into a distorted microphone, but is instead the unassuming, mischieviously charming Jade 4 U (who's hard-to-find import-solo album is actually available on this site). Don't let the blond hair fool you- this woman can SING. Case in point are tracks like the painfully sad "Man's Best Friend", about a young, unattractive prostitute's deepening depression regarding her life's direction; and on "Deep Sexy Space" in which Jade rivals Tina Turner's "Proud Mary" in terms of intensity, power and talent. Other tracks on Our Little Secret well deserving of attention are "Me and Myself", in which Jade realizes that she is in fact her best sexual partner; "Rubber Doll" with its miami-bass style rhythm and humorous lyrical content; and "You Belong to Me" which features an incredibly hilarious mock-phone call from Jade filled with enough profanity to make a drunken sailor blush. Our Little Secret is defnitely on of 1997 most overlooked albums and a true gem. The Lords of Acid have always been an exceptionally intellectual band, the only difference is that they choose not to flaunt they're smarts with pretentious lyrics, trendy design or in any way that normally defines what is culturally intelligent. They're not Madonna, but they're a whole lot grittier. They're not Hole , but they're a whole lot tougher. They're not Tori Amos, but they're equally adept. It's a style exclusive unto the Lords and it's not for everyone, but it's definitely for me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sexy and Wicked, July 23, 2004

By	Closet Monster - See all my reviews

LOA are just plain amazing. Other musical acts have tried to imitate their sound but have failed miserably. I purchased "Our Little Secret" when it first came out but have rediscovered it recently and I'm still thrilled by it to this day. This album touches upon all sounds of music from hard house, rock, happy-hardcore, industrial... but the LOA way.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good stuff, but not their best, January 2, 2002

By	Stephen Byrnes (Honolulu, HI United States) - See all my reviews

A little slower tempo on this CD. Still, some excellent tracks. My faves: Lover, Rubber Doll, Pussy (hilarious), and Outer Space ("Close Encounters" never sounded like this).

If this is your first LOA purchase, go with LUST or VOODOO-U first.
