It seems to me that Blue Cheer started out extremely heavy on Vincebus Eruptum, but they gradually toned down their style on later albums. But when they came back in the 1980s they played up the heaviness again. Which I'm glad they did because heaviness is their forte.
Any comments?

You might attribute that to the band including Ralph Burns Kellogg on keyboards. Or you might attribute that pressure from the record company to pursue a "Bonnie and Delaney" type music. It may be hard to believe, but it was the folk music that was being promoted at the time. Music like Blue Cheer, Black Sabbbath, Amon Duul were treated as "underground" music. You might attribute it to Dickie's changing taste in music. He does play all styles and does so rather well. But it was the music of Vincebus Eruptum that made the band stand out. So that was the type of music chosen to advance in the 21st century.
