Medium fidelity approach
The recording and mix of the album is interesting: drums were recorded with just a few microphones (1-2) above or behind the drum kit and placed relatively quiet in the album mix (as The Sonics did in 1965 and 66). As as contrast, guitar, bass and vocals are heavy and hard panned to left and right (bass and drums always separated) - guitar sounds crisp and raw. Saemikneu (talk) 00:57, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
 * If you have a source for the recording techniques (e.g. "a few microphones (1-2) above or behind the drum kit") please add to the article under an appropriate heading. For my part, I think it's very interesting that "Second Time Around" degenerates (if I may use the word) into an In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida riff in the middle, and this album was released before In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida. Various questions arise. 76.253.72.116 (talk) 22:31, 3 September 2015 (UTC)Eric

Just heavy metal?
When a heavy metal band sounded like a hippie one? When a heavy metal band used fuzz pedals? When a heavy metal band sounded more like acid rock? When a heavy metal band used LSD based lyrics? When a heavy metal band used more blues based scales than classical ones?

Blue Cheer were an acid/psychedelic heavy rock band with some early punk, metal and stoner trappings, not really a heavy metal one, or you hear the Blue Cheer music the same as Judas Priest and Iron Maiden? The genres have to be changed now. --201.141.131.247 (talk) 21:30, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

I believe after many auditions is Acid rock, Proto-metal and Blues-rock. Because "heavy metal" name was created after the 70s. Yours arguments are valid and accepted.--Fran1996 (talk) 22:52, 28 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Wrong, Heavy Metal starts in the late 1960s according to Wikipedia. Black Sabbath or Led Zeppelin weren't the first, if anything those bands used psychedelic chords and music as much as this band. The allmusic source actually says blue cheer was the first heavy metal band. I don't disagree that this album has other types of music or music infused into it, but heavy metal is the main integer in this album.

also 201.141.131.247 considering this is your only edit I have a feeling you're a sockpuppet of 201.141.149.140 who is also from mexico like you, and tried to mess with the genres. --Fruitloop11 (talk) 11:23, 5 August 2015 (UTC)

Genres
I have found references to label this albums as hard rock and heavy metal, so I am adding it to the genre parameter. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kalichudali (talk • contribs) 14:59, 11 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Fine as long as the genre box doesn't get clustered/crowded, but no more than two of the genres that are sourced. I want this article to look presentable and stable. --76.107.252.227 (talk) 02:44, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

The title of the album
"Vincebus Eruptum (/vɪŋˈkeɪbəs ɪˈrʌptəm/ Latin: Blue Cheer)... " No, but funny. "Vincebus eruptum" is Dog Latin and does not mean anything. Will someone with a doctorate help me please, I need this fixed right away. 76.253.72.116 (talk) 13:01, 3 September 2015 (UTC)Eric

Not acid rock?
This album is acid rock with proto-metal/stoner sound, but essentially, this is acid rock, not heavy metal yet, heavy metal came in 70's. --201.141.249.35 (talk) 08:29, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
 * You know it's against Wikipedia Policy to edit the same article with multiple IPs. It disrupts the page. You already complained once. Also Heavy Metal started in the late 1960s.--Fruitloop11 (talk) 02:04, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

I have added psychedelic rock to the genre parameter to sum up the sub-genres, rather than making the info-box a mess by adding stoner and acid rock. --Mistymountain546 (talk) 12:45, 29 December 2015 (UTC)
