Emil Bulls – The Life Acoustic (2006)

When a former nu metal and now kind of metal band goes acoustic things can get sideways pretty quick.

But 2006 (freakin 15 years ago 🤪) brought us The Life Acoustic from Emil Bulls and it was and still is a masterpiece. Pretty much every song is a singalone without being corny. That it was recorded live at a concert in Pullach / Germany really helps the songs to burn in. And while the acoustic songs are alltogether covers of their electrified originals (despite Green Machine, which is a cover of the famous Kyuss song) you may have a hard time guessing the song if you only hear the music. But you‘ll definitely recognize the song when the chorus starts.
