Tad, ‘8-Way Santa’ (1991). The amazing cover for 8-Way Santa was found art: a photograph from a thrift store of a beaming couple where a hirsute shirtless dude is copping one breast of his partner. Unfortunately, the couple wasn't amused by the unauthorized use of their picture on the album: one had become a born-again Christian.

8-Way Santa was a step forward for the band. Mainly because the song production improved. They also turned down the crudeness a tad from God's Balls. Not quite sure if that's a good or bad thing. It did make the album more marketable though. One thing that didn't change was Tad Doyle. I'm not talking about his weight mind you, I mean his lyrics. Doyle is known for his ridiculous lyrics, and the lyrics on 8-Way Santa are no exception. In fact, 8-Way Santa's best tracks are products of good guitar riffs and drum work. Much of the instrumentation on this album pushes the experimental envelope a bit. While it's nothing extreme, it definitely sets the band apart. Thorstensen's guitar work on "Jinx" and "Delinquent" are some of Tad's best. They are both heavy as hell. Jinx" changes momentum well and "Delinquent" has a catchy outro.

Redirected from Jinx (Tad song)). 8-Way Santa is the second album by the Seattle grunge band Tad. It was released on February 15, 1991 through Sub Pop. Tad ran into legal trouble after the man and woman featured on the album cover saw the record and sued the band. The cover was an altered photo, the original of which was found in a photo album purchased from a thrift store.

8-Way Santa sounded cleaner and better detailed than Tad's previous work without sacrificing the roar of the guitars, and Doyle's vocals were a serious improvement over what came before, still gruff and full of menace but better articulated and with a welcome touch of drama. 8-Way Santa was clearly and unmistakably Tad, but it also found them showing new ambition in their songwriting. The tunes managed to incorporate melody and hooks in a way that had eluded the band before; "Giant Killer" and "Candi" showed they hadn't lost touch with their thunderous past,.
