Melvins - Electroretard 4/5
The Melvins reassert their power-sludge dominance

The Melvins are one of the haviest rock bands in the country when they want to be. Unfortunately , they've always tried to scare away commercial success by submerging their genuinely powerful momnets in a cesspoopl of snotty attitude and stupid inside jokes- like bringing in Leif Garret to sing a cover of Nirvana's "Smells like Teen Spirit." On Electroretard, the listener alienating prank cut (shitt storm) is also the only new original song on the disc. It'd probably be a great song , if it weren't recorded backwards. Fortunately , the rest of Electroretard totaly rock. Particularly astonishing are a nearly nine minute cover of the Wipers' "Youth of America" and the album's closer , a version of Pink Floyd's "Interstellar Overdrive." The Floyd cut starts almost pretty , before devolving into a morass of keyboard squeals and random drum fills. Slowly working its way back into something like "rock", it finishes nearly ten minutes later in a hail of screaming harmonics, as the sound bounces from speaker to speaker until its like being repeatedly punched in the head. Electroretard is a great record : seasoned fans and new listeners alike shouldn't let the Melvins scare them away from enjoying the pure rock power on display here.
