QuoteIf the rest of the tracks are on par with the single then it's probably going to be my favourite Melvins record since (A)SA or POTRE!

Did you like BMR? That one was pretty straightforward, no-nonsense, right?

I liked and still like it but that's about as far as i'd go. I don't consider it a classic from the band. Probably a step down from their better releases. The first two tracks are cool but the last 4 not so much in my opinion. I'd give it a solid 8/10.

File that one under kooky Melvins tracks! Sounds a bit tossed off and throwaway to me. Hmm, my expectations suddenly lower again!

Yes!!!! I thought it reminded me of some other Melvins track that i couldn't pin point and i think you hit the nail on the head there.

I'm not saying this is a bad song but i do really wish the band would stop doing these quirky, almost novelty tracks. I guess they worked hard on it but crucially it never FEELS that way. It feels completely thrown out and as i said tossed off. Like they say "okay that's done... next one!!". There doesn't really seem much substance there and that's important i think. I've been listening to the new Pallbearer track and recently Opeth and okay probably not many here are fans of either of those acts but at least the songs feel classy, have substance and make you feel something. It's a real night and day experience when compared with Melvins.

i can see your point there...been listening to this track now, i guess it's not bad, problem is the song structure is the same from start to finish...they could have done something a bit more unpredictable, a change maybe..a different riff. btw, i can hear a bit of a Cows influence here and there

that latest track is Gary Chester doing his thing at it's finest.  I swear Buzz must have directed him to make Ed Hall noises.   :banana:


I get this feeling like Buzz is at that point where he's paying hommage.   first with the PAT album featuring Paul and Pinkus and now this.
and I for one am completely onboard considering my festering obsession with Texas 90's drug rock.

Btw, listening to these new songs you can tell drums recording is from a different session than the rest...

I think it's funny how if you go to the YouTube listing and look at the comments, everybody fucking loves it, like it's the best song the Melvins have ever recorded. Contrast that to the 10 Melvin's super fans (us) and it's a bit... lukewarm.

I'm hoping this song grows on me. I usually only listen to these pre-release songs once or twice before the album comes out. You don't wanna get tired of a song before the record even drops, right?
