Have you guys been reading Coady's posts on twitter?
"Recording some new Melvins jams today with @toshikasai."
"All wired for recording! One song down today for drums."

split singles tracks is my guess.
the amrep splits are the tracks off Sugar Daddy though, Glen.
Maybe a new album? It's been almost 2 years if they are keeping the pace of the last 6 years
Nice and a cool snap there too! I think it's for a new album if i remember correctly.

hey, I'd be thrilled to be wrong.
but the way that
twit tweet reads it's just a couple and/or few tracks. not a whole new album.
either way, I'll take whatever I can get.

Melvins are done with albums last I heard.
Shit. Wait a minute. TBSM is two years old already? :microwave:
Well a year and a half
i think i remember reading that they plan to record at year end and Jan/Feb.
the way i understand it: 13 splits will be the 13 sugar daddy tracks.
the new stuff will likely be used for an upcoming album (scion ep / or ipecac lp, ideally both).. i think buzz said they are going to do another full album in 2012?
does anybody know if they signed a multi album contract with ipecac, and by when it is fulfilled? did they sign a contract at all?? i think once they fulfilled that they will no longer release conventional albums.
Quote from: landshark on December 14, 2011, 09:48:28 AM
conventional albums?
with that i did not mean the albums themselves but rather way they released; like every two years an album worth of 10 songs or whatever.
maybe they will do more frequent but smaller recording sessions and self release that as singles / eps with the help of amrep or alone.

I fear they may over-saturate the MELVINS SINGLES market if they take the idea too much further. everything has a tipping point.
that being said, I'll still likely buy whatever the hell they offer me.

I'm pretty sure I read that they would be doing one more album and then releasing everything non-traditionally, whatever that means. I'm a huge fan of getting hyped up for full albums and then getting blown away. Smash the State just didn't have that same effect because it was so far under the radar but I did love that one.
I'm also pretty sure I read that Ipecac doesn't make bands sign contracts and you can record as much as you want with them.
that picture was taken in their practice room. They record in there now instead of a studio?
Sure, most anyone would rather have the set, but they're still taking care of those who just need or want the music.

I spent 10, because my shit got lost due to me being a greedy bastard! I was trying to download when everyone else was trying to get it....and got redirected. Still, well worth it. I got the RIH box, too, but I want to keep it as nice as possible. Not framing it or anything, I'd just like to limit the plays. Lint magnets, gah.
another recording by toshi. yaaaaaayyyyyy :(
I know! I'm definitely playing them!
been ready again yet
thanks a lot

Buzz is looking a little more svelt these days. down to his fighting weight.
this post will have validity, I promise.

Funny. Crackle Barrel is where I found that Sugar Daddy candy that I gave to Sniv. Stopped there in Ohio (bleeech) on the way home from Swans. I didn't even think they existed til I saw one at the shop!
I also noticed he's lost a lot of weight. I think it's cool, just so long as he leaves room for the evil.

Yep. That looks like a left-handed drummer getting ready for a right-handed pull shot, with Buzz delivering a full toss. That will confuse 95% of the people here.

I believe it was the Hollywood "Cleanse" diet. the one where you drink 4 gallons of water a day and then take a triple laxative at bed time.
hey, it works.
I think it's just the lighting.
OK, so back to the topic... Buzzo really said that the Melvins will only release one more full length album? I remember hearing about the mini-album thing on Scion Records, and that it would be mp3-only or something.
everything was a "maybe". so I wouldn't be betting the farm on anything. but if I were to guess I would say one more traditional recorded and released to be sold at your local record store album. from there it's mp3's, etc.
but I remember when Dale had his first child and they were saying things like "alot less touring" and "shorter tours" becuase he would want to be closer to his family. fortunately for all of us the bill collector didn't like that idea. the real money to be made is on touring and merch stands. so dale's family suffers and we are rewarded. point is: don't buy into every statement or idea. they don't always work out.

geez, you'd think I'd be a nice guy and leave her alone when she isn't even here to defend herself. but no, I gotta be a dick!
jealousy is a one eyed monster.
I'm sure they could release regular albums via iTunes and Google Music, Amazon store etc... surely would be better financially as you'd skip out on manufacturing costs and record labels/
Hopefully it's not the case though as I'd pirate the shit out of that since all on-line music stores are US only and I will not deal with iTunes as the greedy bastards are charging double the US prices even though the AUD is stronger than the USD.

argh, MP3 is anything but a high quality format, the whole idea of selling such a shitty thing instead of a flac/wav file or a CD/vinyl is so mediocre... but what's even more mediocre is the fact that the people does buy it... but hey, in a world ruled by Justin Beiber and wachiturros, what more can you expect? they can hardly tell the difference between a fucking 128kbps MP3 and a high quality CD.
Save the mediocre waste for the chewers and suckers of the soil, for we are of a different breed, a musical race of atomic supermen with ears that have tuned into an acquired taste for that which is most high, the music of the gods. We are MELVINS fans! [-o<
Amen!
i just don't want to have to go on a wild goose chase to try and trace down new albums from the Melvins, but if they still take the time and money to record "official" studio albums, i'm guessing it won't solely be just super-limited quantity, $200 releases. that's all.

I liked it when Porn covered their own song a couple of times. Valium and Nod Mix. Maybe a Come Together Valium mix.
John Stainer is an amazing drummer and Battles last Album is there best work.

maggot and bootlicker are under 45, so is senile, and lysol and bullhead
In the UK, anything over 25 minutes or more than four tracks is classified as an LP.
Quality over quantity

Excellent, I am going to Build a theramin one of these days..A REAL TUBE theramin like The original design by LEO theramin...a Russian inventor back in the early 1920's..you can buy a MOOG theramin like this one for under 400 bucks.
There are a wide variety of theramins available in production currently, but nothing that sounds good to me, compared to the original 1920's Theramins.
Theramin also Used the principal Theory of his invention to create automatic Doors, and an electronic Burglar alarm, Basically a theramin works like a vintage metal detector.
Professor theramin was Kidnapped back from the US, back to Moscow by Soviet agents, and I think His wife Clara did a great deal playing Theramin in an orchestra, pretty cool.
I didn't realize the melvins used a theramin, probably because they filtered the sound to make it sound more like a synth, Like the end of the Song on NWB, RIGHT before Dies Iraea you can hear it with the Drum fade out I THINK.

hey,did you notice Buzzo is using more pedals than during live shows?i can't imagine Buzz using a wah pedal,so weird :?
Maybe it's not his wah pedal. I also see a Dunlop Octavio at the left of the wah. Does Toshi play guitar?

EPs are tough to define but it's definitely not anything that's under 45min. If that was true then all pre-Never Say Die Black Sabbath albums would be considered EPs.
EPs are typically under 30min and/or contain less than 8 songs. It gets confusing so it's probably best not to think about it too much and just call it what the band calls it.
Primus - ASNTTALP - 6 songs - 28:18 - EP
Melvins - Lysol - 5/6 songs - 31:21 - I've seen it classified as a LP and EP but usually a LP
Slayer - Reign in Blood - 10 songs - 28:56 - LP
Heroine Sheiks - Journey to the End of the Knife - 8 songs - 27:32 - LP
Nine Inch Nails - Broken - 8 songs - 33:09 - EP
Earth - Extra-Capsular Extraction - 3 songs - 32:21 - EP
Earth - Earth 2 - 3 songs - 73:00 - LP
Sunn O))) - Flight of the Behemoth - 5 songs - 51:27 - LP
Sunn O))) - Oracle - 3 songs - 80:55 - EP
:microwave:
Well over 30 minutes.

Quote from: anaconda on January 22, 2012, 05:26:41 PM
you have too much time on your hands, clearly.
I was waiting on a phone call and looked up those albums on wikipedia in about 10min. Is that too much time?
Egregiously so!
where we can get the EP?is it a download thing only?
I will have you KNOW, once and for ALL, A traditional EP...should be around 12-24 minutes!
back in the good old days of yore, an EP would be useful if your band couldn't afford a whole album, you'd try to Squeeze as much material you could down on to a 7" or 10" record. The maximum amount of music you can fit on the A and B sides of a Record size..times have changed since that was commonplace, and things have obviously always bounced around between various media.
Most bands who would write more than 45 minutes needed a double album, let's say an hour's worth, that was at one point Deemed the LP (long play) because up till a cetrain time, record speeds dropped from 78 Rpm, down to 33 and a half RPM, and a 12" used to only play about 10 minutes a side @78RMP (you might get 12 minutes I don't know)
they still remained in 12" size but now could play Longer...hence Long play.
thanks to Cd's we see a lot less Double albums than we used to that is for sure!
HAHAHAHA, testify!!
so to clarify, I guess anything under half an hour is still an EP, Technically.

yeah, they just thought that it would be cool to have the EP Title on their release.
It doesn't really matter now, there is one size compact disc everything fits on.
depends if It was put out on 12" or a 10" or a 7" vinyl.

:lol:
Im hoping for 2. One song like 'Pigs Of The Roman Empire' and the other like 'The Anti-Vermin Seed'. :)
I'm hoping for one. 31 minutes between both sides. Buzz moaning into a tube, Coady manipulating his pheromone (or whatever it's called), Jared banging away on a heavily flanged bass and Dale's daughter on drums.
Brilliant

:lol:
Eggnog is only 20 minutes long, and that's considered an EP. I know this because I measure distances in Melvins....and the drive from my house to my studio is one Eggnog long-give or take 30 seconds of feedback---
yeah, and origianlly came out as a 10" vinyl.
Interstellar overdrive is another 10" Ep.
didn't mars volta have an hour long ep?

Im gonna guess it'll be early summer. I think that tends to be the pattern. Record once every two years over winter and release the album around June whilst we get to hear bits and bobs around May.
As to the EP discussion, certainly there isn't going to be a single answer, because the phrase really has no universal definition. But, I agree the debate is fun. (Although, I believe billboard has a very strict definition of what an ep is)
I'd say an EP is determined by the artists' intent when putting it out. If the artist feels that its designed to either be smaller statement, or statement where each song should be lingered over, it is an ep. Where the artist feels that the collection of songs fit together to tell a longer sonic narrative, its an lp.
Remember, Lard's first release was a 65 minute ep, but the circle jerks have a 14 minute album. And to em, the Lard release sounds like an ep and the Circle jerks release sounds like a full album.
Also, it seems I am in the minority, but I loved The Bride Screamed Murder.
Are most melvins fans anti this record, or are the ones that are just the most vocal?

I don't know, but it's probably in my top 5 favorite Melvins records, and it's definetly my favorite record with Cody and Jarred.
To me BRIDE has some highlights and some lowerlights.
that doesn't mean it wasn't good.. but when you're comparing it to... 95% of the rest of their catalog which is BLINDINGlights it has a tougher time shining through.
Bride screamed Murder is the best soundtrack to Every War movie I've ever imagined. the music itself is like a firsthand glance into Being recruided into service. This is the kind of stuff I have always seen them doing better than anyone else could ever do it. I've always wanted to hear this album before It even came out.
You guys don't even know, This is by far one Deep album.
It's fantastic.
The emotional Energy of it is by far maximum intensity.
I definitely see a 'war' theme. from the military chant at the beginning
thru to the titles of some songs; Evil New War God, I'll Finish You Off
(killing the enemy?), Hospital Up (triage hospital?), Inhumanity & Death
(the atrocity of war?), the cover of My Generation (generations lost to war?),
PG x3 (seeking the peace of home after a campaign? but the memories
still piercing the soldier's mind with post-tramautic stress???)
tbsm owns without insisting on its ownership. its like, oh, i own, how about that?
nah, it gets more boring as the world passes. i don't want something earthshatteringly different, just something that blows up my car stereo. senile is the only one with the current lineup that i really care for.

I agree with Glen. As I've said before, It's kind of like Black Flag's in my head. Its not the best flag album but its still better than most albums other people make.
Conda: I thought there was a war theme in ASA. Parts of civilized worm and a history of bad men remind me of war. I can see it in TBSM too though.

I take it back. I thought it over and doomed would be a better song title than album title. I like beer hippy in the same way. I still like the birthing queen for a song title and theirs is not yours for an album title.

SCION A/V SET TO RELEASE NEW MELVINS EP, SCION A/V PRESENTS: THE BULLS & THE BEES, ON MAR. 13
Scion A/V Sponsoring Spring U.S. Tour
Feb. 23, Torrance, Calif. -- Scion A/V has partnered with the Melvins for an EP titled Scion A/V Presents: The Bulls & The Bees, a five-song collection that marks the band's first original material since their 2010 album The Bride Screamed Murder. The release will be available as a free download on Mar. 13 via Scion A/V's Facebook page (www.facebook.com/scionav (http://www.facebook.com/scionav)) with "The War On Wisdom" streaming this Friday on Pitchfork.com.
The Melvins formed in 1983, kicking off what would be a seismic shift in heavy music and focusing the epicenter of modern music firmly on the Pacific Northwest for the next decade plus. The band blended punk, metal, hard rock to create a new subgenre that has been tagged with a variety of labels including sludge, grunge and doom and won a cult of fans that have yet to waiver some twenty-nine years into the band's career. Buzz Osborne and Dale Crover have been the band's constants (Crover joined in 1984) with Big Business' Jared Warren and Coady Willis joining the band in 2006 for (A) Senile Animal.
"The Melvins have remained such a consistent presence in heavy music," says Jeri Yoshizu, manager of sales promotions for Scion. "It's an honor to have them create an original release for Scion A/V."
Osborne described Scion A/V Presents: The Bulls & The Bees as "amazing in its noisy calm intensity."
Scion A/V Presents: The Bulls & The Bees Track Listing:
1. The War on Wisdom
2. We Are Doomed
3. Friends Before Larry
4. A Really Long Wait
5. National Hamster

I'd be really surprised if this helped shift one single more car for Scion. Don't get me wrong tho it is very cool of them helping out bands in this way and supporting the arts.
Wonder if they use the money which would normally be allocated for tv/magazine ads etc into these ventures instead. If so it's a very clever ploy and makes a lot of sense whether it helps sales or not.

It's possible that they're using money that would normally be allocated for tax! Maybe there's a tax incentive to support the arts and charities, I mean.

We'll travel together, not speaking but staring blankly into space until we're there, then on the way back, not speaking but staring blankly into space as we try to fathom out if what we just witnessed was, in fact, real.

I like the cover... it doesn't look like mackies style for once.
looks like kevin willis/head for the shallow art.
Scion also said that there will be a limited run on cd copies that they will be giving away for free at scion events and at all shows on the melvins tour, also that the band might decide to do a record version on their own later down the road!!! Amrep i'm looking in your direction

So do you have to be a member of facebook to download it? Because I'm not and I don't particularly want to join.
Edit: N/M, looks like you can also download it from scionav.com. Hope they have some cd's when I see them in May!
maybe the idea of their a/v branch is that scion is an awesome corporation and they thought producing melvins albums is a way to evidence awesomeness in an industry known for conniving marketing.
having "scion av presents" in the title is genius. i am googling scion right now.
can i get somebody to grab me a physical copy at one of the tour stops? pretty please?
also i was just thinking about how the ultimate car sound system in the future will include a large hard drive. scions coming with great music could be a selling point that would be difficult for other car companies to match.

I love that Scion has done this for two of my favorite bands - Melvins and Magrudergrind - but you will never, ever catch me driving an ugly piece of shit car like this.

this one gets 37 mpg, and it costs 15k US. if there were a 2 terabyte hard drive in there, i'd seriously consider getting one.
I can't believe for one second that Scion thinks that releasing albums by obscure bands will somehow boost sales. Perhaps I'm naive but I just don't see it.
It may be integrated into a broader marketing plan that aims to promote Scion as a socially conscious corporation that recognizes the importance of art and culture but what does that have to do with selling cars?
Either way, I don't have a driver's licence so I don't see myself driving one of those any time soon. I live in the city, I don't need no fucking car.

i didnt know scion cars existed until now. i think they are an interesting car company, partly because they are producing albums by bands i like. also, here we are talking about them in a public forum. that's 3 ways this a/v thing is working for them.

I was thinking this too but then again there's a reason I'm not in marketing.
I guess the first question to ask is how much are they spending for this project? It might actually be relatively cheap for them to pay for studio time and give the Melvins some money as apposed to paying for a few billboards. Plus their name will be on an official Melvins release forever.
But I'm also thinking that people who like the Melvins will most likely want a car that can haul gear around. The "box" design seems like the only model that could fit a half stack in it and it's probably their least appealing car. I have to admit though, if space wasn't an issue I think the tC, FR-S, and
maybe the iQ are pretty nice looking cars for the price. http://www.scion.com/cars/ (http://www.scion.com/cars/)
I think this is an experiment in advertising more than anything. Who knows how it'll work out for Scion in the end. At least they aren't embarassing themselves like Burger King by creating their own band. :lol:

I am so happy you read that, comrade.
So all of a sudden it's announced that we're going to be hearing a new Melvins song... TOMORROW! Totally cool. I love the title "The Bulls & The Bees", and I love "National Hamster" :lol:
National Hamster: A Marathon Listen
I think Melvins have been checking out the bbs anagram threads, and everything scheduled to be released this year will be written in code.
I predict it's going to be the best year ever to be a Melvins fan. We got this, FREAK PUKE, and a possible documentary via the Lite Tour [-o<
Their worthiness is well overdue, and 2012 is their time!!!!
Agreed!

They gave Chicken Switch a higher score than any other album of The Melvins they've reviewed. :lol:
now that's good news to start the day with!
On the
album sorry EP title i think The Bulls & The Bees could be SEEN to be a comment upon Scion (or the music industry or indeed listeners) itself. Instead of the familar term "the birds and the bees" it is changed to Bulls. Much tougher, larger animals capable of doing much more damage. Is the bull the band, the label or those who listen to the music? The fans perhaps? I hope this doesn't signify that the album is bull****! 8-[

I knew they make cars but only fairly recently discovered so. For the longest time i thought they were just a music festival like Roadburn or ATP since they have the annual Scion Rock Fest. Great line ups too.

My post wasn't meant like that at all, more the other way around. What is Pitchfork doing promoting a band they consistently trash? Especially when they could be promoting such wonderful acts as Arcade Fire, Weezer and Bon Iver. :-&

Promotions are promotions though.

It is layered similar to let's say foaming where it feels like a few song in one. The harmonies are great. This is great and cant wait to hear the rest. This is pretty exciting!
BTW, I'll be going to the Hollywood show. I'll try to get some extra copies of b&b. Message me if you won't be able to see em I'll try to get you one. First come first serve as far as who messages me. I guess it depends on how stingey they are with them but I'll do what I can.

It's GOOOOD!!
Awesome! It's such a great song! New MELVINS! :D :D :D :D

mmmm good, very good 8)

Probably 'Electric Flower' for me, but 'I'll Finish...' would be a close #2 for sure.
Does anyone know if the stream is the final mix? It sounds a little...lo-fi/Albini produced.

do you think it sounds just kinda weak? like they are just trying to re-imagine ASA, but not really improve it? this is also what happens when you write so many songs you feel compelled to go back in the closet and dig out some riffs. then instead of conveying your realtime emotions within the entire song, you get flashbacks, causing it to just sound the same. i've learned not to go back as much, and try to write in the moment. that was wayyy to introspective. alas, this well may go dry pretty soon. time to kick out the bassist.
Just listened to it a few times-not really sure what to think of it yet
Song is defintely in drop D tuning. It'll be interesting to hear what tuning the other songs are in
- I really like the vocal harmonies. The song's pretty cool and starting to make more sense on repeated listens, although the song kinda has two parts and it's going to take some more listens for me to "understand" and make sense how it all flows together, cause so far I don't completely "get it"-but that's okay because that's almost always how it is for me when I first hear new melvins, or most new stuff from bands I really like.

to be honest i just don't like the big melvins sound. the tone of the guitar and i hate to say it, the drumming too, just doesn't do it for me.
many of the songs, including this one conjure up images of college boys getting drunk with heaps of "fuck yeahs" and high fives going around. it has that annoying all american sound, i don't know how to explain it, just how it sounds to me. don't like it, lacks depth, lacks soul.
probably the only one or one of few that feels this way here, but that's my opinion. not trying to upset anyone or get into a debate.
i'd be happy if they went into the closet as you say and dug out the riffs from bullhead, or hat.
hoping that melvins lite will capture a different style than big melvins.

I'm not really sure why you think it lacks depth. There's lots of subtle things going on and the track is nearly impossible to digest completely after one listen. Plus I love the whole "I must of missed my calling" then it immediately snaps into a quick heavy riff. I love the light distortion on Buzz's voice too.
Sure, it may sound accessible to those of us who listen to Hung Bunny without thinking it's weird, but play it for anyone who thinks Jet is a pretty good band and they'll probably say, "What the hell is this shit? The drums don't match the song!"

I completely agree with all of this. 8)
Love It.
I like the production, the way it sounds....
the guitar tone/sound really reminds me of adam jones, just kinda sounds like buzz is playing thru adams gear
I agree that it does sound like a leftover. I still like it though.
I was hoping for something totaly different as well. Especially becouse this is a different format, I thought it actually might happen that they would go in a total new or more open sounded direction with the Biz lineup, or a second Eggnog. I'm not saying i'm not liking this song, I think it's great, the first few chords even remind me of ''Civilized Worm'' somehow, what is one of my fav tunes with the guys of Big Biz so far. Still exited about the other songs, and of course about Freak Puke.

:lol:
Sounds like something from BSM. As I don't like that album too much, I'm also not too fond of this song. I hope the other songs will be a bit sludgier, but based on this song I think they won't be.
I'm starting to really like it!
Don't over think this. It's the melvins. Though this current line up is not my favorite, the melvins, no matter what line up, is still a million times better than any other crappy new music out there. In fact, I'd buy a double album full of Theresa screams or pure digital silence-type songs before the thought would even enter my mind to purchase any other fake indie crap or over produced over hyped pop album.
The song may not be perfect in your mind because its not what you expect. When have the boys ever cared about what anyone has thought? And they certainly don't care about what any of us think they should sound like. So...don't over think it and just enjoy some new tunes from the best band to ever exist.
(Stepping off of my soap box).
uh, Is there new melvins right now...uh...shit...uh...gotta go~ :shock:
This track is all melvins; lively, crazy drums, fun, twisted, there's drone and weird vocals, and the last part at the end where it speeds up needs to go on for 5 more minutes. It's everything you SAY you want from your favorite band, but can't stop bashing it, because you're jaded, until you reach the point that it becomes self evident you're foolish...then you'll buy all the limited editions and claim, "It just took a while to grow on me...like a wart."
The song itself is great, good mix, great drums and riffs, but the whole thing suffers to what amounts as a serious problem that has developed over the last few years.
The vocals are fucking god awful.
Listening to the new tune now... This song is alright!
Love the dueling vocals on this in the start of the tune. I'm not sure how I feel about the ending of the song (It makes me think of Baroness, a band I'm not exactly rabid about not to mention it's a bit cheesy.) but I'll give the EP a shake for sure!
That song is sick. Death to haters!

I really love Jared's vocals. That being said, I can see how people would hate them.
if anything the new melvins has been wearing thin with me. hoping freak puke will reel me back in.
well, i'm listening to it a day later, after listening to most of bullhead, after a nice amount of drinks. perfect situation to listening to music one wants to like. but i'm sorry. this is shite. it really is. once again, after a minute (those intro drums are good), what the fuck are you guys on about?
don't wanna hammer or intrude on someones fun, but i've also read comments here how nothings being produced thats worth listening too, well... good luck to ya but im a 33 year old man and theres a whole lot of good shit happening that's well worth a listen and unfortunately this song is not part of this.
this is shit.
but, i love you guys.

The song may not be perfect in your mind because its not what you expect.
or because it sounds exactly like what we expected :P
I have listened to the song once. I was really tired and in an airport after a 6 hour flight and preparing for an 8 hour flight. Now that I am in Krakow I am going to listen again.
I really like the song. I do not want the Melvins to be anything but what they are and when they are. This is all just another step in their progression. I remember back when a good friend of mine was all pissed when Stoner Witch came out. He said the bass playing was too fancy and the album was nothing like Bullhead or Lysol.
Melvins have been evolving since 1983. This is a good thing. Even if there is not a particular era one may not like as much as another, you can bet that there will be much more on the horizon. I mean, now we have multiple versions of Melvins existing at the same time. How fucking cool is that?

yep, you said it.
Im gonna risk being the bad guy and say I don't think its that great. buzzos singing parts are cool though. I still cant stand jared.
i had to turn it off halfway through, found it annoying. i'll try again later.
i have hope for the melvins lite.
do you think it sounds just kinda weak? like they are just trying to re-imagine ASA, but not really improve it? this is also what happens when you write so many songs you feel compelled to go back in the closet and dig out some riffs. then instead of conveying your realtime emotions within the entire song, you get flashbacks, causing it to just sound the same. i've learned not to go back as much, and try to write in the moment. that was wayyy to introspective. alas, this well may go dry pretty soon. time to kick out the bassist.
many of the songs, including this one conjure up images of college boys getting drunk with heaps of "fuck yeahs" and high fives going around. it has that annoying all american sound, i don't know how to explain it, just how it sounds to me.
you explained it pretty well,i can see your point there. it seemed a lot of people on here loved that Guns song on the last BB record though

one more melvins album and then buzz and dale retire to leave the melvins name to jared and coady and maybe toshi will join. there's your NEW melvins.
I was talking about this with another friend of mine, Like maybe one day Buzz and Dale have to pass the "melvins" torch to the next generation, that would be cool there was still "melvins" when my grandchildren are running around.
I wonder.

Buzz did comment that when he dies he'd like all the bands music to cease to exist too. So don't get your hopes up.
Melvins - The War on Wisdom (New Track - 2012) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFUreEdu94A#)
yeah, I guess, I understand, I already hate my own band.
:lol:
Having listened to it a few times now. Yeah, it's fine.
The problem-ish I have is that it could easily be on any of the last 3 studio albums (as loads of people have posted), and while I'm OK with the last 3 albums (well Bride is still not great for me, but generally) I would've loved them to try something different, given this is an EP released for free to anyone with a decent broadband connection, surely they could've stretched a bit? Experimented. Who's gonna gripe about a free release?
Oh...

Wow. That just blew my mind. I can't think of a more Melvins thing to do, since they are ALWAYS thinking outside the box. That would just be awesome!

I completely disagree. The Melvins are nothing without Buzz and Dale, but especially Buzz since it is his band. The idea of Jared and Coady carrying on under the "Melvins" is sort of an insult . Once Buzz and Dale have nothing to do with the band, the Melvins should cease to exist.
Disagree with what? what the hell..
I didn't say I WANTED the torch pass to actually happen, we'd both just asked the question because the BB guys are like y'know sort of like the sorcerers apprentice....but melvins. I can't think of any other band having that much clout and effect.
just to clear that up.
:o
How about we rename this thread "the war on whining".
What? :o
i cant wait to see TWOW live. those power chords as a wall of sound will be a different thing than what they sound like on computer speakers. the snare line leading into the middle part, the middle part, the landslide drums beginning the end part, and the drums at the end are all genius.
as for bigmelvins griping, bigmelvins shows are better than a few other lineups i've seen. also, jared has done some of the best melvins vocals in my opinion, dog island for example.

Well put, Manwithnoname.
Melvins are still doing what no one else is doing - but in a different sense than
how it was perceived ten or twenty years ago. That's essentially what we want, right? Melvins making something new....
When Buzz and Dale are too old to make those heavy riffs and cymbal crashes that we all know and love (let's hope it never comes to this) I hope they go on and continue their act as an old-man synthrock duel.
LONG LIVE THE MELVINS
:lol:
Now that my panties are no longer in a bunch let me clarify.
I understand that some people may not like what the Melvins have been doing in recent years and that's perfectly fine. We all have our favorite melvins records, periods we prefer and stuff and that's cool.
My problem is just with the fact that it seems some people here have preconceived notions of what the Melvins are and they judge their recent work based on those preconceived notions.
What I love about the Melvins is that you can't fit them in a neat little box. Every time you attempt to do that, they throw you a curveball that undermines whatever defined that neat little box.
the Melvins are everything and nothing at the same time. They are complete chaos. Having preconceived notions about the Melvins or attempting to fit them in a neat little box is missing the point entirely.
What?
I'm so confused.
some may argue about the new stuff, honestly, you'd be pretty hard pressed to find better guys to fit the melvins bill than jared and coady...dont you forget it.

x2
On a side note, the one complaint I still don't get is their songs sounding the same since Big Business joined. I really don't hear it at all. Look at The Water Glass, I'll Finish You Off, My Generation, and PGx3 from BSM and those songs sound
nothing like anything they've done before, and that's nearly half of the album! While the other songs are more traditional Melvins rockers I still don't feel like they're a rehash of anything. I might get a slight vibe, like being briefly reminded of Tipping the Lion when Hospital Up starts, but it's pretty minor stuff. Nothing more than being vaguely reminded of Sweet Willy Rollbar when I hear Mombius Hibachi.
Also, a lot of people who complain how similar the Big Business era Melvins albums are seem to rank The Ramones, Motorhead, High on Fire, Om, and The Jesus Lizard as one of their favorite bands with no complaints about how similar each of their albums are (although we all know how much most TJL fans love "Blue"). I mean I love Prick, Singles 1-12, Honky, and CoD, and I don't even consider The Bride Screamed Murder to be in my top 10 favorite Melvins albums, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't listen to it more than those 4 albums combined. There's a certain addictive quality to the new Melvins albums (not to say that previous albums weren't addictive). I just feel like there's more depth and subtle little things to discover than there has been in the past.
I have more to rant about but I'll spare you. Time to drink. :cheers:
yeah I hear what your saying about Mombius hibachi, It has a little peice of sweet willy rollbar in there.
and the Changeover riff hints of another part of a track on BSM.
:)
but It's cleverly twisted! like most good melvins.
I'll bring this up one last time because I think it's a cool idea. The thought of Melvins continuing on for "the next generation". Perhaps the band evolves into a sort of art installment with rotating members or something like Chicken Switch. I dunno. I guess the guys in the band would have a better idea as to how this would work. As Melvins obsessives, we're alll very spoiled to revel in their consistent and quality output whether it sounds "samey" or not.
I mean, in terms of other bands that have held it together for this long, there are very few that continue to be this forward thinking. Shit, they've dabbled in thrash, electronica, ambient, acoustic, ummmm, I'm sure I'm forgetting something. Oh and they seem to be good at everything they try. Most of us play or have played music and we know this isn't easy.
Get the fuck off this board if you continue to question the prowess of the mighty Melvins.

I was thinking this might become the latest addition :lol:
I prefer Melvins as a trio, with Buzz solely on vocals, with Dale sharing in when needed, but register and accept that they want to continue with BB. I think the new stuff brings nothing new to the table, but as Dijk says, it will still be a treat to catch them live.

Even if i don't adore the songs there is still that intangible something that makes them special somehow. Hmm its an interesting thought there MrLuck. :-k

Naw...but we also do not have to second guess what the Melvins are doing. I do not like ALL of their songs - but it is the second guessing or the "why don't they do this?" stuff that is silly. That is why we can all start our own bands! :)
I don't see why there are so many complaints that it sounds like a left over track from ASA or Bride. Pretty much every band takes some old riffs/etc from the vaults and re-develops them sometimes years down the line, and makes something new out of it. I think the new song is pretty good, and I happen to like Bride. At least it is a free EP , and will not cost us like $50 for limited edition super-rare 7" vinyl.
Maybe the Melvins will leave us with something like this?

i am too lazy to go through all the posts but sometimes the "fans" are very quick to call others "haters". in fact, no one was referring to lysol or eggnog whatever but manwith and sadcorps.
I don't have a problem with anyone not liking the new stuff nor am I calling anyone out for being haters.
All I'm saying is that if YOU don't like the new stuff it's not because the melvins have changed (or not) it's because YOU don't like it. Attributing whatever perceived quality or lack thereof to the melvins is bullshit.

I was using an example of a friend that I had who did not like Stoner Witch when it came out because it was not like Lysol. Some bands are perfect not changing...Slayer, AC/DC...some bands blow it when they change...Ramones...some bands evolve....Melvins!
So much discussion and we've only heard one song. :lol:
Maybe the bulls and the bees is more like bullshit and b-sides. Maybe it's not supposed to be the greatest new thing but more of a "here is some other stuff we did with big business" or Here are some extras that scion paid us to record and you can have it for free. Either way I don't feel one bit ripped off or disapointed. I guess I'm just saying that maybe the problem starts in the expectation that everything should top everything else. I do think that freak puke will be great though.

i had to turn it off halfway through, found it annoying. i'll try again later.

do you think it sounds just kinda weak? like they are just trying to re-imagine ASA, but not really improve it? this is also what happens when you write so many songs you feel compelled to go back in the closet and dig out some riffs. then instead of conveying your realtime emotions within the entire song, you get flashbacks, causing it to just sound the same. i've learned not to go back as much, and try to write in the moment. that was wayyy to introspective. alas, this well may go dry pretty soon. time to kick out the bassist.
to be honest i just don't like the big melvins sound. the tone of the guitar and i hate to say it, the drumming too, just doesn't do it for me.
many of the songs, including this one conjure up images of college boys getting drunk with heaps of "fuck yeahs" and high fives going around. it has that annoying all american sound, i don't know how to explain it, just how it sounds to me. don't like it, lacks depth, lacks soul.
probably the only one or one of few that feels this way here, but that's my opinion. not trying to upset anyone or get into a debate.
i'd be happy if they went into the closet as you say and dug out the riffs from bullhead, or hat.
hoping that melvins lite will capture a different style than big melvins.

that first song is plain & simply BORING.
GET HIM!!!!just kidding. HA! :D
hey.. at least I can laugh.
We know for a fact that Buzz writes 99% of the music yet some of you seem to blame big business for this supposed "turn for the worse". How does that make any fucking sense?
From what we know (which isn't much) , the way the melvins write is as follows: Buzz shows up with songs, presents them to the boys and says "What would you do with this?" They're free to do what they want within the parameters of the structure created by Buzz. I'm not claiming to know all the ins and outs of melvins song writing and shit, just going from what we know.
On a side note, what's wrong with a little lively discussion about the Melvins? Is this not what this board is about?
No one should be afraid to express their opinions on the Melvins but need to accept that not everyone agrees and they'll sometimes be confronted with people who disagree -- OH THE HORROR!

That's it. You seem like the one who's making the biggest deal of differing opinions.
My first post was most definitely a bit reactionary, that I admit. I don't have a problem with differing opinions, but if I disagree I'm going to state it.
If some people here are too thin-skinned to have their opinions confronted and questioned, that's not my problem.

I hope Buzz is taking notes! Doesn't he realize that the melvins world revolves around us the uber fans and not the other way around!

I think Buzz most likely tailors his writing towards the strengths of a current line up (whichever that may be).
I mean listen to some of the other stuff the BB guys (especially Jared) have done ... usually, heavy, rocking, fun loving, or as of late oprearetic, overdramatic prog. While perhaps Melvinesque at times; usually much more lighthearted, and straightforward rock based approach ... much like the newer Melvins stuff ... I can totally hear it, can't you? Not like Buzz hasn't delved into more straightforward rock mode before ... but it was a nugget here and a nugget there ... over the last few (and seems to be new) releases this "rock" approach has seemed to dominate.
Some like, Some don't.

I think Buzz give fuck all in what we write here. If he had read it, perhaps he had appreciated the critizism, perhaps not, but most probably he would have been nevermind. The whiners will anyhow buy the new record, no matter if they like it or not, that`s guaranteed.
I really like the new track, it'd fit much better on TBSM than that awful Who cover. 8)
I feel inclined to throw in my 2 cents on the new track. And the Big Melvins conversation.
This new tune is hard to place. It incorporates everything I've ever loved about the Melvins, but at the same time, feels like something I wasn't expecting. That being said, after being a fan since 1991 or so, I know better than to expect something from them. To expect a song or album to sound like anything else they've done is nonsensical. You haven't been a fan very long if you're expecting the same thing twice in a row. And I let my expectations get ahead of my common knowledge of the band. To sit and think you're going to get another Lysol, Bullhead, Houdini, or even GPT is insane. They've done it and moved on and so should you. The Melvins and more specifically Dale are the only band where I've ever considered a drumbeat to be a riff. Same goes for Buzz's vocals. The only band ever to make me feel like the drums and vocals are musical instruments in a song. They incorporate everything possible into a song in a way that almost no other band cares to.
Adding Jared and Coady only made them better IMO. I fucking love seeing vid's of Dale and Coady playing in perfect synchronicity. Anyone who plays drums know's how hard Dale's beats are. Imagine trying to play them along with him?! Jared's voice sync's up and accent's Buzz's. Big Biz's songs and style sync's right with the Melvins. How this isn't a musical match made in heaven for anyone I just don't get. ASA was such a powerful introduction to the next rung on the Melvins ladder. Look, we all know Dale is a powerhouse. We all love seeing Dale kill it solo behind the kit. But what I don't get is why some people hate on having two drummers. Don't let your love of the bands old music get in the way of enjoying the new music. Be glad that a good band has made it this far and given us this much music and entertainment. Be glad that they are still doing it and that they are putting their music out there in the best way that makes them money and still let's us hear it.
Well, I feel better.

No one here is in the position to direct anything, but as fanboys we have our different opinions. In my book Buzz and Dale are ingenious, but I believe that no matter if they are in 100% control of the band that BB is now a part of, the double drumming and Jareds vocal + BBs style lays certain terms and has an effect on how stuff sounds. If that`s Buzz` intention that`s ok, but us fanboys between must have a possibility to exchange views.
PS! Not everything made together with BB is bad in my book, there are som real highlights on the prior records, and live they are amazing.
So. I listened to the war on wisdom.
First of all, I love the melvins. But I can

But hey, at least the kids seem to like it - there has seemed to be a lot more younger people at the shows since the bands merged. i guess its more accessible now..
so true
I would love it if the next tour was just a 3 piece again. Not saying I dont like the 4 piece version of melvins, just a preference to see them back to 'normal'.

ManWith, aren`t people allowed to have their opinion?
Yes, people are allowed to have their opinions and the issue isn't "he doesn't like a song I like!". At this point a lot of people who criticize the Melvins here are just sounding like a broken record. I feel like we could basically look at everything negative that was said about The War on Wisdom, look at the complaints from The Bride Screamed Murder, and they'd be about the same.
For example, I was trying to figure out why "dijk cheese" didn't like the new song. He made comments about it sounding like college rock and it lacked depth and soul. I pointed out why I thought he was wrong (aka my opinion). His next post on the thread was about how "this is shite. it really is.", "what the fuck are you guys on about?", and another closing "this is shit.". I get it, he doesn't like the song. I can live with that. Of course I can! How else could I live on a planet where no Melvins albums have gone gold?
But the thing is I find it baffling. If I play The Bride Screamed Murder for some teenage girls who are LMFAO fans then I won't blink twice when they call the album "shit". If I play it for fans of Hostile Ambient Takeover and they call it "shit" I can't help but say "You think so?!?! Really?!?! How come?!?!"
It's about like if I met someone who claimed to be a huge Black Sabbath fan but they hated Vol 4.
"Really? But you like the other albums? How is that possible?"
"It sounds like the last albums and it's shit"
"I just don't hear it. I mean Fx and Changes sound nothing like anything else they've ever done. I guess Snowblind is a little similar to Sweet Leaf with the drug theme and all but they're pretty different songs!"
"It's shit"
It's just not a very satisfying answer. However that's about what it feels like every time there's discussion about new Melvins at this point. It's just the same tired arguments with nothing new being brought to the table.
But anyway, I was considering not even posting this mainly because it's difficult to judge someone's tone through text. I'm not mad at anyone and I personally don't think anything was ban worthy.
dijk wasn't serious about the college rock dig. i'm not the only sarcastic bitch here.

Hello......SUPERNAUT!!!!! That was unlike anything they'd done too and is the sole reason Volume 4 reigns supreme. The funkiest shake your ass riff around and an all-round brilliant tune.
I don't think dijk meant to say "it's shite".....I think he got a little too excited and meant to say "it's dull and predictable imho and it's now been around 7yrs, 3 studio albums coming up 4 and unknown amounts of live albums with this line-up and I want a change as one of THE coolest bands on the planet seems to be getting stale in the studio which dissapoints me greatly".

It's one of Melvins very best as far as im concerned.

I really don't like volume 4 as much as some of the others. I don't like tomorrow's dream. Here is my top 5 list. the last two are in a distant last place.
1. Black Sabbath
2. Sabotage
3. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
4. Paranoid
5. Master of reality
As for the Melvins
1. Hostile Ambient Takeover
2. Lysol
3. Pigs of The Roman Empire
4. Stag
5. Ozma
That is what I like best. I don't hate any of it. But the new song seems to blend civilized worm/smilingcobra and parts of TBSM. I think it's an interesting B-side or extra, but not album material. Maybe we should consider that it's just the scion E.P. and probably dosen't reflect the direction of future projects.
I only like Jared's vocals on A History of Bad Men, other than that I can do without him. But I do think that it shows a lot of balls on Buzzo's part to let someone else do lead vocals from time to time.
That's my opinion man...try not to cry about it.

What's the definition of an EP, again? I forgot.
Extended Play
more songs than a single, but not a full album

If you love yamz, I do to. But who is he?
I dunno. someone who needs love?
Let`s all just come together and sing along to the mighty Wet Wet Wet: (connect, people, for fuck sake connect!!)

Who am I.. No idea.
But Schnab is right we need to connect more. We need to come together as a board. Coming together is how you build a healthy relationship.

I think it will rock heavily, Eggnog is one of their eps and it is one of the best things that they have done.

So if it goes on track number does that mean Lysol is a single?

left my earbuds in the car, which is across campus. not too inspired to go get them either. BUT I'M SURE I'LL LOVE THE SONG!!!!
buzz has his ZOSO/MOFO cabinet again!
I like that much better than the first track.
The vocal interplay is obviously a bigger focus now. First part sounds like a throwback to older times (in a good way) maybe Lysol-y for me???
Grand :D
We are Doomed sounds great! awesome intro indeed.. So far these 2 songs definetely remind me of Nude With Boots, the drums, guitar tone..

Even worse my cell phone. It almost sounds like listening thru an intercom.
i like both songs so far. curious for the whole ep.
i still think the melvins release some of the best music in contemporary rock.
or at least no rockband comes to my mind which releases new stuff i am still intersted in when comparing to their older releases. so from my point of view: good job!
still expecting a tad more from freak puke...
I just listened to both songs.
WOW.
The drums are very powerful.

We Are Doomed
This one's good. The jam that kicks in about half way through is great. Much better than the first one although it took until about halfway that it became formidable.
I really like this.
sounds like blues
Someone is trolling the comments :lol:
I think it would be hard to dislike this track and still make a convincing argument that you are a Melvins fan.
i like "we are doomed" much better than the first track. nice and slow. i dig.
HAHA holy shit awesome!
The start of A Really Long Wait sounds like GSYBE!!! :o
All of the songs are really awesome.
stop it with all the "THIS IS AWESOME!!" and "TRACK SO-AND-SO ROCKS!!" crap. you're KILLING my art of patience.
still can't hear the fucking.... mutter mutter... 3 more hours.. mutter mutter...
Feltch may have to just suck it up and enjoy some nasty tunes. maybe it'll push Tom Petty - Breakdown out of his mind that he's been whistling for the last 2 hours.
These songs all suck! It's no wonder they're all free!
Is that better? Even if it's not at all true?
thank you. you just soothed the savage beast.
I knew there was something about you that I liked.
This release sounds great, a solid melvins album; I can't believe it's free. Tracks two, three, and five I really like..will have to listen again later.
i like twow more after hearing the whole thing, the ep is a solid collection. could they do the violin one live? are those violins?

Hmm, it was publicly available links to stream tracks from a free album. It's not like it was a link to a mediafire download of freak puke. Why so ban-happy? I honestly didn't think it would be a problem, sorry!
I've learned my lesson and I'm ready to be good now!
Another ban. :?
posting DL's always was a ban-able offense. or at very least a stern talking too.
just ask me about my experiences with a certain mr. timothy j. moss. :(

we are doomed is pretty fucking great but doesn't the verse guitar parts sound a little like "suicide in progress"?.....who cares it's great....
I fucking love it.
It seems to encapsulate everything about the melvins. Part of it is Lysolish, while other parts are bootlickerish while still being very much in the Big Melvins style.
The Melvins can do no wrong.

I'm on the third listen of We Are Doomed. I'm very surprised by the positive reaction for this track and the so-so feedback of The War On Wisdom, because I like The War On Wisdom a lot better. I'm hoping We Are Doomed will grow on me.
Listening to it more and I realize now it's excellent. My statements from my previous post were partly a result of mixed expectations on my part! I should know now not to expect things to be a certain way with the Melvins. The song's a grower, though. It has a cool "dark" intro with some great drumming. After that I was expecting something slow and sludgy in the vein of A History Of A Bad Men. Instead we get a slow "happy" almost bluesy kind of laid back groove. Not "Shevil" laid back, but in the vein of Billy Fish and the second part of Suicide In Progress. It really gets good when the vocals kick in. The vocals on this track (and on The War On Wisdom) are excellent. The song gradually unfolds until the riffs get darker and more menacing, yet with the catchy vocal harmonies remaining intact, but sounding darker. And yeah, I definitely hear the resemblance with the "don't look down" part of Electric Flower. I'm looking forward to hearing how We Are Doomed flows into Friends Before Larry.
One other note-on the first couple of listens I found myself wishing that the guitar was more distorted. Then I realized that's part of the song's charm. It's heavy and menacing without heavy distortion and it works. I was thinking about Buzz's comment about these songs being "amazing with their calm intensity" and that statement really rings through to me with We Are Doomed. There's a calm intensity throughout the whole song. I think I get where Buzz is coming from.
im really liking the guitar tone.

In your case, it will probably be best heard performed live. Just like how I prefer Let It All Be live over the studio version from The Bootlicker.
I like both songs we have heard from this. Thank you Melvins for this freebie. You didn't have to do this and I want to say that I appreciate it and the work you put into it. Cannot wait for Freak Puke but I will...

I agree with both of you about those albums. I remember reading negative reviews on it and being warned by the chick that got me into Melvins that it is nothing but noise, though after I listened to it I loved it.
I leave C.O.D. in my kitchen, it's good cooking/cleaning music
I actually find that it's the album that enables me to multi-task the most. It's a perfect soundtrack to my daily life.

i'm glad it's not 1 track of noise like COD. That cd was awful.

( :D So sorry, mate, that was uncalled for, just kidding)
:lol:
if you like eye flys then you love COD.
I wonder how many people have overlooked the amazing ending on COD? Just listen to the first 5 mins, turn it off and throw it in the trash thinking it's JUST noise.
Sorry , I meant no offense by my opinion of COD. I know, a lot of people are accused of not being a "true fan" from not liking COD. No, I'm not retarded.

I don't think of anyone not being a ''true fan'' if they do not like Prick or COD. I don't like The Crybaby except for a couple songs.
and anyway, this new ep is so fucking great!!!! 8)

this thing is growing on me. it has this sinister beauty that makes melvins music MEVINS music.
I got a question though: is NATIONAL HAM the bigger, more worldly brother of the BIZ track CITY HAM?
One week to go before I can hear the other 3 songs. :D Hurry up dammit I want my Melvins

"....there will be another Melvins release called Freak Puke....... I
I didn`t hate the first track, but it isn`t anywhere near the two new ones, with Friends before Larry being one of the best, perhaps the best track since way back. Humongous!
Friends Before Larry leaves me underwhelmed but at least the EP is free. The War On Wisdom and We Are Doomed are the stronger tracks.
Man, everything after the first third of We Are Doomed is fucking killer. I am really getting into this.
Me likey. One week!
who the hell is singing on friends before larry? almost sounds female. reminds me of the residents.
awesome song!

it will make more sense when you have the whole ep- and it's a grower, so just give it a chance with maybe a little lower expectations and the 'calm brooding intensity' buz talked about will become apparent! :wink:

great MELVINS song.
Great song! The beginning is a lot like POTRE. The song is also like something from Big Biz Mind The Drift. kinda

think that's Jared too. Seems he does alot of the vocals on Bulls...
New Melvins and payday on the same day, life is good. \:D/
I'm really loving B&B. Fucking love it. It strikes me as the sort of missing logical link between Pigs of the Roman Empire and A Senile Animal. Pigs is one of my favorite albums, so I love this.
Also I think the tracks cohere nicely with each other.
Can some nice person pick me up a spare CD version please, I'll pay postage.
is this only available for download or will they be available in stores as well?

where do I download the bulls and the bees? cant find it. or am i that tired?
I can't find the ep on the scion site either. Are they just slow to put it up or am I missing something? I would like to rock this on my way to work today.
been up since 6:30 this morning so i could do the same. now this day is just ok :(
It's not on their facebook page either. No updates today on either the scion a/v site, the scion a/v metal page, or the official melvins facebook pages. Still early though.
Maybe because it's free they arent in a huge hurry to put it up for download. I swear, if i had a dime for everytime someone reminded me that this was free I could afford to buy one at regular price.
Im sure it'll be on there later. It's still morning in the US.
Patience Melvins fans, patience.

National Hamster is my favorite track on this so far. It's the song Alice in Chains fucking WISH they could write...
Hoping this pops up to download soon, but I am willing to wait patiently since it's free.

This album sounds a heck of a lot better. The streaming tracks we were treated with must have been a lower quality. ABOVE ALL THANK YOU MELVINS FOR THIS!!!
FYI: check out Scion's facebook posts about this release. For those who can't make it to a show to get the CD, they'll send you one at no cost. I emailed them about it yesterday and got a quick, friendly response. Almost sounds too good to be true, but if I can get the CD within a week or so, I'll hold off on downloading it.

Who do you email? Their website seems to hate me.
Does Scion hate music or something? mp3's? Really? Scion couldn't get it together to offer some type of lossless format? Weak. Fuckin teenyboppers and their mp3s. Oh well, time to go listen to the new Melvins in all its lossey glory!

Indeed I would DC. I mean how much effort would it be for little 'ol Glenifer to lob a little spit in the palm right? It's called courtesy ... free or not. That being said, I'd turn it down spit or no ... Glen is sweet an' all but I'm not an amputee, ya know? I can do that shit myself ... better and still free! I mean if someone's gonna step up to the plate at least do it with an open mouth or a lossless download!
Really digging 3 thru 5 ...
DC, I'm sorry, I'm a lazy asshole ... you still want those Melvins dvds? PM me you addy.
A man after my own heart. If glen ever offers, "no" is the only correct response. Dunno what kinda Detroit funk he's rocking, but rest assured you don't want it :D

Amphetamine plans on doing a vinyl release in a month or two. For now, just take the free download. The pre-stream is a little low-fi so I think you should grab the one from the Scion site. It has the best sounding mix.

Yeah, I got that one ... and my first Scion spam too! A is cd coming my ways I believe. And if the AmRep's got a cool cover, and I got the squid ...
Still I'm sure Scion shot the Melvins more than like, the iRecord app. to lay it down. Then Scion turn around an cheap it out with an mp3?
It's a whole other long winded argument I shant go on with ... simply put Melvins or not, Scion or not, mp3 sounds like shit.
But, yes much better than the stream ...

That's something I've been wondering, how much these free CDs will go for on ebay [-X Anyone who gets an extra one should definitely hook someone up here, like the Euro peeps, before cashing it in.

Judge not Chiefy. My extras are going to some fellow indians here.
Hello everybody! (I hope to post my message to the right place). Let me explain, I want a cd bulls and the bees and like everyone else I think i send an email. Here is the discussion I had with Scion (Camille is me):
"Me: I heard that it was possible to get the latest release of the Melvins "Bulls & The Bees". Is this true? Thank you from France!
Him: Unfortunately, we are not able to ship any physical copies of this record internationally.
However, if you have a friend in the states I will gladly send it to him/her?

i emailed them a while ago with no reply :( , but i am up in canada so again :(

who do i need to e-mail so i can get a copy?

if you can would you get an extra for me? i'll pay for shipping up to the canadas

i'd almost bet the house he's using an sampling app called thumbjam. the violins sound exactly like the samples on the app and when you use the accelerometer for vibrato and/or move your finger up and down really fast, it sounds more like a theramin than violins. you can also set it up to have up to 7 octaves on the screen at one time. i've used it a bunch. they prolly used it on the ep too.
I'm gonna have to look into Thumbjam, it's got some good reviews.

I'm just on my break at work and it's early in the morning and dark, it's raining with lots of lightning and thunder , I have bulls and the bees cranked and it's really fitting the mood, this is a great feeling. I love when you get into a song or album and you have one of those moments

I had that yesterday half stoned listening to WE ARE DOOMED at volume 11 whilst in transit. I found myself wishing there was a volume 12.
so i just got an email back and yes no shipping to canada, but if i have a friend in the U.S they will ship to them for me...rhyme orange did they get back to you?
someone in the states needs scion to send them a box of these so we can get these to us "out of towners"
I just got word from Scion: they are sending me cd's, maybe more than one, plus I'll pick more up at the 2 shows in florida next month.

Did they actually say they are shipping them now ? I got an e-mail back saying they did not have the CDs
yet but when they get them that I would get a copy sent to me.
Dude told me he'd send me an email when the package has shipped.
I promised to buy a few Scions if they shipped me the CD, we'll see if it works.
IN sweet!
:lol: let me know how they drive.
I had a snappy comeback, but I have to be kind now to my new friends at Scion even if they do just so happen to make homosexual automobiles, not that there's anything wrong with that. I mean to even say Scion you have to lisp.
Could anyone please hook me up with a copy of the EP ? Willing to Paypal beer money and postage to get it to old blighty!
Don't know if this was posted already. There's a youtube channel named SCIONAV with the e.p. and the lyrics to all of the songs. I assume they're official -- they sound right, anyway.

Really liking this EP, shits all over TBSM.
Here's my take on the new EP y'all.
http://www.punknews.org/review/11043 (http://www.punknews.org/review/11043)
(Also, I am correct that Big Biz IS on Bulls and bees, right?)
thanks for posting and yes, Jared&Coady both play on this EP
Someone at work pulled up a Bulls and the Bees review for me to read. The author claims Coady was indeed not present on the EP. Upon multiple listenings, it's totally apparent to me that two drums are in the mix. Dale and Coady even play parts of We Are Doomed on that drumbattle video...
I'll see if I can dig it up later tonight.....

Read and discuss
Anyone listen to this on good headphones? Notice the ghosting from ambient drum mics picking up the others' drumming, like coady's mic picking up dale's sound and vice versa( a faint phaser type sound on the left channel picking up the right)?
Regardless, thank for the link to the lyrics. Nice find!
I can now sing along without making bullshit up.

Very odd claim. It's pretty obvious to me that there are two drummers. Not to mention Coady's frequent tweets about the EP and there being a kid version of Coady in the music video.
Ya, that guy has his head up his ass, he's confusing the Freak Puke press release with The Bulls and Bees press release.

morons...
:P
It's obvious Coady is on the EP. Silly reviewers. [-(
Well, duhhhhhh :wink:
My aim here was to get you guys to rip him a new one. Another friend and Melvins listener had mentioned the same thing to me over lunch a week ago. I'm not sure if he had gotten the info from the same review or not.
But yes, dueling drum kits are obviously present.

Nice AV.
Welcome 2
do you guys think buzz still over sees most of the drum parts on the last few albums? or since there's two drummers has he left it to dale and coady to come up with everything in the percusiion side?
I think he leaves most of it up to Dale and Dale then tells Coady what's going to happen. Coady will add a bit of Coadyness to it which will please Dale and Dale will then run it by Buzz who will say yea or nay.
Mackie probably has the final say, but they won't tell us this until Buzz is interviewed well into his eighties.
So, any news about the Ep on CD?
I really want to see it, specially the package and artwork.

Of course I altered it
Aaaaaa!! I thought it was real. I thought Melvins had made it to the big time and had their very own meme . :(
Of course it's NOT real. No one in their right mind would marry a Melvins fan. Speaking of which, how do so many of you have wives and children? :lol:
My wife knew I was a huge music dork from the minute I met her. She is a huge lover of music also.. I would not have been able to marry her otherwise. We've been to countless shows over the last 12 years.. Including Melvins.
-I actually proposed to her at a Nick cave show

at least we have each other.
mine pretended she was interested for the first 10 years just to appease me. now she just says "turn that shit off".
actually thats not true. she can handle MELVINS. and is well aware of who they are. some of my more.. lets say
intense music she could llive without.
she likes the new EP though. it doesn't leave you with that ear-bleed feeling.
Here's my interview with Buzz about the bulls and the bees: http://www.sfexaminer.com/entertainment/music/2012/04/man-behind-melvins-buzz-osborne (http://www.sfexaminer.com/entertainment/music/2012/04/man-behind-melvins-buzz-osborne)
The printed version got chopped a little bit, so here is my original version of the piece, too:
"Interpreting the Melvins"
"It's because I've got cajones!" boasts Buzz Osborne, mastermind of the Melvins. Sometimes, the vocalist/guitarist/experimentalist can be a hard person to understand. In this instance, he
That was an interesting new perspective upon Buzzo's approach/creative leanings and or tendencies. Thanks man.

My wife has little intrest in the band or any of my music. But, as I stated somewhere on here, she's going to the show with me next week. Her last concert was Josh Groban which was difficult to forgive and thankfully I didn't have to go. I still have hope she'll join the Melvins Army with me.
Got my cd today. Sounds better than the download. Need the vinyl now....
Quote from: johnnyg on April 05, 2012, 11:44:28 AM
"The lyrics are very direct, even if I don't know what they mean. I've never had a certain way of doing things, so that leads to how our music comes out."
Thanks, Johnnyg! Buzzo interviews are always a pleasure. When I listen to Melvins, I prefer to make up my own lyrics. I will be happy in life if I never know what Jared is yelling from 3:20-3:26 on War on Wisdom. I don't want to know, and that's the beauty of it.....

To all that received the free CD, where are you located, and did you get an email from Scion saying it shipped? I'm in NY, nothing yet. I realize they're probably using media mail from California, and I'll give it another 10 days before I get impatient.
I just got a bunch of new Buckethead CDs and the new High On Fire to keep my mind off of it.
mine was shipped via UPS ground

Did anyone get a shipping email, or did they just show up?
just showed up with nothing but a sealed MELVINS :lol:

That's nuts. Scion must have alot of money to burn. You'd think giving away a bunch of CDs, they'd use the cheapest shipping option(media mail). UPS is the most expensive.

Yeah, for all the criticism or cynicism towards what Scion may be doing promoting music, i have to say they are really putting themselves wholeheartedly behind it. You have to respect that and i think they're doing a great job by all intents and purposes.
if theyre being shipped by UPS,expect them to be damaged or lost.
wow....never heard a response and my copy showed up in ole' North Cackalacky today!
Fucking Awesome....gotta give it up to Scion for doing this.
Indeed.

And I'd really like to support this company too.

Did they actually say they are shipping them now ? I got an e-mail back saying they did not have the CDs yet but when they get them that I would get a copy sent to me.
this was the same reply i got about 2 weeks ago. i thought they were all out, but i emailed them just in case and they said they would send me one when they got them in stock.
here's hoping.

still no hard copies yet.
how did I get forgotten?
maybe a flag was raised when they saw 4 or 5 of them going to the same address. #-o
Well i'll be damned! Seems not even a BBS super mod can exert that kind of leverage???

I haven't received mine either, but my buddy in Madison got his on Saturday :x
hmm, makes sense that scion/melvins would want to avoid the ebay sellers. people that want multiple copies for their own profit.
the irony.
speaking of pinky, is pinky a woman again? i thought it came out that she was a he?
for me from the language, he reads like a she.
or is it a he-she, like glen?

I was surprised by that too. I just assumed it was both of them. I like how they both have their own parts. Dale's quick drum attack is utterly great!
Just got the mail from Hunter as I checked if they still got the EP, but as I'm in Europe now I'd need someone from the US - anyone who could please hook me up with a copy of the EP? And as Faust posted a few pages back and I copied: Willing to Paypal beer money and postage to get it to... here :) (as I'm not in old Blighty)!
still havent received mine.i have asked somebody to get me 1 at the upcoming shows.if i get an extra copy,i will send it to an overseas fan.NO ONE should be without this!
I just want to say that the new album is killer and that I am greatful to be able to download it for free. Thanks guys. (you need to come fucking tour in CT-now I have to hear this stuff live :D )

Oh crap! here we go again with rare versions only available at the shows. I sent an e-mail to Hunter and he told me that my copy is on its way to my cousin's home, yeah.
Same "disc" as the Scion version. Just put into a nice Letterpress package with different artwork.
And the title on the Letterpress version is "Bulls & Bees" not "The Bulls & The Bees".

Are they really playing all these tracks on the Unsane run? It's surprising if they're doing the ambient tracks - Friends w/ Larry, and Really Long Wait. They never do any of the ambient stuff from Honky, though they should. National Hamster is awesome, the guitar riff sounds like a lost Alice Cooper track circa 1971.

While I was listening to The Bulls & The Bees section of the set - the way they deliver it, in the same order - watching it happen three nights in a row made me think - THIS IS A CONCEPT ALBUM. In the 70s Hard Rock band kind of a way. Their is a little magic and mysticism of a mustached unicorns and gutted mermaids kind of way. When you see them play this live, think about that and let me know if I am off my rocker. Or fuck it, just listen to it because it rocks live!!!
Shit - you guys nailed it with the Alice Cooper!!!!!!

Just got the mail from Hunter as I checked if they still got the EP, but as I'm in Europe now I'd need someone from the US - anyone who could please hook me up with a copy of the EP? And as Faust posted a few pages back and I copied: Willing to Paypal beer money and postage to get it to... here :) (as I'm not in old Blighty)!
Your inbox is full.
so, a friend of mine went to the NYC show and they didn't have any copies there. i've asked before, but since i can't get a hold of a copy due to my non american-ness could somebody on here procure a copy for me, pretty please [-o<. i'll pay for postage and any other expenses. PM me if so. thanks a million??
got mine today!

Good, now I don't have to feel bad.
I'm completely amazed by the vocals on this EP. Vocals have always seemed like an instrument to me, and now they've gone from a 3 member band with 6 instruments, to a 4 member band with 8 instruments. I know it's been six years, but it seems like they're really reigning in what they can do as far as a 4 piece now.

I have been thinking that for a bit now.. Seeing them do this EP live last Sunday It was really evident. They have really expanded the pallet.. Every member is using their vocals in more creative ways than ever
So does anyone elses' disc(s) look like as if they may have been handled by a drunk four year old? Or maybe a guy on the line at some Toyota plant somewhere? Scuffs, fingerprints, just an overall film or filth all over the playing surface? Easily the worst shape (including used) I've ever bought a cd in. Seems to play fine, but still ...
And what's with the messy tracking between Friends Before Larry/A Really Long Wait? Sure seems as though they're supposed to meld/flow out and into one another, right? But there's that big ol' messy gap breaking the mood! Surely this wasn't intended from the Melvins' end? Scion gotta learn how to track an album a little better ...
Really dig those tunes (FBL/ARLW) nice turns at the wheel for the Melvins ... interesting territory ... dig the stangled/buried sounding leady guitar parts in FBL and the grunting at the begining is a nice touch. ARLW reminds me alot of A Silver Mt. Zion/GSYBE! kinda thing. Pretty cool to here Melvins' take on that style. Be interesting to know how they did what? Pencils, violins, softeeware or is there an app for that?
National Hamster is also pretty boss. Definatly hear the Coop thing going on ... kinda School's Out era vibe ... Also for some reason reminds me alot of Melvins' cover of Arnie (White Punks On Dope). Cool tune.

I have some European Flo and Eddie reissues that have the space between songs. A friend told me that happens sometimes when a label just wants to put something out and doesn't really pay attention to those things. I've just been listening to the burn I made before my CD arrived.
Flo & Eddie ... yeah, man!
i just saw these letterpress copies (http://www.ebay.com/itm/170835055399 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/170835055399)) and i want one so bad. i hope they have something new and tasty for the santa ana show next week
My Scion CD is mint and spotless. I did notice the strange gap between Larry/Really Long Wait. It doesn't seem right. Are the handmade CDs sold at the shows corrected, or are they just dupes of the Scion CD w/ different artwork?

The cds are the exact same ones. They are passed out with the empty sleeves.

god bless you buttholeman!

Yeah, the nice folks at Scion sent mine a couple days ago. I really dig the new EP. We Are Doomed is a titan.
Thanks Scion and THANKS MELVINS! I think its downright kind of y'all to give away a free EP. It's moves and sounds like these that make Melvins my favorite band.
Cheers!

Okay i'll do that later but i insist it's very, VERY underwhelming. Basically it consists of most of the studio albums on CD. But here's the real shocker for you ......get ready...... i've thrown out ALL, yes ALL the covers and cases!!!! :shock: :shock:
Even a few of their albums in the past too!!!! :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:
Yep Jules are you still standing? I never keep the cases for ANY band i own the album off. Just put the CD in a wallet or if it's someone like OM they go in a CD single style case. Yes the ultimate accolade!!! And that is your lot! I don't own ANY merch or tshirts or posters or vinyl or anything like that, just the albums. Im not personally fussed about all that peripheral stuff. I like to hear you guys get excited about it which i DO think is cool but just not for me. Truth be told i hardly ever play Melvins stuff bar the odd youtube video or something.

No im not THAT final with my decisions. It's not a statement really, just how i live. Anything paper gets recycled in the paper waste and same goes for card.
Sending them to me is also recycling.

My case was kind of bent up and the cd itself had a bit of dust or something on it. Kind of irritating.
I have to agree that the gaps in between the songs are distracting. We Are All Doomed is supposed to flow into Friends Before Larry more smoothly too. There's always a slight chance that The Melvins intended this because of the random things they've done in the past; like the 20min of silence at the end of Honky.
Also, can anyone confirm that the cd actually sounds better than the 320kbps mp3s? The gaps make me wonder if they just burned the mp3s to a cd.

when burning this say from itunes it always asks foe the seconds between songs gap songs that flow into each other have no seconds, it is annoying

Yeah, I was thinking similarily. Somehow, I just can't see it ... I mean that would be too fuckin amature ... even for a car company. Though I can't say I have high hopes for this kinda music publishing. I mean hell if the music business couldn't get it together to realease music successfully; as if a car company will ... it's an argument I could wax on all night about. Thou last time I did that 'round these parts I was labeled a commie pinko elitist ...
Back on track ... haven't listened to mp3/cd back to back. Thou I thought the same. I was expecting it to dwarf, crush, SMOTHER!! the mp3 ... I usually hear a big dif between the two, this time I didn't really notice one.
But man, National Hamster ... I hear the 'Coop of it ... kinda "School's Out" ... but for some reason it also reminds me of Melvins cover of "Arnie" (White Punks On Dope) ...

no way, the cd sounds alot better. it's too bad that most people will be listening to the mp3s.
ask scion for a cd, they send them out free.
southern lord is sending them out with dopesmoker cds, too.
Damn, I'm still waiting for my copy, at least now I can see the entire artwork thanks to forum users like black stallion, thanks man.
The CD sounds A LOT better. The download was very low-fi.

They WERE going for $20 but were gone before they made it to NYC :x
So, today I went to the Chilexpress agency at Alemania Avenue and now I finally have my copy. As you can see there are some details in the package that some users pointed out like scuffs or crumples but at least the CD plays fine. I haven't done the "experiment" to see if it sounds better or equal to the mp3 version but it seems to sound very well.

The two I got (one for me and one for a friend in the UK since they don't ship overseas) and they were both in great contiditon. No bends or folds, or nicks.
Got the CD copy today with the preview disc of Sleep's reissue (I ordered the vinyl).
The Southern Lord is so kind.

i dont think it's been said enough. this EP is a work of genius. the riffs, the harmonies, the song structure- all amazing.

agreed. the more listens, the deeper the hook.
it has goosebump inducing moments throughout.
I notice the bass drum counts have become more unique and prominent since Coady signed on. they'll have moments where the entire beat is driven by the double bass "thump... thump, thump, thump,thump, thump, thump.... thump"

Nice! Did Buzz have much to say? Did you meet any of the other melvins?
Anyone have any clue or heard any rumors about when Amp Rep will put out the vinyl? I think they might be putting out Freak Puke first. I love both, but don't feel like I really own them or can properly listen to them until I get the vinyl. I wonder if Bulls & The Bees would fit on a 10"? That would be hot, they haven't had a proper 10" since the days of Eggnog.
I got to meet dale also. Buzz was very gracious and very open to conversation. It was a small venue so i am not sure if that made a difference. I didnt want to be a bother but he kept on talking and asked ME lots of questions. Great guys! Brian W. Was awesome also, let me stand up by him because i am a shorty.

I would love to know if the art on the last run of letterpress were done by one of Dale's kids. They certainly have that look to them. Can anyone confirm or deny? If they were, that would make mine much cooler.

i read somewhere (dont remember where) that the art was from buzz and mac akie) mine is a picture of an alien looking guy and my friends looks like it is done by someone different. Hers is the black flag symbols and a guy that looks like buzz (at least his hair) lol
Mine says Food on one side and the other has a picture of a banana with the word banana above it and looks like it was drawn by a child.

I wonder what it would be like to be Dale Crover's kid :)
I imagine oatmeal-can drum-kit set-ups by the age of one, at least
She's already played on stage at a melvins show!
:shock:
Now that i would love to see. Does video footage exist?
There's a really cool father and daughter moment here at 0:44. Three drummers!! :o

Oh my that was really cute. I haven't watched that....I have to run so I'll have to bookmark it and watch whole thing later.....
Thanks :P
Yeah, you should watch that whole video. It's great and funny and one of my favorite youtube Melvins videos.

Video, I'm unsure. Audio, yes, and pictures, yes.

Ahhh yes. Just watched it. Turns out I actually had seen it before, but it's been a while so I'm glad I gave it another go. The bit about the bio on Ipecac coming from episodes of Futurama is fucking hilarious.
It hasn't changed either. Priceless.

That youtube video is a great one, I like how Dale slams the lockers at the end. His daughter is adorable...and badass! :lol:

this is a lot better than what i thought after the first listen. i'm not sure if i prefer Freak Puke than this...besides being totally different albums of course
I think this ep is one of the most overlooked things they've done in recent years. I would dare to say it's my favorite release with the Big Business guys. War on Wisdom and We Are All Doomed were amazing live.
I don't think Scion A/V (http://www.scionav.com/index) is mailing CDs out anymore, so here's the CD quality for everyone who didn't get one: FLACs (http://www.filedropper.com/thebullsthebees)

Agreed!
I was too lazy to get the c/d from Scion. Just realized I want a copy. Someone on eBay from LA has 83 copies for sale.
Been listening to this a lot post 30th Anniversary Tour.
I would just like to officially register how fucking good this EP is.

It's really great, but I can see why some of the fans complain about how
this is nothing more than a Big Business record,
that just happens to feature Dale and Buzz.
I would say that it fits in almost perfectly,
between Mind The Drift and Battlefields Forever.
Of course, I have no problem with this. I love both bands!

Only just listened to that The Bulls & The Bees again last week it kills me, greatness on that EP.
Curiously, (or not!) i find Bulls & Bees to be overrated in the Melvins catalog. Many fans here seem to really love this EP - i've seen some people hold it up as one of the best things they've EVER put out! Personally i don't hear that at all. I just think it's okay. 'We Are Doomed' is a really good song but the rest just doesn't really strike me very much. Although i do wish it was a full length album rather than an EP.

same here
Just listening to this one again. Ignoring my previous comment from a few years ago above, this is a great modern Melvins release! It flows together so, so well. Goodness i wish this had been a full album - far too much cool stuff going on to tuck it away as an EP that more casual fans may well never explore or hear about. Add 20 minutes and stick 4 more songs on here and it would have been a fabulous end to the BB era. I always remember some of the negativity here when we first heard 'The War On Wisdom', now that stands as a fine slice of Melvinsness! As does the rest too. Not that dissimilar to the previous Big Melvins records either really when one reflects back.

I knew you would come around eventually! I only listened to this again last week and it still makes me shake my head how good it is.

I think one of the reasons that it resonates so well and will hold up as being close to perfect is that it is an EP and leaves you wanting more (less is more). Loved this when it came out and still do. It's glorious and flows perfect.
I hope some day that they tour with BB again. That band would leave anyone with their jaw on the floor.
(or as Dale so perfectly said in Colossus of Destiny "This band will put your dick in the dirt" :lol: )
I often wonder why this was never fleshed out into a full length LP rather then the EP. A lot of Melvins records tend to be around 40 minutes in duration and at 23 minutes long it wouldn't have needed much to make this into a proper album. The fact it has some great songs on this is a bit disheartening too because as an EP it probably isn't as prominent in their discography as it would have been if it were an LP. I wonder if it was a Scion decision for it to be an EP or whether Buzz just didn't have any other songs at the time and simply felt like recording something shorter.
It seems likely that there will be an art edition for this release soon.
