However in the same year we got Bullhead.

My point? Melvins music just doesn't date. Really.
Yes, the production does let some of these earlier albums down a lot (BULLHEAD NEEDS TO BE REMASTERED STAT) and it's very easy to pick apart the 80's albums over the later ones.
Yet GPT, 13 songs, even Ozma, musically, they avoid all trends yet set them at the same time. Just take a minute and think of all Melvin's peers and all those big 90's bands that have come and gone...even cult avante garde bands like Mr Bungle ....dated. They're all confined to their place in time.
This defines classic.
I'm interested to know, do you fanboys out there still think these early albums will be fresh in perhaps a decade or two forward in time? Or is there anything you look back onto now and think it sounds like it belongs in the 80's or 90's?
I personally will not ever tire of this music!
Good music always remains fresh sounding.
Even if it does start to date you'll notice that music comes full cirlce.
It will date when it's mature enough not to have sex without a condom?
Actually I think after twenty years, if it hasn't turned sour yet, it won't. Like some classical music, some blues..it's probably ageless. If anything, it will sound strange if music ever switches from guitar based/guitar heavy music to some other type of instrument-central music.

Twiki!! :love:
Melvins just seem so removed like they're only playing music for themselves, so it's not exactly following any trends.Even when they cover Devo and the Beatles and such, it seems almost like they are looking from the outside at this rock culture and making fun of it in a way. I think because they don't take themselves seriously and don't get involved with labels. Thats what makes them so fooking greet (in scottish accent).

You called it.
Hmmm? Thou does the effect of something sounding dated necessitate that it is of no good? I think not. Heaps of tunes that sound dated just flat out rule

If a Bullhead remaster gets released. You can still listen to the original album and I'll listen to the remaster. This way we'll both be happy.

Wrong.
You'll both be happy..........but you'll also be gay for listening to a sissy polished version of the album.
Negative.
In other words are you saying Stag would be a better album if the drums sounded like tin cans and the guitar was recorded in a shitty garage with no bass? You should get a job as a journo or politician, they love double standards.
only crappy music dates..
MELVINS music is spoken for.
Sorry Razor, nah man I wasn
If you said it will date, you totally missed the reality of the Melvins. Shit is fucking timeless.
This thread is ridiculous.
D.J. Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince will NEVER go out of style.

Parents just don't understand, Mike.
Sorry, it was obligatory.
If by remastered you mean that Bullhead and Ozma need their volume boosted on CD then I would agree. Nothing wrong with the actual equalization of the instruments. Both albums sound fine, just that they need to be louder. Would love a reissue of both albums along with some extras like they did on 26 songs and GPT. Probably won't happen.
As far as timeless, GPT and Ozma will always be. Is there anything else out there by other bands that sounds like these albums?
I doubt it. The same can't be said for a lot of bands, though, from their age and now.

Remember the song "you saw my blinker bitch" I remember my stepbrother listening to that tape in his room and my stepmom throwing the tape away. Then later in the night she walked into my room while i was listening to GN'R LIES and the song " i used to love her, but i had to kill her was playing and she took away my whole damn radio!! Step parents SUCK!! especially if ya have a step brother or step sister cause they always get what hey want!!!
Totally off topic, but I think it's funny that you can always tell if a movie was made in the 80's/early 90's just by hearing the soundtrack. Cheesy casio style drums/keyboards etc.
It's late and I've had a few beers, sorry. :cheers:
