AWESOME!!!!
http://pitchfork.com/reviews/tracks/15521-melvins-dr-mule/ (http://pitchfork.com/reviews/tracks/15521-melvins-dr-mule/)
Those vocals are great.
Best song ever!
It really is now my new fav Melvins song!!!!!!
Mules are cool!
Mike Dillard and a few others had their hands in on this too. Literally :) *Clap* *Clap* *Clap*
I'm confused as to why they labeled it as a Melvins track, and not a Melvins 83 track though.
This turned out fucking awesome!
The vocal delivery is absolutely terrifying and the vibe is heavy as shit! Holy shit!! In four minutes it has a little bit of everything and a whole lotta good!
This is the kind of weird I want out of Melvins! A whole album like this would be a foregone conclusion to buy.
Had to Listen, wow, the fun never stops with these guys.
Someones got some Really Glitched out Circuit bent Guitar pedals on this one!!! :D :D :D
I hear some theramin in there too.
This is good.
New 7 inch in the works with this on the A side and American cow on the B side?
buzz mentioned that they will have a new 7" on volcom again.
hopefully it will be this! i did not listen to the songs... yet...
Killer lead guitar in this, i fucking love it!!!!!!!!
New Awesomely Weird Song

After a few listens this song is growing on me. I wish some of these cool Melvins "one off" songs would make it to albums. I know you guys love those things but since i don't buy vinyl or singles i sort of (rightly or wrongly) tend to dismiss those kind of releases.
I'm pretty confident that this will be released on CD. Its at least on the scion 10 year comp.
Superb track, thats Melvins the way I want em!

Quote from: (PAUL) on May 23, 2013, 05:42:33 PM
Those vocals are great.
Yeah, they are. John Lydon will be proud of him.
A lot of "weird" being thrown around here and there in regards to this track? I donno doesn't sound too "weird" to me ... considering all the other "weird" Melvins have tread into. Quirky perhaps ... weird not so much.
That being said, still a damn nice slab of music ...
So this is 1983? If so really digging the new stuff this line up is churning out the last couple of tunes. Hope we'll hear some more soon.
Yea, this and American Cow are Melvins 83.
As far as other stuff, Waslby said this about it "Just when I thought you couldn't get anymore stupid, you have taken it to the next level" and my stomach hurt from laughing so much.
I would agree with him. I wouldn't call it stupid, but there is some hilarious/ridiculous stuff that was recorded.

Well as I said, hope we hear some more of it ... wasn't over the moon 'bout the '83 stuff thus far ... it was good ... but didn't flip my wig or anything. But these last couple ... especially "American Cow" are pretty damn sweet. So yeah, hope they keep 'em coming.
That being said, don't really get the splitting/naming of all the line ups. I mean guess some people would dig that kind of "advanced warning" 'bout what's in them grooves ... though it seems almost anti Melvins in a sense. I think they should just call it all Melvins regardless of the finer points, like line up ... just to fuck with peoples heads and expectations. Open the shrinkwrap (or in the case of the yoot zip file) and dig it ... or don't bitches.

I replied to ya.
I would guess that the reason that the different Melvins lineups have happened is because it lets them record different styles ( I know, almost any new Melvins record is a different style ). It also helps to keep the $ from record sales going to the right people who have played in that lineup. And, it's the Melvins. Do it differently. And who can complain about 3 different Melvins lineups? People might have their favorites, and some might not care for a certain lineup at all, but it's 3 different variations of a loved band.
First of all, Nothing Wrong with the guitar tone actually.
Second, nothing wrong with having 3 different lineups.
Third, The melvins are calling the shots, and THEY make the Jokes.
someone agrees! the listing is now at $150!
Those Dumb punk kids will buy Anything first of all.
second, I said before and Thus shall be Repeating that;
paying those kinds of prices for limited melvins Merch makes you a winner AND a loser.
wow,i didn't know it was melvins 1983
"No Sir, I don't like it"
Is this a piss take? The guitar and vocals sound terrible.
What exactly is New Wave of British Heavy Metal falsetto? Can someone please name the bands the author is refering to?
It's a good song to be sure.
Here's where IMO it would rank:
1) Dr. Mule
2) Pig Skin/Starve Already
3) Smash the State
4) Paraquat
5) Thank you/ Saved Message
6) Shit Sandwich
Badass.

The song sounds so half-assed. Buzz's whaling doesn't sound good and like someone else said I'm too sick of the tone of that guitar. Sounds like the band are being recorded in one room and Buzz is outside playing it like there is some sort of filter on it. It's got no guts and sounds too tinny.
pretty sure they did it just to piss you off. :buzz:
as they say; Flattery will get you nowhere.
and Its WAILING, not Whaling, ok there moby dick.
stop for a cotton pickin minute and imagine what its like when people critisize you no matter what you do, pretty soon you go out of your way to acheive satisfaction from negative Criticism if its all you ever get.
Im sure that is chapter one in your melvinology 101 textbook.
Wait, I'm not allowed to dislike the song?
Am I not allowed to Dislike your oppinion. :?
What I meant is; part of the core nature of The band is to annoy people with sound.
I think in that sense, its doing a fine job in your case.
thats all I was saying.
i really like the track, vocals and all - although i agree that the guitar sound could do with some "fat".
having also just listened to "in every dream home..." the thought came up that buzz is doing a jello impersonation on the mule vocals. right?

... nothing wrong with having 3 different lineups.
I'm thinking you guys might have misunderstood my gist. I have absolutely zero problem with multiple Melvins line ups tackling multiple different styles and angles ... In fact I think it is a stellar development; and in fact is an idea I proposed on this very board before they themselves (Melvins) even started doing it ... I can dig up the post if need be but too lazy right now ... No, I just don't see the point in actually naming them all something different ... seems contrary to the Melvins heritage of fucking with peoples heads ... of being a somewhat cryptic and closed book ... an inside joke as it were. Seems to cater more to the neophyte, passer by, and casual listener rather than than wild, warped and indoctrinated ... like say when they dropped COD ... they didn't put a sticker on the front saying "This Is A Noise Album". Nope, it just said Melvins. Like I said, just open the shrikwrap and be surprised ... It's all good ... it's all Melvins.

Agreed. It's all gooooood. :D
i find nothing wrong with anything this band has ever done.
maybe 1 song off of houdini but thats it.
Dillard has probably gotten a bit of his Melvins groove back after being out of the band for so long...slowly but surely the Melvinsyness oozes back in.
where are we hearing American Cow?

He might have been out of the band for a while, but he's been drumming the whole time he was gone. The first batch of new songs was very reminiscent of the 83 days, but he has more chops than just straight ahead drumming. He's really good. This last batch of stuff will show that he can do more than boom tap, boom boom tap.
It's hard for anyone to compete with Dale, but I've loved the 1983 output so far.
Damn it's easy to be a Melvins fan.

I agree. While Dillard's style is more straight ahead than Dales he is still a good drummer. I am also loving Dale on bass, especially on "American Cow" The 83 lineup is almost like a cool Melvins super bonus round robin of awesomeness!!! I hope both songs are on that Gaylord 12" cover they posted on facebook tonight! I have a feeling that I will be spending a lot of money at the merch table when I see them in July.

If it's fan art it's a lot of work to make a silkscreen and print it

There's only grain in the cardboard. The artwork on top of it looks completely flat. Even for a scanned image, it looks too clean.
I think it's a digital thing pasted
onto the photo.
And the lines are too round, it looks like vector artwork. HAZE XXL does real linocut.

They are both humdingers, alright. Hey have you ever hummed the melody of Eye Flys in it's entirety?
I keep Running Out of Breath When I do.
