Just wondering what peeps here think of this tribute album from a few years ago, 'We Reach: The Music of the Melvins'?
The liner notes are done by Ipecac's Greg Werckman and it was released on Fractured Transmitter which if memory serves was/is a label started up by a guy from Mushroomhead.

Mastodon-The Bit
Strapping Young Lad-Zodiac
Pig Destroyer-Claude

Isis/Agoraphobic Nosebleed-Boris
Absentee-Revolve
Eyehategod-Easy As It Was
Dog Fashion Disco-Anaconda
Disengage-Raise A Paw
Blessing The Hogs-Hog Leg
CKY/Gnarkill-Laughing With Lucifer At Satan's Sideshow
Maritime Murder-Copache
Made Out Of Babies-Bar-X-the Rocking M
Pincer 2-Echohead/Don't Piece Me
Been a long time since I listened to it and only just remembered I still had this CD so looking forward to giving it a listen again.
I think there are some good covers by good bands on this release.
I like the following covers:
Mare-Nightgoat
The Dillinger Escape Plan-Honey Bucket
Mastodon-The Bit
High On Fire/Keelhaul-Oven
Eyehategod-Easy As It Was
Maritime Murder-Copache
Pincer 2-Echohead/Don't Piece Me
Oh, and the artwork is a cool touch.
i think Eyehategod did a great job,you can tell these guys know how to cover a Melvins song without transforming it in a generic metal song
I really liked the Mastodon, SYL, Isis/AN, Dog Fashion Disco, Blessing The Hogs, Made Out Of Babies covers but thought Absentee's was the best.
I actually enjoyed it, Wish I had a copy actually.
