Thought this deserved its own topic but thats what KB and Mr. Pinkus told me their new album was called at the record rummage sale show in austin last month. Jeff said it was a reference to him and some buddies having only one bud left to smoke then having it turn into fart jokes, something along those lines. Unless they tricked me or someone slipped me something to where I have created a false reality but thats what I was told! Tis the truth!
That's cool! Seems like more of a Pinkus thing, than a Buzzo thing(meaning the title, of course). I can't wait to hear it. And I hope it comes out on CD first, or simultaneously with the vinyl, cassettes, wax cylinders....... :excited: :excited: :excited:

I suppose we're gonna have to ... dude why are you so obsessed with the hot winds of flatulence? I mean I can see being "interested" but it appears you have a much deeper interest than simply being "interested". A strange predilection to be sure ... and while I totally support and endorse your "interest" as it were ... I myself am not nearly as engrossed by the topic. So a shart it is ... and we'll just leave it at that.

No it's not true ... I am living proof.
I know you desperately need find some explanation to account for this freak of nature you call Feltch ... however, I believe the answers you seek lie rather in empirical fact and science ... not superstition, fear, and hysteria. I know I'm getting all agent Scully about things here ... but really Mulder just listen to yourself.

That's the kind of poor planning, where you miss the chance to make it a trilogy. Try this;
1-Hold It In
2-Dude! You got any Pepto?!!
3-Blow It Out Your Ass
Now can't you see those same 4 guys in the classifieds thread drooling over the letterpress of that?
B Sides could be "Pull my finger"
pretty sure 'Hold It In' is a greens reference ... so why we always talking 'bout browns in here? Gayfro you scat bastard get your mind outta the bunghole dude ... it's too warm and ripe in there ...
so yeah, let's talk greens ... B Sides could be 'Hot Box'
Hey man, have you ever been like so high, that you take a dump and forget to wipe, and like don't realize it till a few minutes later when you sit down? :D

http://blogs.seattletimes.com/soundposts/2014/06/17/buzz-osborne-of-the-melvins-unplugged-concert-preview/ (http://blogs.seattletimes.com/soundposts/2014/06/17/buzz-osborne-of-the-melvins-unplugged-concert-preview/)
This was on the front page of Melvins.net, spring of 2013.
Jeff Pinkus of the Butthole Surfers & Honky spoke to the Austin Chronicle about his recent collaboration with the Melvins and their soon to be released EP entitled 'PINKUS':
In December, Melvins drummer Dale Crover performed with Honky, the local trio led by the Surfers' favored bassist Jeff Pinkus. Not long afterward, he met with Crover and Melvins singer/guitarist Buzz Osborne in L.A. for some writing and recording. The session, engineered by Big Business/Melvins wingman Toshi Kasai, yielded four songs, two written and sung by Pinkus. Titled "Pist Pistoferson" and "AM Radio Head," they reined the sludge vets into Pinkus' world of "big stupid rock songs." The other two tunes, penned by Osborne, utilize the cryptic tunings and oozing riffage that remain distinctly Melvins. "My songwriting is so much more structured than theirs," laughs Pinkus. "I write in a rock way whereas Buzz comes up with riffs so intricate that we'd have to remind ourselves what we did last practice. That's probably why they want me as a bass player, because I can remember his parts when he can't!" Pinkus and Osborne even did a little role reversal, switching off guitar and bass duties on one song. The EP, titled Pinkus, comes out on AmRep this spring.

Jeff Pinkus of the Butthole Surfers & Honky spoke to the Austin Chronicle about his recent collaboration with the Melvins and their soon to be released EP entitled 'PINKUS':
In December, Melvins drummer Dale Crover performed with Honky, the local trio led by the Surfers' favored bassist Jeff Pinkus. Not long afterward, he met with Crover and Melvins singer/guitarist Buzz Osborne in L.A. for some writing and recording. The session, engineered by Big Business/Melvins wingman Toshi Kasai, yielded four songs, two written and sung by Pinkus. Titled "Pist Pistoferson" and "AM Radio Head," they reined the sludge vets into Pinkus' world of "big stupid rock songs." The other two tunes, penned by Osborne, utilize the cryptic tunings and oozing riffage that remain distinctly Melvins. "My songwriting is so much more structured than theirs," laughs Pinkus. "I write in a rock way whereas Buzz comes up with riffs so intricate that we'd have to remind ourselves what we did last practice. That's probably why they want me as a bass player, because I can remember his parts when he can't!" Pinkus and Osborne even did a little role reversal, switching off guitar and bass duties on one song. The EP, titled Pinkus, comes out on AmRep this spring. Many of the label's releases are in quantities of 700 and sell out quickly. "The Melvins put out so much stuff that this will be only a brief blurb in the timeline of their releases," reflects Pinkus.

thank you for finding that article!!!
you're welcome
Maybe the Pinkus EP got scrapped? Not that I wouldn't welcome an album with Pinkus but I'm ready for more Big Biz. We need answers, now!

Yeah. I was obsessed with it. I researched it and found something from AmRep that said that it would not be released by them, anytime soon. I suppose that there has been a lot of confusion on this one, since it was announced. Maybe by design. :-k :-k ](*,)

Whem i saw the Moistboyz in Dec, Steven Hass was playing guitar. Having drinks with the band at the hotel bar he noticed my Melvins shirt and started tell me how he lives in TX and has the studio and Buzz was down there recording with Pinkus, Paul Leary , Claude Colman jr, Curt Kirkwood. He said a lot of the stuff was Buzz' and Paul, about half and half. He told me that it should be coming out as a Melvins album from what he was told. He would have let me hear some but his phone had died! He was very very excited to be a part of it.

Whem i saw the Moistboyz in Dec, Steven Hass was playing guitar. Having drinks with the band at the hotel bar he noticed my Melvins shirt and started tell me how he lives in TX and has the studio and Buzz was down there recording with Pinkus, Paul Leary , Claude Colman jr, Curt Kirkwood. He said a lot of the stuff was Buzz' and Paul, about half and half. He told me that it should be coming out as a Melvins album from what he was told. He would have let me hear some but his phone had died! He was very very excited to be a part of it.

The Melvins '51 States in 51 Days' Tour Diary, Days 11, 12 & 13: They Almost Get Stabbed!
September 18 2012, 4:58 PM ET
by Trevor Dunn
September 15, 2012 – Omaha, NE – The Waiting Room
September 16, 2012 – Des Moines, IA – Wooly's
September 17, 2012 – Sioux Falls, SD – The Vault
13 down, 38 to go
The stretch of road between Denver and Lawrence, Kansas, spans a tireless, vast, empty 562 miles. It's the kind of road that makes you wonder why people complain about overpopulation and urban density or lack of space for landfill. If you want to go somewhere in the U.S. where there is little to do or see, and you have the place to yourself, there are plenty of options. All you have to do is accept the nothingness. As long as you're ok with having no friends and eating garbage, you will have all the personal space you need.
We are traveling in a van, not a bus, so personal space is limited. It's comfortable enough, has a good stereo, air conditioning and even wi-fi. One thing is does not have is a toilet. After loading up on coffee first thing in the
morning, you can count on several pee stops. Of course, we are a van full of dudes. We can pee anywhere, and we do. My pee is no less disgusting than a dog's so I'm going to take the liberty of watering trees, fire hydrants, or the tires of the opening band's vehicle whenever the urge strikes. But sometimes you gotta go number two and in that situation a vacant lot behind a liquor store is just not gonna cut the cake.
Somewhere along the drive to Lawrence, Dave, our tour manager/soundguy, found himself in a dire situation. There wasn't a gas station for miles and he was...Well, he was prairie doggin'. You know, crowning. He had some cable laying to attend to, post haste. Time was running out and none of us wanted to be subject to poopy pants in the limited quarters of the van. I was trying to enjoy my Hot Pocket and chocolate milk for cryin' out loud. Eventually, we came across a very sad, remote truck stop. By this time everyone needed the can, but unfortunately, the urinal was out of order. Only one toilet was available, so we waited our turns while loitering around the convenience store eyeing dusty boxes of cereal and bubblegum that had somehow passed their expiration dates.
Now I know we aren't a bunch of preened pretty boys in business suits, but we're a trustworthy bunch, or usually are I should say. Brian, our merch guy, decided he'd had enough and went for the unoccupied women's restroom. (There wasn't a female within 30 miles of this joint, and I don't blame them. It looked like a prime hangout for rapists and child molesters). Just as Brian had his hand on the doorknob, urine threatening to make it's escape, the bleary-eyed, half-dead clerk jumped to attention and pulled a knife, yelling at the top of his lungs in some unidentifiable accent, "You no allow, you no allow, NO NO NO NO NO."
A chaotic scene developed at which time Dale snuck into the women's room. Dave was still in the can exorcising the evil that Cracker Barrel had bewitched upon him. I was ready to bust a valve myself, so I opened up the beer cooler and peed on the Bud Lite. In the meantime Buzz was shoving packets of beef jerky and Skittles into his pockets. Brian was, at this point, backed into a corner by the maniacal clerk. The two were yelling at each other as Brian tried to inch his way to the front door. That's when I heard a scream from the toilet, "There's no fucking toilet paper in here!" Cliff, our stage guy, who had been rolling blunts in the van, walked into the milieu and then slowly walked out. Right then the clerk seemed to half-faint and slumped up against the wall which was decorated with posters of locals who had been arrested for various crimes most of which involved meth and domestic violence.
I'm not sure if those guys found any toilet paper 'cause I got the hell out of there and back in the van, but not before I saw a pack of unruly teenagers walk in. We high-tailed it out of there and left it in their hands. Buzz passed around some Skittles and we drove the rest of the way in complete silence...
It was only a couple of nondescript days later that we found ourselves in the bustling hubbub of Sioux Falls, South Dakota. I walked from the venue to a mall to mail some postcards. The mall had four open businesses: a wedding center, a tuxedo shop, a baby boutique and a pharmacy. I could only assume that the streets were empty because it was 6 p.m. on a Monday night and all of the picture perfect, functional families were preparing supper in their dream homes. I walked back to the venue and slammed four shots of tequila.

Could be! All I remember is jeff pinkus told me a story about him and a buddy and buzzo ran out of weed and had only one bud left so they joked about holding it in which in turn turned into fart jokes. This was probably during the recording of the album for sure, buzzo didnt partake in the smoking btw I asked haha. But the rest of my conversation is a bit fuzzy jeff talked to me a lot which was awesome. He also told me a funny incident with king buzzo and what he thought was water

Maybe the Pinkus EP got scrapped? Not that I wouldn't welcome an album with Pinkus but I'm ready for more Big Biz. We need answers, now!
The Pinkus ep got stretched out to a full length. Magic 8 ball says about the center of October.

Sorry, thought you could view it:
The new album was mastered yesterday, I think it will be out in October. This is the one Pinkus and I are on.
Awesome!
Did you play guitar on the album, Fort?
Along with the great Buzz, yes. Had to do something.. Even "sang" a bit.
Fortbowler is the handle Leary uses on the board. The question was from someone else and his reply below that.
thank you linoleum
Buzz from the tour diary fred:
QuoteI went back to the van and spent the next hour until show time listening to mixes of the new Melvins album. I'm very pleased with it and it's sure to surprise a lot of people.

you're probably right. I always wanted to see david join melvins and big business on stage. That would be explosive. Hell it doesnt matter I just hope some form of the melvins rolls through texas soon! Im taking it that Hold It In is going to be a pretty different kind of album like buzz has stated, its practically a melvins/butthole surfers album, or a melvins album with heavy undertones of butthole surfers... I dont know! The suspense is killing me I want to hear it already! It will be exciting to hear what pinkus and leary bring to the table
i smell this is going to be pure straight rock,which would be great! ZZTop vibe

The only time I've seen DSS on stage with the Melvins was right after Kevin was kicked out of the band and DSS was filling in on Bass (and solo Electric wire). After that I heard (only rumors of course) he and Buzz had some sort of falling out.

We need to ask buzz about this in the next AMA.
I saw DSS on the 2x4 tour, they made him take a shot of tequila before they started playing the song Tequila. That was an interesting tour, lots of good songs played but the second set was a lot of medleys and incomplete songs that I wasn't as big of a fan of, for instance they played the intro and ending to Night Goat but none of the middle part of the song, so it was like a big cock tease. The 2001 tour though (which I unfortunately didn't get to see) from the boots I've heard was AMAZING.

I've heard from a reliable source (someone who played w. 'em both) that it's no rumor ... that was a few years back ... maybe they patched things up ... then again maybe not.
Yeah, DSS on second guitar on the 2x4 tour was cool and he played bass on the Jelvins tour in 2005.

the recording is only half the melvins and two fifths of the butthole surfers. they seems really happy with it and it is over 56 mins of music!
Definitely anticipating this record! I can't hold THAT in any longer!
Oh, and October tour on the horizon too! I'm hopin' it comes close...

QuoteLOS ANGELES, July 29, 2014 -The Melvins return with Hold It In, their first studio album as a quartet since 2010's The Bride Screams Murder, on Oct. 14.
Joining Buzz Osborne and Dale Crover for the 12-song outing are Butthole Surfers' guitar player Paul Leary and bass player JD Pinkus. Hold It In was recorded in both Los Angeles and Austin earlier this year.
"Hold It In is a refreshing piece of fiction in a boring world of fact and bullsh*t," said Osborne. "Paul is one of the best guitar players I have ever heard and Pinkus has an outside the box type of approach to both guitar and bass that you just have to let it ride. I can't believe this actually happened. I'm thrilled."
"It's very rare you get a chance to work with three folks from the 'Break A Wish' foundation, all at the same time," said Pinkus. "I believe they'll remember their experience with me forever (or until they finally all lose their fight with S.I.D.S)."
The Melvins kick off a round of U.S. tour dates on Oct. 15 in Sacramento at Assembly, which also includes a performance at this year's Voodoo Experience in New Orleans. Osborne, Crover and Pinkus will be the touring roster for this run of dates.

Been stuck in ecu-land and did not get this fantastic news with me, before it flashed on the main-page of this fine site. One word:
YES!!!!!!!!!!
And the line up looks amazing, an extra guitar player will add something extra, like it always did for for excample Sonic Youth. Can`t wait!
two or more guitars then? this will be interesting. I want to hear something from it now.
hold it in eh? alrighty!
I want to hear a cacaphony of guitars!
I heard, and might not get this totally right, but Paul had asked Buzz what the band was going to be called and Buzz told him a Melvins, and Paul got excited he could tell his friends he is/was in the Melvins.
It would be special if Paul would tour with them, but not likely to happen, he is a busy man.
a paul leary guitar solo is a modern art masterpiece.

Yep, touring lineup is Buzz/Dale/Pinkus.
Can I assist you with the first part of your question? :lol:
Good to have you back, Satch! 8)
no doubt
getting settled in to the new place
gearing up for melvins!
Once again Buzz proves he is the hardest working man in show business.
Ends his solo tour on Sept. 21 starts touring again on Oct. 15th...a whole 3 weeks off (in which time he will probably write the next 3 Melvins albums).
God bless him!

If you do stuff you like, it`s no work in the litterary meaning of the word. Although I believe that Buzz & other musicians can feel that it can become a bit repetetive, they only have to do this repetiveness for 11/2 hours per gig. Of course there is a bit routine being on the road aswell, but some like that and thankfully Buzz and Dale are built robust so they can handle it. And it`s not like they are on tour 12 months in a row, 2 months out of 12 is something any musician should handle. The fact that Buzz tours month after month like he does now, is anyhow a proof that he likes this more than most musicians. The fact that they stay off drugs is also a key factor I guess.
That`s my fanboy 2 cents thoughts on that matter. Hail Melvins!

I heard, and might not get this totally right, but Paul had asked Buzz what the band was going to be called and Buzz told him a Melvins, and Paul got excited he could tell his friends he is/was in the Melvins.
It would be special if Paul would tour with them, but not likely to happen, he is a busy man.
Ha! That's pretty cool. I love that goofball!

I remember in an interview, Jim Heath ( the Reverend Horton Heat) was asked about the difference between having Gibby Haynes and Paul Leary produce their albums. The interviewer had assumed that Gibby was the crazier one (I think most people would assume that). He said that Gibby is crazy, but Paul is insane. He said you couldn't believe how twisted Paul was. That's all I remember.

I totally believe it. He wrote some of the most fucked BS stuff, plus anybody that plays the guitar like he does has to be insane. In an insanely good way.
Nothing like Paul pulling off a solo, eyes crossed, drooling, about to fall down.
Buzz said his weed intake was insane while they were recording that Buzz would have died if he ever smoked that much, but there is Paul nonchalantly working away. Pinkus and I just laughed.

I always figured weed was a great incentive to get to work...at least for poor people without the work (money) there is no weed.

! I guess thats who jeff was talking about when he said him and a buddy ran out of weed and came up with hold it in. God I feel retarded now lol. All the pieces are coming together!!! Maybe paul will play the Texas dates this fall?! :o god I hope so
Even if he doesn't I'm sure he schooled Buzz on his retardo riffs and cough syrup abusing styled leads!
The Hold It In reference, goes back to the old Butthole days. The 5 of them would be in the van with the last bud they had. So when they smoked they would yell at each other to hold it in (till they alomost passed out).
So when they would smoke with people it became a habit and they would be holding their breath a really long time and people would be like...what are y'all doing...and they be like holding it in.
Funny 25 close to 30 years later i becomes an album title.
Funny. I read up on the Butthole Surfers on Wikipedia, when they announced last summer that they were touring with Pinkus. There were multiple references to them living in a van, in or near Dallas.

meh. what the hell do pressmen know about rock and roll?
Cue Hold It In, which is the best original recording the boys have dropped since 2010's The Bride Screamed Murder. I have no desire to quibble over the merits of the last few Melvins releases. I found them boring. To me the band works best when they're strike the perfect combination of having fun and not trying too hard. Freak Puke had moments, but too few of them. Tres Cabrones was essentially a collection of old material, most of which wasn't that good. Hold It In is a different beast, it's one of those albums where the Melvins are the Melvins and everything clicks.
Tres Cabrones was essentially a collection of old material?!!
Five out of 12 tracks? Three of which were 1 minute long?

What, from just a few snippets!!??! Going by what we can hear it sounds like a typical Melvins album to me. Some ballsy rockers, some goofy tunes and a sprinkling of odd noise moments. Although i find these sample things always give a false impression when you hear the actual full songs.

i say that about every Melvins album upon my first bit of listening :D
The samples seem to not ever give too much away but a decent taste. These so far sound like ripping rockers, heavy sludge and some spacey and goofyness mixed in. I have been loving the more rock songs Byuzz has been doing the past few years like the song "Freak Puke".

Very catchy vocal melodies on Brass Cupcake. It sounds like the first half of the song is in standard tuning, while the ending is in drop D.
Really looking forward to this..

So I'm listening to "Brass Cupcake" now. Very cool. Almost sounds like it could have been a Tres Cabrones track.
Giving this track a listen now. I was thinking it could be on Nude With Boots as far as hearing the first half personally til' Leary's vocals kick in and go ballistic. I like the poppy/heavy transitions on this and the second half is like stepping into a drug nightmare.
Definitely anticipating hearing the rest of this album!
'Eyes On You' sounds pretty great ...

(ahem) moving right along, then. 8)

Brass Cupcake:
http://www.rollingstone.com/music/premieres/hear-melvins-brass-cupcake-from-butthole-surfers-collabo-lp-hold-it-in-20140822
I love Leary's vocals...reminiscent of The Shah Sleeps in Lee Harvey's Grave
How does one listen to that? I clicked on the 'listen now' button, but it no do anything. :?:
Never mind, found it here:

FUCK! It's gone now! I wanna hear it dammit!
Well shit, it's not working on either site. Hopefully its just an issue with sound cloud and it goes back up soon.
I've been putting the 7digital samples on shuffle.
I'm seriously considering putting that on a cassette!
Fer Shizzle! :shock:
Brass Cupcake was up on I-tunes yesterday as well for a pre order (but I did not get a changer to pre order yesterday) but now it is bride of crankenstein available???
The Paul Leary guitar heroics in You Can Make Me Wait!
Worth the price of admission! =P~
I couldnt get the soundcloud brass cupcake to play either, but all of the snippets sound really solid and theres a lot righteous riffs being thrown around. I was bummed when piss pisstopherson cut off, it was getting into some good territory. I'd say house of gasoline was my favorite of the clips and I'm interested to hear what happens with it over a 12 minute play. But it looks like those melvins have done it yet again I tell ya. Seems to be mixed reviews here and elsewhere but mostly in regards to the brass cupcake joint. I didn't know what to expect from Dale's comment that:
"It's our version of what we think pop music should sound like. Get ready to freak out!"
Someone lemme know if the SoundCloud stream or a different source is up again. I was thinking it had to do with using the mobile site, cuz I've had problems with that before when trying to stream new joints on rollingstone but in those instances I don't recal SoundCloud being embedded for the stream.

Uhhhhh.....
I think this is my new favorite song ever. Holee crap! I love it.
The more I listen to Brass Cupcake the more I love, love, LOVE it! It kind of reminds me of something off Nude With Boots, maybe Billy Fish, combined with one of the poppier Butthole Surfers songs, like Hey.
And I can't say this enough, it's awesome hearing Paul Leary screaming again! It's about time a collaboration between two of the best bands on the planet happened! :D :cheers: :toke:

When did he make the switch from plinking along with a plectrum to
FINGER PICKIN' SPEED DEMON?!! :twisted:
P!nkus is only 45! Don't age him.
He started the finger picking long ago when he started Honky.
He started in the Butts in 86 when he was 17.
Paul is the pop song god! If you listen to the Butts they really are very poppy overall.
I've been crankin' Independent Work Saloon & Electriclarryland lately.
Just for my buddy, MA. He loves their stuff from the nineties! :P

It's such a great song!!! To me it's one of those songs where I want to start singing along the first time I heard it without even knowing the lyrics. It really is going to be probably one of my favorite songs ever. I've only listened to both tracks once and I'd rather wait to listen again until it's the whole album, but man am I excited!

Quote from: meezer on August 28, 2014, 08:19:32 AM
Brass Cupcake-the one minute sample features the goofy part of the song, of course. Hearing the whole track, it all gets into proper context. More Buttholevins than Melsurfers.
Bride Of Crankenstein-makes sense that a hybrid of the bands would sound this much like
Steel Pole Bath Tub. I love it!
Reminds me of this one
http://youtu.be/WKWHs3BGlsA (http://youtu.be/WKWHs3BGlsA)
...and this one...
http://youtu.be/oaBsTGItVz8 (http://youtu.be/oaBsTGItVz8)
"Both those guys have such great instincts for songs – Paul brought in three really great songs, I did three or four and Pinkus did a couple. It's the first time I've not written the vast majority on an album myself."
I bet that 'You Can Make Me Wait', 'Eyes On You', 'Nine Yards', 'I Get Along' and 'Piss Pisstopherson' were some of the songs not written by Buzz.
The Golden Age of Butts. This is by far my most watched video on YouTube:

http://www.7digital.com/artist/melvins/release/hold-it-in (http://www.7digital.com/artist/melvins/release/hold-it-in)
Going by the clips, the song that intrigues me most from this album is The Bunk Up. It sounds good and at 7 minutes long im interested to see if it continues like that throughout. I bet it has a few changes in it though.
I'm gonna keep my ears fresh until this is out.
Which will also entail avoiding this here thread from now on, since all your words about specific elements of the record make it bloody hard to resist the teasers.

I'm really digging Bride Of Crankenstein and Brass Cupcake! The guitar tone is great. Maybe that's due to the addition of Paul in the mix.

I think this is going to be a 10" with a few songs on it, I don't think House of Gasoline is going to fit on the Ipecac vinyl so it'll be exclusive to this. Supposedly the ipecac vinyl is coming out the same day as the CD.

That's great news on both accounts. I imagine House of Gasoline will get it's own side since it's over 12 min :D I hope Ipecac does something cool with the vinyl. I liked the Buzzo LP they did, the labels were snazzy but I'd like to see some color vinyl up in the mix too. They did for Palms dammit! :lol:

Haha nice. I do hope they add some New England dates to the tour as I'd really like to see them. A good friend's wedding got in the way of me being able to see Buzz this summer and it was only 40 mins from my house.
@Meezer and Capt. Howdy- How did Amazon screw you over last time? Just curious, I never buy from them but did this time because they have a 2 day shipping thing that says I will get it on the release date.
I pre-ordered an album, under the impression that it would be charged to my account the day I ordered. I had ordered quite a bit. Checked my account about a week later and all was good, had enough money to last the week. Then BOOM amazon puts the charge on my card and I'm over drafted. Apparently when you pre-order they charge you the day it ships, NOT the day you order it. Stupid if you ask me. I have no crystal ball that will tell me if I'll have enough money in my account when they decide to ship.
Everywhere else I've pre-ordered I get charged the day I place my order. I just don't understand their logic.
Ahh I see that sucks man. I recently pre ordered Royal Blood through Warner Brothers. I ordered a month before the release and they didn't even ship it to me until the day after the release date. Don't people understand the folks that pre order are doing so to be the first ones to get the album?
I'm a Dumbass. Talking about sperm and food, like that. :x
no problems with Amazon on my end. Well it would be nice & secure if the kindle could be logged off from anything. Grrr! :x

Bride Of Crankenstein and House of Gasoline are definitely going to be on it from what I've heard. Probably another track or two off Hold It In im guessing. (House Of Gasoline did not fit on the Ipecac vinyl)
Butthole-melvins eh...Is that what I am to understand here wit dis album, still havent spun this.
:mrgreen:
but I like the fact that it doesnt rape any cred from the butthole crowd, or does...it. :? I havent heard it, cant remember what youse guys said about it, probly not going to read back the last pages again, Dont reminds me...I will buy the album and gets it.
nevermind then.

He really is. When he played with 'em on the last tour I felt he brought back that intimidating factor that I always loved about the Melvins live but seems to have diminished over the years. His scream in Night Goat alone was scary! :lol:

yes.
I order every melvins, they deserve it.
I will, in a week or so. Cash flow is tight, due to all the truckloads
of other Melvins stuff I've been buying in the last two months.
I also got both Le Butcherettes CDs, so I'll know wtf they're playing.
Remember to order from the link on melvins.net.
Helps pay the bills. :nerd:
I'll wait, I have several CDs to order so maybe for xmas.

I just preordered the Japanese version from CD Japan; never had any problems in the past. I choose the second-cheapest postage option ("Air Mail") and they usually arrive within five days of release date.
Stallion, are you sure the culprit was amazon and not the italian post office? I have bought stuff from amazon in the past and never had a problem.

"Eyes On You."
LEARY: I usually keep the TV turned on in my studio, and one day there was something on the news about surveillance. I had my guitar plugged in recording at the time and the words just started coming out of my mouth.
is there a japanese bonus track or something?
Thanks Meezer. One of the more catchier songs I've heard.
Damn, "Eyes On You" was also left off the vinyl. Hopefully that makes the Bride Of Crankenstein 10". At least the LP is going to come with a download card so I will have all the songs that way. I am super excited for this album. The only track I've listened to more than 10 seconds of is Bride...so it will be a fresh listen. :D

The problem is amazon.co.uk ALWAYS put back the release date until after they know how many to order. They've just done it again:
Unfortunately, the release date for the item(s) listed below was changed by the supplier, and we need to provide you with a new estimated delivery date based on the new release date:
Melvins "Hold It In [VINYL]"
Estimated arrival date: October 23 2014 - October 25 2014
what jules said is my main problem with Amazon
the matter of fact is i got both Tres Cabrones and the Buzzo acoustic album in the mail one month later than what i expected
oh, fuck that then.

I love it when the Melvins are throwing us curve-balls.

I love it because of all the hate and whining on the Melvins Facebook group.
Boo hoo! Why don't they just remake Bullhead for the rest of everybody's lives?!!! :cry:

Never the same album twice, and they are always great. This is what makes Melvins greatest of all time..

Stallion, are you sure the culprit was amazon and not the italian post office? I have bought stuff from amazon in the past and never had a problem.
The problem is amazon.co.uk ALWAYS put back the release date until after they know how many to order. They've just done it again:
Unfortunately, the release date for the item(s) listed below was changed by the supplier, and we need to provide you with a new estimated delivery date based on the new release date:
Melvins "Hold It In [VINYL]"
Estimated arrival date: October 23 2014 - October 25 2014
Predictably, just got the same email from Amazon.co.uk putting back the
CD version I ordered to the same dates. You gets what you pay for, I guess. Amazon is cheap but you have to play by their rules.

. What's going on? First off I love kiss, but there is only one space man and that is space ace... Who is doing the kiss forum? And what ever happened to Glen, and Uncle Fester?
I'm not a big Kiss fan, but I always thought it was weird they would add new members to the band and have them take on the persona of previous members when it would be just as easy to come up with new Kiss personas and adjust the makeup slightly. Not really rocket science.

mmmm too bad, I never pre-order anything (with the Hard-Ons/Melvins split being my only exception) so I didn't know, besides, it's been years since the last time I bought a CD from amazon.co.uk.
On a totally different matter, I can't listen to the streaming... damn it!

No you didn't, you were holding it in.
Hold It In vinyl, £12.99 inclusive of postage (UK), seems reasonable.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hold-It-In-Melvins-VINYL-LP-14-10-14-/390937785922?pt=UK_Records&hash=item5b05b53642
Heard half of the album amd saved the rest for another to not spoil it all. Its really amazing, there is such good energy on the album, I love the song you can make me wait I'd reccomend you all give that one a couple listens. No doubt this will be a great tour but this one seems like it will kick some extra ass. Cant wait for the 30th!!!!!
It's on Google Music All Access.
Some songs sound so pure Melvins its ridiculously good - other parts sound like a band trying to sound like Melvins (whatever that is). :lol:
Solid so far, but I have to listen to it more. It's good.
Edit: It's a very fun listen too. It seems like they haven't had this much fun recording since Stag or HAT! This music will never date.
You can tell the Pinkus and leary songs too. I had a feeling Pist Pistofferson was a Pinkus song by the name. I forgot the name, but one of them you can kind of tell Buzz played bass. I remember Pinkus telling me they switched when they orginally recored the first four songs that were going to be the EP, so glab it became a 12 song full album.
After listening to this a handful of times, I hope they record with this line-up again.
Fun record.

I ordered it when it was $11.99.
Just checked, they adjusted it to $10.00.
I have the Prime, btw. If that matters....

Yes, same deal but they changed the price. I joined Amazon prime mainly because of the promise "Guaranteed to get it by the release date" In my estimation that means they would have to have mailed it yesterday but we will see. I have another release that comes out Tuesday...same deal. We shall see Amazon we shall see...

Is it going to be in stores tomorrow? 2nd Avenue Records is a 5 minute walk from my office.
I just spoke with Resident Records (Brighton, UK) who should have had the vinyl and CD in today or tomorrow. They told me both have been put back 'a week' and both will be in stock 21st October, £9.99 the CD and £18.99 the LP.
I've cancelled my Amazon order for both of them. I'll buy the CD from the shop next week and I'll get the LP from here (doesn't matter how long it takes for the LP, it's cheaper than anywhere alse I've seen and with free postage) :

I just contacted this eBay seller and they told me it should have arrived today but it hasn't, with no word from their supplier. He'll email me when he knows what's going on. This is jolly exciting.

I'm pretty sure that's Krist Novocelic playing accordion on The Bunk Up.
And Curt Kirjwood on I get along
This album is fucking stellar. I was pretty high when I listened to it but I doubt that'll change my opinion of it when I listen again. I have a feeling this album is going to be my driving soundtrack for the Winter. It's one of the most fucked, twisted, immense and psychedelic Melvins ever. I haven't been this taken aback since H.A.T. came out. This album really drives home the fact that the Melvins are truly peerless.

I saw him, or someone who was in both bands, in an interview on Paladia.
Seemed like an ok dude, but I can't deal with that cock rock Stone Sour
or the minor league Gwar that is Slipknot.
I can't remember the one that Buzz reviewed.
Oh yeah. Stooges. That was enjoyable.
And Lou Barlow reviewed Black Sabbath 13.

Once that song came on I thought "This has got Pinkus all over it." also Piss Pisstopherson. I really think this is hands down the strongest line up since they had Kevin (don't get me wrong I love all Melvins). The musicianship on this album hasn't been matched since Stag or H.A.T.. I really hope this isn't a one off. I mean Paul and Buzz's playing on here is dare I say like peanut butter and chocolate? Yes I do dare!

Just called and they have the cd available but no vinyl. On my way!
20 mins after I came home from work my CD arrived along with a brand new discman that I purchased for the occasion. I plugged in my new Audio Technica M50 headphones. :D
Now up until today I had only heard Bride Of Crankenstein. I just finished listening to the CD all the way through and all I can say is Holy Fuck!!! Melvins done did it again and went and blew my mind. I can't even describe this album as it's all over the fucking place. I almost find it somewhat similar to Stag in the way it starts with a killer bone crushing heavy song then proceeds to go a million places and be totally fucking crazy. I can hear Leary's contributions and they are much appreciated. I also love Pinkus's vocals and contributions as well. I wonder if they planned this album before or after the tour where he filled in for Jarrod? Either way I am so glad this album happened and need another 5-10 listens before I can even start to wrap my head around this whole thing. I hope they add more tour dates and come to New England. I'd love to see them as a trio.
I'm holdin' out for vinyl so I'll have to make do with Spotify till then.
Does the CD come in a digipak packaging? I just did a small research on eBay and there's only one seller showing actual photos and apparently it's like This Machine Kills Artists.

Same exact size and packaging.
Not sure I even want to speculate what Eyes On You was written about. Like the album! On my 4th listen right now!

Recycled riff alert! Onions Make The Milk Taste Bad contains elements of something from BSM.
Now I'm thinking it's the intro from The Water Glass mashed up with Evil New War God.

Open the booklet in the CD. We finally get a peek at where the "Hold It In" Saga concludes! :shock:
Nine songs credited to King Buzzo, JD Pinkus and Dale Crover *
*except Eyes On You
You Can Make Me Wait
I Get Along (Hollow Moon)

via Spotify
I streamed a digi late last night with ATTACK OF THE GIANT LEECHES on mute in the background.
Too soon for a review or rating but I will say I had to pause it more than a few times just to absorb everything I was taking in. It was glorious.
(http://bmoviemaniacs.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/attack-of-the-giant-leeches.jpg)
I'm on my 4th run through. I keep hearing new things each time.
Someone earlier in the thread made a rough comparison to Stag because of it's all over the place nature. Well coincidentally this the most excited I've been about hearing a new Melvins album since Stag came out.
Quote from: Pound4abrown on October 10, 2014, 07:58:56 AM
After listening to this a handful of times, I hope they record with this line-up again.
Fun record.
Eyes On You
The Bunk Up
I Get Along (Hollow Moon)
House Of Gasoline
are my current stand outs.
After about 15 or so more spins I think I need to add
Onions Make The Milk Taste Bad
Brass Cupcake > Barcelonian Horseshoe Pit
Sesame Street Meat
Piss Pisstopherson
This one didn't hit me as quickly as Freak Puke but I liked it instantly better than my first few listens to Tres Cobrones.
Really great album.
Much like Melvins (Lite) I hope to hear more from this version of the band.
i LOVE this album. i expected to, but MAN, it's fucking GOOD.
i'm happy that other people are comparing it to STAG-- i thought the same thing. in my opinion, it's easily the "weirdest" album they've done since then (discounting COD) ... but shit, with pinkus and leary, how could it not be weird? and, as strange as some of it (most of it) may be, i feel like it also has some of their most accessible songs, dare i say "radio friendly."
really great record. better than some of the more recent stuff, even.
here's hoping i can score the "bride" 10" before the LP release... it'd be weird having one and not the other..
i wish they were touring new england :(
I get a strong POTRE vibe for 9min during Barcelonian Horseshoe Pit and Onions Make the Milk Taste Bad.
I also love how the three songs Paul Leary wrote (You Can Make Me Wait, Eyes on You, and I Get Along) sound like they could have been Butthole Surfers songs. Try listening to all three of those in a row and tell me it doesn't sound like it could have been a Butthole Surfers EP! It gives me a lot of faith that if they ever decide to write another album it will be pretty damn good.
This is another excellent Melvins album. 8)
December ? WTF ?

Yes I made that comment...for me I would say this is the most excited I have been about a new Melvins album since Hostile Ambient Takeover came out.
I don't think I linked this, but here's my review if anyone wanted to check it out. I've been super busy so I wrote it in about an hour after only a couple listens. But this is what I got:
http://targetaudiencemagazine.com/cd-review-hold-melvins/ (http://targetaudiencemagazine.com/cd-review-hold-melvins/)
Here is what is passing for an NME "review"
7 / 10 It can be a little hard to reconcile one's admiration for the Melvins – three decades old as a band – with the fact that they haven't made a consistently great album since 2006's '(A) Senile Animal'. They normally strike a few bullseyes per record though, and so it is with 'Hold It In', which finds stalwart Melvins Buzz Osborne and Dale Crover joined by Butthole Surfers members Paul Leary and JD Pinkus. Sometimes it's poppier than textbook Melvins ('I Get Along (Hollow Moon)'), sometimes noisier and more freeform ('Barcelonian Horseshoe Pit'), but there's ample helpings of the Pacific Northwestern weirdo-sludge that their fans adore them for, 'Piss Pisstopherson' and 'Sesame Street Meat' two finely-titled examples.

:bs:
Allmusic gave the latest Melvins album their usual 7/10 rating as well. I'm pretty sure they could put any combination on notes of the album at this point and it'll never score any higher.
Yeah but it's like what's not being played maaaaan. Like, the space between notes daddy-o.

I haven't heard the record yet. Amazon says it'll hopefully arrive on the 18th. I'm going to try to hold off listening to it until then.
Bear with me here cause I'm pretty stoned, but man I haven't been THIS taken aback by an album in quite awhile. The first three songs, the trifecta. Each one of those songs evoke strong emotion in me. It's intense. Especially You Can Make Me Wait and Brass Cupcake but still the Bride Of Crankenstien really does too. "Berthas" was always my go to feel good song. Now it's Brass Cupcake. Then Barcelona is when just drugs REALLY kick in and there's MORE!!! I haven't listened enough to get to know it like a whole piece yet. So it just keeps getting better and better after every listen. By next week it'll be Nine Yards I'll be rambling' all stoned about.

Thats awesome, I haven't heard too much of it all yet but so far I'm loving sesame street meat and you can make me wait, as thats all I've heard so far. I cant wait for the 30th I'm holding off reading any set lists posted or seeing any videos. I wanna hear brass cupcake now after what you said especially if it took over berthas for you!
Brass Cupcake has been receiving some harsh treatment on Facebook.
I zoned out the first couple of times I heard it, but every listen since then, I love it a little more.
I listened to fm radio on the way home from work tonight.
Do people not realize how horrible non-Melvins music has gotten lately?
Don't they understand this golden age of Melvins that we're living in, right now? [-X
What's the deal with the fadeout at the end of Onion? Strangest end to a Melvins song. EVER! :lol:
Agreed, Meezer. I haven't listened to the radio in almost 10 years now. I'd buy the guy who invented mp3s a round for sure.
Although last time i heard it was in '06 when they had Patton in the studio on Triple JJJ. They played a song from Suspended Animation, it was hilarious because they gave a warning to the audience that the song was going to be weird like as in a forward apology.
Brass Cupcake is a boss. It's an instant classic like Queen/Revolve.
You can make me wait makes me feel great. I love it!!
Here's my review. I really, really liked this one. As good as bulls and bees if you ask me.
http://www.punknews.org/review/12944/the-melvins-hold-it-in
Too early? I seem to remember that Tres Cabrones was up immediately.
That's why joined, to post on that sucker.
I'm really enjoying this album. Great comparison to Stag, by Dan Halen and others.
This one goes all over the place, in all of the best ways possible.
Pinkus and Leary make great musical partners, as well as injecting a healthy dose of butthole
into the project. I've been pulling hair out in chunks, just waiting for this one to materialize
(we first heard about this project, as a proposed ep, in the early summer or 2013).
So, any thoughts on Hold It In? I've listened to it about twenty times, but I don't quite feel ready to write a review, yet. Gotta go! :later:

Same thing with Pitchfork They never give Melvins the love (Although they do seem to like them)
http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/19700-melvins-hold-it-in/
I was wondering when the pitchfork 6/10 would rear its ugly head. Those guys are like clockwork.
And unsurprisingly they give Buzz credit for singing Leary's parts on Brass Cupcake

Ohhhh I have. My brother will still listen to the local rock station from time to time. What's weird is that they mostly play the same garbage that was popular in the late 90's and early 2000's like Incubus, Godsmack, Disturbed, etc but in the rare occasion they play a new song it's
REALLY bad! It makes me wish they'd put Incubus back on!
People are entitled to their opinion but it's weird to me when something that's as inspired as "The Bunk Up" is mostly met with, "Meh, 6 out of 10. Bullhead and/or Houdini was better." It's just a boring, unsatisfying opinion.

I know B&B is an ep, but really? Lysol and Egg Nog aren't?
Seems like a distinction without a difference.
Also, both Houdini's have the same track list.

Not quite. Houdini 2005 has "Set Me Straight / DCH", a version of Set Me Straight that drops everything after the first verse and chorus and goes into the cover of "Deserted Cities Of The Heart" by Cream, which is also the way they've been playing this song live for years.

Ummm... 25+ minutes of music on a 12" does not make a release an LP by default. (I'm not suggesting that Lysol is an EP, though.)
You can make a 2x12" EP if you want to. There are several such releases.

Now we're resorting to speaking Sanskrit? :?
And Dies Ariea is totally a cover. Just watch the beginning of The Shining.
I listened to Hold It In for my first time last night (ready to see Melvins in Seattle tonight!).
This is easily the most psychedelic album the Melvins have ever made and the most heavy album the Butthole Surfers have ever made. I love it. The Melvins just keep on keeping on.

What is a cover? Good question.
I think Cottonmouth probably isn't a cover, but Yacobs Lab is!
So far it's not doing much for me,I'll give it a few more listens, but I will say that toshi did a superb job recording it. This the best recording since stoner witch.
I've finally got the album on cd today but haven't heard it fully. I've only heard a wee snippet of each tune on iTunes. Tonight at some point I shall be popping on headphones and checking it oot.
Amazon just sent me a message, cd should arrive between November 11 and 26 :microwave:

In my case it was cheaper online and would arrive before the shop stocked it. I can't remember the last time I went to a record shop to buy Melvins stuff.
Oh.
Yes I can. It was the seven Hostile Ambient Takeover singles. That was in 2003.
I think its great! It was really bold of Buzz to let the other guys write so many
songs on this - he rarely does that! Clearly he digs the Butthole Surfers. :D

More than any release, since I don't know, ever.
Part of it, for me at least, is how much I've missed the Buttholes.
Collaboration really works in my opinion.

I leave it on repeat too. Last album I did this on was ASA or HAT.

there's none around. i should've called the one thats 35 minutes away, because its been a week now. been tracking the package, it was one town over a few days ago, now its in some town i can't even place.
still haven't listened to it, streaming audio quality is shit
When I'm feelin super hip'n'happenin I call my headphones cans. I was off my game last night.
I've listened to the album 3 times now and I think it's the most interesting and fun album they've done since HAT. The Pop curve balls they hurl every now & again are great.
Finally procured a copy of this album. On my second listen so far and it's incredible! The poppy Leary tracks are excellent surprises. You Can Make Me Wait reminds me of 60s surf with a bizarre twist!
Easily the best thing I found all month!
I got it but haven't had time to listen to it yet. Dig the artwork and the nice case it came in.
:shock: SPINNING ROUND THE WRONG WAY :shock:
wanna know my opinion? I don't respect the thoughts of minions! :P

Got a copy of it at the show
signed by Pinkus, Paul, and Buzz
but no Dale signature? what the fuck?
two sentences in one line wtf!?
i like paul's contribution to the album
it's pretty cool
right now and i gotta listen to it a couple more times

Buzz is a difficult man to please, I felt a little bit sorry for the author of that interview.
I may not be a journalist, but take a look @ the rest of the site.
That rag is free, but that is actually overpriced. :wink:
Here's an interview with Paul Leary from said rag: http://blogs.phoenixnewtimes.com/uponsun/2014/10/butthole-surfers-paul-leery-melvins.php
Judge Judy eh? Whatever floats your boat Paul.
Of all the Butthole Surfer songs they pick the Pepper video to link to in the interview [-X
Hold It In has made it all the way up to 187 on the Billboard music chart.
For comparison, the only other Melvins album to break the top 200 was Nude with Boots coming in at 148.
I thought the Atlantics did back in the day....
maybe not..
good for the melvs!

Those albums might have sold more 'units' but the competition on the Billboard charts back in the day was much steeper too.
I believe the Atlantic albums only made the heatseekers part of the charts, which I don't actually know what that is.
I thought The Bride Screamed Murder was their first album to hit the Billboard 200 at #200.
I heard that too but only found Nude with Boots and Hold It In when going to billboard's website.

Oh damn...I'm sure Buzz would be really excited to see that the first band listed under 'related artists' is fucking White Zombie.
Album has a great mix of songs that pop immediately, songs a little too big to just get right off the bat, and stuff that makes you scratch your head until you eventually love it. My only gripes after playing it through a dozen times are some minor issues with pace. There's a few too many "got your eyes on you'd and way too much of the vocoder voice on track two that doesn't go anywhere. Also the ending of the last track is awesome but there are a lot of stretches where it sounds like all the players are waiting for everyone else to do something. Tracks 5, 7, and 9 are epic and "Hollow Moon" and "Crankenstein" are the real deal.
I've always been a fan of plenty of bands influenced by the butthole surfers, but not so much of the butthole surfers themselves. I think this album may have finally forced me to take the plunge.
Also... Even though there's six songs here that decidedly sound like the melvins, the album as a whole feels more like something else (similar to pigs of the roman or chicken switch). In the end my desire for a melvins album is not quenched. In fact I am thirstier.
Great observations! Here's a good place to start. Plus Egg Raid On Mojo! :idea:

QuoteHow did your collaboration with Dale and Buzz come about?
Paul Leary: I got a call from (bassist Jeff) Pinkus asking if I was interested. They had brought Pinkus on board after Krist Novocelic [Nirvana] backed out.
I don't know if that Krist tidbit has been reported elsewhere, maybe I'm forgetting though
What a maroon. :?
Unless of course he had other issues preventing him from doing it, but otherwise...

I've never seen the BBoys segment of this but the Butthole Surfers were tripping their asses off in this. It's hilarious. Paul and (I think) Trevor the bass player at the time are really funny to watch. Eyes like this- :shock:.
Anyone else get a defective copy from Amazon? :x Fucking Ipecac must be using a cheaper pressing plant. Never in 15 yrs have I had a fucked CD from Ipecac. Two seconds in and it locks up/freezes, yet the CD looks spotless front and back. No it's not my CD player. Fucking unreal.
So I just had to go on Amazon, print a return label, & will mail it out tomorrow(Saturday). Hopefully Amazon ships my replacement out on Monday, and I get it by Wednesday the latest.
And what's up with the crappy cardboard CD package? They should have stuck with standard jewel case. "This Machine Kills Artists" I would let slide since it's a Buzz solo album, but why not keep Melvins CDs as all others are? The only odd cardboard case in the catalog is "Honky", and at least that's the original digipak style.
Mine was fine, in fact I think of all new CDs I've ever bought I only had problems with one back in high school, had a crappy copy of Incesticide from BMG that they replaced. And I like the artwork and packaging, stands out as opposed to every other jewel case that just looks the same on a shelf.

mr leary is a very strange man.
Not gonna dig through the other thread but did someone Cover basis on who wrote which songs? We know about Paul's but what about pinkus and Dale s? Love the album thus far!
Top 3 favz:
Barcelonian horseshoe pit
Sesame street meat
House of gasoline
We know;
Eyes On You - Leary
You Can Make Me Wait - Leary
I Get Along (Hollow Moon) -Leary
Nine Yards - Pinkus
Piss Pistopherson - Pinkus
Bride Of Crankenstein - Pinkus
Barcelonian Horseshoe Pit - Pinkus?
Brass Cupcake - Buzz
Onions Make The Milk Taste Bad - Buzz?
Sesame Street Meat - Buzz
The Bunk Up - Buzz
House Of Gasoline - Buzz
Dale plays drums, contributes guitar and vocals to any song that he needs to?
Everybody plays something on all of these songs? :-k
Is that why dale didn't sign my CD copy?
Quote from: Satchel Paige on October 26, 2014, 05:41:32 PM

i gotta say, as much as i like the album so far, there are a few songs on here i just dont get. i think they are the Pinkus songs.
i dont dislike the songs themselves necessarily, but they dont feel like they fit. Nine Yards specifically sounds like some kind of biker rock band. Piss Pisstofferson as well to a somewhat lesser extent.
maybe they'll grow on me... everything else pretty much works for me very well so far.

Regarding Pinkus songs, do you like Honky?
That's what they sound like to me. Biker band sounds about right, too.
Not a bad thing. That's how the Doobie Brothers got their start. The good Doobies, before that dumbass singer showed up. :facepalm:
Regarding packaging, I don't love it or hate it.
It's probably too fat to fit in your CD tower from uh, Tower Records, in 1987.
I'm just glad that it's not the type of digipack that I get from Neil Young or the Cult.
With those, you need the jaws of life to get the disc out. It gets scratched the first time. #-o
This one at least comes with the cool sleeve to put the disc in, before you Slip It In.
I mean Hold It In. :buzz:
One last nugget. I got both of Le Butcherettes CDs a couple of weeks ago.
The new one is on Ipecac. In a jewel case. So there you go.

I kinda felt the same way at first, those two songs were my least favorite but I love those songs now. Dales snare on Piss Pisstofferson sounds awesome.
yeah i dont hate the songs, they just dont really feel like Melvins tunes. they do kind of feel like Honky songs actually. so they feel out of place. i dont dislike Honky, but i didnt buy any of there stuff after seeing them open for Melvins last year. both songs have cool parts to them. dont hate them, but not sure i love them either.
the packaging is beautiful. but i hate digipacks as a rule and this one is oversized... 5x worse. just give me a fucking jewel case please. then it fits where its supposed to in any cd shelf in the world and i can replace it for 10 cents if there is any damage.
The Bunk Up is the real deal yo.
Melvins have never really had their own sound, Mark D melvins sounds different to BBMelvins who sound different Melvins lite - it's the same with Butthole Melvins, so in that sense it most definitely a Melvins album in its truest sense. The worst thing they could ever do was release Houdini 15 times since the 90s and thankfully Buzzo and Dale did not take that route.
I think if music challenges you, then it is real music and if it doesn't challenge you, it's pop/radio rock.
All the songs do sound of out of place though. I think Melvins haven't released an album that "flowed" since ASA :lol:
that's exactly what happened with Jared&Coady. you had songs with a BB vibe (I'll Finish You Off)
i ordered my vinyl like a month ago and erased my confirmation email.....wonder when i'll get it?

Yay! Got my replacement copy from Amazon today. Loving it on first listen. Definitely a weird one. I guess I don't mind the cardboard pkg. It just surprised me. More thoughts later.
all I can say is Im ready to shit my pants after the first listen.
But I will hold it in. :shock:
I cant review this, Im in love.

Why does Buzz find it necessary to tell us how weird the Melvins are in all recent interviews? I think that's weird.
You ain't no weirdo. Weirdo!
ASA had great flow.
I thought NWB had flow
B&B? Freak puke?
Great flow on those
Hold it In has some flow

Sesame Street Meat? Its such a tease at the end.

I was noticing some of the little digital effects on my drive home last night that I hadn't really noticed before....lots of little things just under the surface of the melody.
It took me about 5 full listens through before I really felt I 'understood' the album...it is a grower for sure.

I feel like so much of my current belief system was informed by Mushrooms and LSD.
To me those who haven't taken hallucinogens are missing out...like a huge part of the world is hidden from them.
I understand that these kind of drugs are not for everyone, but our lack of knowledge regarding their potential is a huge loss to humanity as a whole.
Of course just like any other drug they can be abused but I wouldn't trade my experiences for anything.

as for a Lesson in Drug use...
Its a double edged sword.
a blessing *AND* a curse.
Im a winner AND a loser. :D
I feel like so much of my current belief system was informed by Mushrooms and LSD.
To me those who haven't taken hallucinogens are missing out...like a huge part of the world is hidden from them.
I understand that these kind of drugs are not for everyone, but our lack of knowledge regarding their potential is a huge loss to humanity as a whole.
Of course just like any other drug they can be abused but I wouldn't trade my experiences for anything.
Couldn't agree more. Ever tried DMT? oh my. life-changing isn't even quite a strong enough term.
Also: Jules, you slay me.

How do you get hold of DMT, then? Is this the stuff that's found in iowaska?

I've never had the pleasure, though not through lack of interest, just lack of availability.
And yes that is the primary active ingredient of ayahuasca.
This album isn't a grower....it was love at first sight :love:

Hey, Theres more carefully Hidden and well mixed Pinkus Digital Delay swells than I first noticed. But they are well placed and act like Synthesizer parts nicely.
I noticed them especially clearly once I got this onto a cassette and into my walkman.
I was thinking that the fx are part of what Leary brings.
I can do that stuff at home, but he's the master.

And if youre a stubborn idiot...go ahead...Take Acid, then Do DMT and then Shoot some smack in the span of a few months...see if you can still feel your own life as it leaves you behind in a rotten Shell of flesh and bone.
Sorry to hear what happened to your friend.
Like I said, lack of knowledge regarding these drugs and their proper use has been lost on our culture of instant gratification. If you want to take them like party drugs you will be in for a world of hurt. Not sure what crack and heroin have to do with hallucinogens as they are entirely different beasts and should be avoided like the plague.
Hallucinogens are like amplifiers (of both good and bad feelings), if you take them when you are in a bad place emotionally they can be extremely detrimental.

"Don't smoke dope.....while you're already high. You'll be wondering where all your dope went. You smoked it all." :toke:
Iowaska Is a *drinkable* form of DMT.
But if you truly think you want to understand the thing for what it is...
You can read a book called: DMT-the spirit molecule.
its a little condensed for my liking and too *matter of fact* rather than *gut* type of information.

You should do more drugs.
I have a friend that does DMT ALOT. He's pretty much completely lost his mind. I think he's still sleeping on people's couches and shit and he's pushing 40. As for the he 'devil's weed' , if you're speaking of belladonna, I saw my brother take some of that once and act like a retard for about 12 hours. Didn't think he was going to come out of it. I was envisioning having to care for my mentally challenged brother for the rest of my life. Definitely one of the scarier drugs I've seen in use. Horrible stories? Sure. But sometimes with these stories I find it best to hold it in.
P.S. I scoured the local record stores for this album and came up short. Now, to order the cd, or wait for the lp? :-k

still enjoying the hell out of all new Melvins releases. Getting all of the subtle nuances.

Here in Melvins BBS land, green is considered sarcasm.
On topic, Barcelonian Horseshoe Pit is very much like a psychedelic trip to me. It's like you drop the tab at the beginning of the album by the time Brass Cupcake hit's is when you start getting giddy and then BHP is like peaking. By the time that song ends you have no idea what happened. It's almost like starting from a clean slate once OMtMTB starts. I'm still on repeat with this album. I can't get enough. I wish I could cook up some pure Melvins up and slam it.
I deserved it for that History book remark Didnt I... #-o
*Sigh*
Sorry, Canada is a sensative country.
Big brother is watching.
(Sorry about the American History book remarks, Just keep Darwin for me, Im living proof of De-evolution)
This album is cut clean and pure.
Heisenberg couldnt Touch The Chemists who cooked this batch of tunes.
Adendum;
suffice to say this album leaves my ears ringing.. in a good way.
Its probably the most ambient album since COD IMO, theres sounds on their Ive only been able to imagine hearing. Things I cant Identify, Its a very Alien Album altogether, and Yet that is somehow Familiar space to me.
The Ambience and Noise on this thing Basically Confronts your awareness and overloads your sensory perception until youve forced to revert to a Relaxed State of pleasant Chaos, then the musical side does its work on your subconsious without you even knowing.
(I dont need to mention the Keyboard parts are very satisfying and work so beautifully in every way from a production standpoint to Just being a basic Aid to enhance the musicality of the thing, This is not a modern Album, it *SOUNDS* modern but a lot of what Im hearing on it goes back to about 1984 or older, Instruments Im hearing like pipe or reed organ, and maybe even a woodwind somewhere. and slathered in synth Gravy. Theres Vocoder and what I want to believe is the culmination of Just about every single Recording Technique Ive ever heard, not to mention all the different Instrumental Sounds the Melvins and buttholes have used over their Career span on different albums. )
I love how chaotical yet organized it appears in its entirety, Like a complete oxymoron, So Twisted in its beauty.
It comes on hard, and by the end, youre back to where you started again.
The amount of work and planning going into this was only executed through some kind of Zen like temperance.
Like this album has been 30 years in the making.
To me its almost like this is an album Throbbing gristle would have made *IF* they were more technically gifted musicians rather than simple factory hands..individual parts of a machine on an assembly line that make up a whole Just to increase work effort while cutting costs and making maximum profit margins by simple Mass production runs, Its coming through from both worlds, it lingers between Reality and surreal on a spiders thread that is tied to a psychological Web of entrapment.
Not to mention the Cars Influence on that early track, and I sadly confess butthole Surfers are alien to me as the bottom of the ocean. Im guilty of only owning Electric Larryland.
But some friends showed me their Other albums once and I was in love, almost like Ive been waiting to get into them because I know like a well balanced meal its good to savour every bite rather than gobble it down before you even tasted it.
Thats how much like life this whole *music* thing is to me right now at least.
Frank Zappa wasnt kidding around when he said music is a powerful force that could lead to * hamburger time.*
Theres ONE Disgustingly Killer Pinkus Bassline on a later Track that comes in and then Stops Just as the Drums Kick for that bassline and the Bass STOPS! and the drums keep that part going on Just drums without bass...*shakes head* Its like...!!! you bastards! You mad Bastards!!! You know how good you are!!!!!!!! and youre Just laughing at us all for being so puny and weak and simple minded that we will never quite put our fingers on Just what it is that makes you soo damn....Alive.
If you had to classify this album, Its a very complex Hybrid, and outwardly defies any said Laws or *rules* for pre-expectations of Music and sound.
..but I think Thats only my third or Fourth Listen so far. :-k

nothing personal against the US... just sick of Nationality and flags in general, its nice sometimes, but theres too much discrimination and divide between us all now.
I feel that Ive lost touch.
We are all Just people is what I meant.
No hard feelings. You like Darwin, don't sweat it. Ironically, he's our fastest growing religion.
Not going anywhere. :lol:
This album plays like a superb soundtrack, with all three vocalists taking turns.
A soundtrack to what? I don't know. Also like a Sonic Youth record (3 vocalists).

yup
A few songs on this album, like the opener, have a strong Altamont vibe going on, more than the Buttholes sound. Naturally the ones Pinkus sings on sort of sound like a weirder version of Honky. Love it, it's like perfect 21st century rock for bikers who hate weak crap like Black Label Society, and bullshit oldies like Skynyrd.
So overall I love this album. The songs and performances are awesome. The one thing that bothers me is the recording. The records are always missing the high end to me giving the listener a sort of muffled sound. It's been that way for a while too which is sort of sad. I think it bothers me more so with this album because it's my favorite record since HAT and I wish it sounded better. Give me back my high frequencies please.

You know, I actually noticed this too but I just thought my hearing was bad. I find myself turning it up louder than usual to "hear" it all. It does have that dense kinda muffled sound. Although I can't really think of any other release that has the same muffled sound.
I hate to be negative but it's been bothering me for a while now. Freak Puke could have sounded so much better too. :?

And *I* hate to ask...but the question is now being begged for an answer as to Who what where when and why and how this Freak puke Record didnt meet your expectations of sound, what ARE your Expectations and have you the credentials and pre-requisite to define Mastered Sound pressed to Modulated Vinyl Grooves Vs. Digital Pulse Code Modulation. let a lone evaluate a Stereo based on Numbers alone, where you can Close your Ears, eyes and most importantly your mouth to know what your getting in terms of Frequency count.
The comment doesnt really hold anything to back it up with..could you please elaborate more specifically on what *could* have sounded better and why etc..please.
Because I cant really give a full response to express that I dont share this oppinion of this particular album until I have some specifics and Details.
but this is now off topic and arbitrary.
The album was good, why...I will tell you why,...because the band said so! and you Still Bought it.
Thats about the only worth of anyones negative oppinion on the Album, I think about 15 Bucks worth of *Bother* doesnt add up to much on my side of the argument against the bands decision to make the Albums sound the way they want them to sound.
Play around with your Stereo until you like what you are hearing...its got Cut and boost designed to amplify what characteristics you arent hearing enough of.
Theres a million different ways to Play the same CD, I want to see what your stereo looks like for that matter...that might be your problem man, either that or It might be your hearing is damaged from Loud Concerts. :?
But please dont get off track while you provide no details.

Same here. I lost my hearing after I got nudged in between dale and coady's drumkit in '09, I think.
This album is just fantastic. It gets better and better with each listen.
Stag and Stoner Witch production is the best Melvins ever had. impossible to compare with their current recordings
Yes, the Atlantic records are excellent.I love testing speakers with At The Stake, its like a stress test of sorts.
Stag has been my yardstick for every sound system I have ever set up.
The Bit being particularly helpful during the process since you've got the sitar intro to check you're wiring and panorama, the bass growls for the low end and when the riff sets in you get a great A/B dynamic.
Bar-X is then great to blow the shit out of your speakers.

I long for the days of music recorded to tape instead of to a hard drive. Especially with the Melvins.

Do you really ? I'd guess you'd see about half as many Melvins releases if this was the case. I'm thinking the "miracle of modern technology" has helped bring the cost of recording an album way down, such that they're essentially doing it at what seems to be Toshi's "home studio" or portable setup brought to their rehearsal space.
That being said. I like the bright crispy sounds of A Senile Animal and Nude With Boots a lot versus Freak Puke and Hold It In. To me though, Freak Puke has grown into its own vibe with the mic'd upright bass.
I got an e-mail from Amazon today that said the LP was available for pre-order, with a December 15th release.

One of many great things about the band Shellac is that they do this on principle. I'm usually critical about how albums sound, but I don't have any issues with the sound of the last few Melvins albums. Should they all sound as bright as Stag? No. Could they have sounded slightly better? Maybe.

Sure the records are cheaper to make which is essential in the current music market. I just think music sounds better when recorded to tape. The albums would be even cheaper to make if they just recorded straight into an iPhone microphone and they could make even more records if they just put them out as MP3s straight from the iPhone. I would still think it sounds better recorded to tape. Hell - even if they mixed it to tape it would warm it up.
after seeing Bride Of Crankenstein performed live i think i have a new favourite tune

It wouldn't surprise me if Toshi has some kind of reel. Maybe it does touch tape in the whole process?

I always thought that was one of the things that made the Maggot so great.
It was a smart change in dynamic that came at a good time. Within the context of the Trilogy, it makes total sense to me that the abrasive part of the three would be ridiculously mixed, and the upfront guitars really add to the rawness. I mean that extra guitar track that comes in at the very end of amazon just to make it even angrier?
Like Eggnog on steroids.

Don't get me wrong the guitars are super abrasive, but I just personally don't see the point of having one of the best rock drummers in music and not being able to hear him.
Or maybe I just have Stoner Witch engraved in my brain so deep that I think every record should sound that well recorded and mixed!
you guys are teasing me again!
Its not worth the hassle of Tape, no one has the know-how or money for that kind of thing in this day and age, well as far as I can tell anyway..I Just have troubles of my own with Computers not being as hands on and that refines my creative drive somehow and restrains me a bit from using my head and hands to physically Render something on a machine Ive restored or keep running less a laptop with a crashing harddrive...I find chewed tapes are ok, nevermind tho...one is not better than the other..
Analog was at its pinnacle in around the mid 90s, then the wave broke upon the rock.
but god it was GLORIOUS and PURE!!! oh so Sweet!
Analog never sounded better before it went down.

I hear you. Do you think that Dale is mixed appropriately on Hold It In?
Yes, very much so. He's a bit anonymous on Hold It In, but that's how it should be for this kind of record.
The way I see it - The Trilogy is a resume or some sort of retrospective look at themselves.
Obviously heavy/sludge/doom (maggot), weird/soft/ambient (bootlicker) and of course experimental/electronic/noise/all of the above (crybaby). Basically they were showing all their cards at once up to that point.
I think that since the heavy sound of Melvins has always relied on Dale's drums being ridiculously massive, offbeat and primitive sounding - it was just a shame that with Maggot (being a nod to their heavy side), those drums were basically hidden except for the cool noise in Amazon.
Since Hold It In is a pop record (in the most demented way possible), the drums can afford to be in the background just to keep time and they don't need to be at forefront.
Although during Horseshoe, his old style made a return though and the drums were appropriately mixed to sound massive again!
something i heard once but cant confirm, is that buzz recorded the whole
album first and then dale came in afterwards and added the drums to what
was already recorded - maybe thats why he was so low in the maggot mix.

Anyone else get a defective copy from Amazon? :x Fucking Ipecac must be using a cheaper pressing plant. Never in 15 yrs have I had a fucked CD from Ipecac. Two seconds in and it locks up/freezes, yet the CD looks spotless front and back. No it's not my CD player. Fucking unreal.
Funny thing, you know? I've played the album several times on my very VERY OLD Technics portable CD player without any problem, but when I played the first track on my not so old Panasonic stereo system I noticed a problem, not a freeze but a series of "jumps" throughout the first 15 seconds, which is very weird considering that the inner ring of "This Machine Kills Artists" CD looks exactly like this one and it plays fine.
my copy locks up too. but i thought it was my stereo since when i listen to the album on my pc i don't have any problem

my vinyl got delivered today. can't wait 'til i get home. i even have the house alone for me tonight. aaand i haven't heard a song besides the those on the bride 10"! :D
Will be passing on the vinyl of this one.
(someone posted today on the EA forum)
"Got Hold It In on LP today. $15. It's weird. A lot to sink into. It's got a download for the whole album. The LP itself is missing Eyes On You and Room Full Of Gasoline even though the jacket lists them. You have to hear those on the $40 Bride of Crankenstein tour only 10"."
Lame :?. It still annoys me that they left the best song off of the Freak Puke vinyl, which easily could have fit.
Guess I'll pass too, that is pretty lame. Glad I got the CD now.

Yeah. Agreed.
Same with the Crybaby, although it all wouldn't fit anyway but the songs are listed. It's okay in my book though because the Trilogy on vinyl is beautiful and it was about $10 more than the three song Bride Of Crankenstiein 10".
Anyone in the UK wants an inexpensive Hold It In LP, there are some here, £10.20 each with free shipping. That's a pretty good price. (They're £18.99 in my local shop.)

Aparently this is pushed back till Jan 16 in Canada
The whole thing comes down to Marketing.
Its not LAME, Its MARKETING! if you ask me. 8)
working smart.
These guys are Simply trying to cash in on their own Market, which is mainly high-priced Limited releases that sell like anything else that is Melvins Vinyl and out of print in the 80-100 Dollar Ebay Range.
So why not make stuff Limited and Hand-made, They Just want a slice of their own pie for a change.
Everyone else is making bucks flipping their shit...they need a cut of their own Excitement too, at least they seem to be trying out different ways to prevent pirating, Flipping and shit talking thieves.
The first assumption is that a fool and his money are soon parted.
the second is that these guys gotta make a decent living, you know.
Nothing personal...just business as usual.
these guys were smart to split Tracks on their vinyls and make more money for what it was worth.
If the Bride Ten inch is Limited and more expensive, and the Album is Cheap and missing the tracks from the 10 Inch then things Balance out I would say.
The original pressing of Faith No More's The Real Thing had Edge of the World missing on the LP. To get that on vinyl you had to get From Out of Nowhere. Anthrax's Black Lodge was also missing on the Sound of White Noise LP. This is how it always was back in the day. Shit doesn't always fit. You make a good point, but you are incorrect. Buzzo likes AmRep. He does that stuff for the art. If a dickhead has to pay a ridiculous price from a flipper and can't see that someone is cashing in on what's hot at the moment, that's their problem. The only point you made that alluded to something was marketing. That's why the supermarket puts lollies at the register. It's called impulse. Most collectors are prone to this. Collectors only make up about 10% of the market. And that's why AmRep stuff is so limited. Not many dickheads want everything.
You're right, it IS genius marketing - the whole uber-limited stuff on AmRep. It makes up for the lost revenue of casual leeching fans who don't buy anything, and just download what they want for free.
I'm into collecting, just would never pay $40 for say a Bride picture disc single with a b-side that's on the CD. I just have to laugh at the people who buy this stuff. You're not really getting bang for your buck, but are able to say "I have this rare piece of art that contains some music" basically.

I think you are undervaluing the art and overestimating the leeching fans.
And why? Why anything? Why buy a teddy bear that says "TY" on the tag when you can get one for a few bucks from the convenience store, if all you want is a teddy bear? Why buy new Levi's when you could get jeans from goodwill, if all you want is a pair of jeans? Why buy a Cadillac instead of a Kia, if all you want is a car? If what you get out of music is utilitarian that's fine for you. Some people want more. Why? Why not?

Exactly my point. AmRep makes enough to cover the realistic amount they will sell. Outside of this they don't have after costs. Warehousing, staff and Internet related crap. They know how many desire these, similar to when a label would release a single with a b-side, but in this case it's the art factor. They don't sit there and go, "we'll get a chunk here". They just make what will move.
Like I said, it's only 10% that actually desire everything. Leeches operate in every form of collecting. Mainly because of the impulse factor.

while I agree the whole *Track* space thing is a result of the Analog Age evolving into the Digital Era, Im only basing my post around what has simply been said in previous posts from other members here.
as for both marketing and Track space by the numbers;
I dont personally know the math...
Ok well, my bold marketing assumption in this case was clearly based around the point which was Raised that the Bride LP had enough room to fit the missing tracks offered on the Ten inch. this Album, I have no copy of, and cannot confirm firsthand.
Same with What was mentioned about FREAK PUKE LP missing a track while it *should* have been able to fit on the pressing, this wasnt something I own, therefore I cant physically see the groove allowance myself.
Im only going based on what I know about the money-mad music industry and the information provided herein to make any sort of suggestions about why or why not the Melvins LPs didnt include Tracks that the CD version includes.
again, it could be that it doesnt fit and its also a good marketing stragegy simultaneously.
who wouldnt love a win-win like that!!!! :?
Comparing what is released on cd and vinyl is a different thing completely. The main reason a cd has more tracks is because a label will attempt to fill it. They will choose from the tracks available and most of the time not be concerned with space limitations. Because there aren't any. Vinyl is different, and like in the early days will rarely press on 2 LP's unless there is a reasonable provision to. Unfortunately the Melvins won't fit this unless added cost is taken upon themselves. Remember most of their vinyl is on small labels. The market for this isn't really warranted for doubles when the major consumer just wants the music. There is the added fact that Dale and Buzz do understand the collectors mentality. I don't believe tracks are intentionally withheld, but know they can do something small and elaborate for those people.
I agree #2Pencil, I believe the tracks were omitted for spacial reasons in order to maintain good audio quality on the vinyl pressing.(Which is a good thing) That being said I think it's crazy that they left off "Eyes On You". For me it's one of the better tracks on the LP. Leaving "You Can Make Me Wait" off would have been a better choice to leave off the record in my opinion.

I disagree with #2 pencil and agree with Dan. If it said 'eyes on you' on the package but the song was removed I'd be dissapoined because that song kicks ass.
At the end of the day in order to release it on vinyl songs needed to be removed as the length exceeded 45 min. The selected tracks that were released digitally totalled 53 min. How they select these to be removed is unknown, but logic says the 2 removed works as Dan suggests. You Can Make Me Wait is really too short to be considered, and Sesame Street Meat probably worked better included (is roughly the same length as Eyes On You) keeping the integrity and flow overall. I guarantee more people are happy with the LP than complain about missing tracks. Unfortunately track lengths in vinyl and cd will more often never always match these days unless the LP is pressed as a double. This just adds more cost. It started back in the late eighties where at times more songs were on the cassette. Hell if you get Standing on a Beach by The Cure on cassette you get the B-Sides as well. The LP has less tracks on it, and the cd has all the A-Sides that were on the cassette.
I will have to pick up a vinyl copy and hear how it sounds.
but if the Length was 53 minutes on the CD, then #2 pencil is right, that quality had to be preserved by omitting a couple tracks for the pressing.
youre saying it Has less to do with marketing and more to do with sound and cost.
Anyway I doubt they will split a record pressing from* a double Twelve inch LP into a double containing a mixed size. one Twelve inch LP and one TEN inch LP to fit together. Thats Just non-sensical. and the cost of the double is more and one side of the Record would be blank or would have to have more track included. The cost is making more sense to me now.
It was only logical to put the cut tracks out on a seperate Release on a smaller sized Vinyl.
Because splitting 53 Minutes into a double 12 inch would be like putting less than 10 minutes of Track PER side of each LP. youre right.
more annoying to me than having one 12 inch that has a solid 45 minutes on it, and a Ten inch that contained the missing tracks and also included Bonus B sides like would have been Featured on the Cassette release if this was 1989 right now.
alright, I think I get it now.
Add to it this much more;
The whole B side thing, The HAT 45 singles have a good chunk of Excellent Things not included on the CD! when the CD could probly have fit on it its around 72 Min or something, THINK ABOUT IT :? Ironically enough anyway.
Cassette is a good way That I listen to those, If I had the Singles 1-12 Series I would do like someone else here suggested and put the A sides on one side of the Cassette and the B sides on the B sides for two completely different albums.
Back in the mid-late '80s when CDs were the new medium you'd get the record & cassette released first, then months later the CD would come out. It's almost the other way around now. A lot of bands/artists took advantage of the amount of music you could fit onto a CD, and put sometimes 20-30 more min of music on them. A few examples I can think of are the first two Rollins Band albums, and Zappa's "Broadway The Hard Way" & "Guitar".
So basically, CDs are still my preferred choice. I'm way more selective on what I buy on vinyl, yet this week I grabbed the Fantomas vinyl box, mainly for the new art/package & the demo tape. I now own two versions of Delirium Cordia on vinyl. :shock:

While good in theory, it was often overkill. It worked well for a live set or two previously released albums on one cd, but it seemed like a lot of bands would fill up the cd because they could, or probably were forced to by the label. It took the flow out of a record like you used to get from having the two sides of vinyl or a cassette. Often on a two sided release each side would have a theme, or a mood. The best songs might be at the end of a side. With a 20 track cd around the middle it became just filler. I would lose interest around track 14 or so :lol:

I agree. Most albums are bloated, tired affairs, following the introduction of the compact disc.

A lot of bands/artists took advantage of the amount of music you could fit onto a CD, and put sometimes 20-30 more min of music on them.
While good in theory, it was often overkill. It worked well for a live set or two previously released albums on one cd, but it seemed like a lot of bands would fill up the cd because they could, or probably were forced to by the label. It took the flow out of a record like you used to get from having the two sides of vinyl or a cassette. Often on a two sided release each side would have a theme, or a mood. The best songs might be at the end of a side. With a 20 track cd around the middle it became just filler. I would lose interest around track 14 or so :lol:
I agree. Most albums are bloated, tired affairs, following the introduction of the compact disc.

I love Filth Pig!

Hell Yes! They should have added this. Over 60 minutes of that electro funeral dirge.

I don't know. It was released in '94 on the Escape From LA soundtrack. I think. Look at the other YouTube clips. I got it on the Lay Lady Lay single, when Filth Pig came out, but noticed the copyright was from two years before.
I'm sure it was and that it has a copyright 2 years before May confirm it. I cannot remember where I knew this from but I'm sure the only other elements exist in The Fall also. Everything else was scrapped. Al re recorded the stuff though. Similar thing happened with the Tapeworm (Trent Maynard). Maynard used his bits in A Perfect Circle song and Charlie took his for the Underworld soundtrack.

Seriously. I love Atkins drumming on this track. It's just pummeling plus talk about a fucking super group!
This album was just what people like me needed at the time it came out. Of course WTMA and Fook with honorable mention.
http://youtu.be/KTz4jMgpWcM (http://youtu.be/KTz4jMgpWcM)
It was a really good record. Thing that always annoyed me about it was that Trent and David only did 1 song each, yet were credited as part of the group. Albini played bass on a couple of tracks, and he got squat. Well he is listed as playing on those tracks, but he should be considered also as part of the group.

I thought anyone who appeared on their records was considered a member.
Shonen Knife-said "fuck it up, Pigface" into a microphone, they're members.
I remember Pigface and Damage Manual being two of my favorite bands, but
Melvins won out. You can't stop making music, kids. Swim or die! :P
You may be right. I was just going off what's written in the inlay and pictures I always saw. I think there was only a couple that had David and Trent. Most didn't have them. The inlay for Gub says
Pigface is
Atkins, Rieflin with Barker, Connelly, En Esch, Ogre, Reznor, Schultz, Tucker and Yow
I guess that makes them Honorary Members. 8) I would do the same thing with my band working with Top notch Folk.
When I saw em reznor was playing keys.
I like Industrial music a lot. Anyway I picked up Hold it in Today on Vinyl and It's Great. My girl at the record store said she can't order it right now. I am thinking they are redoing the Sleeves so the track list is correct.
More likely another pressing with the first lot sold. I don't believe it was limited, but could be wrong on that. Or maybe stores were allotted a certain amount. Most online suppliers didn't get the Fantomas box. I don't believe Ipecac would alter the sleeves after it had been released. Seems like it was easier for them to just use the same art from the cd packs. Would have kept production cost down also. Remember this did get pushed back from its initial release date.
I finally snagged Hold It In on vinyl a few days back. The kind folk at Ipecac have enclosed a free MP3 coupon with the vinyl. I already have digital of the record so the first to pm me can have the coupon if they want it.
Came across the review of Hold It In on Blabbermouth:
http://www.blabbermouth.net/cdreviews/hold-it-in/
They gave it 8/10.
Wow, blabbermouth? They're still going. I remember looking up when the new Pantera record was going to be released back in the day. Man, I've been around a bit on the old 'net. :lol:
I suppose I'm voicing an unpopular opinion here, but I feel like this album, though by no means "bad" in any way at all, is mostly unnoteworthy. A couple of gnarly riffs, but mostly the continuation of this sorta circusy quality that Melvins albums have smacked of for a little while now. I suppose I'm waiting for them to drop an album heavy as a brick shithouse, and my expectations are getting in the way. With that bias aside, I still feel like this album is, at best, mediocre Melvins.
But, then again, I've never really been partial to the studio albums at all--and I imagine a handful of these songs would kill live.

Yeah, I was kind of hoping for a more experimental sound, given the lineup. It's grown on me, though.

I've seen this comment a few times and I don't really get it. The Butthole Surfers have been pretty poppy since Independent Worm Saloon, arguably since Hairway to Steven, and before that they still wrote pop songs in between the weirdness. You Can Make Me Wait, Eyes On You, and I Get Along sound like the exact type of song I'd expect to hear on a new Butthole Surfers record.

Yes, and as we all know, new Butthole Surfers isn't as cool and interesting as old Butthole Surfers. I wanted this record to be more cool and interesting than poppy. I have the right to want things, don't I?

Of course, I just don't get why people are surprised by it.
They're not pissed off teenagers anymore. I'm sure that Sesame Street Meat and the one with God in its tittle from BSM is as "traditional" Melvin's as we'll hear and I don't blame them. I contribute a fair bit of their longitivity to never retreading ground and always trying something new, even if it doesn't work occasionally.
Having said that I hear you, call me any label but it would be fun to hear a Lysol or Houdini again, as it would also be fun to hear a bootlicker or honky again, or in this case - hold it in which is a blast!
A Melvins "pop" record is weird.

I guess my question would be if you came across these songs, and a lot of the other recent era songs, randomly on the radio(or spotify, or whatever people listen to music on these days) not knowing it was the melvins would you still like them, let alone think they are great? I think the above comment about not being pissed off anymore is dead on. But good for them they are still making music and seem to be more popular than ever. And before I get shit on for having an opinion, yes I'm aware they can do whatever they want to, no I haven't released any records myself, and yes I do have more important things going on in my life to worry about than what kind of songs the melvins are writing. Thank you.

I have no reason to believe I wouldn't like the songs. I always try to give bands, songs, artist, albums, etc at least 3 listens before I totally make up my mind about something. I've been listening to a lot of Oingo Boingo lately and I didn't really have much of a reason to check them out. They certainly aren't talked about on the forums I read. It's good stuff regardless of who wrote it.
Of course if an artist has credibility I'm probably willing to give it more than three chances. Devo has made some brilliant albums so I've probably listened to Shout about 15 times expecting to finally like it or get some enjoyment out of it. It's still a huge, embarrassing piece of shit.
Also, I never shit on anyone's opinion. I'm just surprised that people forgot that the Butthole Surfers have always wrote poppy songs. Did people forget that Hey, Creep in the Cellar, Negro Observer, BBQ Pope, and so on exist? Most of their albums really weren't much like LAT. Hold It In sounds about like what I'd expect the Melvins to do with Paul Leary and Pinkus. Not sure why more people didn't see it coming.
I just want to say I love the Leary songs on Hold It In.
i love this album

No disrespect, but I don't think listening 3 times before passing judgement is adequate time. There are plenty of albums/songs out there that you could listen to hundreds of times and possibly still not get it. This could also explain your change in taste for Oingo Boingo. You yourself has changed, so now you get it. I personally listen to stuff now, that some 20 years ago snuffed at. I even hated Lysol. Thought it was a drawn out mess and a half assed attempt to play some cover songs. Then something one day clicked. It all made sense. Trust me, just put it aside and come back to it. It will call you when its ready. Then it might just make sense.

3 is the minimum and it's not a set number. If it's something like Nickelback, ICP, generic nu metal, boy bands I tend to give up pretty quickly. If it's something like an album I don't like by a band I really like I tend to wait a lot longer. I tend to be patient with bands I really like. It took me about 5 years before I thought Era Vulgaris was a good album!
I wouldn't say my taste in Oingo Boingo really changed. I always kind of wrote them off as the Weird Science band. I still don't think that's their best song. If I had heard tracks like Insanity, Only a Lad, Just Another Day, Wild Sex, No Spill Blood etc I probably would have gotten into them a lot sooner.
One of their best imo...

There's a psychedelic scaffolding holding the whole thing up.
Leary is CRAZY! :shock:
I love this album! So many catchy riffs!!
I'm going to say that this album is not one of my personal favorites by them comparably. Enough time has passed and enough listens have been given.
I still think its fuckin great! They totally opened up new territory with Hold It In!

Yay! :) I made an impulse buy and picked up the LPs of "Hold It In" & "This Machine Kills Artists" at an actual record store last night. $16 a piece, figured I should have these in vinyl form, cuz they won't be around forever. These look and sound cool but part of me feels bad because there were quite a few Can & Residents albums(both which I have nothing by) which I probably should have bought instead. I guess it's an OCD thing. :lol: With the tour coming up, I thought of it the other day that I want this on vinyl too, even with the omitted songs.
nothing by Can? crazy!
i probably would have picked up the Melvins LP's as well.
