Melvins Album Discussion / Re: New Melvins! - The Bulls & The Bees

« on: February 26, 2012, 12:36:51 AM »

well, i'm listening to it a day later, after listening to most of bullhead, after a nice amount of drinks. perfect situation to listening to music one wants to like. but i'm sorry. this is shite. it really is. once again, after a minute (those intro drums are good), what the fuck are you guys on about?

don't wanna hammer or intrude on someones fun, but i've also read comments here how nothings being produced thats worth listening too, well... good luck to ya but im a 33 year old man and theres a whole lot of good shit happening that's well worth a listen and unfortunately this song is not part of this.

this is shit.

but, i love you guys.

Sounds like a leftover.
yep, you said it.
Im gonna risk being the bad guy and say I don't think its that great. buzzos singing parts are cool though. I still cant stand jared.

i had to turn it off halfway through, found it annoying. i'll try again later.
i have hope for the melvins lite.
do you think it sounds just kinda weak? like they are just trying to re-imagine ASA, but not really improve it? this is also what happens when you write so many songs you feel compelled to go back in the closet and dig out some riffs. then instead of conveying your realtime emotions within the entire song, you get flashbacks, causing it to just sound the same. i've learned not to go back as much, and try to write in the moment. that was wayyy to introspective. alas, this well may go dry pretty soon. time to kick out the bassist.

to be honest i just don't like the big melvins sound. the tone of the guitar and i hate to say it, the drumming too, just doesn't do it for me.
many of the songs, including this one conjure up images of college boys getting drunk with heaps of "fuck yeahs" and high fives going around. it has that annoying all american sound, i don't know how to explain it, just how it sounds to me. don't like it, lacks depth, lacks soul.
probably the only one or one of few that feels this way here, but that's my opinion. not trying to upset anyone or get into a debate.

i'd be happy if they went into the closet as you say and dug out the riffs from bullhead, or hat.
hoping that melvins lite will capture a different style than big melvins.

Melvins Discussion / Re: Best Melvins Pic Ever

i think it's a great shot. perfect depth of field. made the adoring punter that's out of focus the focus, whilst framing the subject buzzo in the shot in focus an intriguing frame. brilliant.
and as a band shot i think it's full of energy. something idlehanz shopped version lacks.
if i was to criticise i'd say a little too much pp in the outline of buzzo's body, guitar (and hair). but i'm only saying that as i looked at it a while. if he/she didnt bring it out, wouldn't be such a strong shot.

I told you!

I believe it was the Hollywood "Cleanse" diet. the one where you drink 4 gallons of water a day and then take a triple laxative at bed time.

hey, it works.

does this mean you wake up with your bed covered in liquid shit?

I'll tell you what it is, an Englishman that's into Melvins. And like any proper Englishman puts too many words into Google, that's what it is.
