I don't know how I feel about Nude With Boots. I always kind of liked the Melvins because they were off-kilter, weird, and wildly creative, but NWB feels kind of throwbacky and mayyybe even kind of straightforward in places. I love Billy Fish, The Savage Hippy and It Tastes Better Than the Truth though. Tastes Better reminds me a lot of something Karp might have made.

I'm not really a fan of classic rock or anything, and I haven't heard any of the songs live. I've heard them pretty loud though. It just hasn't surprised me as an album, which is something I can usually count on from the Melvins. I think it's a grower though. We'll see.

I don't even have to mention that I thought of the Mumu's.  If only they shipped with alchemic symbols on them.

It comes with a free book light. Maybe Buzz could use it to illumate the ground underneath him, like when somebody puts neon lighting under their car. That would be a really avant-garde look, a world first.

Your review made for good reading man. Seems Jared is pretty happy to jump into the audience and either throw or freak people right out of the venue this tour - no bad thing at all. Shows that Big Biz are really at ease now as part of the Melvins

but it took me 20 minutes to figure out what band it was for.

That's pretty long considering that it's a Melvins poster thread

But really, great poster. I like the whole horned animal, flowers, psychedelic thing about it. Interesting type as well.

I believe that's Aleister Crowley! Wearing his Horus hat thing.

I love that poster, but the date reads October 5th, when the Melvins show is definitely on October 4th. Feel free to berate me if it's an old poster, but I'm pretty sure the venue, The Button Factory, hasn't been called The Button Factory for very long. Anybody know who made it so maybe an email could be fired their way before it gets printed?


Edit:

I did a little research on themelvins.net, and yeah, it would seem Melvins played New York on October 5th 2007, and the Button Factory was only renamed as the Button Factory last October, so it looks like that's definitely an error on the poster there.


Still, it's a fucking beautiful piece of work.
