red nine number one
we will win blue blind rat in a
one of my begars is right with ya

my own wisdom moan now
cause he's right and simple

the four eyed muscle man
nothin more biggot the true rat not enough
i was lookin red nine number one

my own wisdom moan now
cause he's right and simple

masked stood a bit off boy then my heart
drone away and take song i found another one
rented like the wind mill
send meal own it last song

they fourth little toke they surely piss it away
only bit to the sign and then we'll shock tail with you
if you live for the season
you have more than reason
couldja tell by the motion could ya tell by the light could ya tell that its true

its your live on a stain dont want a gip and yeah youre not an ordinary


suicide in progress

theres a little animal welt in the air
my nose into my robe in but maybe its not there
theres a little man now in the middle of the earth
he gives himself these orders and let it all be burned
there are lots of makeshift wonders seven in the world
five of them will not be noticed and three will not be heard

theres a meal theres a window theres a face that you can see
you can keep what youve stolen just give it back to me
i vow to taste my vengeance even if they fail
maybe his time is comin or maybe hes better uh

didnt do the end yet

what was the deal with the high end cutting in and out?

"interviewer: Don't listen to me. I don't know what the fuck I'm talking about.

Buzz: Nobody does."

great interview. the live footage sounds great, too.

it sounds like a different band

you mean than the previous stuff recorded with Big Biz?if so i agree with you

not really. the 1940s drumset, the standup bass, and what i think are different guitar tones all make a new sound for the melvins. the vocals, guitar and drums are recognizably buzz and dale of course but it seems more like a new band than a melvins album. its melvins LITE

this album is awesome. it sounds like a different band. the highlights for me are tracks 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, and 10.

Freak Puke is more to the true form of Melvins weirdness and jamming than what they have done in recent years. This is not in anyway denigrating their releases with Coady and Jared I like them too. But being a long time fan, Freak Puke is more of what I am used to coming from them.

The only thing I would like to see coming from the dual drumming of Dale and Coady is more independent drumwork rather than both doing the same thing. If you are just going to do the same thing always, then whats the point of having two drummers?  Play around with right channel and left channel sweeps to really mess around with headphone users or listening on stereos and mp3 players.  There is just so much you can do with two drummers than playing in sync the same things.

from what i've seen at the live shows i got the impression coady and dale don't play the same thing for a great majority of the material they wrote together. for pre-big melvins songs they play the same as each other more, but i like the way they do that with some new things here and there. they mess with the stereo, too. for example in the drum duel at the beginning of we are doomed you can hear one drummer on one side and the other on the other side.

"disposable dessert sessions track"

Oxymoron. Desert Sessions tracks by definition are disposable.

The Desert Sessions - Girl Boy Tom

Desert Sessions : Monkey In The Middle

The Desert Sessions - Cowards Way Out

The Desert Sessions - Cake (Who Shit on the ?)

the desert sessions - The Idiots Guide

"disposable dessert sessions track" read "i dont know what i'm talking about"

MELVINS "A Growing Distaste"

Also, can anyone confirm that the cd actually sounds better than the 320kbps mp3s?  The gaps make me wonder if they just burned the mp3s to a cd.

no way, the cd sounds alot better. it's too bad that most people will be listening to the mp3s.

ask scion for a cd, they send them out free.

southern lord is sending them out with dopesmoker cds, too.
