perhaps its a second surgery

greatest hits baby

had more thoughts as it turns out...
about better feeling one of the things that stood out was the vocal melody/harmonizing stuff that has been a feature of the new melvins sound since like 2017. i thought it was really cool to hear that come through even though they added a whole other band on this one, and it had me wondering who is playing on this record exactly. is steven shane mcdonald on it? i think so. but overall the vocals continue to be a stand out for me on these new melvins releases.

I listened to it through headphones. It sounds very big overall. I liked all the tracks and better feeling is great and long 7 mins or something. the sails song i hadn't heard the original yet but was very fun and bouncy. already started my second play this morning on the way to work. but yeah, im going to try and get the vinyl on sunday. it slots very well with the mudhoney release and the sabbath release. out of those three it is going to be hard for me to pick a favorite. and i would say that after all the years of build up to this split/big band release....it definitely lives up to how i've hyped it up for myself in my head over the years.
4 out of 4 stars. two thumbs up.

It's so good!
At the stake is S-L-O-W, brought me to a tear.

Yay! I just ordered mine as well.

i thought the video was pretty cool. definitely Jesse Nieminen's most visually stimulating work yet in my opinion. i never thought he wasn't good or anything but i never found interest in too many of his visuals over the past 7 years or whatever since a walk with love and death, but i really dig those found in this new video.

thanks for the review! my cd should be arriving in the mail this afternoon, will give it a whirl

it was released as limited art edition 7" records on am rep. i have some of them but not all of them.

I like the way they are doing things. There has been nothing from them that i wanted that i couldn't really get my hands on in the past 25 years except for the original trilogy ipecac vinyl. Good news for me though I don't really want that anymore. I knew this throbbing gristle release was going to be a big deal for a lot of fans but i figured i wouldn't like it as much as BMR. I still snagged a copy though. ;p

You should be able to snag a cheapie five dolla cd at least.

i like how its catchy and stones-y at first and the gets a sludgy breakdown.

yeah, i agree, i've seen a ton of shows/footage on youtube of course but really appreciate the professional videos whenever those are available. Having the bass and drums sound so good just made it for me and then of course the setlist. Its just really working for me on this tour. oh by the way
Hammering... best song of the decade or what?!

watched it last night, awesome show and awesome video. I thought the sound for everything was great! would like to have this show on cd/vinyl and would pay for a blu ray version too. I loved it!
