ELECTRORETARD

[Eponymous]

The ony other song I can think of that made me crank the volume is Pat Benatar "Heartbreaker" where she sings with no music.

Pat Benatar?

I also really like their amazing version of "Interstellar Overdrive" - it is pretty faithful to the original, even down to the extreme stereo panning near the end.

(Actually, the original was in mono. Back when Pink Floyd recorded this, stereo was a bit of a novelty and not much time was spent on the stereo version, nor was it taken very seriously. The band, and Syd Barrett in particular, were supposedly unhappy with the stereo version.)

Hey all.

I just bought this over the net (some places still have first hand copies for $10 american) and, having only heard Youth of America, I'd like to know what you guys think of it.

Cheers.

great disc.  underappreciated.  i listened to it recently a few times and liked it alot again.  can't really complain about any of it.  i love me some lovely butterflies.

Skip Shit Storm unless you can find it reversed on the Net anywhere...I think Anaconda has a link if he reads this topic. As for the rest of it, I think it's a great little record. It's the first Melvins disc I found, so it's got some sentimental value for me...the versions of Gluey, Revolve and Missing are fantastic. I prefer the originals of Lovely Butterflies and Tipping the Lion, but they're not bad at all and the Pink Floyd track's not bad too. Haven't really listened to that one too much though. In short, yeah it's a good record and well worth owning simply because it's gone and gone seemingly for good now...

Shit Storm is still useless in reverse if you already have about 3 copies of Revolve like I do. But ElectroRetard I think is a fantastic album, one of my favourite Melvins albums cause I prefer all the reworkings on here. This was also my first Melvins record I stumbled across, so maybe I'm a little biased.

I much prefer the original version of Revolve.

"missing" is a great song, and exemplifies what I love about the melvins, it's a totally different style of song for them that they pull off no sweat, and Buzz isn't afraid to put the guitar down and let the bass and drums to the work.  They make EVERYTHING work for them, THEIR way.

[anaconda]

thats a very bright observation, and quite true - sign up brother!

i mean of course kevin is all over that song, he played it a million times
with the cows, and buzz does know when to play and when not to, he's good about that.

[DubEMC]

Just got it and I think it's pretty cool. I like it better than Honky. I will trade an " Electoretard " CDR for a CDR of " Stag ". Please to include the cover!

[Fergus Leg]

I could not stop listening to that cd when i first got it.
