gotta say apart form the infamous opening track that brought the horror, its cool. listening to it on repeat now.
can't help but think if they had given us a different track last week, all these shenanigans wouldn't have happened.

I love all the sounds... it's a very atmospheric album.

I'm on the third listen of We Are Doomed. I'm very surprised by the positive reaction for this track and the so-so feedback of The War On Wisdom, because I like The War On Wisdom a lot better. I'm hoping We Are Doomed will grow on me.

Listening to it more and I realize now it's excellent. My statements from my previous post were partly a result of mixed expectations on my part! I should know now not to expect things to be a certain way with the Melvins. The song's a grower, though. It has a cool "dark" intro with some great drumming. After that I was expecting something slow and sludgy in the vein of A History Of A Bad Men. Instead we get a slow "happy" almost bluesy kind of laid back groove. Not "Shevil" laid back, but in the vein of Billy Fish and the second part of Suicide In Progress.  It really gets good when the vocals kick in. The vocals on this track (and on The War On Wisdom) are excellent. The song gradually unfolds until the riffs get darker and more menacing, yet with the catchy vocal harmonies remaining intact, but sounding darker. And yeah, I definitely hear the resemblance with the "don't look down" part of Electric Flower. I'm looking forward to hearing how We Are Doomed flows into Friends Before Larry.

One other note-on the first couple of listens I found myself wishing that the guitar was more distorted. Then I realized that's part of the song's charm. It's heavy and menacing without heavy distortion and it works. I was thinking about Buzz's comment about these songs being "amazing with their calm intensity" and that statement really rings through to me with We Are Doomed. There's a calm intensity throughout the whole song. I think I get where Buzz is coming from.
