At the same time, though, isn't it kind of ironic that so many people here went ape shit over Here Come the Waterworks, rightly so, only to turn on BB once they were usurped by the Melvins. 
i like chocolate and i like cheese, but not the combination of it. i do love big biz on its own, maybe with the exception f their last album.
I have to say, I agree with norecess and others... to an extent. I felt that BB had ruined the Melvins in the past, and I'm still not enamored with ASA and NWB. But this album really is the best thing they've done with BB so far, and a vast improvement over the last two.
it does seem better than NWB, which was already better than (A)SA, but for a MELVINS album i use different standards.
It's the best album since Pigs, which is to say, not as good as Pigs.
POTRE, the pig skin/starve already EP and the stuff with Haze XXL are among my favorite things they've done the past few years (see a connection there?). POTRE was the last new melvins album that really made me want to listen to it over and over again.
but please don't call me a hater -- that's such a big word.
