Bride Screamed Murder reviews

[Schnabster]

It's a melodica not a harmonica. They are completely different.

Put that on the Melodica Wikipedia entry:

Melodica

Used on the Melvins release "The Bride Screamed Murder".

there's no need to have a melodica,Crover can do that sound with his mouth

Crover can do this aswell:



Crover is the chosen one.

And so it is with 'The Bride Screamed Murder.' Opener 'The Water Glass' almost teases the listener by launching into one of those super-heavy trademark riffs, before going all native American. It's a trick! You think it's going to be a straightforward heavy rock number, but then... well, it's never what you expect.

This made me laugh from the Music Emissions review. Native American? I suppose that's the only genre Melvins haven't really delved into yet with the exception of the Lysol cover

[deatheats]

I don't know...there are some moments on Bootlicker that have a Native American feel.

[TheLegitMan93]

Don't forget "Chief Ten Beers".

[Smash the State]

Tangle it in the ends
Heart in hand
Lookin for the blood
Of the White Man
Lookin for the day
When I can be an Indian
After all this time
I get my revenge
But I, I aint no Indian
I have to kill
With what I can
Dream of their fall, dream of their death

has the rock a rolla review been posted yet? i hope not because i typed it all out after not finding the scan below readable enough for some of our older members. (i now feel like i wrote it myself.)

the third manifestation of the nth inacrnation of the thing known as melvins brings mostly refinement, but hints of revolution. half of the tracks continue in the principles established by the big business-enhanced line-up on (a) senile animal and nude with boots. for virgin ears, that means knotty, reptilian guitar lines, muscle-bound twin drum attack by dale and coady, and refreshingly inviting harmony-saturated vocals from buzz and jared.

the average tempo and pop saturation of melvins has increased significantly since the big business boys came to town. buzz's crispy latter-day guitar sound is even more sharp and sprightly, especially on the spiralling, companion pieces 'electric flower' and 'hospital up', the latter soaring oddly like jane's addiction if perry farrel were two burly men. however, the strongest tracks are the most anomalous and experimental. irresistible opener 'the water glass' starts out in a tangle of suitably crushing riffage, but gives way to few minutes' full metal jacket-style drill sergeant call and response. layered vocals and cavernous effects give super-heavy crawl 'i'll finish you off' a curious high church feel, and impression cemented by queasy, high-pitched vocals from menacing altar boys.

the highlight is arguably the treacle-paced version of the who's 'my generation', seemingly sung by a gang of muppet weasels in an anderson shelter. where the original was fuelled by brash hedonism, this sinister dirge resembles a recruitment anthem for sociopaths. as the riff cycles, ever slower and more distant, enveloped by muffled noise, it's diffcult to shake the feeling that your bathysphere has been cut loose and you're heading for the ocean floor. the closing 'pg x 3' is one of the band's strangest works - a surreal collage of suffocating drones, funeral a cappella folk, sensuous guitar resonance, and a lonely child reciting numbers in a hyperbanic chamber. beautifully balanced between anticipated and the aberrant, the bride screamed murder is the sound of melvins continuing to ignore your idea of what they're supposed to be.

I love Rock-A-Rolla, consistently excellent

Prior to hearing The Bride Screamed Murder from Melvins, I knew very little about the group. Now, after listening to The Bride Screamed Murder several times back to back to back, I know even less about them. I can say this, though . . . Melvins approach the creation of music unique to their own perspective, a perspective forged from the fires in the bellies of stars in solar systems light years away from what we may perceive as normal. That

Tangle it in the ends
Heart in hand
Lookin for the blood
Of the White Man
Lookin for the day
When I can be an Indian
After all this time
I get my revenge
But I, I aint no Indian
I have to kill
With what I can
Dream of their fall, dream of their death

the highlight of bootlicker imo.
black santa also has a native western feel to it.

"detuned guitar riff . . . all sludge-y and fat"

"dense onslaught of sludge toned guitars"

"That

I've never understood why everyone considers the band to be Sludge. Perhaps some earlier stuff like Hung Bunny, Boris etc but now??? When i hear the term "Sludge" i think of bands like Sourvein or Buzz-Oven or such. Never Melvins!
