Bride Screamed Murder reviews

[MrLuck87]

  I often forget that some people think they peaked in the 90's. 

You can see Melvins topping Bullhead, Eggnog, Lysol, Houdini, Stoner Witch, Stag, Honky, Trilogy by 2020?

You are a very optimistic person..............

And I hope you're right.  

I think that H.A.T., POTRE, ASA, and NWB are on par with those albums.  Actually if I remember correctly most fans who post here thought H.A.T. was their best album.

People are so fickle.  Melvins have never done a metallica or a slayer or an ac/dc or an iron maiden for that matter so I will be a longterm follower.  If they decide to do a nu metal/carnival music fusion double album next time I'll still find something to love in there.  Melvins do not go stale.

BSM has been rolling on the car stereo in Schnabs rental car all the week i sunny france, and the verdict is that this a severly good record. Not a fan of the chants and stuff, but the highlights are so strong that it doesn`t matter. And, Dale should vocal more, Inhumanity or Death is awesome, allthough it`s too short. This record will also function live VERY well.

A buddy showed me how to shop I- tunes! . Downloaded it ( right word?) .  One listen so far.  Dig.  Give it 2 thumbs^!  Not a review necessarily, just an a-hole!

This is getting way off point. So I'll reiterate so that you can understand that we're actually kinda on the same page here: I'd be very happy if you're right and that between 2011 and 2020, Melvins produce 10 albums on par as those 90's classics. IE that they haven't peaked yet.

Anyway, back on topic.....my signed copy hasn't arrived yet - bet the postie flogged it

I'm sorry guys, but the Pitchfork review has it right.

However, if that all doesn't sound appealing to you, you'll probably hear The Bride Screamed Murder as an album full of unfinished sketches and lazy doodles masquerading as proper tunes. The digressions will either come off as failed experiments or unfunny jokes, a handful of good ideas undercut by either their context or their brevity.

The end of "Finish" is that. I cringe everytime I hear it. It feels like some juvenille joke that got left it. My Generation is lazy, and PG x 3 is a little bit of filler.

We get some great rockers out of Pighouse and Inhumanity, but overall.....ok amounts of meh.

LIke Nude or ASA, I like it, but I don't love it.

I guess Melvins will have one drummer less, and BB will need a new drummer.

I too, Dale must be on his own again. Dale doesn`t need others to accompany him, Dale manages fine by himself. Dale has to lower his standards just to let Coady hang with, Dales individuality is threatened. Coady must watch his back on this tour.

I like the diversity on this album, and don't necessarily want every song to be a full on rock fest (which is kind of what we got with ASA).
I really enjoy the albums that diverge and go into experimental areas and show the lighthearted side of the Melvins.  So I am very happy with the way this album turned out and its brought a smile to my face every time I've listened so far.

Anyone else notice how instead of separating the "joke" tracks out like they did say on Stag, they are incorporating them within the other songs (thus the 9 song tracklist instead of 13 or so)?

[GrimReaper]

I'm totally with you Deatheats.

Am I allowed to quote myself?

The album makes perfect sense after listening to it a few times. The harmonies are great, the guitars kick ass. The more I listen to it the more I like it.

TBSM is like a soundscape that gets better as it goes on culminating in the harmonies of P.G. X 3.
