Being a relatively new melvins fan), were there jaded fans back in the 90s even?
I don't know but since I've joined I've heard a ton of bitching about every release.
Seig Howdy - They need to fire Jello!
Houdini Live 2005 - The original is better! They need to fire Toshi! Trevor's bass tone sounds watery! They need to fire Trevor!
ASA - Although the least amount of bitching there was still a little bit.
NWB- It sounds like the exact same album as the last one (

)!, They need to fire Jared and Coady! They need to fire Toshi!
TBSM- They need to fire Jared and Coady! They need to do more doom songs because Mechanical Bride and Dog Island isn't enough! They need to hire Trevor!
Maybe there was just as much bitching in the 90's but there was no forum to document it.
