i like the liner notes from all of the re-issued records. for me, it adds a little perspective to the whole thing, which i enjoy.
everytime i listen to 26 songs i picture a young dale beating up a beat up drum kit with heads caved in like soup bowls and recording a revolutionary style of drumming that had never been done (to my knowledge). it's fascinating to me. and that's just the drumming! i won't start on buzz's songs or guitar playing.
i guess it makes me appreciate the melvins even more, if that's possible.
