I picture Legit having a seizure while writing that post.

why,because it's too jazzy?

but besides the song i love the SOUND. very unusual for the melvins yet familiar. great album!

I was getting this vibe too. But then again, Melvins aren't really a singles band anyway, they excel at the album, as an art-form.

I made a post along the lines of 'best thing they've done in years, the last few albums have been too samey' on the thread on their Facebook page, and it got deleted. Some other guy made a comment about the crap guitar tone, also deleted.

Dissent not tolerated.

the first 5 songs are very interesting. experimental and weird just as I suspected and I wanted

The rest of the album is too "classic hard rock" that they really like but not so much to me

However, even these songs (from 6 to 10) are good songs, and certainly better than what's out there...

Listen to the bass lines, are brilliant!!

If no ones posted this link yet you can listen to the whole album here....

I don't see why some of you just don't listen to it already.

I don't get it either. But this phenomenon is not just relegated to Melvins fans. There are a lot of people that like to crumple and fetish the artwork and read liner notes/lyrics during the first listen to an album. This kind of fandom is something I totally get, being the kind of guy who always listens to full albums, and not one to put his ipod on shuffle.  But when it is right there, to listen to, guilt free; it doesn't make much sense to me.

Nah for me it's the fact that I have shitty speakers on my computer, I could play it off of the internet through my PS3 and play it through the A/V system, but it still isn't my stereo, so I wanna wait for something I can play through that. I'm gonna buy it anyway, so want to listen to it first time through a decent system, afterwards a shit will not be given how I hear it, 2 tin cans and a bit of string or through a virgin otter's cloaca...
