Melvins Lite - Freak Puke

[(the) flutter nuts]

i find as with every new album with the bb guys the duel drumming has become quite alot more different with the two of them doing different things as opposed to playing the same thing together , much more weirder and technical

[Mad Arab]

Oh, don't get me wrong. I love the duel drumming and even though I don't play drums, I know that doing it must be very challenging and it testifies to Dale and Coady's talents. But with this said, I would like to hear each one playing different things to make it seem like there is a four armed drummer flailing on the skins.

Perhaps on the next album they could alternate. One song by Dale, the next by Coady and so on. That's actually something a bit typically askew i could imagine the band doing.

bah!! what do u know, you like Ministry's Relapse album!!!!! 

Huh? I haven't heard it yet.

Ok, well you liked the concept of liking it based on the reviews!

Its ok, dissenting voices are a good thing. I was getting a wee-bit nervous that there was no one disputing the quality (or lack there of) of Freak Puke.

Freak Puke is more to the true form of Melvins weirdness and jamming than what they have done in recent years. This is not in anyway denigrating their releases with Coady and Jared I like them too. But being a long time fan, Freak Puke is more of what I am used to coming from them.

The only thing I would like to see coming from the dual drumming of Dale and Coady is more independent drumwork rather than both doing the same thing. If you are just going to do the same thing always, then whats the point of having two drummers?  Play around with right channel and left channel sweeps to really mess around with headphone users or listening on stereos and mp3 players.  There is just so much you can do with two drummers than playing in sync the same things.

from what i've seen at the live shows i got the impression coady and dale don't play the same thing for a great majority of the material they wrote together. for pre-big melvins songs they play the same as each other more, but i like the way they do that with some new things here and there. they mess with the stereo, too. for example in the drum duel at the beginning of we are doomed you can hear one drummer on one side and the other on the other side.

Thats just it, though. This album IS quality!

Yes I agree.

It generally takes me 6 months or so to decide how much I like a MELVINS album, but I'm taking to this one pretty quickly. Just streamed it for the second time and really enjoyed it.

Not sure what that means. Nude With Boots took me a relatively long time to get into but I've really grown to like it. It's one of my favorite 7 or so MELVINS albums. I took to The Bride Screamed Murder right away, and I like it, but I don't find myself reaching for it so much. I knew within 30 seconds that The Maggot was gonna wind up one of my favorites. (a) Senile Animal, also a favorite, took some time.  We'll see how Freak Puke stays with me, but I'm already pretty sure it's the album of the year.

Exactly the same for me there too.

Surprisingly I really liked it the first time I heard it. I'd have it in my top 5 Melvins albums but still think HAT is far and away their best album.

You mean The Maggot right?

I thought he meant Stoner Witch.
