Melvins Lite - Freak Puke

[Dan_Halen]

These better be some damn amazing autographs!

I've got bad news for you my friend.   

it's basically "DALE"  "DUNN" and "BUZZ"   and if you can tell one from the other you have earned your rightful ranking in the MELVINS fandom hierarchy.

but the good news is you get 2 booklets.  the signed one loose and then the packaged cd.

Whats in the booklets? Extra artwork/lyrics? I now feel I shortchanged myself just buying the CD, but I wanted to avoid the disappointment that lots of folks are feeling who are still waiting on the CD days after the release.

Side Note: FUCK that AV Club review. That shit really grinds my gears!!! It basically sounds like it is written by someone thought the  Houdini and California albums were gonna fuck and give birth to an awesome baby! I'm sure the person only listened to it once or twice. If you want some candy coated bullshit like Nickelback you can listen once,but Melvins Lite is like a fine wine that gets better with age and is appreciated more and more over time. Melvins lite is like the solid spruce top on the guitar you just bought, you gotta let that puppy age and it will sound better and better over time. Every day I listen to the CD I appreciate it more in a different way and notice things I didn't notice before. Last piece of my anger driven rant...fuck anyone who uses the word "muddily" in a review. /end rant

That was pretty cool of them, that way you have one suitable for framing...

DALE - top right
BUZZ - bottom right
DUNN - bottom left

hence your status as fan #27 on "the list".   

I know who's is who's although they do look similar.  I was kidding.  I do that sometimes.

i tend to ignore the music side of the AV club, especially when it comes to anything metal or related. they just either bandwagon on bad hipster metal or black/death metal and ignore the good stuff. the fact that this got a bad review is a good sign in my opinion....

I picked up the CD today. I love all the cool insects in the album booklet. Has anyone been able to deciper that long message in cursive written above the insects?

I was looking at that when I first opened it.. My first thought was "I wonder who will be the first person on the Forum to decipher that" 

[jonE5]

Speechless.

Last time I was this stoked about a MELVINS release was H.A.T.
Tommy goes beserk is so refreshing.  the entire release is sooo nice
and quiet then the build up...

simply clean and heavy. The vocals are all over the place in a pure way.
Dales talents shine. 

I remember seeing the first show of MELVINS lite in San Diego.  The set was
strong.  Mostly MELVINS covers w/ Trevor fuckin shit up in a awesome way.
Never would have thought the new stuff would sound so MELVINS!!

Way to go MELVINS
thanks for the songs..

I woke up to find my Signed copy in the mailbox.. Today Will be a good day 

where do you live jonE5? that might give me a better idea on when to expect mine

I'm in Upstate NY (Closer to Boston than you.. I'd guess that you got yours today)

My guess is its the lyrics to "Freak Puke". Perhaps someone with a magnifying glass can figure it out.

its written backwards. In true SNIVLEM fashion.
or isn't it?


BTW: I dig the string buzz that gets picked up on the bass mic.

[Euthanasia]

mine also got delayed and the site where i ordered it says they don't have a date when the can send me it. but on the website it still says 3 to 4 workingdays since i ordered it on the 14th of may. And i still haven't listened to it

Anyone else in the UK got an email from Amazon overnight saying:

We regret to inform you that the following items have been delayed as we are still awaiting stock from our suppliers :

Melvins "Freak Puke"
   Estimated arrival date: June 19 2012 - June 23 2012

?

Myself and a friend got the same mail.  Not the first time an Ipecac release has failed to arrive in the UK on time recently 

I haven't received this message yet but I fully expect to. Every new U.S. release I've ordered from amazon.co.uk has been delayed, I suspect it's policy to inform the buyer after the release date otherwise they'd go elsewhere. I can wait a few more days. Adds to the suspense.

It's lightly cheaper via other sellers on Amazon. I might get it from there. Possibly.

Nice tip, I've just cancelled my proper Amazon order and re-ordered through an American reseller with it in stock, saving myself

the album does kinda sound like Honky, but much more accessible!  And some of it kinda sounds like Stoner Witch. 

[JUDY]

Oh! Oh! Oh! It's here! Horrah!

its written backwards. In true SNIVLEM fashion.
or isn't it?

Indeeed. That's what it looks like. I'll try to crack the code whilst slacking off at work tonight.
I'm hoping for an anagram or two as well. That'll keep me busy.

And now.... It's FINALLY time to slam this thing into my ears

[(PAUL)]

It is indeed written backwards. I don't remember what it said but I think it was lyrics to songs.
