Big fan of Carpe Diem, love it. Best Friend and a few others are great first time round.

Buzz's guitar sounds like its stuck on the bridge pickup though a pocket amp though.

I only really notice that on Attitude.

Apparently the folks at the LA Times agree with you.

Finally picked this up a few days ago...had only heard a few snippets prior.

I have to admit its pretty damn good....only one i find weak is Timothy Leary Lives...

Station to Station and the Roxy cover are fucking genius.
looking forward to the 30th anniversary tour.

only one i find weak is Timothy Leary Lives...

it's... fun. and I totally get the hommage.     but MELVINS are capable of so much more than simplistic punk. 
if I had but one complaint it would be the simplicity of a couple of the tracks.  MELVINS make a deep, rich, god-awful noise.
80's punk is 3 chord and somewhat... what's the word...   happy?

someone else said it best though when they stated (loosely quoted): nobody covers a song like MELVINS cover a song.  so there is a value added.   I'm still listening hard and heavy.

I must admit amazon is really fast with the international orders since they're working now with DHL in the standard international shipping option. My copy arrived yesterday (less than a week).

I think the whole album is awesome. They always do great cover songs no matter how weird or silly they are.
I really like Warhead, but Station to Station is definitely the highlight for me.

"Black Betty" shouldn't be on this album because it's not actually new.

If the Melvins were your band you could make those decisions. yeah?

You realize that a melvins fan can have an opinion different than yours, yeah?

Of course dumbass. What I am saying is that the decision is not yours but the MELVINS. Maybe YOU can start your OWN band and make those decisions.

Bought this today...Finally,  for the reasonable price of 14.99 actually. I was paying MORE THAN double that for Albums like the Crybaby etc..back in the day, so thats a welcome change, CD stores must be real real desperate...thank god for the melvins in that sense for keeping music alive in one way or the other. I mean its thoughtful of them, for guys like me who cant afford the Pricier Limited stuff they produce, its great to have the best of both worlds.


as for the record itself;

great collection of Music, its as Diverse soundwise as it is in style.

they could have made Heathen Earth the length of the whole Album and I would have been pretty satisfied! I Really Love That Gristleizer Bias Sweep!!! In my oppinion the melvins could do justice to a whole exlusive Album of Pure TG covers and it would be insane. Actually they could do an entire albums worth for every cover on this and it would be worth the effort. mmm.

Melvenom. 

Its a bit of departure from what people expect and I think that is a key point of interest for me,  and that clears the air a bit in a sense, for something up and coming.

Im enjoying it a lot, and very happy of course and proud of them as always.

Really good work, god knows how I feel about this peice of plastic in my hands right now.

So I've been able to give this a couple of spins now and apart from a few tunes I think it's pretty damn cool. For me The Fugs tune is where it's at.

Warhead would've been cool too if it had a different vocalist.....I can't stand that type of vocal.....no offence to Kelly.....BUT........I just can't stand that type of vocal......it's the reason Shrinebuilder didn't kick as much ass as it could've for me.

That's fun because I pre-ordered it in April and I'm still waiting for it. Don't know if I have to buy it somewhere else or to wait for it...
