album will arrive in two days. should i get some drugs while waiting for it? 

I used to be a big-time drugs and alcohol kind of guy. Been clean for years,
still enjoying the hell out of all new Melvins releases. Getting all of the subtle nuances.
I vote no. Now for an opposing viewpoint, I'll hand it over to Dumpster D! 

[Bro Hammer]

Um, Sorry m8 Im all hout of Bennies and Ludes.

But Im loaded full of beans if you need. 


most of you damn kids are too young to know about the bennies eh.

you DO realize Canada- otherwise known as North America (fuck you for calling us part of North america BTW you Yankee Dicks, and your history books SUCK too!) was home to the biggest Speed Racket back in the late 70s.

Why do you think PUNK music got FASTER AND FASTER from coast to coast almost overnight....Just connect the dots...er...dont say dots..Reminds me of Microdots and I dont think most kids here know about THOSE either. 

You should do more drugs.

I cant tell if youre being serious or Sarcastic here. 

Here in Melvins BBS land, green is considered sarcasm.
On topic, Barcelonian Horseshoe Pit is very much like a psychedelic trip to me. It's like you drop the tab at the beginning of the album by the time Brass Cupcake hit's is when you start getting giddy and then BHP is like peaking. By the time that song ends you have no idea what happened. It's almost like starting from a clean slate once OMtMTB starts. I'm still on repeat with this album. I can't get enough. I wish I could cook up some pure Melvins up and slam it.

[Dumpster D]

I deserved it for that History book remark Didnt I...

*Sigh*

Sorry, Canada is a sensative country.

Big brother is watching.

(Sorry about the American History book remarks, Just keep Darwin for me, Im living proof of De-evolution)



This album is cut clean and pure.

Heisenberg couldnt Touch The Chemists who cooked this batch of tunes. 

Adendum;

suffice to say this album leaves my ears ringing.. in a good way.

Its probably the most ambient album since COD IMO, theres sounds on their Ive only been able to imagine hearing. Things I cant Identify, Its a very Alien Album altogether, and Yet that is somehow Familiar space to me.

The Ambience and Noise on this thing Basically Confronts your awareness and overloads your sensory perception until youve forced to revert to a Relaxed State of pleasant Chaos, then the musical side does its work on your subconsious without you even knowing.

(I dont need to mention the Keyboard parts are very satisfying and work so beautifully in every way from a production standpoint to Just being a basic Aid to enhance the musicality of the thing, This is not a modern Album, it *SOUNDS* modern but a lot of what Im hearing on it goes back to about 1984 or older, Instruments Im hearing like pipe or reed organ, and maybe even a woodwind somewhere. and slathered in synth Gravy. Theres Vocoder and what I want to believe is the culmination of Just about every single Recording Technique Ive ever heard, not to mention all the different Instrumental Sounds the Melvins and buttholes have used over their Career span on different albums. )

I love how chaotical yet organized it appears in its entirety, Like a complete oxymoron, So Twisted in its beauty.

It comes on hard, and by the end, youre back to where you started again.

The amount of work and planning going into this was only executed through some kind of Zen like temperance.

Like this album has been 30 years in the making.

To me its almost like this is an album Throbbing gristle would have made *IF* they were more technically gifted musicians rather than simple factory hands..individual parts of a machine on an assembly line that make up a whole Just to increase work effort while cutting costs and making maximum profit margins by simple Mass production runs, Its coming through from both worlds, it lingers between Reality and surreal on a spiders thread that is tied to a psychological Web of entrapment.

Not to mention the Cars Influence on that early track, and I sadly confess butthole Surfers are alien to me as the bottom of the ocean. Im guilty of only owning Electric Larryland.

But some friends showed me their Other albums once and I was in love, almost like Ive been waiting to get into them because I know like a well balanced meal its good to savour every bite rather than gobble it down before you even tasted it.

Thats how much like life this whole *music* thing is to me right now at least.

Frank Zappa wasnt kidding around when he said music is a powerful force that could lead to * hamburger time.*

Theres ONE Disgustingly Killer Pinkus Bassline on a later Track that comes in and then Stops Just as the Drums Kick for that bassline and the Bass STOPS! and the drums keep that part going on Just drums without bass...*shakes head* Its like...!!! you bastards! You mad Bastards!!! You know how good you are!!!!!!!! and youre Just laughing at us all for being so puny and weak and simple minded that we will never quite put our fingers on Just what it is that makes you soo damn....Alive.


If you had to classify this album, Its a very complex Hybrid, and outwardly defies any said Laws or *rules* for pre-expectations of Music and sound.



..but I think Thats only my third or Fourth Listen so far.

I think that the Canada/U.S. border is the longest in a of North America.
I'll have to consult a map!

[Dumpster D]

Yeh, Who knows..

nothing personal against the US... just sick of Nationality and flags in general, its nice sometimes, but theres too much discrimination and divide between us all now.

I feel that Ive lost touch.

We are all Just people is what I meant.

[meezer]

No hard feelings. You like Darwin, don't sweat it. Ironically, he's our fastest growing religion.
Not going anywhere. 
This album plays like a superb soundtrack, with all three vocalists taking turns.
A soundtrack to what? I don't know. Also like a Sonic Youth record (3 vocalists).
