Mike and The Melvins - Three Men and a Baby to be released.

Do you do a similar thing with DVDs? I actually have no idea if you (or anyone) still buy DVDs though.

I'm just surprised that Ian bought it after his lackluster reviews. So you didn't like Hold It In that much, but you bought it. Now this one? How horrible do these albums have to get in order to get you to stop buying them?

I've wondered that myself before too. I chalk it up to the power of this place. Hearing all the talk here probably acts on my brain like advertising! I feel like i want to own it. If i wasn't a member here i probably wouldn't have bothered. Having said that i will say my opinion of this record has risen a bit. Just today listening to the CD i thought to myself "hmm im enjoying this". But then i think we all get that response a bit more through stereo speakers than from some MP3 stream through a laptop.

The real test for me is driving around listening to it with no obligations or anything else on my mind. More songs after the first two are starting to click.

I would have guessed for profiling purposes. The same reason I keep a couple of truly awful albums.

So..................Lifestyle Hammer, how grimy is that bass? It's brutal.

This is a strange album, thought it was pretty mediocre and could've been an EP at first but I've just spun this thing the last month and can't get enough of it. Not the biggest fan of a few tracks still but the drums and bass just sound too good. Can anyone else here Cow's Sorry In Pig Minor influence on Gravel - "ladyboy lives here" sounds very much like that era.

my curiosity is, why?  i mean, that is some art-work made by an artist and you are into art from what i know...so why?

A few factors really. It saves space but im really bad for wanting things just right or uniform. It always used to irritate me when I brought a new CD and then a few months or even weeks later you see the booklet start to fray a little or tear or the colour naturally fades over time. After a few years i found that too depressing. Just keeping the CD itself there is none of that. An old CD looks just like the day i brought it. Also, it annoys me with a collection how some albums are in jewel cases and some in cardboard or different sized packages. I like things all the same. It's like when i was a kid and used to collect console or Transformers magazines. If after a while the makers changed the font or the size of the magazine it really used to annoy me. I do like art a great deal, but often i find album art is terrible. If i like the art to an album i usually just download an image of it online. That way it never degrades!

Perhaps in a past life, but certainly not in this one.

Ha ha ha. I knew a guy who was really into Mike Patton about ten years ago that did the exact same thing as you.

After several listens Gravel & Art School Fight Song are my faves. Annalisa is a great cover too. Artwork/package on the loser vinyl is outstanding. Vinyl isn't of the greatest quality, but fair enough.

what a great tune. pure Rutmanis sound. still not sure who's singing on that

[POOP GRENADE]

This would be by far the best godheadSilo record.

I favor it compared to other Melvins collaborations, like with Jello and Hank III, and the artwork will help keep it in rotation.  But it is hardly fitting among Melvins' best work, especially during the period that it was recorded.

Buzz has said these songs are mostly forgotten but it would be cool if they ever add Chicken N Dump to the setlist.

[jules]

hey meezer, is that the regular edition on CD? I hope not (I'm not a big fan of digipaks).

8/10, but wish it was a jewel case.

The jewel cases are out there.

[meezer]

Love me some jewel cases! 

[))))((((]

Love me some jewel cases!

I could have given you about a hundred of them over the past 5 years!
