The last classic Melvins album was.....

[insert your pick]

Easy criteria being, if the Melvins announced they were doing a tour playing this album in full, you'd be ecstatic.

Senile Animal

Chicken Switch.

Bulls & Bees. I'm a broken record about this one.

Difficult to say. Im tempted to say it is '(A) Senile Animal'. Quite a few of the releases since then could be considered classic too though. 'Freak Puke' for instance would be a close call for me also. I mean, in a way i personally see each release as something notable and worthy of it's position in the grand scheme of their output. Something that reflects that particular era of the band and therefore "classic" in that sense too. Not strictly Melvins of course, but if including other things, i would say 'This Machine Kills Artists' is probably the most recent true classic.

Prick, or Colossus of Destiny...DuH

Before the Basses Loaded album, so Three Men And a Baby.

I'd they could actually play LOVE front to back I'd pay inflated prices. No joke. I love that record, in a somewhat masochistic way.

Upvote for TMKA. If the Melvins trio played it front to back that would be a true event.

HAT with B-Sides as encore

Or

Gluey Porch Treatments with 10 Songs as encore and the songs from Deep Six as encore 2

I want to see a tour with all new songs. Aside from that, I wouldn't mind a pigs otre tour.

The correct answer is Freak Puke. It's the last full-on classic Melvins album start to finish, not just Melvins w/ Trevor Dunn. Hold It In is great, but it feels like Melvins "w/ special guest Paul Leary" to me.

B&B is an EP
Love/Death is the current lineup, so classic? not yet.
PAT is half covers
Basses Loaded is all over the place.
Melvins83/Tres Cabrones is not a definitive lineup. Love the album, but seems almost like a side project, since it was never a touring band.

I would say A Senile Animal as well.

[John Schuller]

The Golden Age = Six Songs through Honky
The Silver Age = The Maggot through (A) Senile Animal

Those are the two classic eras for me.

[surfling]

The Golden Age = Six Songs through Honky
The Silver Age = The Maggot through (A) Senile Animal

Those are the two classic eras for me.

Yeah, I'd put it similarly.

But to be honest, I hardly ever listen to any album past H.A.T.

Any live recording from any era will work though!
