all the songs you know and love, just slightly less awesome
Of the songs released so far (plus the ones on Slithering Slaughter) i've heartily enjoyed them all. There hasn't been anything that made me dislike them or consider them less than the originals. Just a bit different and yet still cool. I think there is room enough for these to exist in as well. I mean, anyone who doesn't like the acoustic takes on these songs still has the old originals to go back to if they wished. It's win, win to me!
I liked the suggestion in that recent Revolver interview that it would be good material to have on a long drive
Yes, it also made me think of the record like a movie. I mean most of us would be willing to sit and watch a 2.5 hour movie. But still, i do have a few reservations about putting out THAT much material as one record. I guess i will find out how i feel about that once and for all when i hear the full thing. But for now i do think perhaps it would have been better to have a Part 1 & Part 2.
I actually kinda wish they had put out 1 CD of the older songs and 1 CD of brand new Melvins songs done acoustically. That would have been cool. Perhaps a new album of all acoustic material may surface at some point down the road. I sincerely hope so anyway.
