Sigh, yes, they do keep doing that. Meh.

BUT Notes & Hot Takes:
Inner Ear Rupture is a cover of Eruption by Van Halen. Also the 2nd song on the Van Halen record. So that makes sense but I get someone not digging it.
Embrace The Rub is actually a GREAT song IF the (imo) dreadfully-placed* Stop Moving To Florida* is removed and becomes the start to PAT*
Best Friends should be a 7" exclusive track, left there along with SMTF... collector fool material (guilty of loving hunting finding having records with exclusive tracks).
You Can Make really works better in the revised track order.

* I love PAT. It's a Fantastic action record IF ya start the rec at ETR.  S/MTF is a meh take on both songs, they're not terrible (MTF could be way better than it is, tho, tbh) -why they're together in this form and title...??- they're really un-interesting takes of those songs to be starting a fine record like PAT with. 🤷‍♂️
Again better left for 7"s.

Whew doggy, hot take city. Haha!

I find "You Can Make Me Wait" disrupts the awesomeness early on.
I totally agree. That tactic quite often seems to be something of a Melvins thing lately - put an unexpected (sometimes naff) song as track 2.
What a fabulous room. Are all these your guitars?

I like the three Paul Leary tracks on the album! Being spread out at tracks 2,6,&10 seemed like a good choice to me.

Are there songs missing from this vinyl? Like Basses Loaded, it goes cheaper than most Melvins vinyl. At 54 minutes it is long for a record...

I think it is just the final track 'House Of Gasoline' that isn't on the vinyl. Probably that one since it is the longest of the bunch.

eyes on you and house of gasoline are missing on the ipecac vinyl version. they are included on the amrep 10" bride of crankenstein.

Never noticed that. Wow, how insulting. Ditch "You Can Make Me Wait" and "Eyes on You," fade a bit of "House of Gasoline" if you really have to perhaps.

I guess that's still better than the Basses Loaded vinyl fiasco.

Most of the missing basses loaded tracks on ipecac are available on amrep 10inches.... I think only the track with Krist is not available anywhere on vinyl...
The melvins should include it as a b-side if they ever go back to releasing 7inches.

I think this record might be among the finest they did in a last decade, easily holds up really well.

On the whole yeah, i just don't like the Leary tracks. Kick them to the curb and we have one great Melvins album!

Absolutely on of the best late period Melvins records. It's got a good fistful of core Melvins tunes. It gets weird but in a fun way. And it's got Paul's fucked up headspace to boot.
