Bad Mood Rising

I wonder:

1- If releasing this on Am Rep was a gift/thank you to Haze knowing that financially a new non-limited album is a big deal.

2- Also a good way to audit how many people are guaranteed to seek out a new album.

This would be a good question for a future interview. I imagine the move had a lot to do with ipecac's constant fuck ups and lack of quality control.

so funny because ipecac's issues continue... the dead cross records have a skip in the colored variants. hilarious.

[Mount Ambulance]

Haven't really been following along as of late ... still all that wonder how/where/when this is/or isn't getting a wide release? Just picked up the jewel case at my local record shop ... dropped yesterday. Too bad they didn't have the the Dead Cross too.

Haze is so good about shipping etc. He's also really cool in person and seems to appreciate it when you're interested in his art and what he does. I'm glad it's on Am Rep. I love Ipecac, but we need all the cool labels we can get.

I wish we had some band chat about this album. It seems like ages since the last interviews and it's been surprising that they haven't promoted it a little with a few via video or in text form.

I'd love to see some footage of how they work things out in the studio and practice. Especially from the HAT era.

[Afterbirthmilkshake]

very interesting album: the melvins have settled into enjoying themselves among the modern evil, and have captured the mood

many albums are good but don't capture the elbow of the earth.

i learned what "good albums" are, now. it's not just musicianship, vibe and originality. you also need to tame new regions of the ether and distill a sitcom about life there.

BMR has a deep, mystical blend of advanced musical vibes, some reminiscent of earlier eras of the discography, but repurposed. notes of HAT, ASA, and honky are folded in, honorably

great infusion of classic rock, mixing with the other elements.

nice production. some subtly perfect sounds, in there

This sounds like me after morning coffee. I agree that there's some subtle beauty in this one. There is in all of them I guess.

It might be fun to pick apart the sections that call back feelings from other albums.

I received the CD yesterday and it's funny, I thought there was not going to be a silence between Mister Dog and Never Say You're Sorry but in fact there is one, clearly the lack of a silence was made for the vinyl only, which I kind of like it more since it makes Never Say You're Sorry more powerful.

That is one of the things i was interested in. I thought i had heard the album without a break between those two songs. Like yourself, i prefer it that way too. I've just been listening to the YouTube stream so i've got used to having a break as it switches to the next song.

My first experience was also on YouTube but from someone who uploaded the vinyl edition, that's why my surprise when I listened to the CD for the first time and noticed the break/silence between the two songs.

a friend of mine, huge fan, after listening to BMR just told me he misses the "sickness" in Melvins recent music.what do you think?

[Nizamark]

sickness of course being subjective, one could argue that bmr has more sickness than other recent releases

I'd like to know what he meant by "sickness". Did he mean sick in terms of meaty, heavy riffs or maybe the music sounding a bit more unhinged and menacing? I absolutely miss both! Going forward i hope they ditch the poppiness and jokiness and stick more to the Mr Dog, Never Say vibes.

Yeah, not much to go off of here. Maybe he means "sic" as in spelling incorrect? I love BMR front to back. I've had that orange splatter spinning on my turntable for two months solid.
