I have this version of that 7".
It is true... wrong labels only. Melvins is going blind and mudhoney is here comes sickness and sweet young thing.
Thanks for mentioning though, would not have remembered!

Just got my cheapy CD, and getting ready to play it. The new song is 8mins long. That and Sails are the two I am most excited to hear.

Tell us more! How do the other tracks sound? 

[))))((((]

I wondered what they would do with it after speeding it up significantly on Five Legged Dog.

[Colonel Cheese]

I listened to it through headphones. It sounds very big overall. I liked all the tracks and better feeling is great and long 7 mins or something. the sails song i hadn't heard the original yet but was very fun and bouncy. already started my second play this morning on the way to work. but yeah, im going to try and get the vinyl on sunday. it slots very well with the mudhoney release and the sabbath release. out of those three it is going to be hard for me to pick a favorite. and i would say that after all the years of build up to this split/big band release....it definitely lives up to how i've hyped it up for myself in my head over the years.
4 out of 4 stars. two thumbs up.

had more thoughts as it turns out...
about better feeling one of the things that stood out was the vocal melody/harmonizing stuff that has been a feature of the new melvins sound since like 2017. i thought it was really cool to hear that come through even though they added a whole other band on this one, and it had me wondering who is playing on this record exactly. is steven shane mcdonald on it? i think so. but overall the vocals continue to be a stand out for me on these new melvins releases.

The song that you're referring to is actually a Buzzo track called Useless King of the Punks. They just used the lyrics from At the Stake on FLD. Just sayin'

I think there is an element of that. But honestly i tried it. I listened to the regular At The Stake and speeded it up significantly on YouTube and it does sound a lot like the FLD version. Although i agree it does bare a similarity to that solo Buzzo track. I think Stallion said on here before about a connection between the two. So they are probably more connected than many may know.

Yeah, I agree. The two songs already released are good, but for me Bitter Feeling and Sails are easily the two stand outs. Bitter Feeling, along with the great vocals, has a nice guitar noodle ending. Much enjoyed.
I can't figure out who is singing Sails, but they did a really good cover musically of that Uli Jon Roth era Scorps song.
