Melvins/Fant

[Chief Ten Beers]

they liked it, they gave it **** out of 5

Yeah, I know. That's a classic where Dale/Buzz rate their albums. My post was directed at the newbie who started this thread.

i think the CD is pretty damn good.  grant it i'm not crazy about Mike Patton screaming on some of the songs, but i think it's a  pretty strong record.  instrumentally this album is brutal, they add a lot of little parts to songs.  i love the parts added to "The Bloat".  i agree with Dudbean though, i always forget i have this album.

i dont mind that cd, that version of mombius hibachi is much better except pattons screaming in the first half but the second part i like better because that riff isnt all wahy or whatever. i think i will take the first part from the studio version and the second from the fantomas melvins one and put them into one song to make the ultimate version of it  .

[the bloat]

I agree that's it'd kind of a retarded album and I almost never throw it on. However, I do love the song titles. Ripping Chicken Meat. Musthing with the Funts. She's A Puker. All great band names.

[klump]

that version of Black stooges is INSANE.
When I listened to the origingal version afterwards it was almost like it missed something.
but they are both great renditions of the song.
but they could merge the two versions, that would be great.

that version of Black stooges is INSANE.

Agreed. That and Skin Horse are the highlights on Monsterworks, for me.

i liked it but then again, im not a patton hater like most people on this forum

This is a snap shot of  our favorite band was at the turn of the century. It just so happened that they planned on recording a live set for us. Something different. As Dale says they are driving. That's what it is. A live recording documenting the Melvins at the turn of the century. Where were you? I can't remember where I was for fucks sake. I bet if I said I had a bootleg of the Melvins at the turn of the century, with Mike Patton and the Fantomas boys, everyone would be looking for a trade. It was a planned documentation, and I love it for what it is.

I'm relatively new to Melvins. I knew Hooch and Queen from way back when I was a kid so I have to thank Mike Patton for making me delve deeper and buy their albums. I bought Millenium Monsterworks and then proceeded to buy Honky, Hostile Ambient Takeover, Stag, Houdini and all the albums that contained songs from Millenium. So was it not a good introduction? I've since bought loads of their albums. I still need Gluey and Bootlicker and Prick and Electroretard but I'm still absorbing all their other stuff. Anyway Millenium Monsterworks is not a bad album. It just does'nt sound live i.e no audience cheers or speech from the band but musically it's excellent and I think Patton really adds to some songs.

[Branch Breaker]

Patton adds to some songs but becomes distracting on others. I have a few audio bootlegs of the big band and I like them a lot more than the Monsterwork.

[tom_exorcisto]

the Monsterwork record i haven't listened to in a loooong time.   it's not awful or anything, i just don't like what patton does so i'd rather listen to live melvins tracks instead.  the cover art is pretty cool.

[Dr Geek]

I like this album, but it would be a lot better if the sound quality was just a little better. You usually can't tell there are two basses or drums, unlike say, Divorced. The other day I downloaded all the other songs from that show that were left off the CD and they are pretty kickass too. They opened with a great version of Sacrifice.

[the bloat]

If some of you have forgotten about this CD and haven't listened to it in a while, I suggest you throw it in and take another listen. I am listening to it right now and it is awesome. The best part is Buzz's guitar work and how every song is so fucked up. I always forget about this one, but its a good one to listen to when I want to take a breather from (a) senile animal.

Check it.
