Hey guys, I'm new to this board, but I am a big Melvins fan.  Well, not as big as a lot of you guys, but they do officially rank as my second favorite band (after the Ramones) and I do have about a half dozen of their albums (started with Stoner Witch, my fav has to be the Maggot).

Anyway, my question with the new album is this:  How is the content?  I don't mean if its good or not (I know its good, I've read nothing but praise for it so far, plus its the Melvins!!!), but I mean like swearing, objectionable content, that sort of thing.  I know the Melvins were never really big on that (for which I am thankful), but I generally don't get a CD untill I either know the lyrics or have a good idea of the content level.  I know a lot of the lyrics have been posted on the lyrics board, but I don't think the whole album is there yet.

So I'm asking for your help.  Is there any swearing/other content I should be aware of before buying it?

Thanks.

i'm pretty sure there isn't, al.
unless you object to, "she helping remove the bullets from my leg.  she took the blade -cut them out while i lay bleeding (screaming?)"
it is in a fairly happy sounding song.

buy it!

Oh, thats no big deal.  Honestly, I'm more concerned with swearing/themes of demonism and or satanism.

But the Melvins were never about the dark, mystic kind of metal.  For which I am happy.

But if the "bullets from my leg" song is the worst on there, I will be picking it up post haste!

Good for you. No, there are no objectionable lyrics on A Senile Animal. The Melvins for the most part do not contain any profanity within their lyrics. I believe that Buzz one time has stated in an interview that he did not want any "ugly" parental advisory stickers on his albums.

Fantastic!  Thanks guys.  I personally prefer when artists try to actually write words for their songs instead of just filling them with swears.

On a side note, would there ever have to be a parental advisory on the Melvins if they're on an indie label?  I don't think Ipecac (or other, similar sized record companies) is bound by those laws, right?

I bought Bullhead from Walmart. I know Wal-Mart has a policy against that kind of stuff so if they wanted their albums stocked there, they would have to comply with having a sticker on their albums if they contained profanity and other subversive material.

You bought Bullhead... AT WAL-MART!!!

You have an awesome Wal-Mart!

I've had to buy every Melvins album I own either from an indie music shop 20 miles from my home or online.

I mean, I might have expected one of their Atlantic albums to be stocked at a Wal-Mart somewhere, but Bullhead!!!  Cool!
