It's too soon to say w/ Jared. If we're judging on one album, I'd rank him 4th. There's definitely promise for great things to come, tho.
While I like Thrones even more than the Melvins (or probably any band at this point), I think Joe's contributions to the band, though great, are overshadowed by the two guys that followed him. It comes down to Kevin and Mark D. Both had a comparable run with the band, and I think Mr. Moo was the best fit. When I saw his interpretation of Night Goat live, I was absolutely blown.
