Next Melvins album?

[MailOrderBride]

Some time ago I was thinking about this and came to the conclusion in a way, the Melvins have always sounded like their bass players. What do you think?

I wholeheartedly agree.

The only thing we can count on for sure is that the artwork will be done by none other than Mackie. Sux 

They should let someone else pinch hit.

Do you think it sucks that mackie is the only one working on the artworks?  like there should be another artist joining in?

Or do you mean Mackie shouldn't do the artwork at all?!

Mackie IS melvins artwork.   its the way it should be.

Exactly. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

why wouldn't Buzz want his wife to make the money for the covers,
he said he works very closely with her to get his ideas across visually -
i don't see this changing ever.

[ManWithNoName]

melvins artwork is always a treat.

How can someone not like the HAT artwork? It's fucking amazing.

Agoraphobic Nosebleed lists Florian Bertmer as the artist right along with the guitar, bass, etc... a great idea, which sort of seems like how Mackie relates (professionally) to the Melvins.

Why should their artwork be any different than their music? Would you guys be stoked if they kept putting out albums that sounded like Bullhead? My guess is probably not.  You like each album to be DIFFERENT, no?

I'm just saying, change it up. Let another artist create the artwork for their next album. I get tired of Mackie's "clipart combined with words from the lyrics in cursive fonts in the background" approach. Totally one-dimensional.

P.S. I love the HAT artwork! Are you kidding me?  That's not really the point I'm trying to make.

Album covers like Bullhead and Lysol are great. Mackie didn't have much at all to do with those
and Lysol is a reproduction of a reproduction of a mass produced period painting.

hopefully they will make a bad ass mix tape like all the  gangta rappas do..   what the hell is a mixtape anyways?? i just landed on BET  and saw some guy talkin about the "PHAT" mix tape he just came out wit. word to your mutha 

[steveybabes]

So if they do indeed go on a massive Australian tour .... when will they squeeze in studio time for the next album ?

Buzz didnt meet Mackie until around 1994, so...
