Also, is there any confirmation than Suicide In Progress and Billy Fish are going to be on the album?  I can only hope so (for the desire of a properly recorded and mastered version of each song), but with what I see of the recording process, they seem to fit in more with (A)SA and not whatever they're cooking up now.

It'll probably be like Let it All Be or We Reach where the live version  is more rocking with less crazy noises. Or they'll release those two on a limited 6'' available only in Bumfuck, Idaho.

You actually get a vague idea of what they're doing in the studio when you translate the japanese with a translator. 
It's interesting.

is there a way to translate it so it makes a little more sense?  i tried using the google "translate this page" and it is hard to understand.

I used google as well, but also this one:  http://dictionary.reference.com/translate/

I don't think it makes any more sense, the word order is still completely wrong, but you get an idea. I think I understood some bits. It's interesting, for example when it says something like "enormous experimental tune", it makes me curious.  Still I don't know if it's the correct translation.

yeah, i think i got the jist of it. 

i like when he said something like, "there has been a long time since noise, ever long time since kevin made noise, now there's noise."  great!

[ManWithNoName]

noise is good

as jacked-up as it sounds,  this is the most beautiful statement I've read in awhile.

the new MELVINS album is going to be a landmark in true MELVINS fashion.

Smash The State is a great noise EP.

They've been in the studio for way more than three days now. Let's hope those tunes don't go stale!

[anaconda]

funny but true, i wonder how my ears will react to the CD versions
of Suicide and Billy, after listening to them for the zillionth time on
live shows etc. it'll be killer i know it

[GrimReaper]

This is very exciting, like being in on the sessions.

I look forward to SIP.

buzz's vocals are creepy on it.  can't wait to hear what a few effects to do the vocal track. not to mention that "whispering right in your ear" sound that you don't get with the live version.

Well, that's a pretty cool Melvins pic.  Nice shirt, Dale.

But damn, where is Jareds hair?!

[norecess]

That's an awesome picture, they look legendary.

Jared looks bad ass.

[glen]

I can't tell where jared's eyebrows end and his hair line starts.

what a bunch of losers
