I haven`t sneekprelistened to this album as I did with the previous, the only impressions I got is via Youtube where a chap has laid out
Dog Island and The Savage Hippie:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnA9mzVmLC4http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBPlztyaYuE&feature=relatedPlus of course Billy Fish and Suicide in Progress. (of course, on Amazon f.ex they have 30 seconds clip of each song)
My impression: Promising, a bit in doubt as I always am with music I end up to like after some listening-rounds. One thing I miss though, is a song where Buzz sings all by himself, not with multiple voices overlapping him. The multivoicingthing sounds really good, but I really would like to hear Buzz dominate some tracks totally on his own.
Melvins aren`t unfamiliar with this layer of voices-thing from the earlier albums, but it seems like the bacground-vocals are more dominant after Big Business entered. It could be that I`m totally wrong, and feel free to arrest me.
Although I only heard 30 second clips, the two songs that caught me was The Smiling Cobra and The Stupid Creep.
I`m pretty sure the record will be a monster to hear live.
