Nude With Boots

[Chomas]

respectfully disagree kind sir

lots of sound gaps and pops and stuff that is annoying, especially at the beginiing of billy fish and dog island (awesomeness)

[Chomas]

on a side note:

saw Buzz yesterday in LA and I told him I though NWB was totally awesome,

he immediately slapped me and my wife with his driving gloves,

and then he spit on our baby while screaming "leaks are for assholes"

respectfully disagree kind sir

I see where I rank.   I get a "respectfully disagree",  idlehanz gets a "get fucked you blithering moron!"          

I likes me some change&.


and as for leaks,  my asshole would like to respectfully disagree kind sir.

Buzz has repeatedly stated that the internet should be left alone to lead a life of it's own. Leaks or no leaks.

Melvins albums are very polished these days, a lot of people miss that raw part I guess.

NWB fits more in the in-between category.  ie the maggot.   it has pieces of the entire MELVINS catalog but its not like any other MELVINS album.    and this my friends, is why its a success.

The wise man has spoken! I think you, glenman, are right on the money. Every song seems to have its own vibe while remaining very nudewithbootsish... if that makes any sense.

Before the record came out I thought that billy fish and suicide in progress were very similar tracks but now I see that they are two completely different beasts.

I wonder if the melvins changed the name of real fucking nasty to the savage hippy in order to avoid having a parental guidance tag on the album...

to me MELVINS albums have been polished ever since they signed with Atlantic.  a brief interlude during the AmRep days and back to somewhere in-between on Ipecac.

Completely agree. I hear a little bit of everything from just about all of their albums on this release. If anything, this album should (in a perfect world) satisfy everyone, but no matter what there will always be people that will be unsatisfied with it.

Dale is the computer fan, isn't he?

Ipecac's got Nude with Boots up on their discography page. Guess the art's official now.

Check this out, someone posted this on stonerrock.com:

Listen to Dies Iraea, then listen to:

The Melvins rock stuff is better than their noise stuff.  Honestly I don't think they'll put out much noise records anymore because it's simply not fun for them to play it live.  They probably never even played Mark D's stupid song "Lacrimosa" (from the Stag album) or "Sterilized".

That's pretty much the opposite of what Buzz and Dale say about that.  They love the noise and they love making it. Rest assured, they will go there again.

I'm not just a fan of both the noise stuff and the rock stuff, I'm a fan of the fact that they do both. I don't think either side of the coin would be as great without the other. I also honestly don't think the two sides are as far apart as others seem to take them.  The rock stuff is noisey and weird as hell too, and the noise stuff has the same power and drama they put into the rock.

I THOUGHT IT SOUNDED JUST LIKE WENDY CARLOS' OPENING TO THE SHINING TOO!
it sounds exactly like it.
very cool and creepy

man, y'all were snoozing on this issue, check my earlier post in this thread about "dies iraea" which is a thirteenth century hymn, don't know why the melvins have spelt it that way, it's traditionally "dies irae", namely, day of wrath/judgement.  probably most famously (and perhaps first ?) appropriated by hector berlioz in his 1830 "symphonie fantastique", also used by other folks, notably, as i mentioned in my previous post, wendy carlos on the shining soundtrack. i believe also penderecki (who figures heavily on the shining soundtrack) has done something with it at some point but i am not certain.

minor point, but yeah.  also i agree with whoever it was said that there is a morricone flavor going on. ultimately i think it is the weakest track, a confusing choice, at this point pretty well-trodden territory... for instance brian daniloski's (who was in meatjack, y'all might remember them from that 'we reach' tribute record that came out a while back, they did something off of "stoner witch") solo thing, darsombra, did much more interesting take on it, probably four or five years ago... etc.

That sounds quite plausible actually. I think the last thing they want to have on their album is a tag like that.

On a related note, I've noticed that cd stores don't really seem to get the whole cover artwork on the back thing. They always put Melvins albums on the shelves showing the front (back) of the cd, where the tracklist and stuff is. And yeah, I'm the kind of person who corrects that mistake everytime again. Oh well..

Ha ha!  That's funny.  I do the same thing at my local record shop when I peak in the Melvins section.  The other funny thing is that in Seattle they get listed in the Local section, even though they never were a Seattle band.  I guess with the Biz boys in the band they're closer than they ever have been to being a Seattle band, but those guys moved to LA to join, so still not really a Seattle band.  It's really even a further stretch than calling Nirvana a Seattle band.

respectfully disagree kind sir

I believe it was a little more colorful than blithering moron

No, Ipecac and most indie labels don't put those stickers on thier albums.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parental_advisory  Not to mention Alive at the Fucker Club and Colossuss of Destiny didn't have the sticker despite having a loop of "stop fucking me you're giving me a headache!" repeated roughly 30 times.

There's something a little odd about each of their albums like Mangled Demos and Houdini Live having the cover on the front but not the GPT rerelease or 26 Songs, being able to skip to the middle of each track on the Maggot, the 20min of silence at the end of Honky, etc.

Buzz talked about this before;

he said (paraphrasing) I don't want some 13 year old kid to not get into Melvins
because of some little sticker on our album about using a profanity.

To be honest more 13 year olds and people in general would buy it if it DID have a parental advisory on it.
