Run...don't walk...
This is the best Melvins cd in years....YEARS, perhaps ever. Like the previous reviewer said, "it will make you remember why you love the Melvins to begin with". Not only are the songs just plain amazing, the seamless integration of two drummers sounds SO natural! Coady is already amazing enough in Big Business, but now he makes Dale work even harder.

It's an amazing show to be seen live and it translates verbatim to CD. Don't miss them live or this CD. Your jaw will drop when you watch Dale and Coady drumming in unison, providing the perfect backdrop for the already drum heavy sound. Rarely does a novelty like "say, lets combine bands" work. Here, not only does it work...it's amazing and actually benefits the overall sound; nothing is compromised, it is only strengthened.

Here's to at least a few more years of this collaboration as it is my favorite Melvins CD quite possibly of all time.

Blessed be the Melvins
Simple review. If you have ever liked the Melvins at all ever in their long, long career, buy this new CD. It's that easy. It's pretty great. You will smile. You will rejoice. But more importantly, you will remember why you liked the Melvins to begin with. And that is never a bad thing.

As sort of a disclosure, let me admit some bias. I love me some KARP, people. Oh how I love me some KARP. KARP meets Melvins = Pure chewing satisfaction. Guaranteed.

I Smell Gold
I agree with stonedzombie: "I have to say that this is exactly what I expected the Melvins to put out....meaning that it is UNlike anything else they have put out before"

You never know what the Melvins will put out next, and the surprise this time (in my opinion) is that this is their most accessible album to date. No weird sound effects, extended noise/drone, etc. Lots of straight ahead, short, hard rock songs (six out of the ten songs are under three minutes long).

One thing you'll notice right away is the drumming. There's a lot of great extended drum fills in the middle and end of some songs. The dual drumming really brings the percussion to the forefront on this album.

Five stars is not enough for (A) Senile Animal.

I was lucky enough to catch The Melvins in Boston three nights ago. FANTASTIC SHOW!
